cred by Portuguese Before the
Genoese Lived.
Geographical Journal.
To sum up briefly, the shortest route from
the old world to the new is from Cape Verde
to Brazil. Winds and currents tend to carry
ship across. There is, therefore, an in
hsrent probability that Portuguese vessel
should have been driven to the Brazilian
coast. This actually happened to Cabral in
1900. 1t might have happened at any time
after ships began to round Cape Verde
That cape was first rounded in 1445. In 144S
a remarkable map was made by Blanco,
showing the most recent Portuguese discoy-
cries. On it long stretch of coast line is
Shown. southwest from Cape Verde, with an
inscription saying that it is authentic and
1,5O0 miles to the west. The only land in
such position is South America. The dis
covery must have been made between 1445
and 144S. 1t is recorded that an unknown
island was found far to the west in 1447 On
the first map dealing with the Atlantic ocean
after Blanco's map a large island is found
In the position indicated by Blanco. The
Portuguese had coed reason for not troubling
much about such an island until the papal
bull Of 1893, with its line of demarcation, when
their conduct leading to the Tordeslllas treaty
of 1494, by which the line was shifted so far
that they secured Brazil, seems to have been
based on knowledge of the existence of land
In the position of that country. Moreover,
there is evidence to show that they publicly
claimed the possession of such knowledge If
the views here set forth are tenable, the in
teresting and important result is obtained that
America was discovered by the Portuguese in
or about the very year in which Columbus Is
believed to have been born. Without remoy-
Ing one iota from the real merit of Columbus,
it would add the crowning laurel to the al
ready great glory Of that marvellous man.
Prince Henry, the navigator, who, it is par
donable to remember, was half an Englishman.

PIRATES.

China Seas.


China Seas.
Pirates, until recently, always frequented
the coast Of China. and till 1876 they con-
tinued among the Sulu group of 1872 islands,
which are scattered between Borneo and the
Philippine islands, away to the northeast, in
the East Indian archipelago with a total
area OF 94S square miles, and 75 900 inhabit-
ants, who are Malays by race and Moham-
medans In religion. These bold pirates were
the terror of the seas, though they rarely at
tackled European ships, but generally the
trading schooners manned by Malays. Every
year these Ladrones visited some part of that
archipelago robbing, destroying, killing or
capturing all whom they met with. The La
drone islands in those Eastern seas are nam
ed after them. Their vessels, called prahus,
or prows, were open boats, about so feet long,
IL feet wide and feet deep. They used a
swivel, by which they threw a one-pound
ball; but their usual plan of attack was to
throw themselves III overpowering numbers
on board their prey. The Dutch and British
were the only Europeans who did something
to suppress this piracy; but in 1876, the
Spaniards did so by taking possession of
these islands.
