a number of other men were pushing
one of the coaches thru the door, Mr.

themselves with the material submitted
and in this way reached the conclu-
sion that VI was absolutely worthless
for deciding the question as to whether
DR.. Cook had reached the north pole,
the chairman called meeting for FRI
day, Dec. II, for the purpose Of pre-
pairing a report to the university.
"To this meeting Mr.. Lonsdale was
invited to be present and to answer
some questions. He brought with him
on this occasion letter from Dr. Cook
in his own handwriting, upon which
there was neither the place nor the
date of writing, but on the envelope
was stamped 'Marseilles, Dec. IA, 1907
In the same (opened) envelope there
was letter from DR.. Cook to the then
rector Professor Torp, dated New
York, Sept. 81, 1909.
"In his letter DR.. Cook stated that
not only his instruments, as he had
announced in his telegram to the uni
versity of Oct %, 1900, but also the
| most of his astronomical observa tions,
had been left behind at Etah and that
without these it seems unwise and inn
possible to pass final judgment upon
| his journey.
IN consequence OF the conditions
just stated the commission gives as
the results of it's examination of the
material submitted the following as its
convictions:
"The report of the expedition re-
ferred to under 1 is essentially the
same that was published during Sep
tember and October of this year in the
| New York Herald
''The copy of the, notebooks referred
to under contains no original astron-
omical observations whatsoever, but
only results.
"The data in the documents submit
ted to US are of such an unsatisfactory
character that it is not possible to de-
clare with certainty that the astro-
nomical observations referred to were
actually made; there are likewise lack
ing details in practical matters, such as
sledge journeys, which could furnish
some control. The commission is
therefore of opinion that the material
transmitted for examination contains
no proof whatsoever that DR.. Cook
reached the north pole.

REMARKABLE SKIN GRATING.

Burned Three Years Ago. Recovering.
Dubuque, Jan 1O.-A remarkable
cure is that effected in the case of Sis
ter Mary Carmelita member of the
order of charity at Mt Carmel in this
city. Three years ago while engaged
in vanishing the floors Sister Carme-
lita was the victim of a terrible burn
ing the fames originating from spon-
taneous combustion. Two-thirds of her
body was scarifed, the skin having
been entirely consumed For nearly
three years the sister lay upon her bed,
and it was believed she would never
again walk
New skin was the long chance she
had for recovery, and the outlook
seemed hopeless. Fifteen members of
the order, friends of the afflicted one,
came forward and volunteered their
skin, undergoing the operation pre-
liminary to the grating process that
meant so much to their friend The
process represented three distinct ope-
rations for Sister Carmeilta. She pass
ed thru them with Spartan fortitude
and last week for the first time in
three years she took her first steps.
The recovery is one of the most re-
markable in the history of skin graft
ing operations.
