CAUSE OF ANDERSONVILLE MORTALITY
Or II. r. Harris Claims the Hook.
worm Disease Killed Many.


Atlanta, Ga.-That the excessive
mortality at the confederate military
prison at Andersonville, Ca, Was due
to the hookworm disease, a. cause
not at that time known or ANnder,
stood, Is the belief of DIR. H. f. Mar
ris, secretary Of Georgia's stSSte
board Of health. This theory was
first advanced by ID. w, f. Arnold,
United States navy, retired.
While he has had decided opinions
OF his own upon the subject for some
time, DIR. Harris has withheld them
in the absence of conflrmatory inves.
tigation, which has recently been
forthcoming; and these inquiries and
examinations by official and ,on.offi.
cial medical men have led Il EN- to
the same conclusion
The present prolific existence OF
the hoekworm at and around Andnr-
aonville, has been established beyond
all question. The hookworm was
probably brought to America from
Africa by the negroes brought here
AS slaves, and here it has continued
90 thrive and to multiply.
That conditions for the rapid prop
Rgation Of the hookworm and its sue
eessful entrance into the body Of those
exposed to the ground, in rapidly null
dplying numbers, were oil present at
Andersonville at the time the con-
sederate prison was maintained there.
investigation has established almost
beyond any reasonable doubt.
Badly clothed and poorly fed be-
cause conditions made ii impossible
10 do more than was done, the pris.
cners we're constantly exposed to the
ground upon which they walked with
bare feet and upon which they slept.
and DR.. Harris and the other medi-
cal authorities who have examined
into this question do not hesitate to
express the belief, which, with them,
approximates a feAling Of certainty
that the hookworm disease got in
there its deadly work.
Additional weight is given this view
from the fact that the mortality
among the guards who We're fed and
clothed just about the same as feder-
al prisoners, was in almost every re-
spect similar to that among the pris.
oners themselves.
Something like $4,000 persons died
at Andersonyille during the war, and
the records show that there was
prOportionate mortality among the
federal prisoners and their confeder-
ate guards.

When the nation was first thrilled
by the news of Cooks exploit, he
said he must confess there was some
skepticism but afterward it was con-
firmed and he hoped that Cook would
try for the South Pole with the same
success.
When the minister raised his glass
to "Our Noble Guest" there were nine
hurrahs.
Commodore Hovgaard spoke from
the standpoint of an expert explorer
and commended Cooks methods.

words, but Tam unable to express my
self properly. 1t was rather hard
day for me, but l never enjoyed day
better. The Danes have taken no. &C
tive part in the exploit but they have
been of much Importance as silent
partners in almost all Arctic expedi'
tions in recent years. The most i'm
portant factor in my expedition was
the Eskimo and dog world and
cannot be too thankful to the Danes
for their care of the Eskimo, and now
they also have instituted a mission
at Cape York. Had I not met with
the right Eskimos and the right dogs
and the right provisions I could never
have reached the Pole. I owe much

it is never finished. Like cucumber
vine. says writer in Popular Me
chanics, the instant 1t ceases to grow
it begins to wither There must be
continuous expansion and enlargement.
Larger cars require more powerful To-
comotives. and both In turn call for
heavier rails, bigger roundhouses,
stronger bridges. longer platforms and
sidings. increased safety devices, while
the Strengthening Of curves and the
leveling of grades come in for their
share of attention on even the oldest
roads. Little wonder, then, with our
railroads consuming nearly one hall Of
all our manufactured steel and iron
and fully one-half of all the lumber
made each year, that they are the I'M

Questioned regarding his great
speed, Cook said:
1.-THE daily distance covered on the
northwest trip was slightly less than
fifteen miles. On the southwest trip
it was ten miles. This is not an alb
normal distance for eskimous on ice
They often travel fifty or sixty miles
with dogs. One of the greatest adj
vantages of our trip was that | did
not take famine route. We had
game for long time, for hundreds
of miles. We fed the dogs well
throughout the winter in Greenland:
and ran them four hundred miles,
giving them fresh meat every day.
Thus we got them to the polar sea
fat and we'll. We had the best men
and the best dogs.
1--WE lived entirely on dried meat
and beef tallow reducing the food
problem to a science. The last trace
of animal we saw was bear tracks at
SO degrees. : Afterwards We did not
even see life in water except a Lgae
The drift of ice during the entire
southern trip was slightly south OF
east, the direction of the wind was
generally south of west.
"The reason we utilized silk tents
on some occasions was that we were
SO exposed that we had not strength
to build snow shed. We had care
fully and figured and planned every
thing so that there was no surplus
weight to carry. We did not run
short except when We went astray.
During the expedition we had
plenty of meat. I like musk OK but we
would eat bear or fox if the other was
not obtainable. Everything tastes
good when one is starving. We brot
ten. dogs back with us. the others
having been eaten by their compan'

and arrows to catch game. It took two
months to learn how to trap moose.
One of the men shot a DEER buck"
DR.. Cook concluded his observations
with a reference to how he had been
treated by the king, who was greatly
interested in his adventures. He
stated that he is going to New York
as soon as possible. He will remain
here for few days and then will
