center such vessel was absolutely open
and in no respect superior 10 the fishing
craft and other light coasting vessels OF
today. That men should have been
willing to dare the passage OF the
stormy Atlantic in such craft gives us a
high idea of their courage. and rs a
matter Of fact only Columbus, Las
Casas, the Puzons and two or three
other mad enthusiasts were willing.
The crew consisted chiefly Of desperate
characters compelled to tako the trip.
Many were released from prison to go.
and some had been condemned to death
and VOLUNTEERED as bare chance for life.

these. He firmly believed that the

One OF the most striking suggestions
for the local observances of Columbus
Day is that in every town and city in
the land the schools parade after the
morning exercises Of the celebration.
While this Is not specifically included in
the official programme prepared for the
day, it is strongly urged by the CON-
mittee Of educators who have had the
uniform celebration in charge.
If there is general parade of the
civic and military organizations q
public school review" should DO its
most honored feature. If there is no
general procession the schools alone
might be reviewed. Let the pupils
meet at their school houses ut desig-
mated hour and be conducted by eff
cient marshals. without delays and in
perfect order. 10 their places in the line.
The army veterans north and south,
the blue and the gray alike, are proper
" to march with the schools as special
guards Of honor. As the reviewing
stand is reached each part Of the column
can salute the flag with cheers and
waving of handkerchiefs ard caps.
The various patriotic organizations
might fittingly be invited both to the
morning exercises and to serve, in addi-
ton to the veterans, As escorts in the re-
view. The beauty Of the review would
be heighter "A IL each school carried
both the national flag and distinctive
banner of its own. The review also
might he made impressive by symbolic
floats: models Of the "old red school
house" and Of the ship Of Columbus are
among the appropriate subjects. This
feature, however, should not be at
tempted ul.ess il can be effectively done.
In all cases. let it be said, the fantastic
should be vigorously barred from the
procession.

THE NEW SANTA MARIA.

II is indeed hard to believe that the
little caravel Of 2i0 tons at the outside
could have made such a voyage, and
when one compares it with the large
sailing vessels Of today he may well be
incredulous. With the achievements
Of steam and practical science we are
tolerably familiar, but the fact then
Nhough sailing vessels antedate written
history, the progress therein since 1892
Is as great as in anything else) comes 10
one as great surprise. Compare the
little Santa Maria with, for instance,
the magnificent Shenandoah. the Ameri-
can four masted bark and queen of all
sailing vessels, which a few months age
went from San Francisco to Liverpool
with 5000 tons of wheat on board.
Consider first the big sailer. The
Shenandoah, commanded by Captain
Murphy, was one of the five which left
the Bay Of San Francisco last year on
the famous race around the Horn. They
sailed at high tide, Of necessity, as they
drew twenty-seven feet of water. The
weight of wheat aboard, 5000 tons, was
the greatest cargo Of the kind ever
placed in a vessel and equivalent &c
1855, 733 bushels, or the crop of an aver.
age agricultural county. An adequate
description of the Shenandoah would
fill a column. Sailer rs SD II, she
"makes sail by steam," as sailors say
that is, the sails are pulled into place
by a little donkey engine, and of all
glorious sights to the seaman's eye there
Is mono more glorious than to see her
swell from bare poles to full rig Of
snowy sails in less than five minutes.
The Santa Maria might have been
placed on the deck of the Shenandoah
without adding percepti6ly to her
weight Of cargo. She was dccked YES
sci, and while the Spanish historians DO
not deal in exact measurements they are
so minnie in details OF her capacity thnt
her size is known. Captain Gustavus
w. Fox. after very careful calculation.
declares that her length was "C3 feet
over all AMI 81 feet along her keel"
with 90 feet beam and 10i feet in depth.
Her crew consisted Of fifty Ecamen, and
in the list are found the Names of one
Englishman and one lrishman. II Is
really pity that this list is not certain
ly authentic; it would be interesting TO
know the name Of the first Irish emf

Designs for four Of these floats are par
ticularly worthy Of notice. They will
cost thousands of dollars. and are calcu-
lated 70 eclipse anything heretofore seen
In this sort Of pageantry-
The first is tableau Of Columbus be-
fore the court Of Ferdinand and Isabella.
The monarchs sit on their gilded throne
under the rich canopy, both attired as
becomes the rulers OF Leon and CASTLE.
Before them stands Columbus eagerly
and earnestly trying 10 convince them
OF the truth of his theories. His charts
are spread before him on table. The
explorer is dressed in black velvet, with
a long gown. which he throws aside in
his eagerness. The queen listens intent
ly, TIL conviction of his truth growing
uron her. The king, however, is almost
indifferent.
Their Catholic zeal and faith is shown
by large cross behind them. Near
Columbus stand several courtiers and
some Of the wise men. The latter have
their own maps with them and cannot
suppress a scornful sheer at the pre-
sunTtuous adyentnrer. whose mind they
suggest is disordered.
The next float is more typically Amer

Glacier. At the request OF many
citizens, we publish the fact that a meet
ting will be held at Armory hall, We'd
nesday afternoon next at , O'Clock for
the purpose of discussing the water
question. The object being ito see if
some plan can be devised by which the
water can be supplied by the people
themselves. The crop from five acres of
Strawberries on each side of the river,
will pay the cost of building ditch
carrying water enough for all, in -four
years. Or if one-hundred farmers will
each plant 100 feet square to strawber-
ries, the crop will pay for the ditch in
one year. And yet we hesitate about
tackling the job.
