The entire trip from the time he leaves Phila delphia within the next ten dayn until he returns three years hence will be financed by the sale of the specimens which he col lects on his trip. Mixed with his love of nature and his almost uncanny understanding of It for one of his years, the young man has a business ability which would do credit to one many years his senior.

He Will also take a Vlctrola, on which he will make records If possible of the muslo of Se hitherto unvlslted tribes of Indians. r, Weldenbacher, like the explorers of the early days In America, has already pur chased many trinkets to give the Indians to make friends with them.

PENNSYLVANIA MAKES TARGET RECORD Grim Dreadnought Hits Fivo Times in Twelve Shots at Unseen Marks BALDI SEEKS OFFICE DESPITE LAW FRAUD WASHINGTON, Sept 15. The remajlr ablo performance of hitting a target at a dlstanco of 22,000 yards, or approximately eleven sea mites, JnvlilMo to the gunners, five times out of twelve shots fired In a simultaneous salvo, has just boen made .by the new superdreadnought Pennsylvania In firing teats conducted In the Chesapeake Bay, The Pennsylvania Is armed with a main battery of twelve fourteen-lnch guns. These were fired last -week In a single salvo at the distance stated, and at thut distance five of the tweho shots hit the target. A photographic record of the fall of the twelve shots has been made and sent to the Navy Department it la believed by ordnance experts that this constitutes a world's record. The firing took place at Tangier Sound, In Chesapeake Bay, and the target was the sunken hulk of the San Marcos, formerly the battleship Texas, which has for the last five years .been used as a target for various Important ordnnnco experiments by the Bureau of Ordnance of the navy. Tho firing In which this record was made was part of the odlcl.il testing of the gum of tho Pennsylvania to uncertain whax they could do under various conditions. It was not a test of the gunners but of the guns that was planned, because, ordnance experts wanted to know Just what the fourteen-lnch guns with which the Pennsylvania is armed would accomplish In salvo firing. The guns were tried tn various ways. In slnglo shots and otherwise, to test the ballistics of the weapons and the working of the guns and their turrets. Ordnance ex perts also sought to discover whether the firing of these guns under actual service conditions .would develop defects In either guns or their turrets. No such defects were developed.
