BAR HARBoR. Ne. Sept 2S-That
Commander Peary will have little left
10 say I'm denying the claims OF Dr.
Frederick A. Cook when the naval e9l-
plorers case is given TO the world or 20
an investigating committee was the belief
expressed today by friends who heard
the Commander tell just what he
thought OF Cook and his assertions.
Peary went into detail today and he
did not mince words. Patiently he was
angered by the charge that he refused
10 take Cooks instruments on board at
Etah with Harry Whitney because he
didn't want TO aid Cook.
Feary declares that Whitney betrayed
no interest whatever in recovering the
records at that time and that # he had
been 50 anxious 10 bring them at once
10 the United States IL would have
meant but the loss OF two days bear
hunting for the New Haven sportsman.
Furthermore, Peary brands as ludi-
croGs the claim that Cook made LOO
miles over Arctic Ice with the sledge he
left at Etah, or with the snowshoes that
were shown him
Tt Is well known" said Peary. scor-
ing what his bitterest enemy must re-
gard as staggering blow TO Cook
case. what my equipment was when 1
started north from Cape Columbia The
world has read of my equipment and
the world knows what my experience
was in the Arctic field Yet I did not
Tpalse quite fourteen degrees in my last
and only sUccessful dash to the Pole"
Laughs at Cooks SIedge.
Peary pointed out with a. smile that
showed every one or his cleaning teeth
and rufhed the bristies of his great
sandy mustache, that Dr.. Cook had
taken one sledge on his .7O0-mile Jour
ney over Arctic ice. This was the sIedge
that Cook left behind him at Etah
Il examined the sledge,' said the
commander. Yes, 1 looked over IL very
carefully SO did Henson. So did Nc
MILAN. They know sledges. I guess. /
and so do I. Was 10 anything like my 1
Morris X. Jesup sledge2 (Pearys shoul- |
ders shook, though at the same time
ne gTitted his teeth.) / should say Il 1
was not anything like the Morris X. /
Jesup sledge-
THAT sledge Of Cooks was built along 4
lines Of 90 sledge / ever saw before
Why, ! don't believe that sledge would 4
last one day over Arctic ice with d 4
standard load OF 800 OF 600 pounds"
Getting down TO the Whitney phase |
IN mis- controversy with Cook Peary
asked few questions that are vital
points I'm his brief against his rival
II would like to know" ne said why

in astronomy by China and Babylonia
at the dawn of civilization opened the
way for better time measurement.
Mems views were broadened, and the
invention of eras was begun. The
Chinese began a time computation
that is undoubtedly prehistoric. for
their records of the eclipses that
have been observed show a chronol-
ogy of at least 400 years duration.
and their historians assert that they
had a year measurement similar to
our Julian system fully 1000 B. c.
The earliest authentic date that
has bee handed down to us was in
scribed ON the foundation stone of
the temple to the sun god at Sippara
by Naram-Sin, son of Sargon. This
stone was exhumed by Nabonidus,
who reigned over Babylon about 554
B. c., and it is asserted that Naram-
Sin ruled 5000 years previously.
From these dates we learn that the
chronology of Babylon began with
the reign of Sargon l, king of Agade,
$500 B. c. From the best information
we have the calendar came into use
1880 B. C. with a week of seven days
and year OF II months, named after
zodiacal signs. The year consisted OF
$50 days, which probably suggested
the division of the circle into degrees.
Astronomical chronology was divided
into cycles of so years, 800 years, and
the star, or $500 years. The "Obser-
vations Of Bel the great Babylonian
work on astronomy and astrology,
gave record of eclipses of the sun
and moon, coniuactions and phases OF
some of the planets, the time OF the
new year and many other scientific
problems Many of the calculations
made in this ancient astronomy are OF
the utmost Importance even In our
day. and to it is due the era of Nabo-
nassau, one of the most famous III the
annals of chronology the basis OF all
the computations of Ptolemy, ana the
dates in connection with Alexander
and Aristotle. Since its epoch. Feb
&c, TAT b. c., it maintained its ground
till after the commencement OF the
vulgar era.

WIND CHILDREN.

Hopping and skipping along the lane
The little wind children have come
again;
Brown and crimson, from tree TO tree
They dance and rattle in elfin glee:
Over the pathway and down the
street
| hear the click of their velvet feet.
Wind of the autumn blowing them
by
In some brown hollow at last to lie!
The little wind children have come to
town,
Crimson of maple and oak leaf brown;
Chasingg and racing, away they go
Along the cutters and round the row;
Far III the forest they fall and float
On the viewless winds like a sailless
boat,
Rustling and smuggling, when night
brings dream,
On their fernly bed by the woodland
Stream'

FOREST FIRES AFFECT SALT.

A Detroit, Mich, salt manufactures
SAYS that as a result of the great for
est fires that have been raging in that
state, common table salt may become
a luxury. All the wood and sawdust
used by salt companies was burned
up and to import coal is out of the
question on account of expense SO II
is feared the salt output will be re-
duced to such point that stiff
advance in prices must follow BY
the present method of producing salt
water is sunk into the saline deposits
1t is later pumped off and drawn into
huge pans, where by evaporation the
salt is extracted Wood and saWdust
are the fuel used for the evaporation
process. This is now exhausted

Losses by Fire IrreparabIe.

"This is bad news from Maine which
tells of great fires in the forests. The
meaning will be better understood
when it is remembered that the great
Maine woods constitute the only re
serve of timber of any real conse
quence in that part of the country
Every inroad upon it is irreparable, so
far as the present generation is con-
cerned. The case is bad enough when
axe and saw are welded recklessly
but at lea t We have the use of the
timber. Fire simply destroys; the
great tracts burned over are a total
loss. = Providence Bulletin.
