POOR COOK HAS

New York, Jan. 6.-Dr. Cooks
fake, if fake he did, wasn't such a
fat thing for his pocketbook as some
people figure.
They insist that the doctor. in fact.
only picked up measly $4,000
from his newspaper writings and
the lectures he delivered in twenty
four cities right off the bat on his
return to America. And whole lot
of that 100000 went glimmering on
various ordinary expenses that bob
bed up before the explorer disap-
peared into the cleaning.
For instance. the suite of rooms
which he held at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel is in the $30-a-day class. He
occupied this suite for four weeks.
which meant an expense of about
$40.
The third day he was in New York
he took Mrs Cook to Tiffany's store
anu SAtChoA'C qua IA
jewelry for her, and the new white
satin gown in which she appeared at
the Cook banquet was costly piece
of work Among other expenses was
$500 for sending a newspaper man
to Montana to investigate the stories
that Barrill, the Mount Mckinley
guide, was being offered sums Of
money to declare that Cook was a
faker. Cook also retained H. We'll
lington Wack, an attorney, and to
his secretary, Walter Lonsdale, he
paid large salary. 1t is probable
that Dr. Cooks first two weeks in
this country cost him $4,000. This
expense was met by the proceeds Of
his first New York lecture, which
Melted him about $4,000
To hear his friends tell it, it was
no easy matter to get DR.. Cook to
take the lecture platform.

Pinho!es In Bronze.

An excess Of phosphorus in bronze
causes pinholes in the casting. The
ideal condition in the use of phosphor-
us is when just the right amount is
added to the bronze to remove the OK
ide present in it. and small quantity
only is needed for this purpose. Owing
to the fact that the quantity Of oxide
in copper or bronze is always variable.
depending upon the manner of melt
