Portugal is 4 small country. with a
land area one-third less than the state

Christopher Columbus, as every
schoolboss knows. was native Of
Genoa at the time when the italian
peninsula was subdivided among. nu-
merous petty governments. John
Cabot was 5. Venetian. who sailed in.
the service Of England. as Columbus
had sailed III the service Of Spain.
Amerigo Vcspucci was a Florentine,
who sailed originally in t,ae service OF
Spain and afterwarl tra,, ;5tsc.,.sed lfim-
self to the Portuguese service and
then went back to the Spanish service
for a second time.
Vitus Bering after whom Bering
strait was called. was Dane by
birth. who served under the naval
flag Of Russia. Magellan, after whom
Magellan strait was named. was ma
tive Of Alelntejo, in Portugal, and was
the first to complete the circumnaviga-

Verazzani was a Florentine, whose
voyages Of discovery were undertaken
under the protection Of the flag Of
France. Hendrix Hudson was an
Englishman, and it seems surprising to
many persons in this day familiar with
the pre- eminence Of England as mari
time nation that he should have been
in the service of the government Of
Holland when he discovered Manhat-
tan Island.

WISCONSIN.

Cor. Davidson. with the Republican
State ticket. was elected in Wisconsin.
The Governors plurality Is upward Of
10000. and the remainder Of the State
ticket but little behind, this on one Of
the iightest votes ever east. From the
returns II Ii apparent that not much orer
two-thirds vote was cast. The apa-
thetic conditions noted before the election
were too pronounced to be overcome BY
the State central committees. The returns
from the legislative districts indicate the
Republicans will have about the same
number In each house as they have had
for the past six years, which gives them
an overwhelming majority.
