The way of the Arctic explorer is undoubtedly bard, but it nevertheless has its consolations. A wellknown publishing house offered Commander Peary 5s 2d a word for the book which the explorer is now .engaged In writing on his expedition to the North Pole. The offer has been definitely accepted, and the price constitutes a record. It is lOd a word more than that for Mr Roosevelt’s story of his African adventures. Although Peary’s rival, Dr. Cook, has been declared a fraud, he has made a large sum of money by lecturing, and a phonograph record, which has been duplicated many times and sent broadcast over the United States, narrates to various audiences the explorer’s alleged deeds. It now transpires, the Chronicle says, that Dr. Cook received £I2OO from the phonograph company for the record. The company states that Dr. Cook, with a quick eye for business, offered his services to them for this purpose two days after his arrival at Copenhagen and mentioned bis terms as £BOO a minute. The company stipulated for four minutes only, and that is the length of the record. SLEEPLESSNESS. Sleeplessness frequently arises ifroi* the liver.
