DR. COOK AND THE NORTH POLE.
To set question mark, however
small, against the message from Or.
Cook. announcing that he had reach
ed the North Pole, would be to be
tray a spirit OF ungenerous and cap.
tious criticism. The conditions Of
complete isolation which must neces-
sarlly surround the man who launches
himself with two native helpers, into
that uneharted sea Of eternal silence
and frozen desolation, are such that
the waiting world to which he returns
-if he ever return--must needs ac.
cept his story of a successful quest
without expectation OF absolute veri-
flcation of disproyal. For the theoret.
ieal point which we call the North
Pole lies, as was generally supposed,
and as Dr, Cook has now proved. in
"a vast field OF eternally drifting ice.
Any monument set up by the explor-
en- at the exact axis OF the earth in
attestation of his growing triumph.
would be carried steadily down over
the dome OF the world to be ulti-
mately lost IN the more southerly
seas, or cast up with other fiotsam
and jetsam, on the northerly coasts.
In the interests of scientific aecur-
acy there will of course. be a subse-
quent verifcation. as far as II is prac-
ticable, Of the distances covered and
OF the observations of the sun taken,
during this wonderful journey; but

cause of any doubt as to the actual
presence of Dr Cook, on the twenty
first OF April, nineteen hundred and
eight at the North Pole
The man who can look Death full
Ii the face throughout all the cruel
suiferings Of a two years search for
the secret Of the frozen North. is
built upon lines too noble to admit
OF the slightest subterfuge Of misrep-
resentation and there are certain
features Of Dir. Cooks expedition, no
tably the total absence Of ostentatlon
IN the manner of his setting out,
which should at least have sealed the
lips of those who have received the
news of his success with outspoken In
credulity
Most OF the great achievements Of
science. whether in the way OF inyen-
ton or discovery. may be regarded as
the total result of the separate eff.
forts of individual men To some one
among the many it has been reserved
to win the coveted goal and have his
name written forever above its por-
tails, and he above all others realizes,
and is only too glad to acknowledge,
how greatly his success Is due to the
unrewarded labors Of his predeces-
sors. Each unsuccessful seeker for
the North Pole gathered his quota Of
valuable experience, and the facts as
thus recorded have been of priceless
value to those who came after. pr.
Cook, himself an Arctic explorer Of
no little experience. viii be the first
to acknowldge his Indebtedness TO

VALUABLE AS HONEY FINDER
Bee Cuckoo of Africa Of Great Service
to the Natives and Protected
by Them.

One OF the most sagacious OF birds
Is certainly the bee cuckoo, or moroc,
a little bird very like the English
sparrow.
1t is found in various parts OF Afri-
ca where wild bees abound, and, being
unable to help itself to the honey,
which is it's favorite food, it resorts
to human aid.
Having discovered a swarm OF bees,
1t flies to the nearest habitation, and
attracts by its cries of "Cherr, cherr,
'cherr," the attention of some OF the
natives. 1t then flies off in the direc-
ton of the most, uttering its cry and
waiting for its followers to overtake
1t. Should they be tardy 1t returns
to meet them, and seems as II trying
to urge them on to greater speed, the
natives answering it with a low whis'
tie.
Arrived at its destination, 1t Is 81
lent, waiting patiently on the Dough
of a neighboring tree while Its hu-
man friends dig out the nest, good
share of the honey on the comb con-
tanning the bee maggots. being LETT by
them for their feathered guide.

START OF THE COTTON CROP.
Consensus Of Opinion Puts About -Four
Per Cent. 40 the Reduction In
Acreage.

The New York Journal of Com.
merce, In its first monthly summary Of
the condition OF cotton, says:
This report, the first of the sea-
son, and based on the replies OF over
1900 correspondents of an average
date OF April 20, is preliminary in char.
acter, serving only to show present
tendencies. A reduction of about four
per cent. is the consensus Of Opinion,
but as planting Is only 40 per cent
completed, and the season nearly ten
lays late, final estimates are likely tc
change this figure when our June re
port is issued.
Low temperature and lack OF rain
have been the chief drawbacks thus
far, and change for the better in
the way of higher temperatures and
good rains would greatly stimulate
planting and termination of cotton al.
ready seeded Such conditions have
already appeared in some sections.
especially In Texas, since the date OF
these replies.
AS whole, ground has been well
prepared, but slight reduction In
the use of fertilizers Is shown as CON-
pared with last year, when much more
were used than usual. The high prices
OF provisions and grains have been
the chief reason for many farmers to
provide acreageto small crops and corn
at the expense of cotton, but 1t Is too
late to accurately gauge this move.
ment, The boil weevil has created
considerable alarm in Louisiana and
some parts Of Mississippi, causing rad.
zeal contemplated reductions, espe-
cially In Louisiana.
The season is is days late in Texas
and the crop is 46 per cent planted.
All other states, with the exception Of
Florida, Alabama, Tennessee and Mis-.
surf, contemplate moderate reductions.
The crop In North Carolina is three
days early and "a per cent. planted; in
South Carolina 1t is three days late
and IS per cent planted; In Georgia
six days late and 40 per cent. planted:
In Florida five days early and rs per
cent. planted; In Alabama nine days
late and 80 per cent. planted; in Mis-
sissippi three days late and 46 per
cent planted; in Louisiana seven days
late and 81 per cent. planted; in Ten
