Discovery of she origin Of the Name of
 America.

Amerigo Vespucci, the Florentine
 navigator, has usually been credited
 with conferring his name upon the
 Western world, a circumstance v-ch
 has caused no end of regret to many
 historians who argue that it should have been called Columbia in honor of the Se-called illustriouS dIscoyerer. As a matter of fact, it is fortunate that it was not so christened, for then the erroneous idea that Columbus was act ually the diScOverer would have been forever perpetuated. The researches of the present author seem to show that the claim of Vespucci is also un- founded, and that the name America was derived from the native name of Central America and the northern portions of South America, winch 1t is well known were among the very first localities visited and colonized by the Spaniards. The name was YarIsusly written by the early navlgators, who adopted what seemed to each the nearest imitation of the native word. Thus we have Amaraca, Amereeo, Ameroca, Maraca, Moraca, and finally Amerlca. To this was frequently add ed the native word "pana, which, ac- cerding to Sir Walter Raleigh, is the equivalent of country. It seems strange that these facts should have renamed 50 long in obscurity, al- though it is perhaps not less remark able than that the Morse discoveries during the tenth century should only recently begin to attract attention. These names actually occur on the maps and charts of the Spaniards, and the author has gwen a reproductlen of one of them, showing the geograph- ical knowledge available during the early part of the fifteenth century. On the whole, thus pamphlet, the sub stance of which was given by the au- thor before the American Geographi- cal Society, contains considerable in- teresting information relating to the earlier history of the AmerIcas.-Pub- lie Opinion.

Fifteen Hlle Guns.

Some important experiments have been made at ths Shoeburyness school of gunnery in high-agle firing. A London correspondent writes: Proba- ply no step of recent years is likely to lead te greater results, for if the ex- pertinent should be repeated with the same success, it is undeniable that war ships will have to be as fully protect ed on their decks as they HOW are on their broadsides. The experiments were made with the 9-inch or 23-cen- timeter gun used as a howitzer. An elevation of 37 degrees was given and battering charges were used with Pal liSer shells. Out of four shots three fell within space of 500 feet by 80 feet, representing the deck of first class lronclad, and the range attained was 12 miles! Now, if it be really possible, three times out of four, or for that matter once out of four times, to throw 9-inch shell upon the deck of ship in midchannel between Do- yer and Calais, another proof will have been given that in the tedious duel between gun and armer the gun has much the best of It. What is very important, too, is that the heavy charges and the high angle did not strain either gun or carnage in the least, and one of the officers present has said that he believed the gun would stand 45 degrees of elevation without injury, while with 42 degrees d range of 15 miles would be secured. Now, at 15 miles, a ship is null down, so It comes to this, that we can throw 9-inch shell on to the deck of a ship before we can sec it! Surely this is the most marvellous thing yet attempted in gunnery, winch of later years has been so fruitful in surprises. A. & N. Register.

The Papal EXcheGUer.
[Brnssels Courier.l


 The annual expenses of the Papacy are said to amount to about 100000 francs. The burden is substantially met by the Peter's penny, "which was originally" observes the Courier, ian English idea. But in 1861, after the twenty provinces of the Papal States had been reduced to five, the Peters penny was quickened inte new life in Belgium" The first indictment to the generous endowment of tho Papacy by the freewll offerings of the faith ful, rich and poor, was given by the diocese of Ghent. Its example was quickly followed in other lands. Un- til the year 1870 the average yaarly result of the Peter's penny was 7,117,- GOO francs. Since that date it has constituted the sole income of the Pope, and in no single year has been lower than 6,OO0,000 francs. During the present Jubilee year the Bishops of Latin Christendom have handed in tO the Pope the extraordinary sum of 32,500,OOO francs. The Jubilee mass of Lee. XIII. brought nearly 3,000,000 francs. The papal treasury is cense- quently in a good condition. The Work for the Extension of the Faith" founded at Lyons in 1922, provides the Papacy with a fund for missions; it has contributed from 1922 to 1887 no less a sum than 220,000,000 francs. Its contribution for the last twelve months amounted to 6,648,000, of which Germany contributed only 409,OOO francs and Austria only 80,000 francs, as the reporter observes with regret.

