He is a wealthy man, who personally is financing an expedition which is being sent to the Sepik District of New Guinea by the Philadelphia Museum of Science and by Harvard Uni versity, to gather specimens and to study primitive life in that country. Mr. Crane was with an expedition which went up the Sepik River in 1929. On this occa sion, the expedition is taking sound recording apparatus into the primitive country and some valuable records, thereby, are likely to be made.
