' Travel Upstream Impossible. "The Salmon river, which winds through rugged Central Idaho, has been truly designated the 'Klver of No Returns,'" the announce ment continues. "The falls and roaring rapids of the swift stream, and the sheer cliffs and rugged ness of the canyon, make travel up stream Impossible. ' Downstream navigation can be accomplished only In stout, flat-bottomed boats, rein forced to withstand numerous col lisions with boulders in the rap Ids and low falls. "The source of the river Is in-the rugged sawtooth mountain range of southern Idaho, For many miles It flows north. About 20 miles be low the town' of Salmon it turns westward to enter the main gorge. ' The Salmon river expedition will begin Its exploration at Salmon early In October, working down the river through the main gorge to the lower gorge. The latter begins at Whiteblrd and extends about 60 miles to the Junction of the Salmon and Snake rivers. Subjects for Color Camera. "The wildly beautiful main gorge of the Salmon river is one of the loneliest regions in the country. For 150 miles along a deep, twist ing canyon the only settlement Is an occasional cabin. The rushing torrent has cut through several thousand feet of lava flows and deep into older formations beneath. Th ranvon'a ereat depth. 6,000 feet In places, permits aclentinc srauy of formations more 'than a mile below the original surface of the main body of granite rock.

Four of the famous chronometers made by John Harri son, which were the first Instru ments Invented to solve the marin er's problem of "finding the longi tude" are on view at the Science , museum at Kensington, They have been lent by the British admiralty. Harrison, according to the mu seum, was the first to make an in strument capable of keeping suffi ciently accurate time at sea, and It was with these same chronome ters that he won $100,000 offered by ho p.Htiah government in 1714 for a method of determining a vessel's longitude td within an accuracy or 30 miles, at the end of a voyage to the West Indies, i. 17m RnrriHon was successful, His fourth chronometer had aided in tha nnvleation of a boat to Ja maica, and at the end of the voyage It was found to be in error Dy oniy five seconds, which corresponds to an error In longitude of one mne. He won the $100,000, the final in stallment of the award being paid him in 1773. The first three of Harrison's chronometers, which were, valuable contributions to the science of nav igation, were large clocks, each weighing 50 pounds. The one which won the prize, however, was small er, resembling a large watch of about five Inches diameter. Traveling Family McDaniel" " " ' 1 . ' .
