VIII This application was made to the
foreign office.
Before Mr. Egan had a reply the king
himself requested that DR.. Cook should
be presented that afternoon. At this au-
dience the visitors were paid an unusual
honor when the queen, the Princess Inga-
Dor of Sweden and the Princesses Thyra
and Dagmar and Prince Gustav appeared.
The members of the royal party asked
Dr. Cook many questions.
In the evening there was a banquet at
the city hall in honor Of the explorer.

Egan and DR.. Cook dined at the king s
summer palace at Charlottenlund.

Another unusual honor was paid the
minister and DIR. Cook when they were
invited to tea with the royal family. This
gave the king and other members of the
royal family an opportunity to carry on
an animated conversation with DR.. COOK.
September DR.. Cook lectured before
800 people in the great hall of the Con-
cert Palais for the Royal Geographical
Society. The royal family was present.
The lecture seemed to satisfy the audi
ence Mr.. Egan recites, but DIR. Cook was
evidently determined to keep all impor-
tant information for future use.
At this time the crown prince presented
DIR. Cook with the gold medal of the
Royal Geographical Society. The morn
ing OF September DR.. Cook was granted
the highest honor in the power OF the
University of Copenhagen the honorary
title of doctor of philosophy.

BARRIER AGAINST THE COYOTE
EXPERIMENT IN WEST DECLAR-
ED TO BE SUCCESS.
Fence Devised Which Protects
Sheep From the Inroads of
Their Enemy.

A successful barrier against the inroads
OF the coyote In the sheep flocks Of the west
has been found. 1t is believed. in the coyote
proof fence, experiments with which have
been carried on during the last year by
special agent of the forest service at
Billy Meadows on the Wallowa national
forest reserve in Oregon. This Informal
ton is conveyed in q bulletin made pub.
lie by the forest service
One OF the greatest enemies Of the sheep
Industry is the coyote, and in keeping
him out OF the sheep pasture the chief
purpose for which the fence was designed
has been accomplished. Coyotes came to
the fence nearly every night for ninety
five days. according to the reports, and
occasionally followed II for several miles.
but not one succeeded In passing over or
under, except when the snow was deep
enough to give them an easy jump.
Summarizing the experiments for tho
season Of 1908. the report says:
The coyoteproof fence was entirely
successful as protection against coyotes;
not successful against bear; still
full against lynXes. and, of course. not
successful against badgers" The damage.
however, from bears. bobcats and lynxes
Is small when compared to the large
loss from the coyotes.
Easy for Grizzly Bears.
1t was apparently simple matter for
the grizzly bear to pass through the fence
between the woven wire and the first
barbed wire, or between the top two
barbed wires, simply by pressing the wires
apart.
Down in Tennessee the farmers have
an expression that leaves little to be said
to show that the fence Is good 1t is
'Bull-strOng, hawg-tight and hoss-high."
The Oregon sheen fence is only coyote
tight 1t isn't bear-strong or elk-high.
One of the interesting features Of the re-
port relates an exper ence OF an elk with
the fence. A big Elk struck the fence
a dead run, apparently not having seen it.
The fence right there collapsed, but elk
hide and elk hair remained to show what
had happened. Moreover. he had his eyes
open when he struck the other side. and
his tracks showed where he took the
fence on the run, hurdling ii clearly.

Notes With Whitney.
DIR. Cook was questioned regarding an
interview with Harry Whitney, the New

stated DR.. Cook did not leave any records
with him at Etah but instruments only.
Or. Cook said he left several cases with
Whitney containing instruments and also
some rough drafts and notes which might

which would be Of great value to himself

There is no question but such notes
