II is most curiously interesting that
the landing place of Left Erilsson may
be discovered by following the course
Of party Of Englishmen who, several
centuries after his time, were on the
Charles river under conditions in some
respects quite similar.
Before the founding of Boston, Win
throp and his associates, sailing up
the Charles river, earnestly looked
about them for good landing place.
They passed through the Back bay;
they went onward past the swampy
flats, until, coming to bend where was
the only landing place on either side Of
the stream for miles, they decided to
there stop.
Gewy's Landing-so the place was
long since named-and Gerry's Landing
is thought to be the very spot where
Left, preceding Winthrop in such re-
markable fashion, also grounded his
boats and pulled them up on shore.
The early New Englanders, after the
country began to be settled, soon
learned the value of this fine landing

ator Sherman, Senator Brice, and
others of the dignitaries present. They
were interspersed by instrumental and
vocal music.
Iowa's pretty building was formally
dedicated by Gov. Boies, his staff and
small party of Iowans at II o'clock
a. m. The party was escorted into the
grounds by picked detachment from
the First brigade.
The Iowa State band opened the exer-
cises with Rossini's Barber of Seville''
overture. Rev. T.. L. Greene, chaplain
of the First Iowa regiment, delivered
the invocation. Then James o. Cros-
by, president of the Iowa Colum bian
exposition, in few we'll chosen words
presented the building to the governor,
Horace Boies, who accepted it in an elo-
quent address and rendered it to the
Worlds Columbian exposition. Director
General George r. Davis in a happy
speech formally accepted it, and a

band followed. A poem by Mrs. Lucia

lecture among the fearless mariners
who thronged to hear him.
And one among them, Left Erikson,
was strangely fired by the tale He
could no longer sail with patience the
brief voyages that had before con-
tented him. His wild spirit yearned to
reach the new land; passionate ambi-
tion and restless longing urged him to
sail away into unknown regions and to
seek untried ventures, until at length,
giving way to vehement eagerness, he
departed in quest of the seen but real
ly undiscovered country.
he touched at several points whose
exact locality can but be conjectured,
but his description of prominent
cape which he finally reached is so
much like n description of Cape Cod that
it may rot unreasonably be believed
that it was really Cape Cod that he
saw.
He did not pass beyond this cape,
checked doubtless by that long and
drearily-forbidding line of sand, but,
turning back, and coasting along the
landed, proceeded on his way until he
found what seemed q fitting place to
spend the winter season.
He passed into q river which flowed
from lake into bay-such is the de-
scription in the old Morse Saga-and
then, going upon the shore, directed
his men to there set up their winter
habitations.
The description applies closely to the
Charles river, running as it does from
the Back bay to the Bay of Massachu-
setts From the not too definitely
wordcd description in tho Saga, how
ever, it would be supposed that upon
the ''lake" 1.-THE Back bay, that is) was
the Morse home, while, as matter of
fact, there is no reason for supposing it
was actually there
For upon the shores of the Back bay
have been found no excavations, no
vestigcs of homes; and, much more inn
portant than this, it is supposed that
there was no landing-place-no place,
at least, fit for living upon on either
side of the Charles river from its mouth
70 a spot some distance above the Back
bay, and that there was no landing
place upon the shores of the Back bay
itself.
But the Saga need not be interpreted
in narrow or technical spirit. We
may fairly suppose it to mean that they
passed from the bay into the lake, and
made their landing at the first fitting
spot that could be found.
And. too, the place which Left finally
chose was SO eminently satisfactory
that his brother Thorwald, two years
later. sought it out Us the spot whereor
to establish his own winter quarters
therefore the locality must have eer
one with peculiar and special ad, an
tages-such o spot has been found.

place. A log warehouse was erecteo,
and many a cargo of merchandise was
there unloaded and stored, to be piled
later upon the clumsy primitive wagons
of those early days and dragged by
slow-moving OK teams into the interior,
either to the log homes of the wilder
ness dwellers, or to be bartered with
the Indians for peltries and game.
And yet, important though Gerry's
Landing was in early days, it long since
ceased to be used and is now almost
forgotten. Few know the locality, and
the nearby presence of the contagious
ward of the Cambridge hospital serves
to keep those few away.
Relics, too, have been found in east
ern Massachusetts, which have hastily
been set forth as mementoes of the
Norsemen, and engravings and sketches
of the articles have been published in
elaborate form.
Yet all the relics-arrows, stone axes
and other pieces-are but familiar In
dian forms, and we have in our own col
lection an Indian net-sinkcr of stone
which is exactly similar to the store net
sinller found at Gerry's Landing and
claimed by it's finder to be Morse.
1t is great mistake to try to actually
prove the various facts connected with
the Morse visits. The facts are not sus-
ceptible of irrefragable, incontestible
proof. There is not, after ALL a tangi-
BILE, visible sign on the North American
continent to show that the Norsemen
actually reached the North American
shores, and in view of this it is unwise,
indeed, to attempt to demonstrate, in
disputably, what is not susceptible of
| indisputable demonstration.
Yet there is another kind of demon
stration possible. There is the reason
able and natural Interpretation of the
Saga. There is the study of all the at
! tendant surroundings. There is the
comparison of all that was probable,
with what was actually done, so far as
the meaning Of the Morse record may
be understood.
Such study and such reasoning lead
to the feeling of certainty that the
Morse actually reached New England
while further study and reasoning, il
not weakened by absurd claims regard.
ing chimneys and relics, lead to the
reasonable probability that at Gerry's
Landing was actually Leif's home
There is very much which points out
the truth of the supposition. There is
no other spot which can be pointed out
as more likely to be the very one.
Gerry's Landing is, therefore, q pro-
foundly interesting locality, associated
as it is with such happening.
In front the river makes great bend
slowly dragging it's black and muddy
waters out of sight around the low
wet banks of the opposite shore. A
marshy, unattractive little stream runs
into the Charles close by, adding some
what to the dreariness of effect.
On slightly rising ground, near the
little brook and away from the
marshes, are corn fields and vegetable
gardens, while an old cemetery shows
its white stones among the trees.
A gently-undulating country is imme
diately behind the landing, with slight

