SAYS CRUSOE’S CAVE HABITABLE AND UNCHANGED Scientist Brings Back Interesting Facts From Hero’s Island. COVERED 25,000 MILES

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.—Little boys who yearn to follow In the footsteps of Robinson Crusoe will be happy to learn that the cave In which Defoe's hero lived for four years is still habitable and unchanged since the day when Crusoe and his man Friday reigned supreme. This cheering news for the younger generation was brought back to civilization by Dr .William Alanson Bryan, professor of zoology and geology of the University of Hawaii, after a year's travel in Latin America and south Pacific waters in search of evidence to prove or disprove the theory of continental submergence in the Pacific as the explanation of the existence of 'the various island groups of Polynesia. - The search for evidence carried Prof. Bryan over 23.000 miles of lane and sea travel filled with hardships and perils, the recounting of which outdoes the experience of Robinson Crusoe.^ However, inasmuch ts he gathered data of highest value in the scientific , world, he considers the trip worth all the hardships it cost him. He traced the origin of plants and animals native to their isolated islands and secured much evidence to support the theory of continental submergence. CRUSOE STORY OF MOST INTEREST. “I bring back wth me,” he said, “facts that tend to show thpt some time--probabiy within the eretaceous period of geologic time —there existed n land connection extending from the San Juan Fernandes islands, 400 miles ofT Valparaiso, to, the Hawaiian group, a distance of 6,000 miles.” Despite the scientific value of the investigations of Prof. Bryan to young America his visit to the island of Robinson Crusoe assumes paramount lnterest. Prof. Bryan remained alone for two days and two nights on Masatierra, of the Juan Fernandes group—the Island i where Alexander Selkirk, between 1704 . and 1706, lived the experiences that furnished the basis for the classic adventure of “Robinson Crusoe.” He adhered as strictly as possible to the primitive mode of living adopted of necessity by tbe famous shipwrecked l mariner. He cooked his dmple meals, furnished by the sparse plant and animal life of Masatierra, in the shelf-like oven chiseled by Selkirk out of the solid rock of the cave. The lonely habitation lies In an Isolated valley, surrounded by great towering mountains, and is reached from the colonized part of the island only after many hours on a stormy sea. Prof. Bryan also made extensive in- l vestigations in Easter Island, the most highly isolated land In the world In- ' habited by a primitive people. _ ALSO VISITS EASTER ISLAND. “This island.” he explained, “is 2,100 miles off the coast of Chile. “In order to reach It. 1 traveled by a small tramp sailing vessel, tbe trip occupying two montbe of time and re-' quiring more than 7,000 miles of sailing. “The primitive inhabitants of these islands were Polynesians, and were celebrated for their wonderful stone monoliths, of which between 500 and 600 remain on the Island In an area thirteen miles long by seven miles wide. “A great scientific problem bas always been Just bow these monuments were made and transported from one part of the island to the other, and set up in native burial temples by these primitive people. “Many of the monuments weigh as much as fifty tons, and there are as

many as sixteen set up in a single temple. “I feel that I- have gained the information that will tend to elucidate the culture of these interesting people.” Prof. Bryan is attending the PanAmerican congress of distinguished men of science from all countries in and about the Pacific, called under the auspices of the Bishop museum of Honolulu. The purpose of the conference is to formulate plans for a complete anthropological and general survey of the islands of the Pacific. As far back as 1907 Prof. Bryan originated a plan for Pacific exploration when he organized the Pacific Scientific institute, but was interfered with because Andrew* Carnegie desired to have the great 100-lnch telescope of Mount Wilson completed before his deiKh. The congress is a revivification of the idea, and Is progressing under the leadership of Dr. Gregory of Yale university, now head of tbe Bishop museum.
