of jackson park. This will be repeated
every night and the Examinations will
be magnificent. Important events In the
life of Columbus and in the history OF
America will be represented. Many
symbolical floats will also be introduced.
Designs for four of these floats are par
ticuiarly worthy of notice. They will
cost thousands of dollars, and are calcu-
lated to eclipse anything heretofore seen
in this sort of pageantry.
The first is a 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 Castillo
Before them stands Columbus eagerly
and earnestly trying to 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
", the conviction Of his truth growing
upon her. The king, however, is almost
indifferent.
| Their Catholic zeal and faith is shown
by large cross behind them. Neal
Columbus stand several courtiers and
some of the wise men. The latter have
their own maps with them and canno
suppress scornful sheer at the pre-
sumptuous adventurer, whose mind the!
suggest is disordered.
The next float is more typically Amer
lean. Westward the course OF emplr
takes its way" is the subject. In
prominent feature is the prairie schoon
er drawn by oxen, which is just emery
ing from a cleft in the rocks. A scou
on horseback leads the way, and ahea
of him Indians are skullzing off benin
the rocks and trees. Another India
peers over ridge of rock at the advanc
of civilization.
In the foreground surveyors are wori
ing on line of railway. A little shant
under the cliff is their camp.

The Great Explorer Handled the Sword
More slillfully Than the Pen.
There is never ending dispute regard
ing the authenticity of the various por-
traits of Columbus. People who claim
to know deny that the picture which is
TO adorn the souvenir half dollar is
correct presentnent of the navigator's
features, but whether or not the grounds
on which they base their criticism are
tenable will probably never be decided.
Fortunately, however, the quarrel does
not extend to a challenge of the verify
of Columbus autograph, a facsimile OF
which is given herewith.
To the ready pen wielder of the Nine
teenth century the zigzag writing Of the
discoverer of America must seem queer
indeed, but it should be remembered
that In those daysmen welded the sword
and left the gentler arts to be preserved
at the hands of priests and women. Most
Of the famed leaders of the Fifteenth
century were unlettered and found 1t
laborious task to sign their names to i'm
portant documents prepared by thu
monks who followed in their trains. Co

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, 1t is strongly urged by the COM
mittee Of educators who have had the
uniform celebration in charge.
If there is general parade of the
civic and military organizations a
'spublic school review" should be Its
most honored feature. II there Is no
general procession the schools alone
might be reviewed. Let the pupils
meet at their school houses at desig-
mated hour and be conducted by eff
Gent marshals, without delays and In
nerfect order, to 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 ano
waving of handkerchiefs and caps.
The various patriotic organization
might fittingly be invited both to thu
morning exercises and to serve, In add
ton to the veterans, as escorts in the re
view. The beauty of the review would
be heightened if each school carried
both the national flag and DISTINCTIVE
banner Of Its own. The review ais
might be made impressive by symbol
, floats, models Of the "old red schoo
house, and Of the ship of Columbus ar
among the appropriate subjects. Thi
: feature however, should not be al
, tempted unless it can be effectively done
, In all cases, let it be said, the fantasti
should be vigorously barred from th
procession.

COLUMBUS DAY PREPARATIONS.

SUGGESTIONS to the Public Schools for
the Celebration of the Anniversary
The official programme for the ma
tional school celebration of Columbus
Day is now published. The first duty or
each of our schools this fall, if it wishes
TO be in line with the other schools OF
America, is to begin preparations at
once for its proper observance OF Oct'
81, the 4O0th anniversary OF the discov-
ery of America. A few suggestions as
to the first things to be done may be OF
some value.
Teachers, the superintendent and the
school board should confer, that action
may be harmonious and best results al,
tanned. The proposed celebration shouia
be explained to each school at the earh-
est moment. 1t should be so presented
as to awaken enthusiasm. Interesting
topics relating to Columbus and the dis
covery should be suggested for special
investigation. Such topics might DO
"The Map of the World Before the Dis
coyery," Important Inventions and
Events in Europe Just Before the D1s.
covery," "The Story Of Columbus
1.-THE Ships of Columbus" "What %
lumbus Expected to Find" "Geograph-
ical Growth of the United States
"Stories of South America" etc The
teacher should assign the address and
the ode to those who can render them
most intelligently. The flag salute and
the songs should be persistently re-
hearsed. =,
Important committees of pupils should
be appointed: First-A committee OF
invitation, whose duty is to see that the
family of each pupil receives a special
invitation to the morning exercises OF
Oct. 81, and also when they arrive Il
show them seats. Second-A colol
guard, whose duty is ~ to see that thu
school has flag and a staff In propel
: condition; (2) to meet the veterans a
they arrive and escort them with dignlt!
to the principal in the school house; q
to act as aids of the principal.
An efficient adult committee OF al
engagements should also be constituted
This committee must see-first, tina

learning, according to the standard OF
his age, but the use Of the pen was even
to him burden, and his famous diary
was probably written rs q matter OF

1t is curious to note that he formed
the individual letters in the same bold
yet uncertain style which characterized
the chirography Of Queen Elizabeth

ryp1FY1Na PEACE AND PLENTY.

The two floats "War' and ''Peace" will
probably be the only suggestion of the
civil conflict. The first float will be
dismantled ship, with masts and spars
shattered and sails torn In shreds. On
the battlefield are cannon, few dead
soldiers and dead horse. Over 1t hang
the demons of war. The coloring of this
float will all be somber. Black will
predominant. Lurid red light will be
thrown on the war demons lowering
over the battlefield.
"Peace" will be in strong contrast to
the last one. Every color will be bright.
The horn of plenty will be prominent,
pouring forth treasures, and angels OF
peace will hover over the land. The
dismounted cannon will be wreathed
with flowers, its muzzle filed with
roses, children will play over IT, and one
darling little one will sit astride the
breech, spiking it forever. Herewith
are given illustrations showing the gen
eral scope of two Of these interesting
designs,

THE MAP COLUMBUS USED.
1t Was Purely Theoretical and Placed
India Where America Lies.

1t Was Purely Theoretical and Placed
India Where America Lies.
Maps based on ascertained facts are
modern idea Prior to the age of the
discovery in which Columbus Is the
most illustrious figure, known facts were
not thought absolutely needful in the
drawing of maps. Maps were plenty;
facts for them were used as far as they
would go; 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 the
earth were only vast deserts or impen-
etrable swamps. He 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. He made it only $500
miles too little.
But after Ptolemy, about $50 A. D.,
a geographer of the church arose whose
name was Cosmas. He scorned the
blasphemous idea that the earth was
round. He laid out the whole universe
in about the shape of Saratoga trunk,
to follow the figure Of Professor Johr
Fiske.
But discoveries had been pushing east
ward across Asia. Some monks sen
out as missionaries, in about 1850 A. ID.
learned from Chinese whom they fell IL
with that on the eastern shore of Chin
