A m e RI a

records proves to have been a part of
Labrador The same Saga contains de
tailed descriptions of voyages made by
Thorfnn Karlsefni and Snorri Of ALPHA
firth to Vinland, which was part of ova
Scotia, and to MARYLAND, or Newfound-
land. In the "Vinland History of the
Flat Island Book" are descriptions of the
voyages of Left Ericsson to Vinland and
MARYLAND, which, because of details of
the narrative, such as descriptions of the
flora and fauna, the geographical peculiar
tiles and the careful nautical observations
as to direction and length of time of the
journey, are identified as Nova Scotia and
Newfoundland.
In one narrative of the Flat Island book
the first sighting of the American main
land is claimed for Biarni Herjulfson, but
as this man is mentioned nowhere III all
the rich genealogical history or tradition of
Iceland, though there is much detailed
information as to the man alleged in the
tale to be his father, the authenticity Of
t. claim is seriously questioned.
The proofs seem to establish the fact
that Left Ericsson not Columbus, was the
disCoverer of the American continent, and
the year 7, 900 is to be substituted for that
of 1892 as the beginning of American
written history

MORSE literature contains indisputable
evidence of the discovery of America
by the Northmen
The inControvertible facts of the various
Morse expeditions are that Left Ericsson
and Thorhnn Karlsefni are as surely his
toriCal characters as Christopher Column
bus; that they visited in the early part
of the eleventh century some part of North
America where the grape grew, and that
in tina r0Tion the Colonists found savageS
whose hos lily upset their plans of perma
nent settlement.
Among the Icelandic sagas are found
original narratives of American history of
an earlier date than are found elsewhere
These are the prose sagaS of the voyages of
the Mortimer to Vinland, the two most
important of which are the "Saga of Eric
the Red and the "Vinland History of the
Flat Island Book" The latter is history
composed of two disjointed accounts
found in a fine vellum manuscript known
as the Flat Island book, because it was
owned by family living on Flat Island in
Broad Firth, on the northwest coast of
Iceland.
In the "Saga of Eric the Red" is the
tale of Left Ericsson's voyage in the year

How Birds Acquire New Songs

PROFESSOR SCOTT of Princeton, con-
tinuing his study Of the songs Of birds,
presents many interesting facts tending to
prove that wild birds acquire new songs,
not in their native repertory, through i'm
itation. Everybody has heard of the pow
er of the hooking bird in this respect, but
other species seem to possess it in a high
degree For instance, a rose-breasted gros-
beak has been known, while living at lib
erty among the trees about a house, to
acquire the power to pronounce woods as
clearly as a parrot Jays, magpies, and

SOME years ago q tOpOgrapher was sent
- out from Washington to make a sur
yey Of what was then PAYNE Prairie,
Florida, bit Of land about eight by five
miles in extent The survey was made and
the prairie described. Three or four
years later a new surveying expedition
found that this land had been transformed
into a body OF water, and it was put on
the map as Lake Alachua 1t developed
that this lake-prairie plays a hide and
seek game with itself.
A Disappearing Lake in Florida
This freak is explained by the fact that
a stream loses itself in a sink at the
northern part of the prairie, and when this
sewer can carry off all the water the region
is land. When the sink cannot drain the
water accumuIates until it becomes lake.
One of the natural Curiosities of this
country is the Hampshire Ice Mountain
on the banks of North Creek, twentv-six
miles from Winchester, Va For about a
quarter of a mile the west side of this
mountain is covered with loose boulders
and stones Of light color, the mass extend
ing all the way GOWN 10 the river by
lifting these stones on any day in the year,
crystals Of ice can always be found securely
hidden in the crevices beneath.
The Dismal Swamp is not a swamp at
all, according to the usual definition of
the term. 1t stands fifteen or twenty
feet higher than the surrounding country,
and instead of receiving drainage from
rivers, is itself source Of supply to vari-
Gus streams. The climate is said to be
pure and healthful.
The northern boundary line of Della
ware is circular in form. This has been
explained by the fact that in Colonial days
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1907-04-11

crows learn to talk and whistle, and canary
birds sometimes whistle. Professor Scott
tells of yellow breasted chat that learned
to initiate the whistle of postman so per-
fectIy that, until he discovered the bird in
the act, he was frequently deceived by it.
He quotes a trusted correspondent who
tells how young duck, Matched out with
a brood of turkeys, learned their language,
so to speak, and although now quite an old
duck, "still initiates the turkeys note with
its duck voice"
This i but one of many examples.

Geographical Oddities

William Penn wanted enough land along
the western bank of the Delaware River
to give him an outlet to the sea. He pro-
cured from the Duke of York release Of
all title and claim to Newcastle, twelve
miles around it, and to the land between
this tract and the sea" This survey
described a semiCircle, and when this
particular colony became a state it still
retained the old circular boundary line.
Busy Mississippi
Because man has never been able to
make the Mississippi obedient and content
to stay in one particular channel, many
interesting geographical situations have
arisen. There are innumerable old chan
nels threading back and forth through the
forests of the lowlandS, and whenever there
IS an overflow or particularly heavy
treShet the river is quite liable to wander
off down one of these old channels and
leave some shipping point high and dry.
The town of Delta used to be three miles
below Vicksburg, but a cutoff changed
things so it is now two miles above that
point Another little place called Blues
Point was formerly located in Mississippi,
but one spring, when times were dull and
the river needed diversion, it changed its
channel and transferred Blues Point
over into Arkansas.
Another pastime in which the river in
dulges is island building A snag in the
river, the wreck of an old boat, or a sub
merged tree, is all that is needed for foun-
dation. Chicken Island near Mound City,
Arkansas, and just above Memphis, Tenn,
was caused by the sinking of the Sultana,
Union transport which exploded in mid
stream while carrying troops home from
the Civil War
