THE TWO NORTH POLES.

Father Chas. M Charropin, S. j., the as
tronomer of st. Louis, while not doubling
that DR.. Cook has discovered the North Pole,
suggests the possibility of inaccuracy of the
instruments in taking bearings In long
interview in the st. Louis Republic he states
that aboad ship variations in the reading of
the sextant have frequently occurred 4
would not be surprised, " he said, IF it were
found that DR.. Cook had missed the pole
by about twenty or thirty miles"
Since Commander Peary's discovery of the
North Pole and his statement that he had
come across no indications of anyone else
having preceded him, some doubts seem to
have arisen in the mind of the public, espe-
cially abroad, as to the accuracy of Dr.
Cooks observations, and it may develop that
Father Charroppin's suggestion of discrep-
ancy Of twenty or thirty miles in the situa-
ton of the pole may be the cause of so many
poles being discovered.
Father Charroppin is an uncle of Mr.. E.
L. Charroppin, of Covington.
Judging from the reports of statements
made by Peary, he does not believe that Dr.
Cook ever reached the pole, while the Doc
tor claims that he will produce ample proof,
in duestime, to substantiate his claim
