SCIENTIFIC DOCBT. NOT "CALTWNI."
If. Dr. Cook is correctly reported in dis
patch 10 the Paris 'AIatin' II is to he feared
that the doubts which have been expressed re-
garding his success have been misinterpreted
In treating them as "calumnies'' he assumes
an unfortunate attitude There is neither dis
courtesy nor injustice in insisting that the bur
den of proof rests Dr. Cook, not on those
who have hesitated to accept his story The
rule applies not to him alone but to every one
who makes au extraordinary statement The
world not fully convinced that Nansen nc
compshed all he clained until the record Of
his observations was printed and had hcon criti-
cally examined Even then n suspicion was on
teTtained by q few experts that the diStin-
Erished Norwegian had not made q correct
allowance for atmospheric rcfraction. and that
an error of several miles had crept into his
calculations.
The Danish government is said to have con
suited coufidentially n few Arctic explorers re
siding in Copenhagen as to the credibilitv of Dr.
Cooks narrative before hestowinc conspicuous
hOnorS Oh the American, and their opinion
seems 10 have Influenced the authorities Ac-
cording 10 q press dispatch printed yesterday.
these experts based their judgment primarily
"on knowledge of pr. Cook $ character and for
"mer achievements" Apparently there WAS no
examination Of the record of his Astronomical
observations, for he had not yet come ashore.
and even after his arrival it docs not appear
that there was any opportunity for such scru-
tiny. The favorable verdict therefore, was ron
dered with an incomplete knowledge of the
facts.
DR., Cook is reported to ave said that while
he wss II the Antarctic regions. acting as the
photographer Of the Belcica, other officers made
the astronomical observations for the determi-
nation Of latitude His experience with that
class OF work, therefore, has been limited to
the last two years. and he does not himself
speak Convincinglv Of his skill. He seems to
recognize that latitude calculations are heset
with peculiar difficulties in the polar regions
Owing 10 the low angle at which the sun must
there be observed. the illusion concerning alti-
tude, due TO atmospheric refractlon, must be
greater than along the transatlantic steamship
routes and it is harder TO say what corrections
are demanded. These circumstances empha-
size the desirability of submitting DIR Cooks
data TO the scrutiny of persons able to Judge
of the accuracy of his Computat ations and conclu-
sions The testimony which those who know
him well offer concerning his character and the
statements which have been made by Mfr. Brad
ley about the adequacy OF DR. Cooks prepara-
tions are strong arguments in favor of believ-
ing that the Brooklyn explorer really discovered
the pole. To complete the arch on which public
confidence may securely rest il is only necessary
to have the opinion Of properly qualified per
sons regarding DR.. Cooks astronomical record
He owes it 10 the world TO secure this as soon
as possible.

AGAINST WARLIRE ARMS

An order which the President of Cuba has
just issued against the importation of warlike
arms and munitions is highly commendable as
prudential measure for the protection of the
peace and general welfare Of the Cuban Re-
public and slsO is suggestive of logical and
appropriate means for guarding against insur-
rections and revolutions in other lands The
order Is 10 the effect that firearms suitable for
military use shall hereafter be imported only at
certain designated places and under special
license, and shall be sold only in limited nun
bers and 10 persons whose names are duly re-
ported 10 the government. It is notorious that
hitherto the essential preliminary Of every
revolution has been the Importation Of lot
Of cheap rifles and cartridges generally from
the United Ststes for distribution among pa
trlots who had taste for looted pigs or stolen
chickens, and tie revolution has lasted until
the cartridges were all exploded or tho rifles
burst
There can be no legitimate objection to such
80 order It is 10 Infringement Of the proper
rights and privileges of the people The only
purpose there can he in importing military rifles
Is that Of war which only the government has
the right to wage. or individual manslauShter
which IS a crime. Men do not want Springfield
rifles for snpe shooting, and for purposes of
protection against marauders. if anything of the
rifles. 1t has long been recognized here as right
10 forbid the common carrying Of pistols on
the ground that he prcsumptive use OF such
Il weapon WAS TO kill or. at lcust shoot man
so the very possession Of military arms, except
under government license and supervision may
bc forbidden on the ground that their only
probable use is one which is unlawful.
II would be a good thing TO have a similar
rule adopted and enforced in various other
countries which are too often subject TO artifi-
cial revolutions" First there comes to New
York surrcptitiously Il stormy petrol of poll
tics and purchases a job lot of rifles and am-
muntion, which he secretly ships to his coun-
try. these things are distributed and then there
is an uprising Of patriots" For many years
civilized nations have agreed not TO permit the
sal" Of firearms or intoxicating liquors to
natives of Africa, and that agreement is ap-
proved by principles Of humanity. # in some
way military weapons could generally be kept
under the control of governments responsible
FOR military operations the result would be
salutary There is no more reason why every
man should he a potential insurgcnt than a
potential murderer

that truth IS stranger than fiction 10 cause
