A QUESTION OF o
Ths Most serioul Obstacle In the We,
Of Reach' ng the North
EtfalS Pole.

DR.. Frederick A. Cook, of Brook
Ign, who was with Lieut.. Peary on
one of his arctic trips and with The
Belgica expedition to the south pole
as chief surgeon, expresses the opin-
ion that Peary's latest endeavor was
by no means a failure and that the
explorer has added material to the
annals of science which will be found
invaluable, in fact, more valuable
than the actual discovery of the pole
ITSELF"
"All this talk about the terrible
dangers to be met before reaching
the pole is sheer rot,' continued DR..
Cook. "A man, all things taken into
account, is just as safe on the arctic
ice fields as he is in New York.
There are no fever germs there, no
contagious diseases, no miasmatic
swamps, no W gas, no decaying
vegetables, no rotting rags. Every
thing is on ice. There is no danger
in t%raversing the ice fields, nor from
the cold, which is not so severe as
the cut of the saline blasts on the
Atlantic sea coasts" 2
1T 80 the food question:" he added,
that was the .cul de sac that closes
up the way to the pole. When this
problem is solved reaching the pole
will be quite q simple undertaking."

Ensi a gle. E

While Mrs. M. Foley, Of Bristol,
Conn.,, a summer visitor at Wood
mont, was fishing for snapper blues
in a small boat off Charles Island,
she caught a shark. There were sew
eral other ome in the boat. All
the women wore bathing suits.
Mrs. Foley felt a strong tug at
her line. The fish pulled so hard
that she could not hold it, and, see
ing that she would be obliged to let
go if she remained in the boat, she
retained a hold on her pole and
jumped overheard. She is an expert
swimmer and had no fear when she
went into the water. Her friends
quickly pulled on the anchor of their
boat and started to row to her res
cue.
When they caught up with her
other hands seized the pole and,
after an exciting struggle, a shark
about four feet long was landed.

N IN MAPLEWOOD.
Tie Only Way to Fina the Bird's-Eye
L to Cut Into the
rel

Nobody seems to know what cause it
s. which produces those delicate and
beautiful lines in maple, known as
b~ird's-eye. Some people think they
come from the hundreds of little
branches which shoot out over the
trunk Of the tree as soon as a clearing
is made around it. Expert timbermen
say that is not the case. The onlyway
TO tell q bird's-eye maple tree is to cut
it. There are no outward signs by
which one canjudge. The Railroad Ca
8xette tells q story Of the late George
~. Pullman. Many years ago he was
offered . mahogany log for 50, 900, to
be cut into veneers. II was supposed
TO be . very fine piece Of wood. but this
could only be determined by cutting it.
He declined the offer, but agreed to
take the log cut into veneers for what
it was worth. The owner had it sawed
and was paid $1,000 for his yeneers.
Anyone who can discover the secret
OF determining the interior nature OF
wood from the outside will have . for

Revision of Insurance Laws.

The insurance laws of the state should

there has been an absence of positive cor

force. As result the insurance depart

To be called upon to legislate for a great
state like kansas is responsibility that

bring to the work your best thought and
effort. The natural pride every citizen
has in his state suggests at once that the
institutions Of the state should be main
tanned upon plane commensurate with
the dignity and growth of the state This
is commendable. but there is another in
terest that should be sacred TO every one
the duty we owe to the burden bearers,
the people who pay the taxes. The peo-
pie will justify a generous support of all
the great interests of our state, but they
condemn any prohigate waste Of public

Hoping your associations may be pleas
ant and your work harmonious. I pledge
YOU my hearty cooperation in carrying
out your wishes and in giving Kansas the
best administration possible

Sac Architect.

I would recommend the enactment of a
law authorizing the appointment of a
state architect The legislature of 1901
appropriated $730,250 for new buildings, to
say nothing about the repairs that are
included in the appropriations for mainte-
nance and repairs at the different institute
lions. The average paid architects bv the
various boards is 215 per cent of the con
tract price. Some are less, but others in
clude the expenses of the architect On
Si3O, 20, 212 per cent would be S17, POS paid
out during the past two years.
L feel that a state architect who has su-
perv1sion over the buildings Of the state
will not only result in a saving to the
state but will induce a uniformity in the
buildings, a condition much desired.
