VOYAGER NATIVE OF CORSICA?
Paris Newspaper Claims to Have Proof
That Columbus Was Born In
That Island.

The Eclair of Paris states that IL
has received a number of documents
tending to prove the Corsican origin
of Columbus.
In the first place, 1t was only in
1874 that the well-known statue of the
discoverer of America was erected in
Genoa, whereas since 1880 there has
been abundant evidence relating to
the Colombo family at Calvi, including
numerous notarial acts and deeds.
A street there, called Colombo, for
merly was named Del Flo, and it is
historical fact that Columbus father
was a weaver.
To explain his detestation of the
population of Calvi the celebrated Cor
sican leader Paoh always used to say
that it was because he had abandoned
his respect for Columbus, and the
Able Casanova declares that he fears
no contradiction when he says that
Napoleon, like Paoh, knew perfectly
we'll the origin of Columbus.
The emperor, when talking TO other
Corsicans, habitually used the express
sion the illustrious son of our is
land" when speaking, as he was fond
IT doing, Of Columbus.

CurIous Gaelic Alphabet.

A very curious and distinguishing
characteristic of the Gaelic alphabet
is that nearly every letter thereof Is
represented by a tree. While the al
phabet of ancient Gaelic comprised
but II letters, that of modern Gaelic
has IS. But with the new, as with
the old, forms the letter is represented
by a tree. The exceptions are g,
st. and "u," which stand for ivy,
''furze" and heather"
The alphabet now stands: -Ailm,
bette, coll, dur, eagh, fearn, gath,
huath, iogh luis, muin, DIV, peith, ruis,
suil. teine, ur, all of which is equal 10
saying: Elm, birch, hazel, oak, aspen,
alder, ivy, whitehorn, yew, rowan, or
quicken, vine, ash, spindle tree. pine,
elder, willow, furze, heath. In the old
Gaelic alphabet the letter ''h" (the
huath or whitehorn) does not exist.
The alphabet is called the beth-luis-

building should be so placed that it
will be as it lay in its natural bed
when quarried. This rule is not, how.
ever, always to be depended upon and
in many cases needs to be supplement-
ed with other precautions.
There are three planes Of fracture
known to quarrymen. The rift is
the direction in which the stone splits
most easily; the grain" that which is
next easiest; the head" that which of.
fers greatest resistance. In a paving
block the two sides represent the rift
fracture, the top and bottom the grain,
and ends the head. But in a quarry
the natural bed is sometimes consider
ably inclined to the plane of the rift;
hence the imperfection of the ordinary
rule for placing stone in building
