lation now, We're first coined in 1854.
None Of them bears premium except
the issue of 1877, which is valued at s
cents. Some of the old fashioned half
cents are high priced. On a basis of
"good" condition the half cent Of 1895 is
worth SIS. The issues of 1881, 1885, 1910,
1S4S, 1s49 and 1851 fetch So each, while
those of 1898, 1875 and 1902 we pay 81
apiece for. None of the nickel cents is
worth premium except that of 1856,
with a flying eagle, which you Can sell
for 81. A 5 ceat nickel of 1877 is worth

market value of Is cents; there is no
premium on those of any other year.
Nickel 8 cent pieces 1877 we pay rs

and some had been condemned to death
and VOLUNTEERED as bare chance for life.
Our astonishment is hut slightly miti.
gated when we read that Columbus did
not ask for large vessels, for there were
many in the Spanish ports larger than
these. He armly believed that the
voyage would be comparatively short
and the sea where he was going always
smooth, and he particularly requested
such vessels as would enable him to run
close in along the shores and sail up the
rivers. On his third voyage. when he
actually reached South America, he
complained of the size of his vessel.
which rendered coast exploration diff
cult.
The Spanish authorities declare that
the Santa Maria of 1892 is an exact re-
production in every detail OF that OF
1492. 1t Has the same old fashioned
shape, the same primitive masts, rig
gings and sails and even the same ar
mament of falconets and 1nortars, hal
herds and arquebuses. The cabin of the
commander is furnished in the style of
the Fifteenth century, and its. table is
Uttered with maps, documents and nau-
teal instruments of the period. Final
ly, its mastheads are decorated with the
royal standards of Castillo and Leon, in
exact imitation of the flags which Co
lumbns planted in the New World on
Oct. 12, 1909. The vessel is manned by
an excellent crew, obtained from among
the fishermen and sailors of Cadiz and
San Fernando, and placed under the
orders of a detachment of officers Of the
royal navy.
At the opening of the Spanish fetes,
on Aug. 3, the war vessels of all nations
were at Huelva to salute the new Santa
Maria on her first voyage down the river,
and her entrance into the Bay of Cadiz
was greeted by deafening salvos. AS
there was almost dead calm, however,
she had to be taken in tow by a gunboat.
which marred the representation some
what. Later, however, she sailed out
beautifully on the route taken by Column
bus, and returned to receive renewed
salutes. At this naval congress of ma
tions the fact was humorously COM
mented on that Columbus took with him
for interpreter scholar who knew Lat
in, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Coptic and
Armenian, in addition to Spanish; that
this learned gentleman was a failure in
the New World, and that the first to
master any of the Indian tongues were
the most iilitcrate sailors. But this is
an oft repeated experience.

Ponce de Leon, while on his famous
search for the fountain of youth, 1uade
the discovery of the gulf stream. The
whalers of New England were the first
to gain a fairly accurate knowledge of
the limits of the current between Amer
lea and Europe by following the haunts
of the whales, which were found north
of one line and south Of another, but
never between the two. This, they rea-
soned, was the gulf stream current.
Benjamin Franklin received this in
formation from the whalers and pub
lished it on chart for the benefit of the
mail packets plying between England
and the colonies. The chart was first
issued about 1910, but was not accepted
by the English captains. Before it came
to be generally known and used the
trouble between England and the COL
onies began, and Franklin, knowing the
advantage the knowledge would be to
the British naval officers, suppressed it
all he could until hostilities ceased

It is indeed hard to believe that the
little caravel of $40 tons at the outside
could have made such a voyage, and
when one compares it with the large
sailing vessels of today he may we'll be
incredulous. With the achievements
of steam and practical science we are
tolerably familiar, but the fact then
Though sailing vessels antedate written

is as great as in anything else) comes to
one as a 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 few months ago
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 vessel and equivalent to
166, 1888 bushels, OF the crop of an aver.
age agricultural county. An adequate
description of the Shenandoah would
fill a column. Sailer as she is, 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 none 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 perceptibly to her
weight of cargo. She was decked YES
sci, and while the Spanish historians do
not deal in exact measurements they are
so minute in details Of her capacity that
her size is known. Captain Gustavus
W. Fox, after very careful calculation.
declares that her length was 1853 feet
over all and 81 feet along her keel"
with 30 feet beam and 1917 feet in depth.
Her crew consisted of fifty seamen, and
in the list are found the names Of one
Englishman- and one Irishman. 1t is
really pity that this list is not certain
ly authentic; it would be interesting to
know the name of the first Irish emil
grant to America. This historic vessel
was wrecked on Christmas eve, 1892, on
the coast of Hispaniola, a calamity due
to the gross carelessness of the sailing

the embrasures; one was captured and the
other took one look and backed out again,

shooter
But such deadlocks cannot last forever,
and it lay with Benjamin to break it, Dur
ing the supreme crisis he coolly smoked a
pipe that he had freshly lit just as the at
tack began, and gave orders to his men
suited to the movements of the enemy
outside. When the flags appeared on the
crest of the parapet and he knew that the
ditch was filling with assailants, he began
to pitch shells with lighted fuses over
among them. A captain of the Highland
ers held blazing brand, the fuses were
cut close, then Lit at the brand and the
missile whisked over into the luckless
crowd. ''There, that will cool them off
some" he would say blandly,-as he tossed
lighted shell over the bank ON it's deadly
errand. Benjamin's cannon swept the
ditch once or twice with canister. But
fresh. assailants continually poured into it
until it was crowded with men, and there
was for the fellows penned in there no
getting out of the way of the murderous
grenades except by retreat. This at last
they did sullenly, leaving the three flags
on the parapet. The flag of the Sixteenth
Georgia is now in the war department col
lection of captured fags.)
The prisoners taken fron4the ditch and
the killed and wounded in front of the fort
outnumbcred the whole garrison three to
one. The unhurt prisoners were $50; the
dead and wounded in the ditch were 200,
nearly all of the wounded being mortally
hurt. The stump field in front was also
covered with victims who fell in the charge,
and Benjamin estimated that at least 1000
were cut down between the starting point
and the parapet Of the fort. The loss in
the garrison was killed and wounded,
and in the adjacent Union lines about the
same number.
The Confederate leaders speculated for
some time about following up the charge
with fresh columns, but changed their
minds and called the battle off AS it was,
the actual clash of arms lasted but fifteen
minutes, and if it had been continued to
the average length of battles with the same
rate of slaughter, Nov. 90, 1868, might
have rivaled on the Confederate side the
bloodiest Sundays Of the war.
Benjamin was the hero of the day, and
rapidly won promotion until lie became
chief Of artillery in the Ninth Army corps.
He went through the siege of Petersburg
and died in the regular service in 1886.
