SEES COMET WITH
THE NAKED EYE

Chicago, Sept. 17-For the first time
in "A years Halley's comet has been
observed with the naked eye. The OBJ
servation was made by Professor Burn
ham at Yerkes' observatory at Lake
Geneva Wednesday and Thursday
nights. Two Photographic negatives
were secured.
Professor Burnham was the first in
America to see the comet with the
naked eye aided by a telescope. Hal
ley's comet, according to the scien-
lists, will not be visible to the naked
eye without a telescope before next
spring. The sighting of it with the
eye through the telescope is consid-
cred great feat by scientists. Pro
fessor Burnham was sweeping the
heavens with his 40-inch telescope at
the observatory when he first saw the
visitor, while Professor Lee was work
ing the 24-inch instrument with the
camera.

Cook, on the Other Hand, Has
Won Confidence on Ant
arctic Trip.

Dresden, Sept. 17.-Raoul Olivier,
member of the executive committee
of the Belgian Antarctic expedition
in 1897, now in Dresden. today .ex-
pressed the opinion that the Belgian
scientists generally had full confidence
in Cook, who, Olivier says, has won
the esteem and admiration of the Bel
gian committee and Belgian Antarc-
tic expedition, of which he was a
member, by his quiet and unassum-
ing demeanor, his integrity and his
determination. If obliged to judge
between the narratives of Cook and
Peary, Olivier said he would place
greater reliance ON the former.
Similarity Surprising.
Olivier said he was astonished at
the similarity between the two
stories Cooks statement regarding
the temperature at the pole was con-
firmed by previous observations.
Peary's estimate was too low. Oliv-
ier said frankly he disbelieved
Peary's statement that he had trav-
eled 25 miles day and thinks the
confession of the commander that he
took only one man to the, pole with
him because he wanted to have the
honor of discovering the pole all to
himself supplies clue for his at
tack on Cook.
Lacked Sufficient Time.

pole were insufficient to take copious

Mr.. Forgan in his address said ::
Bankers and their customers alike
are deeply interested in this subject.
For some years past this interest has
manifested itself in a growing de-
maDd that bank supervision should be
on thorough and bank examinations
them. In response to this demand
there has been steady development
of mcthcd and a widening of scope
III government examinations-bot
national and state; the clearing
house associations of some of our
larger cities have organized examina-
ton bureaus; and private audits by
chartered accountants have become
of much more general and more fre-
quent use. These developments have
greatly enhanced the efficacy of bank
supervision an dimproved the efficacy
of bank examinations.

opments and improvements tha;

by examination will be overlook ed
