KING NEcHo'S MARINERS.
New Light Thrown on a Voyage De
scribed by Herodotus.

HerGdOtus tells in the fourth book of
his history how Africa was circumnavl-
gated from Egypt in the reign OF King
Necho, in the sixth century Is. c.. and
though he was skeptical about the
story himself, it has now received indie
pendent confederation. Herodotus tells
the story thus:
"Necho sent to sea number of ships
manned by l'ho"nicianS, with orders 10
make for the Pillars of Hercules, and
return to Egypt through them and by
the Mediterranean. The Phoenicians
took their departure from Egypt by
way of the Red Sea. and so sailed INTO
the Southern Ocean. When autumn
came they went ashore, wherever they
might happen to be, and. having soWn
a tract of land with corn, waited Until
the grain was fit to cut. Having rcaped
it, they again set sail. And thus 1t
came to pass that two whole years
went by. and it was not till the third
year that they doubled the Pillars of
Hercules and made good their voyage
home On their return they declared -
for my part do not believe them, but
perhaps others may-that in sailing
round I,ibya (Africal they had the sun
upon their right hand. In this way
was the extent of Libya first discOv
cred"
The very circumstance that seemed
to Herodotus increditibie is proof of
the truth of the narrative. 1t simply
means that when the circumnavigators
got south of the equator they found the
sun at noon in the nOrth-on their right
hand when sailing westward-instead
of in the south, where HerOdotus and
those Of his time believed it must al
ways he.
The story of this wonderful voyage
surely the most wonderful in the
worlds history, excepting only that of
Columbus-is now confirmed, and the
exact date fixed from an Egyptian
source A scarab lately obtained by
the Gerinct Museulr. in Paris, bears
an inscription which tells how King
Nccho sen; out a messenger to sail
around the unknown land. He carried
out the command. and returned by VA
ter to BubaStes, whence he had set out,
and he related to the king all the Won
.l"rs he had seen. BY comparison with
another scarab i is possible to fix the
date exactly as 90 B. c. The coolest
imagination must be fired by this Won
derful euterpyiSe--the exploration of
Is, 700 miles of unknown coast line in
such vessels as were then available
and if Hcrodus il right as to the dura-
ton of the voyage they did not make

Mr.. Bryan has bestowed the Ananias
degree upon his erstwhlle great and
good friend Hearst He asserts with
considerable temper that he never
promised to support Hearst for the
Presidency in 1912 if Hearst would sup
port him in 1908. Mr.. Hearst. how
ever. insists that he did, and in the
presence of at least one other party.
The fact remains. however. that Mr..
Hearst is not supporting Mr.. Bryan. so
that is evidence that, even it such a
deal were suggested, it failed to be
conSummated.

Returning Prosperity.

The cause of Organism has always
prosrered most upon the country's ad-
versity and its most potent cry has
been the calamity howl. 1t is not sur
prisirg, therefore, that the increasing
signs of reviving business from all
parts of the country are unwelcome to
Mr.. Bryan and his followers. To
most people the hum of returning in
dustry has music of it's own, but to
Mr.. Bryan it is a dirge, because every
increased wheel that turns, every add
good prices. is an argument against
the sophistries by which he is attempt
ing to gain political power in this
country. His doctrine has been the
doctrine of discomfort; it has been the
doctrine that has appealed to class
prejudice and class hatred and which
has found it's best opportunities in
times of financial and industrial de-
preston. Therefore, it is not surpris-
ing that Mr.. Bryan and his followers
are doing their best to distract public
attention from the fact that prosperity
is now returning in full force.
Said NJ. c. Huyette, Buffalo represen-
tativc of the Murphy Iron Works:
1.-The country needs steady hand at
the wheel just now. 1t needs Taft. To
anyone who has studied the situation
it is plain that the workingman who
votes against protection is voting
bindly Whatever may be said in ia
vor of Bryan, he is a theorist. He has
never been on the constructive or
productive side of life E. r. Thomas,
president of the Thomas Motor Car
Company, entertains much the same
views. Said he: ITO lower the tariff
to a revenue basis on automobiles
would mean ruination to the industry
or reducing wages of the workingman
There are no two ways about it
French mechanics get from 10 to Il
cents an hour and in Germany the
same scale practically prevails, while
1 in Buffalo pay ordinary labor q
cents an hour and the best from 50 t.
so cents an hour French manufac-
turers are establishing plants in Italy
where labor is paid from to II cents
an hour. Twenty-one automobile fac
tories have been established in Milan
