II seems an injustice to well-mean-

Indians, as earnest and serious in
their ceremonies as the people of
Oberammergau, with their play for a

preston that the Moki Indians allow
money to enter into their calcula-

Few Americans are aware of the fact
that the name of their continent is due
to a German scholar. In 1907 Martin
Waldseemuller, also known as Iyla-
comylus. of st. Die, in the Vosges,
edited 81 book called "CosmographiSe
Iutroductio," in which he gave trans
iatlon IF Amerigo Vespuccis descrip-
ton Of his voyages.
That was just the time when Ameri-
go's fame filed the world, while Column
bus disgrace overshadowed his merit.
and evidently his name had never
reached the quiet village in the Nosges
when Amerigo trumpeted forth his own
glory. So Hylacomylus proposed that,
since the new continent was, after all.
not part of the Indies, no name would
suit it better than that of his famous
explorer, Amerigo.
The book was read far and wide, and
so quickly was the proposition accepted
that, when later on the true discoverer
was known, the name was already
rooted too deeply in general use to
be abolished. and was even extended
TO the north part of the continent. while
Hylacomylus had only meant it for
the present South America.-National
Geographic Magazine.

to believe it, We could see every line

seemed as If they would move leg or
an arm. We had brought rope with
US. and | managed TO lasso a bowler
and pull myself up on level with the

least three feet Of solid ice before them.
but it was wonderfully transparent
1t was easy TO guess what had hap
pened Somewhere thousands OF miles
away. where a great glacier crept down
to the sea. the tourist had set out with
the guides to explore, and snow or ice
had given way under them and drop
ped them down perhaps hundred feet
In time the crevasse filled up solid.
and as the ice was pushed down TO the
sea a berg was born. and the corpses
were carried away with it. One could
not say from the dress how long a time
had elapsed. We must judge from the
fact that. though we reported the case
three months later. the identity OF the
tourist has not yet been discovered.
We returned to the bark to report
what we had seen. and | offered 10
take ropes and axes and blasting pow
der and return and secure the dead.
The captain favored the idea, perhaps
thinking il would profit US in some
way, but circumstance stepped in 10
prevent me from carrying out my
plan. AS we were getting ready the
berg began to revolve in slow and
stately way. and at the end of an hour
the western face had turned due
south. and such a sea was beating on
it that no landing was possible. To
make our way over the berg we
should have needed wings. The move
ment of the berg crowded the icefields.
and the result was the opening of 4
barrow lane TO the north. We were
watching and waiting for it. and the
bark was soon warped in and sail
made. We Were lucky enough to keep
this lane until ii led us quite out of
the floating ice and further danger.
and looking back as we sailed every
man of the crew saw the figures as
the three of US had seen them. The
spray seemed to dash against their
frozen faces and the waves TO rant
and growl like hungry wolves, but we
knew they would not be given to the
sea until their strange coffin had drift
ed out of that frozen and desolated
sea into sunshine and warmth.

The Best Man.

For the origin of the best man at g
wedding" we must go back many cen
turtles. to days when 1t was the anna
BILE practice Of the budding bridegroom
to dispense with the consent either OF
the lady or her father. He simply
waited for a suitable opportunity &c
capture her and make a bolt with bis
bride. In this enterprise he found IL
helpful TO have the services OF friend
who would assist him In the capture
and keep the pursuers at bay until be
had got a sufficiently long start This
friend was the prototype OF the "besf
man" of our own unromantic day.
when his duties are limited to seeing
that the bridegroom doesn't leave the
ring behind him or leave the church
without taking his hat with him. How
times do change.

We had been driven below Cape
Horn hundreds Of miles by fierce
gale lasting eleven successive days and
nights, and one morning we found our
selves among the ice and almost
wrecked aloft. The gale had blown
itself out. but the situation was one

the keenest vigilance. Only steam

The odds would be a thousand TO one

pieces in ten minutes, but we had to
take them While we helplessly waited
the field struck a berg which was esti-
mated to be a solid cube measuring
about 1000 yards on every front and
towering up over a hundred feet high.
There was grand crash. and the berg
began to slowly topple. 1t was like
tree falling. only much slower. 1t took

widened, and, descending by the aid of
a strong rope, he rescued two piggies
