Yellow fever spreads everywhere!
July 12, 1894
                        
 On August 12^th Yellow fever hit the most people in history. It was reported that 24 Yellow fever cases were reported today. This adds up for a total of 313 cases with over 142 of those fatal. We are experiencing one of the deadliest years of the Yellow fever. Possible causes are banana boats from foreign countries and stowaways as well as bugs from the bananas. The banana boats have had a bad reputation with the ports that they dock at and are now under a strict quarantine. The ships could not let anyone on or off the boat. The captain had to wait for port permission to let people off the boat. The head of immigration thought the Yellow fever was spread intentionally, but it is also a possibility to be an unmanageable sickness and it was classified as an accident. The doctors thought they had a cure for it but it only worked for twenty-four hours at a time.

Is Dr. Cook's achievement a fake?
 November 21, 1903                                      
 On December 21, Henry G. Bryant, president of the Philadelphia Geographical Society, changed the way fellow scientists look at Dr. Cook's achievement of journeying to the North Pole. Many people thought Dr Cook reached the North Pole but the Philadelphia Geographical Society has determined that Dr. Cook didn't reach the pole. When Bryant was asked, "What do you think about the dilemma?" he replied, "The occurrence is bound to discount American scientists abroad... and for years to come.  Whenever a scientist from this country goes abroad now he is going to experience keenly the sensation that there is a shadow of suspicion on him. You know there is more or less jealousy of us abroad, and this Dr. Cook incident will give that sentiment an opportunity to crystallize into a more or less definite attitude." Bryant was suggested that Cook had symptoms of hallucination. Most doctors and scientists know that Dr Cook did not reach the North Pole. We asked him do you think that Dr. Cook actually journeyed to the North Pole successfully? He said, "... but I cannot discuss the question as to whether or not Dr. Cook was himself deceived into believing that he had reached the pole. It would be the charitable thing to do to suppose he was deceived... I don't feel like talking about it." He walked away with attitude and it has been determined by Bryant, that Cook did not make it to the North Pole.
