Tobacco Market.

The sales of leaf tobacco having been
suspended for Christmas week are again
resumed and the ~warehousemen have
put on an air of business, and we once
more see the wagons rolling in, the
trucks running, the horns blowing, the
buyers congregating and the auctioneer
whooping "This way if you please and
the sale will now begin" Buyers gather
around full of life and animation, the
New Years work begins. The boys bid
a little reckless on the start, but they soon
got the harness adjusted and began to
pull steady. The market is now fully
opened and every thing is moving on
smoothly and with good seasons we an
ticipate full breaks and satisfactory
prices.

The monarchs sit on their giided throne

Before them stands Columbus eagerly
and earnestly trying to convince them
of the truth Of his theories. His charts
are spread before him on a table. The
explorer is dressed in black velvet, with
a long gown, which he throws aside in
his cagerness. The queen listens intent
ly, the conviction Of his truth growing
upon her. The king, however, is almost
Indifferent.

THE MAP COLUMBUS USED.


Intlh Nnsie america LIES
Maps based on ascertained facts are
modern idea. Prior to the age of tho
discovery in which Columbus is tho
most illuetrious figure, known facts were
not thought absolutely needful in the
drawing of maps. Maps were plenty;
facts for therl were used as far as they
would 90; after the facts were exhaust
ed, geographical theories answered as
well.
Thus Ptolemy, in the map which
served Europe for a dozen centuries,
sketched the lands about the Mediterra-
mean with at least recognizable degree
of correctness. But when he reached
the limits of the explored regions he did
not hesitate to finish his map; he simply
put beyond the known frontiers what he
thought ought to be there. He believed
that beyond the visited portions Of tho
earth were only vast deserts or impen-
etrablo swamps. lie had no idea of
open oceans beyond the known lands.
Ptolemy, however, understood and rep
resented the sphericity of the earth
What is still more curious, he estimated
the earth's circumference astonishingly
near the truth. lie made it only $500
miles too little.
But after Ptolemy, about 800 A. D.,
a geographer of the church arose whose
name was Cosmas. He scorned the
blasphemous idea that the earth was
round lie laid out the whole universe
in about the shape of Saratoga trunk"
to follow the figure Of Professor John
Fiskc
But discoveries had been pushing east
ward across Asia. Some monks sent
out as missionaries, in about 1850 A. D.,
learned from Chinese whom they fell in
with that on the eastern shore of China
was a vast ocean,

The ideas Of Ptolemy about the spher-
lefty Of the earth We're beginning to be
held again. 1t was therefore not
great leap to think that perhaps the
ocean on the east of China and the ocean
on tho west Of Spain We're the same
ocean Roger Bacon thought so, saying
he fancied the distance from Spain to
Asia vas not 50 very great. Columbus
thought so too. lie never dreamed
continent lay between. He argued that
he had only TO sail westward and he
would soon come TO the eastern coast Of
China or Japan, or, as he called them,
Chafan and Iipaugu.
Columbus was aided by the map work
of ToscanelH. This distinguished as
tronomer, who drew his map about 1870,
calculated the circumference of the
earth prodigiously near the truth-he
made it only 1911 miles too great. This
accuracy for that day is simply amaz-
ins. Toscanelli, however, was all in
Greenland about Asia; he elongated
Asia till it covered the whole Pacific
ocean. Then he pictured open ocean,
beginning at about the longitude Of
California and extending east to Europe.
Columbus pored over this map and
carried it with him on his voyage as the
nearest thing TO a chart which was OBJ
tainable. Nevertheless Columbus had
a theory Of his own about the width Of

landed upon had remained unknown.
The Quadlicentennial of the discovery
Of the New " orld was about to be cell

that the spot at which occurred the most

In May, 1891, the editor of the Chi
cago Herald wired me at Washington,
"Can you find the spot where Column

find tho north pole or capture a mer-
maid suppose the answer would have
been the same. The newspaper CORE
spondent is not surprised at ANYTHING.
