WILL WALK 100 MILES on WATER.
Robert Cook of Boston to Go From

PITTSBURG, Pa. June 18.-Robert Cook
of Boston Is in Pittsburg arranging to per-
form the remarkable feat of walking dis
lance of 400 miles, from Pittsburg to Gin
cinnau, on water.
Cook Is the inventor of a pair of shoes
by meant of which he can walk on water
He claims that with the use of them he
can make as good time as a man walking
along an asphalt street. While In Chicago
few days ago this was questioned. Cook
offered to wager $1,000 that he would walk
distance Of 400 miles in fourteen days,
and do it easily.
This was quickly taken up by John Leo
pold, west side saloon keeper of that city.
Cook deposited his side of the bet and the
saloon keeper did the same.
The money is now in the hands OF a re-
sponsible stakeholder, and all that remains
for Cook to do to be richer by 81 900 is to
demonstrate his ability to walk on the
Ohio.
The start will be made from the 9Th
street bridge in this city on September l. at
noon. He will be accompanied by a small
steam launch. After completing his ar
rangements here Cook will go into training
