THE DISCOVERY or AMERIoA.
The Amount ofIsabella' s Contribution
and the Salary of Columbus.

In connection with the widespread in
terest taken in Germany regarding the
worlds fair at Chicago a number of the
papers of that country have entered upon
a discussion of the probable cost of the
discovery of America.
The cost" writes Prof, Ruge in the
Globus, "of the armament of the first
fleet of Columbus, consisting Of three
small vessels, is given in all the docu-
ments as 10000 maravcdis What this
sum represents in our own money how
ever, is not 50 easy to determine as the
opinions upon the value of a naravedl
vary greatly, The marayedi-the name
is of Moorish Origiu-was a small coin
used at the end of the fifteenth century
and the beginning Of the sixteenth cen
fury All prices were expressed IN
maravedis even if they ran into the mill
lions. 1t is, however. fact well known
that almost all coins which continue to
bear one name decrease in value in the
course of centuries. The Roman silver
deuarius sank finally TO common copper
coins, known in France as dermcr.' i'm
England as ID and Germany as 'pfenuig.
The original gulden- gold, as the name
indicates-has long since become a silver
piece which nowhere has the value Of 30
cents. So, also, the value Of the maravedi
became less and less until a century ago
it was hardly equal to a piennig Tone
quarter Of a cent?. One may also reason
backward that it was much more valuable
four centuries ago
"Ruge come to the conclusion, after the
examination Of various DEGREES Of Ferdi-
nand, That the value of a marayedi was
about 2.56 pfennis, or less than three
quarters of "A cent in modern money
Therefore the contribution OF / ,l40, 900
maravcdis made by Queen Isabella was.
he says, 30, lS4 marks, or about ST. 29G,
without taking into consideration the
higher purchasing power OF money in
Columbus days. The city of Paos also, -
adds the article, chad 20 furnish out Of
its own means two small ships manned
for twelve months. The cost to the state
therefore, of the journey Of discovery was
not more than $4,000 marks $1,000. OF
this sum the admiral received an annual
salary of $50 marks (S320) the captains
Martin, Juan aud Anton Perez, each 16S
marks 500 the pilots 542 to GA marks
each ($l2S to St6.0, and a physician only
1913 marks and co pfennigs (SsS so. The
sailors received for the nccessaries Of
life, etc, each month ducat, valued az
375 maravedis, about 8 marks and 60
pfennigs go 49,"

been in actual service over sixty years
Among other historical locomotives is
the Rocket the first locomotive to be
used on the Philadelphia and Reading
road 1t was built by Stephenson in Eng
land in 1885. and imported here in 1896.
The Dragon, an old Baldwin locomotive

Mason locomotive of 1852, an original
Winans camel of 1850, a Perkins 10
wheeler of 1862, and Baltimore and Ohio

passenger mogul engine ever built. These,
together with other historical locomo-
tives, were forwarded in a siXteen-car
train some two weeks ago, and full size
reproductions of motive power dating
back to 1880 will show the evolution and
development TO the present day.
The modern types include an S-wheel
