tween the two hemispheres is occu-
pied by a rough sketch of Magellan
Strait, with the following legend:
'Vitoria Haec est sofa navis quae al
hisp pvenit mense Septem-
bri ammo natali Xhrvi die 1922" etc.
/ A flag is distinctly, and the outline
of ship family, visible. This legend
is, to all appearances, coeval with, and
by the same hand as, the map itself,
from which there can be no doubt that
the latter was drawn after the arrival
of the Vittoria one of the five ships of
the Magellan expedition, at st. Lucar
on Sept. 6. 1922. Mr.. Rayenstein is
inclined to believe that these polar
hemispheres were drawn in Spain i'm
mediaetly after the return of the Wit
toria, and, if so, they are the earliest
known example OF the employment OF
the equidistant polar projection, until
now believed to have. been employed
for the first time by Mercator who has
hitherto been regarded as the father
of modern geography in an inset of
his famous chart of 1869, thus giving
Mr.. Voynich's find priority of forty
seven years. These are, in brief, the
facts relating to this very remarkable
discovery. AS to why or for what
purpose the map was drawn at all it
would, perhaps, be idle to speculate;
the natural assumption is that it was
drawn to illustrate work, which was
never printed, on Magellan's expedi-

TRAYS MATCH THE TABLES.
New Designs are in Glass Trimmed
With Wood.

Very charming trays are being
shown in the stores to meet an in
creased demand for them. The GUS
tom of keeping the tea table set is
decreasing in favor, for, while about
the array there is an air of hospitality,
the practical element is wanting. With
the best of care, it is difficult to keep
the utensils free from dust and ready
for use at any moment as long as they
occupy a position in the living room.
Most persons now keep 4 tray set
with everything needtul in the china
closet, and have it brought to the tea
table as occasion demands.
Glass trays trimmed with wood like
the tables and of shape and size like
their tops are requirements of new
afternoon tea outfits. When in posi-
ton, the only evidences of the trays
are their handles at the ends, the carv-
ing, inlaying or polish of the tables
showing through the glass covering.
securely protected. For rooms fitted
in mission or other quaint furniture.
there are all sorts of oddly shaped
stands, some of which are only pedes-
tails for the oriental brass trays which
they are made to fit.
The most popular tea tables are the
two-story kind, which are not only or
namental but convenient for both the
service of dainty repasts and the dis.
play of bric-a-brac. One of this kind
which is oblong. has a narrow shelf
raised on slender brackets ten inches
above its top and half encircling it.
Another has a second top elevated a
foot and half above the first. On the
upper one is the mahogany-edged
glass tray. equipped with the tea SER
vice, Below are the caddy and other
supplementary dishes.

SHEPHERDS AMBITION.

To Make Washington the Most
Beautiful City in the World.
In some reminiscent talk about the
late Alexander b. Shepherd, published
in the New Orleans Picayune, Judge
John Clegg of the Crescent City
says
"All this is Incidental to prophetic
remark Mr.. Shepherd made to me one
night, and which has come true in
every detail. We were coming away
from the Varieties club. He and |
were walking together over to the
hotel. He, half in jest, asked me if l
thought / could afford to be seen
walking on the streets with him, con-
sidering the imputations and denunci-
ations under which he was resting.
But he continued, If ! am not
driven out of Office too soon, | am
going to make Washington the most
beautiful city On the globe. My pur-
pose and ambition in life are to make
Washington the proudest capital of
all the nations of the earth And he
has done it. His prophecy has come
true Although ousted by congress in
the end, his work was done, and, al
though he was driven to Mexico a
poor man, his fame was already estab-
lished. And many of the same men
and the same people who denounced
him most bitterly are today consider
ing the erection of handsome monu-
ment to his memory"

ACQUITTED.

The expected has happened. and Mol
ineux has been acquitted. 1t took the
jury but few minutes to acquit him,
and he had been acquitted by the
larger jury Of the people before the
jury Of twelve took his case. He is
lucky to be alive if it is luck to live
If he had not had fond and strong
father and IL that father had not been
able to get strong lawyers for his son,
there might long ago have been diff
ferent ending Of the case. The whole
affair shows what can be done. The
State of New York has spent a large
sum of money to convict a man who
has been declared innocent. The pros
ecutor for the State has worked, as
prosecutors in this country often do,
with persistent and even violent intent
to convict his man. Witnesses have
been paid large sums for their testi-
mony, and experts" have had a high
old and much confused time. The re-
suit is a fiat failure for the prosecu-
ton, with the jury and the public con-
WINGED that it wouldn't be right to cleo
trocute cat on such evidence as has
been presented.
If Molineux has been wholly innocent
he has had a most unfortunate expert
ence with the law. If an innocent man
can be compelled to go through what
he has gone through in order to satisfy
theory or add to prosecutors repu-
tation it is very hard. If an innocent
man can be skillfully brought as near
the punishment of death as he was it
| is enough to make anybody shudder
and fear. Fortunately such cases are
rare, and the law and its agents are
not so dangerous as they appear to
many who have watched this case.
Everybody will be glad for the faith
full and sturdy old father who is at
last able to rejoice in the. freedom OF
his son, and everybody will hope that
his latter days will be cheered by the
son for whom he has done so much.
Meanwhile poor Mrs. Adams continues
to be dead, and there doesn't seem to
be good prospect that her foul TAX
ing-off will ever be avenged by the
law.

