Advanced for the Weak Tone in Yes
terday's Stock Market-Prices
Fell Off.

New York, Sept. 22.-Various reas-
ons were advanced for the weak tone
of today's stock market. The real
reason was the suspicion that the cap
italiss who played a leading part in
the prolonged advance of prices and
their followers were selling or had sold
great part of their holdings. Efforts
to sustain prices were made plainly
enough, but their ineffectiveness sug-
gested the recent passing of stocks
from strong to weaker hands. The be.
lief that this process has been going
on is fostered by number of stories
recently influential in stimulating
speculative buying which have failed
Of confirmation. 1t was surmisel
that the persons responsible for the
circulation of these rumors were I'M
likely to wait until the time there
was certain disproof to effect the sell
ing of stocks, on the demand when
these rumors were palpably designed
to stimulate.
The disposition today was to mis-
trust the limitations of intended divi-
dend increases granting valuable sub
scription rights and perfecting I'M
portant deals, which was done ef.

Hair Color Heredity.

Heredity OF hair color Is discussed
by Gertrude and Charles Davenport
in the American Naturalist AS re
CARDS the nature of the coloring, the
authors consider that there are, prob
ably two main types Of pigment In
human hair, one reddish-yellow
v hich finds Its highest development
in bright red, and the other Sc
pia-brown, the intensity OF which
ranges from light yellow to dark
brown and black As the result of a
combined study of both eye-color and
hair-color, the writer's finally arrive
at the conclusion that two parents
with clear blue eyes and yellow o.
fiaxen straight hair can have children
only Of the same type. no matter what
the grandparental characteristic
were; that dark-eyed and haired, cur
ly-haired parents may have children
like themselves, but also OF the less
developed condition In the latter
case what the proportions of each
type will be Is, for fairly large fam

Not long ago an Indianapolis drum
mer, known for his ability to get over
ground in a hurry. had one of old
Henry's rigs with which he drove to
a neighboring town. Part of the way
was over a corduroy road. The drum
mer's business detained him longer
than he expected, and whenAhe finally
got back in the buggy for the return
trip he found that he would have to
drive some to catch a train.
He made the livery outfit scamper
along the road at a lively pace. Finally,
when he struck the corduroy road. he
felt something snap, and knew that he
had broken spring on the buggy. He
saw visions of having to make the
damage good to old Henry When he
reached the barn he jumped out and
said

EMINENT MEN ARE
BELIEVERS IN COOK
They Feel Certain He Succeed
ed and Recount His
Exploits.

Winnipeg, Man, Sept. Al believe
DR., Cook has reached the North Pole"
said Prof. Louis A. Bauer of Carnegie
Institute, Washington, today.
Or. Cook discussed with me in 1907
his plans to reach the pole, He was
profoundly impressed with the posi-
bility of the great achievement If 1t was
scientifically planned. His achievement
will UHquestionably be attended with
the most valuable results to science.
DR.. Cook has made an almost lifelong
study of the northern and southern
lights and should have much that is
new to tell of these wonderful phe-
nOmena.
That telegram to his wife" con-
tinUed PROBES. Bauer, rs not very def
mite, but personally I think DR.. Cook
has hit the pole. He is the manner of
man who would utilize the word sue
cessfur for nothing less"
J. r, TyrreH, an eminent engineer of
Toronto, who is a member of the New
York Explorers club, of which DR..
Cook is also a member, recalled the
circumstances of DR.. Cooks departure
on his perilOus expedition.
"a good many people did not take
the expedition seriously" said Mr. Tyr
relI. but we all knew he would 60
as far a. he could without the slightest
| concern as how he was going to get
back. You get q fair idea of the man
from his mountain climbing achieve
ments two years ago. Everyone said
he could not climb Mount Mckinley
but he did climb it, and it was d climb
of ten thousand feet higher than
AbruzzTs famous ascent Of Mount st
/ Elias"

FAMOUS POLAR EXPLORER IS
SKEPTICAL AS To The STORY

If this is so, I VIII reiterate more
strongly than ever that Dr.. Cooks al
legged discovery is highly improbable.
According to DR.. Cooks story. no
mention is made Of the travel from
April ii to April q. 1903. His bearings
on the former date were, it is reported,
So degrees p minutes north latitude,
and, roughly speaking, d distance of
about 100 miles remained before him
after April 1t. An average of about
fourteen miles per day thereafter must
have been maintained.
1T was my experience in the jeanette
expedition retreat GS7S-SD, that after
marching thirty miles one day we found
we had actually gone two and one-haIf
miles. That the ice drift was north
ward in DR.. Cooks expedition is not at
all impossible, but it is very improb-
able.
THE talk of having killed musk oxen
is not new. These animals were killed
years ago. The apparent ease of DR..
Cooks travel near the pole is what in
clibes me strongly TO discredit the story.
With a pack of good dogs and sleds in
Siberia, over smooth snow, the best dis
lance / ever made was fifty miles day.
Ice travel is much more difficult"
Admiral Melville is IS years old. He
has been on three Arctic expeditions,

DR.. COOK is PRAISED
BY BELGIAN NEWSPAPERS

Brussels. Sept. belgian newspapers
comment with enthusiasm on DR.. Cook $
achievements. They recall how he came
to join the Belgian expedition to the
south pole. on the very day the doctor,
who had been previously engaged, was
notified TO join the party, DR.. Cook ca
bled from New York asking If by chance
there was a place vacant aboard the
Belgica.
instructions were Immediately sent to
him to join the ship at Rio de Janeiro.
Dr. Cooks assistance on that expedi-
ton was most valuable, not only as a
physician, but as q photographer and
scientist He was the life of the party.
and worked wonders in cheering up the
Belgians time after time when their
courage failed.
