"LOST WORLD - CONQUERED
Scientific Expedition In Arizona ICE AGE VEGETATION TQ BE STUDIED (OTITXD mSI ASSOCIATION —COPYBIQBT.J (Received September 17, 11.30 p.m.l! GRAND CANYON (Arizona), September 16. A signal fire at the top of Shiva Temple, which is a plateau rising to 4500 feet, and untrodden by man for at least 12,000 years, announced that a party of nine scientists and five porters had conquered the "lost world." The members of the expedition roped themselves together, and perilously groped their way for many hours up a perpendicular sandstone cliff 350 feet high. Only essential supplies were taken, these including traps in which it was hoped to ensnare animals unknown to modern science. The expedition also carried instruments for the study of surviving forms of ice age vegetation. Food will be parachuted to the expedi-> tion from aeroplanes.
