Danish polar experts that the Ilrst message announcing his success In reaching the North Pole, meager as It was, was accepted as conclusive Commodore Hovgaard said: "I believe the message Is truo be cause Dr Cook Is most trustworthy and opposed to all exaggeration." C. A. Nielsen, an orticlnl of tho Croon land administration department, who is well acquainted with Dr. Cook, and was associated with him in Green land, said: "When Dr. Cook says that ho reach ed the North Polo there can bo no doubt about it. ills scientific dis coveries will prove that."

White Steamers Use Kerosene as Fuel TIIC WHITE STEAMER WHICH ij iui,i 'I no most Interesting announce ment ever mnile In connection with the automobile Industry was un doubtedly that made a month or two ago lo the effect that the now models of tho Whlto Steam Cars could bo run on keroseno, or coal oil, instead of gasoline. Kveryono at once recog nized that tho uso of the now fool would add materially to the advan tages which tho Whlto a'ready pos sessed over othor types of cars. There wero some people, however, who wero sceptical as to whether or not tho new fuel could be used with complete success, and, therefore, tho mnkers of the White Car, tho Whlto Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter mined to mako a public demonstra tion of tho new fuel in tho 1909 Gild den Tour. From tho standpoint of tho public, no test moro satisfactory could havo been selected. First of all, tho dis tance covered on tho Glldden Tour, from Detroit to Denver and thence to Kansns City, was 2G50 miles. This was certainly more than sufficient to bring out any weaknesses, if such had existed. Still moro important was the fact that tho car was at all times whllo on tho road tinder tho supervi sion of observers named by thoso who entered other contesting cars. Therefore, It would have been impos sible for tho driver of tho Whito to havo even tightened a bolt without tho fact being noted and a penalty in flicted. At night tho cars were guarded by Plnkorton dotectlves and could not bo approached by any ono.