HoE THEY DO lily CHM.

An English newspaper published in
Shanghai gives some interesting facts
concerning the extortion practised by
Chinese officials under pretence Of col
lecting Cor the indemnity TO be paid
to the united European Powers. a
correspondent writes from Hang Chau.
in the rich province of che-kiang.
whose allotted share Of the indemnity
was s1.490.OOO. Under cover of collect
ing this sum. he says. the officials
strained every nerve to raise addi-
tionaI taxes in every direction. AT
first there was a cry that the amount
was too large: officials, merchants,
scholars and people all doubted if it
could be raised. But, as a matter of
fact, the whole province has increased
its tax receipts for the year by more
than four million dollars. The increase
in the likin alone gave $1.40o,00O, or the
whole amount required; the increase in
the salt revenue was 100000: in the
tax on pawnshops and other bust
nesses, 100000; in that on wine in a
single district 100000; in the house.
tax, 100000; and so forth. In fact,
more than three times the amount due
for indemnity has been collected, and
the people have been told by the Off
Gals that all this money is needed to
satisfy the greed of foreigners. Thus
the hatred of Europeans is created
and fostered. AS the editor of the
Shanghai journal observes. IF this is
the case in a rich and contented prov
ince like Che-kiang, what will be the
certain result in poorer provinces,
where drought and famine have al
ready made the people ripe for turbul-
ence and riot?"

A case which is on in Michigan and
which is going into the United States
courts indicates that there may be cir
cumstances in which it is not safe to
accept a certified check. A man named
Andrews drew check on the City saw
ings bank Of Detroit for $4,000, and this
was certified by the paying teller of the
bank as good, in which form 1t was paid
to Curry & Co., who Endorsed it and
turned it into the First national bank
of Detroit to their credit. It turned ont
that Andrews had no balance at the
savings bank, which institution had be-
come insolvent through the operations
of Andrews. The First national bank
accordingly, being unable to collect
from the savings bank, brought suit
against Curry & Co. for the amount of
the check which had been placed to
their credit. The latter contended that
the savings bank was the real defend
ant in the case and that the First ma
tional should recover there if at all.
The judge of the trial court ordered a
verdict for the plaintiff, saying that as
Andrews had no balance ct the savings
bank at the time of the certification the
check was fraudulent and the certifica-
ton of no effect.
1t will be important to know what the
higher courts have to say about this
matter. Bankers and business men
will await the final decision with inter-
est.

TROUBLE IN PATERSON.

Troubles have begun to brew in Pat
erson, New Jersey. 1t is not anarchy
this time that does the mischief, but
love. which some think is as bad as
anarchy. The superintendent of the
Paterson schools is disturbed because
so many of his schoolma' ans are get
ting married that he is short of teach
ers. Last spring, when the schools
closed, about a dozen teachers notified
him that they did not care to teach
any more, as they expected to be mar
ried soon. He did not mind that much,
as he thought that there were plenty
of other teachers who would like to be
advanced and applicants who would be
glad to get positions, Therefore he sent
his good wishes. But when recently
other teachers began sending in their
designations on the ground that they
were going to be married he realized
that unless the drift toward matrimony
SuOulu cease some Oh the DOyS anu SlTiS
Of Paterson might be left without in
structors. Fully a dozen teachers have
been led to the altar since the autumn
term began, and there are others who
are expecting to be so led soon.
The unhappy superintendent can't
seek out-of-town teachers, because the
school commissioners are opposed to
anything but local talent" If he
could he would be all right, for no mat
ter how eagerly the teachers continued
to be. snapped up by the appreciative
Paterson men the supply would be full
ly equal to the demand. 1t is pity
that Paterson love cannot be more gen.
orally utilized. There are many teach
ers in other places than Paterson who
would make good wives for loving and
aspiring men of that town.

The Kansas City Journal thus cele-
brates the passing of a politician: The
setting sun east it's red beams upon the
figure Of a solitary horseman pursuing
his way along barren valley. The
horse was old and bony, and its lowered
head and uncertain steps betokened a
state Of great WEAKNESS The man in
the saddle was scantily clothed and his
shoulders were drawn together as
though his diaphram shrank involun-
tarily from the crisp November wealth
er. Yet about the dilapidated pair there
was an air of having seen better days.
The shambling gait Of the horse could
not conceal those marks of the thor
oughbred which stand for speed and
endurance. Ever and anon the lonely
man Strengthened himself in his saddle
and looked about the dreary landscape
with glance which gave some appear
ance af animation. But it was only for
the moment, and the sun went down
with its last rays glinting upon a des-
olate pair on q desolate road going
painfully into the darkness. And so in
Kansas passed the Hon. Webb McNall,
astride of Old Fluke, on his way to Salt
river.
