Roosevelt claims discovery of River of Doubt in Brazil

In an address to the National Geographic Society Theodore Roosevelt asserts that a previously unmapped river in western Brazil, named the River of Doubt, equals or surpasses major rivers in length and challenges existing maps. He credits Colonel Rondon and Brazil’s telegraphic commission for foundational work, recounts the perilous expedition, and notes extensive mapping remains to be done while urging official recognition of Brazilian explorers.

Aero skiing machine by Bertrand de Lessups proposed for polar explorers

Count Bertrand de Lessups has built an air propelled snow vehicle capable of 15 to 60 mph on firm snow, with shoe shaped runners and vibration control springs. A protected propeller area and ground clearance adjustments enable up to 100 mph in certain conditions, a concept linked to Shackleton's Antarctic plans. Abroad this transport craze is called aero skiing.
