tion disclosed that the head and
limbs had been severed by a sharp m
strument. The care with which the

physician or student who had been us-
ing the BODY for experimental pur-
poses. The sack was weighed with

Commander Peary made accurate and
comparative observations on his dash
to the north pole, French scientists
are already acclaiming him as the real
discoverer of the pole. 1t is conced-
ed that Cook may have reached the
pole first bit his discovery will be OF
little value to the scientific world.
There is absolutely no disposition in

Pearx or cook.

LONDON, Sept. 7.-Peary's discov-
cry of the pole puts 1t up to DR.. Cook
to substantiate his claims immediate
ly or become discredited, according
to DR.. H. r. MIL England's foremost
writer on arctic matters, himself an
explorer and director of the British
rainfall association. He says DR..
Cook speaks as though the forthcom-
ing book he will publish will satisfy
the most conscientious critic. II
don't think I will be able to accept
this book as entire proof. must see
his daily observation records. No
man can fake with sufficient clever
ness and deceive the society. fail
to understand why Cook parted with
his record. An explorer would sooner
part with his food and clothes than
to give UP the fruit of his explora-
ton. 1t is inconceivable that he
would have entrusted his records to
anyone There is nothing surprising
that Cook left the Peary esquimos as
esquimos never wander far from their
camp in the winter time

Cook to Get Medal.


COPENHAGEN, Sept. Cook con-
tends that Peary's success proves that
he, himself is claiming nothing I'M
possible when he says he discovered
the pole. He hopes that Peary found
the evidence left by him, but admits
there is little chance of this, owing
to the ice drift 1t is unlikely that
the two men reached the earth's axis
at anywhere near the same spot, as
Cook says the axis is a more or less
general term and extends for several
miles. The Danish scientists are
militantly supporting DR.. Cook and
are rejoicing that he beat Peary. The
latter is unpopular here owing to his
scientific disputes. Crown Prince
Christian has agreed to present the
/, Geographical societies medal to DR.
Cook at the affair arranged in the ex
plorers' honor tonight.