BERLIN, Oct. 25.-Official details Of

lished. The peace footing from Oc-
tober /, 1898, to March 81, 1895, is fixed
at 492, ,O6S. The service of the infantry
is generally reduced to two years. The
adoption of this measure is necessary
because the former military prepon-
derance of Germany is gone. The war
strength of France is placed at 4,o58.-
900 and of Russia 4,556,000. When
the reorganization under the bill is
completed the German army will have

BOLD LEFT ERIKSoN.
The First Norseman Who Reached
the American Shore.
Alleged Discovery of the Worry sito OF His
Massachusetts Homc-Gcrry's Land
Ing Supposed to Bo tho spot Where
tho Daring Adventurer Landed.
Especial Boston Letter. !

There Is fascination in the thought
that we may stand upon the very
spot where the first Norseman who
reached America put up his home; the
very spot where Left ErilSson, rough
and bearded and bold, landed his little
craft, and with his fierce and shaggy
followers, erected home upon the
American shore and gave thanks to
Odin and Thor for the fortunate COM
pletion of daring voyage.
The gradual change of opinion regard
Ing the fact of Morse voyages to this
country has been most curious. Some
years since, scarcely the most daring
ventured to suggest that, centuries be-
fore the time of Columbus, Norsemen
reached our shore. Now, scarcely the
most daring will deny it,
That Left ErilSson actually landed
upon North American soil, and that he
sailed his boat for quite a distance
along the North American coast, may
be considered sure, and those who have
closely investigated the story of his
voyage have not hesitated to mark out
somewhat of the route that he pursued.
And now it is even claimed that the
very site of his Massachusetts, home has
been discovered; that very recently the
exact spot has been found; and it was
with feelings of the deepest interest
that we visited the spot and viewed the
surroundings.
Following the Charles river past
where it flows into the sea; past where
1t widens into the broad Back bay
(much broader, years since, than now);
past where it is lined by the buildings
of Boston's outskirts, one goes onward,
up the dark and quiet stream, and as he
notices the almost imperceptible cur
rent, and the banks of black mud, and
the marshy fields and sedgy grass
stretching Off on either hand, his fancy
may picture Left Erikson and his men
proceeding slowly up that very stream
and past those muddy banks and sedgy
swamps.
The story of the inception Of the voy.
age is interesting. A Morse boat,
driven by tempests from it's course, had
approached an unknown land, but the
captain, although gazing with aston.
ishment upon the new-found capes and
bluffs, did not pause to further prose.

and, telling of the new land that he
had seen but not landed upon, excited
wondering comment and vague con

THE IOWA BUILDING.


the benediction and Fred Phenny's
columbian March," played by the
state band, closed the programme.
Gov. Russell. of Massachusetts. had
plenty of company when the dedication
ceremonies of the commemorative
building were commenced. Z. g
Hovey, the executive commissioner
of the Massachusetts state board,
made an address in which he ten
dered the building to the governor and
offered it for the use of the state.
Gov. Russell accepted it in short ad-
dress.
The dedicatory exercises at the Kan
sas state building began at 1880
o'clock. The building is not yet COM
pleted, but it is sufficiently along in its
construction to show that it will be a
beautiful structure and source OF
pride to the state. Short addresses
were made by W. ii. Smith, chairman
of the Kansas state exposition board,
Lieut.. t.-Gov. Felt and others.
Gov. Brown dedicated the pretty
little Rhode Island state house at
o'clock in the presence of his staff
officers, goodly little company OF
citizens of that state and number OF
members of the Chicago Society Of
Sons of Rhode Island.
Florida's state building, a reproduc
tion of old Fort Marion, upon which sc
great amount of history is founded
was dedicated Saturday afternoon
There were not many Florida people
present and the exercises were some
what brief. The building is not ye
completed, but it's exterior looks eX
actly like the old fort which it is bull
to represent.
