Y7N an exhaustive article in the Clio
bus, a well-known German periodical
. devoted to geography, DR.. Rudolph
Andree sums up the achievements Of the
country in regard to geography. and while
he claims that the nineteenth century
may well be termed the century Of dis
coveries, he comes to the conclusion that
it will still be the work of many years
before the surface Of the earth is known.
The unknown parts of the globe are illus
trated in series of charts in which the
terra incognita" is represented in black.
Concerning the regions around the
north pole about which nothing is known

CONTRARY TO PRECEDENT.
He Was Had and Made Good
for Fair.

'Im q loose maverick that's never
been branded!"t roared Pisen Bill,
dancing around the platform of the
station at Holy Smoke Gulch just a.
the eastern train came in. Il eat

of whoops that echoed from the sur
rounding hills and made the station
seem like leaping billow of sound, re-
lates the Washington Star.
Pisen Bill was still exuding mighty
blasts and jumping around and tell
ing how bad he was, when an under
sized, pale-haired. pink-cheeked young
man, with stopped shoulders, specta-
cles, and the general air of Massa-
chusetts student, walked up to him
and gave him a poke in the ribs with
his thumb.
"Bad, eh?" said the tenderfoot-look-
ing young man with the specs to the
amazed Pisen Bill, who loomed about
two feet over him, and looked down
upon him from that great height as
If he belonged to the squirrel species.

"Huhg' said Pisen Bill, gasping for

Country Was Done In the Six
teenth Century.

From documents recently unearth-
ed In the Vatican archives. IL appears
that an embassy OF Japanese Chris
tians visited the pope az Rome early
in the seventeenth centory. From
these documents. says the baltimore
American. G. Nitsukuri. Of the Uni-
xersity of Toxic. has drawn history,
heretofore untold, of the first Chris
fianization of Japan in the sixteenth
century. history which has interest
Of its own and which is important in
that il parallels the history Of later
and existing missionary endeaxor in
japan and China. and again empha
sizes the mistakes and difficulties which
seem peculiar TO such work. We
translate from the article by AIr. Nit
suknri in the Historische Zeitschrift:
In 1919. eight years after the "dis-
covery" Of Japan by the Portuguese,
Xavier. the apostle Of the Indies. came
into the country 10 preach the teach
iags OF Christ. and at the end OF the
century the number of Christians
reached 100000. The reasons for this
astonishing phenomenon were these:
When Xavier began his mission. Japan
was divided into countless small prin-
cipalities, continually at war with
each other. Buddhsm and ShintoisIn,
then less separated than today. were
corrupt 10 a degree. Hence The peo-
pie let themselves be readily carried
away by the fresh and sturdy Chris
tian propaganda. But a reaction
against this universal dismember-
ment OF the realm appeared. First
prince. Nobunaea. called Enemy OF
Buddha." because he attacked unspar-
ingly the powerful Buddhist monas-
feries. showed the more favor 10 the
Christian teachings. in order 10 gain
support against the Buddhist priests,
and the new doctrine spread rapidly,
especially in the southern provinces.

You won't do for minute with m.
when it comes to that bad question.
don't believe you ever saw cobra
in your life, and as to your being an
unbranded maverick, forget it. You
wouldn't know maverick from mon
goose if you saw one. You pain me,
and for two cents I'd hand you jolt
on the jaw that 'ud drive you to
painless dentist on the lope. How's
that"
Pisen Bill drew back for second or
so, and he looked so stunned that
But hold on right here.
If the veracious writer of this strict
jy veracious narrative were disposed
to follow in the footsteps of the young
persons who execute screechingly
funny stories for the colored weekly
press. he'd go on and describe how the
tenderfoot from Boston suddenly shot
out his right and caught the counter
felt Pisen Bill square in the stomach,
and how, when Pisen Bill involuntarily
bent forward, feeling of the place
where he had been hit, the tenderfoot
followed the rap up with swift left
hand jab on the point of the chin,
which would cause the great hulldng
bad man to go to the platform, where
upon the tenderfoot would pass him
a couple of swift kicks, remove his
guns fror, his cartridge belt. kiss his
hand daintily to the fallen giant and
swing upon the train as 1t moved out
of the station; whereupon all hands
would comment upon the occasional
way OF the real smart tenderfoot in
handling the bad man.
However. the writer hereof isn't
following in the footsteps of the young
persons who perform screamingly
humorous stunts for the vari-hued
comic weeklies. He doesn't have TO,
for he clings with conscientiousness
that is almost despairing to the do
main Of fact.
Such being the case
Pisen Bill drew back for a second or
so, and he looked so stunned that the
tenderfoot was inspired to hand him
another cute poke in the ribs with his
thumb.
Right at this point. and with a great
laugh that echoed hollowly and anon
reyerberafed sonorously among the
eternal hills, Pisen Bill reached down,
took the bespectacled tenderfoot from
the Back Bay district by the scruff Of
the neck. sat down on a baggage truck,
placed the tenderfoot across his vast
buclkskin-clad knee, and then for ex-
actly eight minutes by the station
clock he sounded the devils tattoo on
the frame OF that rash tenderfoot in
a manner that beat all of the child
hood recollections of the latter bear
ing upon hair brushes and carpet slip
pers IN a common canter. All of the
hangers-on around the station and the
passengers stretching their legs from
the train enjoyed the spectacle beyond
words. and Pisen Bill. from the sound
OF his Gargantuan laughter, enjoyed
Il more than any Of them. He finally
brought the shouting tenderfoot TO a
standing position. gave him couple
OF good-natured slaps on the wrist Just
for luck. and then booted him on board
the train, remarking that the next
time he passed that way and heard him
(Pisen Bill announcing himself as

him TO believe II or 10 go to the knee
for another padding. This closed the
incident, for the train Immediately
pulled out with the chagrined tender
foot.

SINKS IN
SIGHT OF
MANY.
Two -mastsd Schooner Went
Down OF Chatham Grew
Probably Safe.

Chatham, Mass, Nov. 12.--rhc people OF
this place saw a three -masted schooner
sink off port yesterday and today they
looked on hopelessly while a two-master
went TO the bottom.
The fact that the smaller schooner had
been In tow of a steamer before she
foundered gave assurance that the crew
OF the vessel probably was safe on board.
No news OF the men from the one which
sank yesterday has been received, al
though it is hoped that a passing craft
took them Off

was against tho smaller vessels and they
labored heavily.
Just as the steamer was opposite this
harbor she appeared to cast off the
schooner farthest astern and proceed with
the other alone. Hardly had the incident
been observed when IL was plain that the
cast off vessel was sinking and few
moments later she went To the bottom.
The incident took place too lar from
shore for tho identity OF either of the
vessels to be made out. 1t Is considered
practically impossible that the crew of
the schooner should not have been safely
on board the steamer.
The Monomoy life savers have just put
out TO the scene of the sinking.
