Abstract
THE American Geographical Society has guaranteed Lieut. Peary the sum of 150,000 dollars to meet the expenses of his proposed Arctic expedition. Lieut. Peary has obtained five years' leave of absence, and will start upon his journey about the end of next July. The large meteorite he succeeded in obtaining during the expedition which returned to St. John's, Newfoundland, towards the end of last month, weighs over seventy tons, and is to be placed in the New York Museum of Natural History.
