How Dr.. Cook Knew when he Reach.
cd the Pole.

cd the Pole.
Charlotte Chronicle.
How did Dr. Cook know when
he had reached the North Pole?
This question has doubtless pre-
sented itself to the minds of ma
ny OF our readers, and we are in
debted to the Charleston News
and Courier for an explanation
which the lay mind can under.
stand. 1t is, OF course, that Inper
says, merely n question OF lati-
tude and longitude. At the geo.
graphical pole there is no lonei.
tude, that is, al the parallels
pass through the Pole, and it
has all longitude or no longi-
tude is 90 degrees north. In still
another sense there il no Iong,.
tude for there is none needed to
determine the exact location of
the North Pole. There is but one
point In the world that is 90 de-
lrees north latitude. Move. in
any direction from the point and
you necessarily approach the
equator: that is, you are nolong
er 80 degrees north. In fact, it is
an old saying that q ship which
needs only its latitude to deter.
mine it's position is at either the
North Pole or the South Pole.
Even 80, it would have been
quite possible Tor DR.. Cook to de.
termine that he was at longitude
zero, not by the ordinary ship
method which makes use of the
chrome meter in conjunction with
the rising OF the sun, but by OBJ
servations OF the satellite OF Jupi-
ter-a more scientific and accu-
rate method. 1t is certain, there
fore, that no mistake in ralcula.
tions has deluded DR.. Cook into
believing that he has made a dis
covery which he has not made.

'Don't Die On Third"

Lexington Dlspatch,
A few days ago a player on
the Detroit base ball team, in
the eleventh hour. made a brill
iant dash from third l'ase home,
and scored by the fraction OF a
second, turning defeat into vic.
tory. 1t was one OF those plays
that makes the hair stand up on
the head and thrills like aSur-
rent OF electricity. Inspired by it,
The Detroit News published the
following editorial, and it has
heen copied from ocean to ocean
and scattered broadcast over
the nation in pamphlet form:
"All the world is a baseball
diamond. You are one of the
players. Perhaps you have reach
ed first by your own effort. 1t

Then on some ones long fly in
to the business wOrld-.a fly that
was not long enough to prevent

the rules of simple morality and
square dealing you have advanc-
ed to third. The opposition a.
gainst you at third is stronger
than at either first or second. At
third you are to be reckoned

of the popular methods adopted
is that OF fumes, OF which there

The Polar War.

Nashaville Banner. "A
The6ght for the credit OF the
discovery Of the North Pole is on.
Peary has flung down the gaunt-
let and issued his chall4nge. His
dispatch in answer to the inqui.
ry of the Associated Press, is in
substance q denial OF the truth
of DR.. Cooks claims. He says:
Cooks story shouldnot be ia.
ken too seriously" and then de-
clares that the two ,Eskimos who
accompanied Cook say she went
no distance north and not ont Of
sight OF land,' adding that this
story OF the Eskimos is corrobo.
rated by other members OF the
tribe.
On the other hand, DR.. Cook,
with much less show of i'll tem-
per and jealousy, rather mildly
denies the asseverations OF Pea.
ry and insists that he has sufti.
lcient proof to submit in substan-
tlation of his claim. In reply to
Peras declaration that the two
Eskimos who accompanied Cook
have contradicted him, DR.. Cook
says he. has sent the explorer
Sverdrup to find. the Esklmos
aud bring them to civilization to
give their testimony.
AS the matter now stands,
without the coroborating EVIL
deuce to sustain the conflicting
claims made by Peary and Cook,
it is Il question OF veracity be-
tween the two explorers. The
friends Of peary insist that his
character is such he must be be-
lieved, and the friends of Cook
make the same assertion in his
behalf. With this contradiction
before the world. final judgment
must be held in abeyance until
all the available evidence h q S
been presented and fairly consid'
cred.
1t is to I've noted that Peary de.
MES Cook he credit of reaching
the Pole, while Cook is willing to
admit that Peary has gained The
|goal, but denies that he was the
first to reach it If both me1
reached tile Pole, it. is evident
that Cook was the first to sue
ceed. II Cook didnot reach tlt
Pole then Peary is entitled to the
honor as the discoverer. Unit
Cooks claim has been satisfacto
rily disproved, he is certainly ell
titled to fair consideration. If il
be difficult to prove by charts
and recorded observations t h
fact that the pole has actual.
been reached, Peary may be em
barrassed as we'll as Cook. Mean
while the world Is disposed t.
give them both credit until th
grounds for discrediting eithe
have been made sufficiently GER
tain.
1t is questionable whether tn
testimony of Eskimos ls to b'
given much weight. The Eskimo
can hardly be- considered a relia
BILE witness, first, because of hi
. ignorance of all that is inyolve'
in scientific exploration and ais
becauee he may be easily infu
enced by one side or the other tt
say what is required oI him. Th
convincing evidence must com
from the explorers themselves
tested by the close examination
of scientists. 1t is q pity that in g.
O1 notable an achievement that
}. claimed there should arise. O cor
d troversy that may tend to pei
!. sonal detraction.
Let us hope that after all bot
explorers have won deserve
fame, that cannot be questioned
and that their achievements, b,
a strange coincidence, will b

double triumph, rejecting hor
