to give "a new world to CASTLE and Leon.'
For many years Columbus followed the
life of a sailor of fortune on the Mediter-
ranean. engaging in all manner of VEN
lures, from the most peaceful to the most
warlike. For years he sailed with a daring
mariner named Colombo, or with q fighting
relative of the same, known as Colombo
the younger. His last service on the Medi-
serranean was with the latter bold rover.
Colombo the younger waylaid four richly
laden Venetian galleys off the coast of
Portugal. and a bloody battle ensued that
lasted an entire day. The vessels grappled
each other, and the crews fought hand to
hand, and from ship to ship. The vessel

Talavera was, therefore. unable to fill his

been made to prove him of noble %extrac-

achievements, and his life marks an epoch
in the material advancement of the world.
The very date of his birth is uncertain. but
he was born at Genoa about the year 1896.
The complexion of the times, if that ex
preston be allowable, was more favorable
than ever before to the natural tendencies
of mind of one like Christopher Columbus;
and the soil on which he was born could
not have been better fitted to give them ali
ment and vieor until their full maturity.
A boy of Genoa, he sucked in with his
mothers milk a taste for the sea and for a
sailors life. The first impressions on his

confined to the states; individuals, noble
and plebeian, organized and maintained
ships and fleets, and under the pretext of
defending their hereditary or acquired
rights, plundered any merchant vessel that
CHANGED to fall in their way. To the sys.
tenn that then and there prevailed we now
attach the name of piracy. Not only did
this life render men hardy and intrepid,
but it did more; it made them sailors, and
and that in its broadcast sense of tho term.
In this rough maritime school,, where
charts were few and dangers many, Chris
TOPPER Columbus grew to manhood. While
it served to dobase many of his com radss,

were Of the sea. His city had sprung
and grown from the sea; the sea supported
it; its glory was on the sea. On the side of

a chain of high mountains, it seemed cut
off from the continent and forced to the
sea for it's sole occupations: and the sea
spread broad and inviting before it. The
most wealthy, powerful and noble families
had won their wealth. their power and their
