‘Judgment as ,to my Democracy

Island.
Klein has completed plans /or a
temporary exile on Kerguelen Island,
in th«> southern part of the Indian
owin, on the border of the Antarctic
ocean. He Is going to collect skins of
**a elephants, a kind of seal larger
than a walrus, which are said to exist
in the seas about that Island. Klein
will also shoot birds for the museum’s
toiieition and make a thorough investf-
latiun of ever> species of every living
thins there, not excepting mosquitoes
*nd files. He will leave this city In
the early part of September and sail
from Boston. The voyage will take
six months. Klein will take with him
the latest camping outfit and canned
food, but he expects to live chiefly on
what he can shoot on the island.
The captain of the Whaler has made
a contract with the museum authorities
to take Klein to the Island ami give
him occasional help on condition that
he can have the sea Hons which Klein
shoots.
Dr. F. A. Lucas Is responsible for
sending the young man out on the ex
pedition as he thinks some Important
developments will be made on that Is
land. Mosquitoes are said to exist
there, but not the kind found In this
part of the world, as they are not
equipped with wings. There are also
on the Island peculiar species of tor
toise and birds, which have never yet
been seen in the museums.

bounds and trespass on posted land,
will rise up to a man and voice Its dis
approval of 61,000 being taken from the
park appropriation tor the erection of
temporary sheds, which It has been
decided to build before the State Fair
i convenes In October,
j Some time ago It was decided to
erect these sheds so as to have suffi
cient room for exhibits after giving the
agricultural building to the vehicle
manufacturers to be used In connec
tion with their convention. The park
board at Its session Wednesday after
noon voiced the sentiment that the
Fair Association would gain by the
erection of the sheds and not the park
and that the Fair Association should
stand the extra expense..
The meeting Wednesday afternoon
was an important one. There will he
