SANTA MARIA.

of about equal size. Columbus chose three small ships rather than one large vessel. with tho hope that out of the three one at least would weather the stormy passage and live to return,
 They were designed and constructed upon model of the old type of craft known as the caravel, which included in its class all vessels from 30 to 100 tons with or without decks.
 The Santa Maria was no larger than the little schooners engaged in fishing on the Great Banks, or about equal in tonnage to the stanch pilot boats which cruise along our coast in all weathers This vessel upon which Columbus sailed was eighty-Gve feet long, twenty-four feet wide and drew eight feet of water Her bottom was made very flat, in order that she might Do run upon the shore or sandy beach without undue strain to her timbers Her extreme width was at the water line where the hull bulges out several feet beyond the upper structure at the deck. This form of "tumbling home" as 1t is termed in the vernaculaI of the sailor, is rarely seen in ships Of modern design and construction, al though this build can be seen in modi. fled degree in many of tho old frigates now relegated to "ordinary" in our navy yards Ancient shipbuilders held that bulging out the sides of vessel pre- vented her rolling in heavy sea, and accordingly her decks would not be ex posed to to the sweep of heavy surges breaking close aboard.
 The Santa Maria had but one deck At the bow was house called the fore castle. in which the petty officers slept and also part of the crew. Across the stern of the ship was second house called the after castle, above which ran deck called the poop deck or quarter deck. A small watch tower was erected on the poop deck as the post of duty for the officer of the watch. The admiral of the fleet occupied the after cabin, the officers of high rank being permitted to share it with him, while the rest of the crew was quartered in the hold and in such parts of the ship as were not util- ized for slowing provisions and ballast.
 The after part of these ships lowered many feet above the crest of the wave and when running before heavy follow. ing seas the deckhouses were rarely swept by them, no matter how severe the gale before which the ship was driven.
 The Pinta and Nina, sister ships of the squadron, were about seventy feet in length, the Nina, however, being 8 little smaller in tonnage than the Pinta These vessels were not decked fore and aft like the Santa Maria, although each had deckhouses, or castles, at the bow and stern.
 Today it would be foolhardy venture to dispatch vessels without decks on a mission across boisterous sea. Yet these ships were constructed so solidly of well seasoned oak timber, planked

square rigged prior to sailing, and the latter was similarly changed before the fleet left the Canaries from Palos. Ships in the days of Columbus were supposed to make headway through the water only when the wind blew in favorable direction. The idea of tacking against head wind was entirely unknown to the mariners of the past, notwithstand. ing the fact that ships have been pro- pelled by sail power alone for thousands of years. Yet in spite of all these ob- stacles and disadvantages we find in the logbook of the Santa Maria that speed of seven knots an hour was not an un- usual occurrence.
 As it was customary to employ oars against contrary winds, the crews of the ships were necessarily larger in pro- portion to their size than in modern ships. No less than 120 men were em- ployed to sail the ships of Columbus.
 The officers were known as the patron or captain, watchman or first mate, a counselor or navigator, the master of the deck, scribe or secretary who wrote the ships log, steward and a surgeon.
 The rigging consisted entirely of hemp. Their anchor cables were hemp hawsers, each following the old rule of four times the mainmast in length. Each ship was supplied with boat called launch, which was always lowed astern. Re- fractory sailors were punished by being placed in the launch for many days upon short allowances and exposed to the heat of the sun and heavy drenching of the waves.
 Although the compass was known to the Arabs long before Columbus and by the Chinese as far back as the begin. ming of tho Christian era, yet this in- strument was in itself not sufficient to navigate vessel over an unknown sea. The quadrant, an instrument known to Columbus as the astrolabe, was SUD- piled to each ship; by its use in astro- nomical observations the ships position upon the high seas with respect to the equator could be readily ascertained, and also errors existing in the compasses causing the ships to deviate from their true courses were found and the proper adjustments accordingly made.
 Thus Columbus was able to embark and sail away with that feeling of self reliance which had won him success on all his previous expeditions. The little town of Palos, then the greatest seaport on the Mediterranean, never sent out a grander marine spectacle than when Columbus embarked and weighed anchor and stood boldly down the Rio Tinto to sea, followed closely in his wako by the Pinta and Nina. The lavish golden carvings which decorated these ships, the red and yellow standards of Spain, the gay streamers floating in the breeze from every mast and spar, these alto gether presented to the cheering crowds gathered on the wharves, housetops and neighboring hills a picturesque sight. It was indeed the crowning spectacle of the reign o: Ferdinand and Isabella.

