FIRST VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD.
Magellan's TriumphaI Progress and
It's Fatal Termination.

Ma8e1IanS Trtumpna1 FrOBre1B ana
Its Fatal Termination.
With an expedition spleDdidly furnished
by Emperor Charles V, Magellen set sail
on Aug 10, 1919. He crossed the Atlantic,
touched at the bay of Rio de Janeiro,
made his way southwark, repressed saw
agely a dangerous mutiny, and on Oct 81
entered the strait which bears his name
On Nov. % he passed out of it with only
three of his five vessels left and found
himself and his rejoicing crews in the
Pacific. He felt that he had succeeded,
but he had miscalulated the vast extent of
the new ocean and, sailing on for days
and days, in some fashion missed the
countless islands of the Pacific and did
not see land until he reached the little
group which he called the Ladrones be-
cause the inhabitants stole boat from
him. There he fingered a short time, ei-
ther at Rota or in the curious harbor Of
Guahan.
From the Ladrones, which were discov-
cred March 6, 1881, the weary voyage was
continued until new archipelago was
reached, on the fifth Sunday of Lent.
Gradually the magnitude of this new dis
covery became apparent and Magellan
named the new group in honor of st. Laz-
arus, on whose day 1t was discovered.
They landed on Mindanao, made their
way to Cebu, hattered themselves that
they had converted and subdued the in
habitants, and then, becoming involved
in tribal war, Magellan was killed, and
his chosen successor, Serrano, was left be-
hind to death and torture.
Two ships escaped, one going east, and
one, the Victoria, under Elcano, which
left Timor ON Feb. IL, sailing still to the
westward. On Sept. 6, 1929, after many
hardships and perils, the:Victoria reached
Spain, and great voyage, the first which
circled the globe, second only to that Of
Columbus in conception and beyond all in
the daring displayed and the distance trav-
ersed, came to an eud.-Harper's Maya
zine.

1t Is not realized here how proud-in
deed arrogant-thc Chinese are. The idea
that any other race is equal to their OWL
is one that cannot find place in theil
brains They believe all foreigners to be
a sort of savaScs. They look Mt European
men and women mixing together and be.
licve that these sayagcs have no morals,
but live in u rough sort of promiscuity.
They look ut our dress, our men with
short coats and neither garments showing
their two legged forms, our women actu
ally clearly indicating their waists and
much of the outline of their figure, and
they believe we arc without decency.
They do not see us observing their cere

manners.
A recent minister, accredited to Ger
many, was talking to Sir Robert Hart be
fore leaving Picking and, on the latter's
regretting his lonely condition without
his wife, said to him, "Ah, but, of course
you have a No. =. Sir Robert proceeded
to explain that such a course was impos
sible to him, us it would make his wife
very angry and indeed arouse the sovcr

The head waiter institution is among
the odd customs of Austria. In every no.
tel, restaurant, cafe or other resort where
food or drinks are sold there is function
airy who goes about among the guests, rs
they summon him with the word "bezah-
len" and collects the pay for what they
have drunk or eaten. Each man tips him
to the extent of or 10 per cent of the bill.
No other waiter can receive any money
except personal tip. The head waiter
gets no salary for his services. On the
contrary, he often pays the proprietor a
good sum for the place. He is held re-
sponsible for everything-eatables, drink
ables, crockery, glassware, silvcrware; In
hotels, even for room rent, carriage hire
and broken windows His compensation
comes from the tips, which sometimes
amount to many Thousands of guldens n

LYNN'S FLOATING BRIDGE.

In Use For n Century md Growing
Better All the Time.
A new set of three inch planks Is re-
quircd every third year in replanking the
floating bridge on Glenmere pond. Few
people of the hundreds who cross the
bridge daily have any idea of its great
thickness which has been proved by re-
cent soundings to be as much as II feet in
some places. Although SO much thicker
and heavier than when first built, it seems
to have lost none of its flexibility and al
ways adapts itself instantly to any changes
in the level of the water.
Floating bridge is one of the curiosities
of Lynn, and it is claimed to be the only
structure of it's kind i'll the world. In
1908 bridge Of somewhat similar design
was built ross Lake Quinsi Samond, near
Worcester, bufit WAS constructed simply
of two tiers of logs covered with planks
and was ,yer satisfactory. The Lynn
bridge, on TIE other hand, has been in con
slant use tor nearly century and Is
stronger no! than ever, as the wood does
not rot uI:;Cr water, and the pine logs
which form. the foundation are us firm as
ON the day when they were hcwed and put
together.
Captain Moses Brown was the originator
of the idea Of thus bridging Collins pond
as it was then called. In March, 1902, q
charter WIS granted to the Salem Turn
pike and Chelsea Bridge corporation, and
the bridge was completed in 1904 at a cost
of 500, 400. A diver has Investigated the
foundations of the structure and has found
that the original bridge was made of five
layers of Pine, laid at right angles to each
other The first two layers of pine logs were
on one side and the upper three of hewI
timber one foot square, tho whole secured
together by three inch bowels and covered
with planking so feet iick.
The bridge is 81 1 feet long, 90 feet wide
and the pond which it crosses is about II
acres in area and about I'll feet above the
sea level. The bed of the pond appears tC
be bed of quicksand, and it would be
very difficult to build u road around the
pond without making n very long detour
owing to the Doggy nature of the soil
The bridge is kept from tipping over by
being moorcd at the ends, imbcdded in
long trenches dug in the shores of the
pond ut the approachcs.-Bos Tran
scriOt
