ever-present probability that he had
persisted and the schooner jeanne, a
relief ship, is now en- route to Etah,
where she is due the middle of this
month. The Jeanne left st. Johns N.
F., about two weeks ago with the
double purpose of searching for DR..
Cock and taking supplies to Com.
mander Peary. The expedition was
financed by special committee
headed by DR.. Roswell o. Stebbins of
thfs city and composed of friends OF
DR.. Cook and men of science who
were most keenly interested in his
venture.
Sketch Of the Discoverer.
DR.. Cook was born at Calicoon De-
pot, Sullivan county. New York, in
1865. He was married in Brooklyn in
1902 to Miss Mary Hunt. He went
with the Peary expedition in 1892,
and in 1894 organized the Miranda ex.
petition. He was surgeon of the Bel.
gan antarctic expedition in 1897.
Next, in 1901, he went as surgeon
with the Peary Erik" auxiliary expe.
dition. His ascent of Mount Mckinley
in Alaska. October 3, 1906, is the first
OF record.

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's

STEAMER
TOUR

The most interesting announce.
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make n public demonstra-
tion of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, If such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, it would have been impos-
sible for the driver Of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and penalty in
fiicted. At night the cars were
gu"rded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

amount OF fuel used on the trip
fifteen per cent. more efficient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car in
other respects made most creditable
showing, and there WAS the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum of com
fort The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening a lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring n damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not in.
ilictod undl more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute
ly perfect score"
A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer Is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel The necessary adjust.
ncnts so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made In n couple OF
minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proved 10 BE-, that II is
not believed that any purchasers viii
care to use gasoline.
The White Company report that
the demand for their new steam cars
both the S2000.model and the
SlO00model--c%ceed their most san,
guine expectations. 4 is evident that
the combination OF steam--the pow
er which everyone understands and
has confidence in with kerosene

and can handle without any danger

Pests Worried by Pests.

Since the Dutch philosopher Leu
wenhoek discovered that the pupa of
the flea was sometimes preyed on by
the larvae OF mite, 1t has been well
known that various small insects have
their external parasites. And a re-
cent communication to the Complies
Rendus of the Biological society of
Paris by M. Bruyant, shows that many
mosquitoes carry about mites in the
larval stage. Those described belong
to four different genera. They prob
ably feed on the integumentary
structures of the mosquitoes.

The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650.mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero.
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2S60.mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf We're fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured Kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap.
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
| line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
| It was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an Interested
| crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish Of the
tour, the White was the only car per.
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally the

LOW COLONlST FARES TO THE

Union Pacific Passenger Depart
ment announces that Colonist Fares
will be in effect from Sept. Is to Oct.
Is, 1909, to all points in the West and
Northwest.
This year the West looks more
promising than ever. Now is the time
to secure land at low prices, and, at
the same time. to visit the many inter
esting points in the West and North
west, at which liberal stopover ar
rangements may be made.
A better estimate of raw lands can
be made now than formerly, because
these lands are in proximity to new
farms that are producing wonderful
crops.
