r ARCO POLO, the original globe
M trotter," finished his earthly
travelling 587 years ago today
June 81, 1924. During the 70 years
of his life he had seen more of the
world than any man Of his day, or Of
any previous day, and after the lapse
of nearly six centuries the influence
of his work is still felt among ex-
plorers, scientists and other promoters
of civilization
Marco Polo was born in 1854, in
Venice. OF noble ancestry, he cared
nothing for the gIittering distinctions
and hollow delights of his class, and,
turning abruptly away from the aristo-
cratic circle in which he was born, he
set out upon the travels and explora-
lions which were destined to make
him famous, and, at the same time, 10
add so much TO the knowledge and
happiness of those who were to come
after him.
Polo was the first to trace a route
across the whole of Asia, naming and
describingN country after country,
which he had seen with his own eyes
He was the first to reveal China IL
its wealth and vastness; the first to
tell of Tibet, Burmah. japan, Java,
Sumatra and the other islands Of the
great archipelago, not as a dreamland
of fable. but as countries actually
seen and studied; the first to give
distinct account Of Abyssinia. Zanzibar
and faraway Madagascar. That all this
rich catalog of discoveries should be-
long to the revelation Of one man IS
ample ground to justify a very high
place in the roll Of fame.
Indeed. a large proportion of the old
world modern travellers and explorers
have been simply developing what
Marco Polo outlined. They have mere
ly been travelling in his footsteps and
maturing his suggestions.
During the war between Venice and
Genoa, Polo was captured and impris-
oned. and it was in his cell in Genoa
that he dictated to fellow prisoner
the record Of his travels a work that
aroused universal interest in geogra-
ply and that is supposed to have given
the great Columbus the inspiration that
led up to the discovery Of the new
world
Marco PoIo's work was the first book
Of travel to be based on solid facts.
rather than Imagination and theory.
The grand old Venetian told not what
he had dreamt, but what he had ac-
tuaily seen, and the story made Eu-
rope "sit up and think"
1t is claimed in certain quarters
that it was Polo who brought to Eu-
rope the first knowledge of the mari
ner's compass, gunpowdeT and print
ing. but even though this claim be
disputed, enough remains to make Mar
co Poles name one of the most Illus
trious in the history of the race.
