continues widening for good.

at Of the ships compass was discovered

made since that time.
November IS. 1897. the Cape tf
Good Hope was discovered, and then
was opened to EOropean commerce a
waterway TO the treasures of the ORR
ent. Previous to that date, trade be-
tween the sastand west was done by
the slow and often painful progress of
the caravan.
November 26, l77s, the Sandwich
Islands were discovered, and this has

A dispatch TO the Associated Press
says: At midnight last night, when
one shift Of men at the Anaconda
