PICKED OUT THE WRONG EYE

Frank E. Payne, a member of the

speed when the trucks left the rails
because of snow and sleet, and the
car was thrown to the side of the right

THE motorman was not seriously
hurt, but was cut and bruised about
the head and face by flying glass. He
was carried to physicians office
where his wounds were dressed and
bandaged. When the physician had
placed the last pin. he asked the
wounded man II he felt like he could

comparable triumphs he secured Tor
the home of his final adoption. Spain.
Latin America, too. was the area
over which his discoveries were ex-
tended, for 1t is fact that he had
no knowledge of the existence OF the
vast continent to the north of the
Caribbean sea and the West India
Islands. He had been to England
and at one time in despair had ap-
piled to the court of England to help
him in his great ambition. but his
experience and his fame were Latin.
Perhaps on this account the name
of Columbus is incorporated more
prominently in the nomenclature OF
Latin America than i'm that Of Anglo
Saxon America. The Republic of Co
lombia bears witness to the honor
with which he was held from the be-
ginnings of independence In the
western world. Today the one-time

the memory of Columbus is that i'm

COLUMBUS IN. STATUARY

Gated on November 8, 1862, although
the foundation had been laid as far
back as 1886. The inscription 1t bears
is: ITO Christopher Columbus, the
Fatherland." Spain, which country
failed the Genoese during his life
time, has been more generous to his
memory, and here are many shafts
raised to record the greatness of his
deed
Perhaps the noblest monument yet
erected to the memory of Columbus
is that which stands in Barcelona. It
was in this city that King Ferdinand
and his consort. Isabella, received
the admiral on the return from his
first voyage. 1t is most appropriate
situation. Much care was taken in
the selection of the design of the
Barcelona monument, and the result
is artistic in every sense of the
word.
In the new world nearly every
country has testified in recognition
of the deed of Columbus by the erec-
ton of some character of monument.

graces the center of Columbus circle

the first discoverer. 1t is said to be
the original monument erected on
this continent to commemorate the
achievement of Columbus.
1t is unfortunate that there is no
contemporaneous painting or likeness
Of Columbus extant. For this reason
artists who have attempted to repro
duce his lineaments in marble have
been at a great disadvantage.
AS a matter of fact the accepted
likeness of the admira, is after the
manner of being an idealistic con-
ception. All are familiar with the
strong, clean-shaven face from which
deep, expressive eyes look out under
a broad brow. The deep lines from
the nose to the corners Of the mouth
are also characteristic of the popular
portraits of Columbus. Who would
recognize the discoverer depicted
with gray beard? Yet 1t is more
than probable that he wore one
when he planted the banner of
Spain on the shores of the New
World.

which marks the spot of the sup
posed first landing on Watlings
island, We find a great number OF
statues erected in honor of the dis
coverer. Even the English have done
honor to the navigator at Nassau in
the Bahama islands and at Trinidad; /;
and the people of Santo Domingo
have also raised splendid monu-
ments; while in Cuba. where, in the
cathedral at Havana, the bones OF
Columbus were so long INFERRED
there are a great many representa-
tions of this historic figure. The
statue which is now placed in the
presidents palace, Havana, is an ar
tistic piece of work, but the most
striking efigy of all in Cuba is Vail
mitjana's sculpture depicting Column
bus In chains. 1t is to be regretted
that this beautiful work is only
clay model. The representation is
that of Columbus in his old age. He
is seated on a coil of rope on the
deck of the ship which is carrying
him to Spain. He reclines against a
capstan. his fettered hands held
before him. The artist has caught
a striking expression of resignation
combined with melancholy. The work
is a masterpiece of sentiment and ex-
preston.
Another historical group is that
which was presented by Empress Eu-
genie of France to the Republic Of
Colombia. 1t now stands at Cristo-
bal, the Canal Zone.
Throughout Latin America the ven
Grafton for Columbus is universal, and
we find his memory honored in cities
of Mexico. Colombia, Peru, Chile and
other Pan-American states.
1t Is curious to note that it was
also Latin, a F'renchman, who
erected the first monument in the
United States in honor OF the achieve
ment of Columbus. In Baltimore
there still stands a monument ersot-
ed over a century ago In honor ot

clean shaven in ef1igy. So 1t Is with
the new Columbus statue unveiled in
Washington on June s. This marks
the first great memorial which the
United States government has erect
ed to Christopher Columbus.
There has long been feeling that
this country has not had really
worthy monument to the man who Is
primarily responsible for the exist
ence of the nation.
The feeling took concrete shape
when, in 1906, Representative James
A. Goulden of New York introduced
bill appropriating the sum of $780,.
600 to be used for a Columbus memo
rial. Congress passed the bill and II
was signed in 1907 by President
Roosevelt.
The design is a combination OF
fountain shaft and statue.
The fountain is semi-circular, 70
feet wide and 65 feet from front to
rear. The balustrade which half en-
circles 1t bears the effigy of heroic
lion at either extremity. The salient
feature of the memorial is a splen
did stone shaft surmounted by q
globe. Before this shaft. which rises
in the center of the fountain circle
is statue of Columbus.
The globe which surmounts the
shaft indicates the contribution the
discovery of Columbus was to the
science of geography. This globe
is supported by four massive eagles

us, that there is no need here to re-
count the many injustices which he
suffered at the hands of his contem-
poraries. The salient fact that he
was shorn of his honors and returned
laden with chains, proves conclusive
ly the cruel contempt with which the
fearless navigator was treated in his
own day. Time rectifles many mis-
judgments, and 1t has done SO in the
case of the discoverer of America.
The wonder of his achievement is
universally recognized and the worlds,
both old and new, have testified in
many monuments TO the respect and
honor in which they hold Columbus.
The custom of preparing effgies in
stone, so that the names and achieve
ments of a nations heroes may be
passed on to posterity, finds its Or
igin in most ancient times. 1t is but
Natural that this custom should have
fbeen followed in the case of Column
bus Today we find statues erected
TO the discoverer in Italy. Spain and
France. and in nearly all OF the
countries of the new world.