A Little More Consistency Gentlemen.

One of the recent conferences of ministerial sort passed a resolution denouncing the licensing of liquors, whether the license be high or low, and cendemning any clergyman who should in any way indorse or ancOur- age the license system. The Globe Democrat says; Very well, so far, if such sentiments were conscientious. But the same body ot ministers forth with voted down and out a resolution condemning the use of tobacco. Req son why, most of the brethren voting like the weed, and uso it, but they do net like the beer, and have not te make any sacrifice to let it alone. But is that the way to do up your business, gentlemen? In the good book from which you preach there IS a resolution that reads, T will eat no meat, if it mak%J' brother to offend" Don't get ings mixsd What is wanted is a litfNA self-sacrifce, and fewer bur dens laid on other people.

4 gentleman speaking of the stale vsrbiage in the speeches of prominent men at the St. Louis convention, and their lack of originality says: I read all the speeches made at the ConYen- ton, and still survive. came out of the ordeal with a higher opinien than ever of the chestnut as 8 part of ora tory. The most conspicuous chest nuts were from the rock-bound coast of Maine to the golden slopes of the Pacific" and after that came "the dawning of a better day" and old "raw materials" was worked to death. The "uncrowned queer" came in nat urally. It was 1 suppose natural that the speakers should have recourse to the same ideas and expressions when there was such a paueity of subjects to dwell upon, but it seemed peculiar that the speakers who delivered them selves late during the proceedings should not have avoided the repetition of the words used by their predeces- sors. It was very evident that few of them deviated in any manner from their speeches written before the Con Ysntien assembled.

The National Druggist gives the following amusing specimens as fair samples of everyday experience:
 "Send me some of your essence to put people to sleep with when they cut their fingers of. I want some thing to take tobacco out of my mouth. Send me baby's top to nursing bot tie. Something for a sore baby's eye. Enough lpeeac to throw up girl four years old. Enough aniss seed to take the twist att cf dose of sepna. Something for woman with bad cough and cannot cough. Something, 1 forgot the name, but It Is for cure for a swelled woman's foot. For a man with dry spit on him. For a weman whose appetite is loose on her." "

"Poor Mr. DonnellyI' says the Lon don Morning Post. "He came to En- gland with great expectations, and it was thought that after so much adver- tisement his Great Cryptogram' would sell by thousands; whereas all interest seemed to have exhausted itself just as tho book was ready. It has been in the bookshops for ssme days now, but there it seems likely to remain. One of the largest of London booksellers pathetically assures me that he has not sold single copy. Even the Ba- con SocIety cannot altogether swallow the cipher, so it is probable that MT. Donnelly will return to America a saddsr If not 6 wiser man. One ob
 vions reason for the sudden diminu- ton of interest in NIT. DOnnelly'g book immediately upon its appearance is the absence of novelty in the first vol ume and of lucidity III the second.

"A Tariff Powwow," in Demorest's Monthly Magazine for July, should be read by every woman. This is the first time we have seen this knotty subject treated in such an interesting and simple manner. in the same number is told Beautifully illustra- ted) how seven women camped out all summer and had a glorious tune; and further on "The Language of the Hand is explained, so that one can amuse ones self and friends by read ing their palms. Nursing, Nurses, and Training-schools" glves informa- ton that all are seeking; and "How to Set the Table on 20 Cents a Day per person, " is "hard- time" article, very appropriate just at present. In fact, Damorest always seems to know just what the people want, and gives it to them. The public, at least the women public, will want the beauti- fully executed water-coler picture in this number, "A Bunch of Pansies;" and We predict an immense sale, for 1t would be hard to produce a more beautiful and interesting magazine.

Our population, which has passed sixty millions. Is increasing as rapidly as our wisest economists desire. Our agricultural and manufacturing in- terests are as fourishing as they have ever been before, when their prosper ity has rested upon a solid and conser- vative basis.
