announce, that America is the biggest
thing OF earth, and that no other people
can hold a candle TO the American, receives
a chilling rebuke in the presence OF these
two quiet proofs that there was time,
not so very long ago, when his Wanted
country was as far as civilization IS con-
cerned, absolutely of no account.
But America is discovered, and all map
makers begin TO till the old void with
will. Fifteen hundred and two is the date
of the oldest map bearing coast lines
only coast lines to be sure-the Antilles.
Newfoundland and the north angle of
Brazil: but they meant great things TO
Europe gazing at That map. In 1913 We
find Greenland hanging from the side Of
Asia. In 1882 the maps carry out Column
bus idea that the new lands he had
reached were only a continuation east
ward of Asia. Those historians who hold
Columbus guilty of having suggested that
America was really part of Asia should
examine these early maps. II is difficult
10 see from them how one could explain
the new discoveries in any other way.
The old photographers all give Asia too
great breadth. The width of North
America was, of course, only a matter of
