Copenhagen, Sept. 2. That Or.
Frederick A. Cook, the American ex-
plorer, reached the North Pole in his
expedition which has just ended, was
given full credence here.
A message was received at the CO.
lonial Office here via Lerwick, Shet-
land Islands, announcing that DIR. Cook
had reached the pole April 81, 1908.
This despatch was sent by a Green
land official on board the Danish gov
eminent steamer Hans Egede which
passed Lerwick en- route for Denmark.
and read as follows;
eve have on board the American
traveller, DR.. Cook, who reached the
North Pole, April 81, 1908. DR.. Cook
arrived at Upernavik in May of 1909
from Cape York. The Esquimeaux of
Cape York confirm DR.. Cooks story of
his Journey"
It is understood that the Danish con-
sui at Lerwick was officially notified
of DIR. Cooks reaching the pole, but
b1hd Nc was pCuiN ~ pSNhNSJ NChNSAA
ing the extent and nature of the ex-
plorer's discoveries.
Director Ryberg, head of the Green
land administration bureau, said that

Their details of DR.. Cooks achievement
before the arrival of the Hans Egede
at this port, which probably would be
Saturday afternoon. The vessel will
make no stops on the voyage from Ler-
wick to Copenhagen.
Americans Are Jubilant.
Director Ryberg proceeded to the
American legation and informed the
minister that DR.. Cook reached the
North Pole. This caused the greatest
enthusiasm throughout the city and
many Americans called at the legation
to congratulate the minister.
The noted explorer, Commander
Hovgaard, leader of various North
Pole expeditions, was convinced that
the message that DIR. Cook had reach
ed the pole was true. but remarked
that It was strange that no mention
was made in the cable as to whether
or not there is land at the pole. 1t is
the intention of the people OF Copen-
hagen, on DR.. Cooks arrival here, TO
give him a most enthusiastic reception.

THE PLANET MARS
ECL|PSED BY MOON
Interesting Phenomenon Observed by
Many People-ideal Night For
the Spectacle.
From The World Of Thursday.

From The World OF Thursday.
Mars had its light put out last night
In one OF the most interesting con-
tiicts of natures warfare. The moon
did 1t after q struggle that was spec
tacnlar and interesting. Mars with it's
large volume and diameter has always
been considerable some pumpkins In
the planetary world. but last night 1t
yentured too near the Garth. and the
90 slipped in and shus off his view.
The eclipse occurred ct S.57 o'clock
and was clearly visible 10 the naked
eye.
When the moon rose II was clearly
evident that II was ready for the Tray.
Slowly but surely II approached lis adj
versary, and at S.5I It looked as II It
had swallowed the %sparEling star.
At the time Mars was to the left.
and the moon crossed It's line of vision
below the middle axis. In about an
hour Mars emerged from behind the
moon and went on It's course,
II was the first time the noon has
eclipsed Mars since the early seven
ties, and astronomers say IL will prob
ably be several decades before il oc-
ours again.
The night was perfect for the gpec-
tacle. Hundred OF persons observed
the brilliant. moon as X slowly APP
preached the star. To the eye the fact
that Mars Is farther from the earth
than the moon was clearly evident. A
space In the distance was visible from
the moon to Mars when the two plan
cts were near each other.
White the mean distance OF Mars
from the earth Is 141,o00.000 miles.
at this time the nearest approach, II
is only about 10000, 900 miles. It's di-
ameter Is 1920 miles and. its volume
about one-slxth that OF the earth.
Astronomers say that some interest
ing observations OF Mars WIN probably
be made during the next few months,
since powerful telescopes have recent
ly been made by which the planet can
be carefully observed.
This planet has received the atten-

many II Is believed to be inhabited, ag
1t presents many phenomena OF sea-
sons similar to the earth. II is
known that the diurnal rotation period
is "a hours 81 minutes and 90 seconds.
II shines with a red light and Is a
brilliant object at about midnight. In
1877 1t was discovered that the planet
has two satellites.
Astronomers declare they have OBJ
served many evidences OF d physical
condition and indications that IL Is en-
veloped in atmosphere. Two white
patches have been observed near the
poles. which are c'earIy visible. 1t
Is generally sbelieyed that this Is an
accumulation Of sno and ice. Orange
patches are also visible, believed to be
land. Lines have recently been dis
covered on the planet which many be-
lieye is due to a system OF irrigation
established by the inhabitants.

Not Afraid Of a Ghost.

In a village in England a man
went running into an inn at
o'clock at night and cried out that
there was ghost in his back yard.
There were fourteen men in the
inn, and not one of them dared to
90 home with the man and investi-
gate. There was a person who
dared, however. and that was the
landlords daughter, a girl Of four
teen. Some Of the men followed
her at a distance. and she went into
the yard and up to the ghost, flap
ping its arms about. and discovered
mans white shirt tapping on the
clothesline in a strong breeze.
