Method Used by Dr.. Cook

Professor Charles L. Doolittle, Director
OF the Flower Observatory of the Uni
vcrsity of Pennsylvania. gave the fol-
lowing simple explanation Of the
means used by the explorer to convince

"The important part of his observa-
/ tions was made with a little instru-
ment called a seNtant" said the pro-
fessor II guess everybody has at

two ways Of taking observations One
by the sun and the other by the stars.

on the instrument would show the
