Traveller Tells Washington Audience
Of His Trip to the North Pole.--
ls Frequently Interrupted by
Enthusiastic Cheers.

Washington, d. Cdr. Frederick
A. Cook, the Arctic explorer, an
nounced shortly after his arrival from
New York to deliver his lecture, that
he will acquiesce in the proposition
that the University of Copenhagen be
asked to waive its claim to prior
examination of his records, in order
that American geographic societies
and other scientific bodies in this
country may be enabled to review his
data. He said he would be satisfied to
have the decisions of all these tri-
bunals announced simultaneously.
DR.. Cooks lecture which occupied
about an hour in delivery, was fire.
quently interrupted by cheering. He
deviated but slightly from his pre-
vious utterances, in describing his
dash to the pole, and sought to con-
fine himself more to his travels and
experiences, than to a discussion Of
criticisms aimed at him. Prefacing
his remarks the explorer asserted that
while he was glad to have discovered
the pole and was glad also to have re-
turned to tell the world about it, that
he had endeavored to make it plain
that his was a private expedition and
not one backed by the government or
by polar trust" His only reference
to Commander Peary was in lauding
the bravery of nearly dozen expdor-
ers whom he named, and this evoked
loud cheering.
Guest of Preso Club.
At the close of the lecture DR.. Cook
was the guest Of the National Press
club. He met personally the news
paper men of Washington and scores
of others prominent in the official life
of the capitol
DR.. Cook entered enthusiastically
into the good fellowship Of the occas-
sion, and appeared to enjoy the pro.
gram which had been arranged in his
honor. This included several Eskimo
songs by the clubs talent.
When DR.. Cook was introduced to
DR.. Wiley, the later at once began to
ply the explorer with questions.
"Now, want you to tell me what
'pemmican" is" demanded DR.. Wiley
who appeared more interested in
what the explorer had to eat on his
polar dash than in the discovery OF
the pole.
DR.. Cook explained that "pemmi
can" consisted of stripes of meat with
out the fat, dried in the sun and
| pounded together with melted fat anC
often dried vegetables. DR.. Wiley
shook his head and said:
"Well, if that's the case, I guess

Novel Street. Liahtinu.

The quantity Of light which 1t is
now possible to obtain at a reason
able cost from tungsten lamps In Sc
ries has led to an innovation In street
lighting In some Michigan towns
which. It is thought, may find wide
adoption. In Grand Rapids. where the
system seems first to have been ap-
piled, the tungsten lamps are strung
across the street between the caves
OF the buildings In such a way that
they form the outline OF an arch. The
effect OF a series Of these Illuminated
arches at night resembles that Of q
canopy of lamps covering the street
and shedding down upon 1t a pleasing
Illumination. The same system has
been adopted in Big Rapids and is un-
der consideration In Greenville and
other towns.

Did His Best.

A Baltimore man was recently
showing his nice new opera hat to
his little nephew, and when he
caused the top piece to spring open
three or four times the youngster
was delighted.
A few days thereafter the uncle,
during a visit to the same house
hold, brought with him a silk hat
of the shiny, nOncollapsible kind.
When he was about to leave the
house he encountered the aforesaid
youngster running down the hall
with what looked like a black ac-
Gordon.
"Uncle Ed" observed the boy,
''this one goes awfully hard. l had
to sit on it, but even then l couldn't
get it more than half shut"