A MEMORABLE ANNIVERSARY.
October 12 Unites Four Centuries
 American life

October i2 Unites Four Centuries of
 American Life.
 October l2 will have a prominent place in history. It not only unites the four centuries of American life that are clos. ing with the centuries that are before us, but it will be made memorable by a great national celebration. The signal for this demonstration will be the dedi- cation of the Worlds Columbian expo sition grounds in Chicago.
 On that day our foremost American institution-the public school-will be the center of local celebrations ill the cities and towns from the Atlantic ro the Pacific.
 By linking together all these local celebrations as parts of systematic national demonstration the full signif canoe of tho day will be brought out.
 The object for this movement for 6 national celebration is not only to inter. est the youth of tho country ill the Worlds Columbian exposition, but also to give to the American public school a fitting prominence as the fruit of four centuries Of American life.
 Both the Worlds congress commission of the Columbian exposition and the American superintendents of education have requested that the public schools of each city and town lead in the local celebration. These two bodies have also appointed joint executive committee to direct the movement and to prepare a uniform and fitting programme for uni versal use.
 Every wideawake boy and girl in our land has read or will read the message issued by the Columbian public school celebration commission with keen inter- est. It speaks vigorous word to every one of the several million pupils in our public schools. How far the spirit of this message is carried out depends upon each individual boy and girl. We be. Iieve they will respond to it promptly and enthusiastically. They are too thor oughly imbued with tho true spirit of American loyalty and patriotism to per init such an opportunity to be lost They will enter into the spirit of this i'm portant event with characteristic Amer ican energy and determination.
 It is an inspiring thought that on Oct. l2 all the loyal sons and daughters of our land will be united by one common purpose of such lofty conception. We believe that the pupils in our public schools will provo as enterprising and intelligently patriotic as those of any city or town in America. Don't wait until the eleventh hour. If our schools are to attempt to be the center of local celebration which shall be worthy of the day there is none too much time for preparation. Let the schools begin at oIce Teachers and scholars should make common cause.

A SCHEME that was dear to the hear of the late Senator Plumb, who almosj succeeded in his efforts to get it adopt ed by the Fifty-first Congress, has been revived by Representative Pattison, oI Ohio, who has introduced joint reso lution providing for the creation of permanent, non-partisan tariff com mission, which shall investigate ano consider all questions relating to the agricultural, commercial, mercantile manufacturing, mining and industrla interests of the United States, and annually transmit the information ob' tained to Congress, together with suci recommendations as the Commission may deem necessary and proper. Sc far the resolution is almost identicaI with the one which MT. Plumb offered as an amendment to the Mckinley tar if bill and which was adopted by the Senate but afterwards stricken out by the conference committee, but Mir Pattison's resolution contains provisC which prohibits the commission rccom' mending a duty on anything manu' factured in the United States in excess of the difference in the cost of produc' ing the same article abroad, With tn, exception of the last proviso, which seems unnecessary, the idea of a non partisan tariff commission is an excel lent one. There is no good reason why the tariff should figure in the par tisan politics of this country, and Il would not if undisputed statistics, show ing its effect upon all branches of busi ness and all classes of people, were ob' tainable; then there would be but onc opinion among intelligent men, as th' one object aimed at by the protection ist, the tariff reformer and the free trader is to get that which will bring the greatest benefit to their fellow countrymen, and the principle reason for differences of opinion at this time is the impossibility of securing oflicia statements in favor of either that ar, not flatly contradicted by other official statements. The professional poli' ticians have uo desire, however, to sec the tariff taken out of politics, and foI that reason Congress is not likely to authorize the creation of tariff com mission.

 Syrup"

The majority of well-read phys icians now believe that Consump- ton is a germ disease. In other words, instead of being in the con- stitution itself it is caused by innu- merable small creatures living in the lungs having no business there and eating them away as caterpillars do
 the leaves of trees. A Germ The phlegm that is
 coughed up is those Disease. parts of the lungs
 whi h have been gnawed off and destroyed. These little bacilli, as the germs are called, are too small to be seen with the naked eye, but they are very much alive just the same, and enter the body in our food, in the air we breathe, and through the pores of the skin. Thence they get into the blood and finally arrive at the lungs where they fasten and increase with frightful rapidity. Then German Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills them, expells them, heals the places they leave, and so nourish and soothe that, in short time consump- tves become germ-proof and well. 9
