speed ana made him sign a cast iron
contract 70 turn over all his discoveries
to her and Ferdinand. Then, believing
that the great traveller would strike Asia,
they gave him letter Of introduction
TO the khan of Tartary instead of letter
10 Sitting Bull. as they should have done.
and he set out.
He WAS TO be commodore of long
island sound if he succeeded, and gov
ernor general of Constable's Hook. He
was. by contract. permitted to retain
one-tenth of all gold, silver, pearls,
B precious stones and pelts found on the
VOYAGE after the costs had been de-
Quoted
The biographer OF Columbus tells US
that the story about Isabella having
pawned her jewels to fit out Columbus
on his trip will not do at all. She and
Ferdie just simply cast an anchor to
windward, hoping to get controlling
interest in the Standard Oil company be-
fore anybody else did so.
And so the story gradually comes down
to the spinal column of lust for gold, not
only on the part of his royal hackers, but
even Columbus and his crew were out
for the dust and that alone. What q
commonplace tale after our schooiboy
wonder and admiration. Wherever Co
lumbus landed he asked if gold existed
there If not, he assessed the natives so
much cotton per head. When there was
gold. it was hawks bill of this metal
per man and Il calabash of gold per
chief The rotundity Of the earth did
not worry him so mach as his own
rotundite.
Finally Columbus got to lying again
de gave offices TO his relatives. not only
to his wife's family, but at last he got
reckless and began to hand out Offices TO
his numerous children. 1t was then
time to call a halt, as the local Genoa
papers so truly said, and when he offered
to open mp slave trade between Spain
and the Bahamas people lost faith in him.
IT is pretty well settled that Columbus
drew the prize for first seeing land,
when rs matter of fact one of his men
+ was first TO see it, and that he put the
money into watch with a peach stone
/ charm on the chain.
/ Columbus had been dead $50 years be-
fore he learned that his discovery was
not part of Asia. We can imagine
him now. as he rode along the Jersey
coast, inquiring for the All Khoond of
/ Swat, to whom he had letter from
Ferdinand. can see him now at the
Potter building or the Mills building
asking for the khan of Tartary, or try
ing to find his telephone number on a
pink pamphlet at the ferry.
Yet we might as well give to Column
bus the glory of this great discovery,
whether be did it accidentally or from a
mercenary point of view purely. We
viii let that go.
The time is ripe for celebration. Let
us celebrate When Columbus came
here Patrick Henry had not even been
surmised; Henry Clay had not been
thought OF.
The application of electricity had not
been dreamed of, and the pink tea was
yet unborn. Oh, what strides have been
made even in one century, and in 400
years the change has been most marvel
Gus. The use of ensilage at the time of
the discovery of America was yet in its
infancy. Lots of people did not know
what it was. It is SO even now.

Religion was at that time in rudi-
nentary state. Now it is perfected and
painless in its operations. Then religion
was calamity; now it is a blessing,
and is rarely as fatal as it used to be.
Cooking has advanced with giant
strides Pie, both plain and engraved,
has been introduced. The brevetted pie
with monogram has taken the place of
the early tart, which was not durable,
and which yielded readily to the action
of the stomach.
Craftsmanship as means of obtaining
livelihood has come to stay. The study
of government is beginning to interest the
scholarly, while those who are not
scholarly continue to scoop in the votes
and do the growing.
Whether Columbus discovered this
country on purpose or not, the writer of
these lines is much obliged to him.
Whether he did it for revenue only or
for the advancement of civilization, his
courage is worthy our respect and es-
TEEN, and it Is my own earnest wish
that his little episode in honor of his
four hundredth anniversary may score a
success, as the dramatic critics some
times saw

Planters Monthly.

The August number of this serial
lies before US, filled as usual with
various articles on cane cultiva-
ton and other topics of interest to
those engaged in this and other
agricultural pursuits. Some sug-
gestions are given how to increase
the sugar yield, stress being laid
on deep or subsoil blowing and
care in selection of good seed, and
in stripping the cane. From an
article copied from the New South
Wales Agricultural Gazette, it APP
pears that FIJI is troubled with a
banana disease, but not the same
as has been referred to in these
columns as existing at Hilo. The
article gives remedies, the most
effective of which is thorough Gull
tivation and rotation. A descrip-
ton is given of the Missouri Botan-
ical Garden in st. Louis, created
and maintained by the bequest of
a rich gentleman, now deceased,
which is said to be the finest con-
servatory in the United States.
The list of officers and committees
of the Planters Society is given,
and attention called to the annual
meeting to be held in October.
