MUSK OX AND POLAR BEAR. Peary Aictic Club Exhibit. Through these 400 miles no living thing is to he found, for musk oxen and caribou range no farther north than Cape ^lorris K. Jesup, the northernmost land, while seal, walrus and narwhal are foimd only along the waters that margin the land. The rest of the trip as traced shows a veritable "dash to the Pole." On March 11, S4° north was passefl, and a week later, S5° north was reached, 300 miles from the Pole. By March 27 the expedition passed 87° north, and April 2, 8cS° north, only 120 miles from the Pole and farther north than any human being had ever l)efore penetrated. Only four days later camp was made at the journey's end, and the American flag was flying at 90° north. There is scarcely anything in the Peary Arctic Club's exhibit outside of this map that attracts more attention than a sledge on the west side
