who had the same idea, among them
being John Cabot. Full of this idea,
he moved to London about 1884. He
submitted his proposition to the lead
ing merchants Of Bristol, England,
and met instant encouragement.
For many years Cabot tried to carry
out his plans to reach Asia by sail
ing west; but all his attempts ended
in failure. And then in 1893 the news
reached England that sailor named
Columbus had reached the East In
dies by sailing westward. Cabot and
his hackers Immediately decided to
accomplish the same thing, and on
May 2, 1497, he set out with Sebastian,
two other sons, of whom nothing is
known, and eighteen men, in little
ship called the Mathew.
At last, after being fifty-two days at
sea, at o'clock on Saturday morning,
June "a, l497, they reached the north
ern extremity of Cape Breton Island
North America had been discovered;
but John Cabot, finding the soil fer
tile and the climate pleasant, was
firmly convinced that he had reached
the northeastern coast of Asia, from
where came the silks and precious
stones that he had seen at Mecca. The
royal banner was unfurled, and in
solemn form he took possession of the
country in the name of King Henry
VII of England.
On his return to Bristol in August
he fastened to court, where the king
gave him $50 for having found the
new isle" The following year Cabot
made second voyage of discovery.
hoping this time to secure some of
the tabled riches of the East. But
he sailed too far to the north, and
was finally forced to return without
having realized his dream. He died
the same year, 149S
His son Sebastian was born at Bris-
tol, England, in 1477, and accompa-
MED his father on his first voyage to
North America. After the death of
John Cabot, Sebastian made many
voyages to both North and South
America. He died in 1857.

On a certain day in February, 1892,
there rode along the narrow pass at
the foot of Mount Elvira, a few miles
from Granada in Spain, man with
his head bowed low over his breast.
The little mule he was riding STUN
bled along YEARLY. Suddenly behind
him he heard the noise OF swiftly gal
looping hoofs. But he did not raise his
mead. But when the single hurrying
horseman drew alongside at last and
slowed down, the rider of the mule
looked up to see who it was, There
followed hurried conversation of
few words, and then the man on the
mule, his eyes beaming, his face
alight with hope and pride, and his
head erect, turned quickly his faded
beast and, together with the man on
horseback who had followed him, rode
back the way he had come.

Although it was Columbus who dis
covered the land of the western hemi-
sphere, North America was really dis
covered by the Cabots, John and his
son Sebastian. And it is interesting
to note that, while all three of these
men were Italians, their great dis
coveries were made under the flags
OF foreign countries. Columbus, who
never knew that he had found a new
land, but believed always that he had
reached Asia, served the king of
Spain. The Cabots were in the en-
ploy of English merchants.

way to Asia, India, and the magic
East. Only that very morning Col
umbus, tired of waiting around the
Court of Spain, had set forth intend
ing to present his cause to France
with the hope that he might get aid
there to pursue the great enterprise
he had in view.
This man, Columbus, or Colombo. as
his name is spelled in Italian, was
born at Genoa, Italy, somewhere about
1446 or 1451. 1t was probably about
1474 that he first conceived the idea
OF discovering a new route to Asia.
For the next ten years he made pro-
posals OF discovery to many of the
governments of Europe; but none
would listen to him. Finally, after
he had almost given up hope, Spain
agreed to aid him.
On Friday August 3, 1892, Columbus
set sail in command of three little
ships, the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and
the Nina, the largest of which, the
Santa Maria, was only ninety feet
long. On the twelfth of October of
the same year land was seen, and Col
umbus landed on one of the Bahama
Islands, formally taking possessing in
the name of King Ferdinand of Spain.
Columbus returned to Spain in
March, 1893, and his journey through
the country to Barcelona was a tri-
umphal march. In September of that
year he sailed again, and discovered
the Windward Islands, Jamaica, and
Porto Rico. He founded colony and
returned to Spain. On his third voy-
age he discovered the Orinoco. Then
he was accused on false charges by
men who were envious and jealous of
him, and he and his brother Bartholo-
NEW were taken back to Spain in
chains. The captain of the ship on
which he was brought back offered to
remove the chains, but Columbus an
swered, mo, l will wear them as a |
memento of the gratitude of princes"
On reaching Spain, however, he was
quickly freed.
His fourth voyage was to explore
the Gulf of Mexico; but he was taken
sick at San Lucar and lay there for
several months. Broken in body and
spirit he returned to Spain and died
at Valladolid on May 20, 1906. The
house in which he died bears small
tablet which reads simply, Here died
Columbus"

a man stood gazing westward with
gllstening eyes. Spellbound he stood,
thrilled by the wonderful sight spread
out before him,-a wilderness of for

and bounded by the watery horizon.
There before him lay the ocean, since
named the Pacific, for the sight of

million precious stones beneath the
glare OF the sun, the vast, seemingly
boundless sea spread out farther than
the eye could reach.

insists on Reputation Of Anti-Alfen
Laws and Recognition of Equality
With United States.

Washington, June 7.-Viscount Chin
da, the Japanese ambassador, acting as
personal representative of the mikadO,
had an hours conference at the White
House with President Wilson Thurs
day, to whom he personally submitted
Japan's grievances.
This act of the Japanese ambassa-
dor was as extraordinary as it was
dramatic and startling, ia view OF the
full and free conference he had with
Mr. Bryan when he delivered the
rejoinder of Japan
The appearance of the ambassador
at the White House caused the lmme-
date report and belief that the am
bassador was not satisfied with either
the comprehensiveness nor direct
ness of Mr. Bryans solutions and had
appealed promptly to the president. 1t
became known in less than an hour
before the call of the ambassador at
the White House that Japan had sug-
gested new proposition
The proposition is, substantially,
that the federal government shall
make some official declaration which
shall be recognition of the conten-
tion of Japan as to her place among
nations and the equality Of her citi-
zens with the citizens of the leading
powers of the world.

HOPPER PLEAGUE THREATENS
Estimated That $5ooooC Loss Has
Been Sustained by 5000 Farm
ers in Door County.

Madison. That farmers of upper.
Wisconsin are in danger of a grass
hopper plague this year and would
take immediate steps to- kill the
Ahoppers" before they reach the breed
ing stage; is the statement of Prof.
J. G. Sanders of the University of
Wisconsin college of agriculture, who
has returned from a trip to- upper
Door county.
It has been estimated that 5000
farmers in Door county alone have
suffered loss of 100000 from grass
hoppers during the last three years.
A cheap spray which can be pre-
pared and applied at cost of about
80 cents per acre, consists of one
pound of sodium arsenite and two
quarts of cheap molasses, dissolved in
sixty gallons of water This should
be applied wherever the grasshoppers
are abundant. The spray should be
applied before the grasshoppers reach
the winged stage. Another remedy
is prepared by mixing forty pounds
of bran with one pound of paris green
and adding enough water and mo,
lasses to make a sticky mass.

Washington, June 9.-Senator Town

dent had not intended it, his recent
