MALARIA GERMS
FIN the Air and Poison the Drinking
Water.

FIN tho Air and Poison tho Drinking
Water.
Each season of the year has its special liza
bility to disease. 1he months OF August.
September an6 October always bring with
them more or less malaria, according to the
locality. Malaria is due to q little organ
ism which is generated in water. producing
millions of spores, or eggs, with which the
water is filled. People drinking such water
have malaria Or, again, if such water
dries up under ground, the spores are left to
dry, and they are carried from place to
place by the wind, which are inhaled by
the people, causing malaria Every one is
liable to have malaria at this season of the
year. Malaria does not always produce
distinct chill and sweating, but far oftener
manitests itself by the following symptoms;
Slight chilliness and flashes of heat, furred
tongue and loss of appetite, continuous dull
headache and sleeplessness, biliousness and
dyspepsia.
For malaria in all its forms there is no
remedy the equal of Pe-ru-na- This remedy
cleanses the system of the malarial poison
and arouses each function of the body to
healthy action. No matter how many
failures one may have had to get relief from
other remedies, Pe-ru-na promptly restores
the system TO health. The beneficial effects
of this remedv are felt at once, although It
may have TO be continued some time to rid
the system of the malarial poison.

these indications of land increased Fish,
such as swim near the coast, were caught,
more sea weed with occasionally live
crab, focks of birds, piece of carved
wood. So numerous were these Things thas
sometimes the sailors were inclined to be-
lieye that they were devices of the evil one
to lure them further and further away from
home to their destruction.
But the serene confidence of Columbus
and the courage of the Pinzons controlled
the crews There was mutiny on board
the Santa Maria one day and the sailors
declared they would no longer continue on
the way. Columbus argued, pleaded and
commanded and finally the men yielded
and returned to work and TO eagerly watch
out for the hoped-for land. A pension OF

to the man who should first see land, slim
uiated them. Each vessel crowded all can
vas, and it was on September 70 that Mar
tin Alonzo Pinzon declared he saw land:
Columbus fell upon his knees and thanked
God. and Pinzon and crew repeated the
HGIoria in FxceIsis Deo." But after all
this was not land. The voyagers had been
deceived. BY banks of clouds THAI looked
like land. Twelve days later they were de-
ceiyed in the same manner, but all the signs
pointing to the nearness of land increased
every day, and general impression pre-
vailed among all the sailors that their voy-
age was nearing an end
By the evening on the 11th of October all
doubt had vanished. Everybody knew
that land was at hand. None slept that
night. Columbus was on watch and about
10 o'clock he called his lieutenant
'oThere is light ahead, dost thousee it?"
he asked
"Ay. that 1 do was the response.
ssThank God, we shall now see land again.
The light went out, but was occasionally
seen afterward and the vessels were kept
steadily on their course westward About
2 O'Clock in the morning gun was heard
from the Pinta which was leading. This
was the signal agreed upon and now land
could be clearly seen five or six miles
ahead. Columbus had triumphed at last.
This was the proof that would confound
those who had opposed and laughed at him
during all these long weary years But
syen now he only thought that he had
reached Asia. He did not know that he
had discovered new world.

CHAPTER Y.
THE FIRST VOYAGE


Readmitted to the presence of Ferdinand
and Isabella, Columbus thanked the soyer-
eigns and was assured that nothing should
stand in the way OF his advancement The
King and Queen, now that they were COM
mitted to the enterprise, were thoroughly In
earnest. But the officials OF the court were
still opposed to the Genoese sailor and two
months we're consumed In discussing and
arranging details to the satisfaction OF both
parties. 1t was the last Of April before the
commission and contract were signed BY the
King and Queen. By these papers Coium,
bus was made an Admiral of Spain, and all
the powers of admiral, viceroy and gov
ernor over all the lands that he might
discover were given to him for himself and
his heirs forever Furthermore one-teDth
part of 'all goods, silver, spices and all
other articles" to be secured "by trade, dis
covery or any other method" were prom
ised to him. He also had the privilege OF
taking an eighth interest in all trading ex-
peditions that might thereafter be started
to do business between Spain and the new
territory.
Columbus went back to his good friends
at the Convent of La Rabida happy man.
Father Perez and the Pinzons received him
joyously, and the work of preparing the ex-
pedition was at once entered upon. But
trouble still pursued the great explorer.
Days, weeks and months dragged YEARLY
BY before the complete fulfllment OF his
desires was achieved
Ferdinand and Isabella kept loyalty to
their agreement, but they were inclined to
economy. By royal edict the town OF
Palos was ordered to furnish at its own e1-
pense two ships with arms and provisions
and money to pay the crews tor four months
and to do all this within ten days.
When this decree was read to the people
from the pulpit of the little village church
there was an exciting time. The people
