strangers, who they supposed had
descended in their winged banks from
the skies.
The caravcls had fulfilled their mis-
sion. Humble instruments that they
were, they had enabled the great navi-
gator to confirm what was then
deemed his extravagant theory of a
new route to India.
Such, in brief, is the story of the
caravels. In modest way the United
States government has sought to do
them honor, and their port of departure
has not been forgotten. They, together
with the great admiral, as well as the
humble sailor whose good fortune it
1t was to be the first to see the land Of
Western World, have all been remein-
bered, and their names perpetuated in
the United States navy list.
A fine line of battle ship of eighty
guns, launched from the Washington
navy yard in 1919, was christened
Columbus. She was burnt at Norfolk
in '6l.
The st. Mary's twenty guns), named
after the Santa Maria, was launced
from the Washington navy yard in
1874, and is now the school ship of
New York city. The Pinta, gun-boat,
is at Sitka, Alaska. The Nina, tug
boat, is on special service. The Palos,
gun-boat, is on the Asiatic station.
The Triana, tug, recently wrecked,
was named after the poor sailor who
missed the pension, but who, let us
hope, received the velvet doublet.

The structure has all the fittings that
belong to the actual ship, such as
guns, turrets, torpedo tubes, torpedo

appliances for working the same. OH
GERS, seamen, mechanics and marines

however, AS great as the compliments
OF the actual ship. The crew gives
certain drills. especially boat, torpedo
and gun drills, as in vessel OF war.
The dimensions of the structure are

At the forward end Of the super

called the "military mast" near the
top of which are placed two circular
"tops' as rcceptaclcs for sharpshoot-

in each of these tops. The height from
the water line to the summit OF this

The battery mounted comprises four

gators nipple christian piety he knelt
and kissed the virgin soil. Then
turning to those brave men who had
come with him across the unknown
sea, he said. 1T is not we who have
discovered, but God who has given this
land to the oppressed" Then they
sang the TIE Deum, a song of praise.
Thus the travail of the ages was to
produce man, and the incessant work
of man has been to discover or devise a
form of government best adapted to
his necessities and development. 1t Is
our boast that the American Constitu-
ton is the grandest product of human
wisdom known to history. When
Gladstone pronounced it ''the most
wonderful work struck off at a given
time by the brain and purpose of man."
he paid fitting eulogy to its trainers.
When that constitution was adopted not
many of the statesmen in the old world
belived that it would survive the eight
zenith century. The shores of time
have been strewn with the wrecks of
nations. Few are the dynasties
that have endured one hundred
years with so little change, except
in the way of development, as has
been experienced in the United States
since the adoption of the constitution.
Looking back upon the long century
we see that the thirteen small colonies
of England that bivouacked along the
shores of the Atlantic have become a
mighty family of independent States,
stretching from ocean to ocean, and
from the line of the st. Lawrence to
the Gulf of Mexico. The colonial pop
ulation of 1000, 900 has been increased
to 62,0OO,O0O The republic is no
longer an experiment. 1t has with
strife. The development of national
wealth has been beyond parallel. Ag-
riculture, manufactures, commerce, in
dustry, have grown to stupendous pro-
portions.
In 1900 railroads and telegraphs
steam navigation and lightning COM
munication were unknown. Public
libraries had not been instituted, and
the yearly almanac supplied the want
of the daily newspaper. The nine
teenth century will cover the grandest
achievements in science, if not in art
and literature, that the world has ever
known. Even the last half century
has produced, in America, the greatest
IL bor-saving inventions of civilization
the mower and reaper, the sewing
machine, the rotary printing press, the
horseshoe machine, the grain elevator,
the telephone, the electric magnet.
Scores of cities have sprung up. dot
ting the face of the country, and be-
coming magnificent centers of bust
ness within a score of years. What
will the twentieth century see? The
Worlds Columbian exposition may an
swer the question in part. 1t will in
all its grandness of conception tell us
what our posterity will see one hun
dred years hence, whether the consti-
tuition will still live, whether progress
is perpetual.

COLUMBUS WIFE
The Woman Whom He Loved tn,
Daughter OF u Navigator.

Laws like those which in chemistry
govern the affinity of combining atoms
in social intercourse produce personal
affinities. The greatest of all discov-
erers was himself destined TO wed the
daughter of a discoverer. Columbus
often went to mass on Sundays and
other obligatory days. His residence
in Lisbon being near the convent Of
All Saints, he resorted thither to per-
form his devotions, and in his assidu-
GUS attendance there it was his fate to
be attracted by Dona Felipa Muniz
until he sought and obtained her in
marriage.
The affection of Columbus for the
young Lusitanian doubtless possessed
practical features also, in view of the
sailors desire TO live for the realization
in his ripper age Of the work already
fully planned in the latter years of his
eXuberant youth. Moreover, crediting
his contemporaries as we should, the
incompatible pilot displayed two traits
capable of turning the head, will not
say of Dona Fclipa Muniz, but of every
woman--eloqucnce and personal at
Effectiveness.
His many graccs captivated her
sense, his eloquence her mind. Felipa
Muniz and Christopher Columbus were
made one, in conformity with religion
and law, in holy indissoluble wedlock.
The year after their union son was
born to them, who was baptized in
Lisbon and named Diego.
The first and most important results
of his marriage to Columbus were that
two of his wife's brothers-in-law ex-

Boston Ideas, &c.

In his recent speech made before the

chusetts." eulogizcd Governor RUSSELL, Of

half the people were idolizing him; that

him, and. as clincher. added that Bos-
ton ideas dominate the country" Boston
has so good an opinion of herself that the
mention Of her name is we'll calculated to
recall SYDNEY SMrh's story of the man
who never heard his own name called
without taking of his hat. We shall not
DENY nor affirm that Boston ideas dominate
the country; nor shall we srieye over the
fact. if fact it be. We do not know exactly
what Mr.. LINDSEY means by the phrase,
Boston ideas" Nor do we know when
these ideas took possession OF Boston. But
we wish 10 remind Mr.. LINDSEY and all
Others concerned in the spread of Boston
ideas that a majority Of the good people
Of that city are said TO be either foreign
ers by birth or the children of foreigners.
Perhaps the spread of these ideas betokens
q bright future fo- Boston. And yet what
would the consumers of beans not do 10
defend their city from the charge OF being,
TO all intents and purposes. foreign city
We do not refer now TO her large foreign
population so much as 10 the want OF

have an eye to schemes and policies which
people of no other city joins Boston IN ad-
yocating.
New England claims the public-school
system Of tae Union as part Of her work.

MIR. LINDSEY had reference when he said
that Boston ideas dominate the country.
