MARCO POLO, TRAV-
n WRITER,
BORN 665 YEARS G

me Nenetlans, great travellers as they
were, did not place implicit faith in the
stories Of Marco Polo. They thought he
related fabulous tales. 1t is now realized
that he was an exceptional voyager. with
a mind keen for impressions and ewes
trained to note the most minute things.
Marco Polo was born in Venice on Sep
ember i, 1852. His family was Of noble
rank. with their name in the Book Of
Cold. and a seat in the great council Of
the Venetian republic. His father. Nicolo
Polo, and a brother went for commercial
ventures in the East, and were the first
European travellers to enter China. Nicolo
Pole was married, and when he returned
to Venice he found that his wife had
died. but Marco, his son, was a promising
youth Of Is years.
After carrying out several important
commissions the brothers went back to
the East and took Marco with them. SO
began his remarkable experience in ira
vel. When Marco reached the court of
the great khan Of Shangtu he was q. He
set himself to mastering the languages
used about the court and in official BUSH
ness, and the Kubla Khan found him SO
- 80 o'Ab S4IAcI III 80 ilAEl il-NIc-
ton that he began Ia give him small com
missions in the public service.
Agent for imperial Council
In the Chinese annals there is a record
Of TIE year 1911 in which a Polo, probab-
~ Marco, was made agent for the i'm
perial council.
Marco told the han stories Of the coun-
try and people wherever his travels as
agent took him, and the khan expressed
the l~iveliest interest in all these and
often spoke Of the usual stupidity Of
commissioners, who knew absolutely
nothing but their official business.
This made Marco more careful to re-
member interesting facts and he began
to keep note books. The kha rewarded
Marco by giving him still more important
foreign missions, and allowing him 70
have many charges in the affairs in the
kingdom. For three years at one period
he was governor of the large city Of
Yangchow.
His father and uncle were in the mean
time busy gaining wealth, and in 1895 the
three went back to Venice. Some wears
after this Marco Polo was taken prisoner
by the Genoese, and 1t was through his
captivity that we have the valuable sto-
ries Of his travels. In the prison Of Genoa
was a man from Pisa who had a taste
for writing, and had rewritten some Of
the Old French romances. He persuaded
Marco to relate his stories to him. and he
wrote them down, in reality at dlctation.
Marries Into Noted Family
Marco Polo married into the Loredano
family OF Venice, one Of the proudest in
the republic. In the library OF st. Mark.
where so many treasures are preserved
there is the last Will and testament OF
this notable son of Venice. The date IL

Some years ago there was found in

KAISER is FLOODING
RUSSIA WITH COUN-
TERFEIT CURRENCY


Emperor William has for some months
past been adding TO the chaos and confu-
sion which reign in Russia. by flooding
the country with counterfeit Muscovite
hark notes. Russia simply swarms with
German agents, and it is NJ exaggeration
q. state that wherever they so they take
advantage OF their opportunities 10
shove bogus currency.
In view of the revelation Of this fresh
departure in the methods Of warfare of
Germany, it may be well to be prepared
for similar nefarious maneuvers. not on
~ in France, Great Britain and ItaIv. but
likewise in the United States. Emperor
William considers everything that can
~embarrass his enemies as justifable. no
matter how d~ishonorahle or criminal.
Considerations Of honor. and even Of
criminal law. do not exercise the slightest
deterrent effect upon his activities; and
assuredly there is nothing more calculat-
ed 70 embarrass a country than to food
It with bogus money. thereby impairing
domestic and foreign confidence in its
national currency.
Follows Example of Napoleon
The only commander in modern times
who has ever rendered himself guilty o,
anything Of the kind. has been the First
Napoleon, the great Corsican adyenturcr.
who. when he invaded Russia in 1912 car

Muscovite notes manufactured in Paris

ing the monetary system Of Russia.
Some Of these bales OF counterfeit notes

driven 70 commence his so disastrous re-
treat, and they are still preserved thera
or. at any rate, were until the beginning
OF the present war. as a relic Of the times
when the greater portion of the ancient
capital Of Muscovy was destroyed by fire.
Origin Of Name Of Windsor
Since the reigning house Of Great Brit
ain has adopted the name Of Windsor az
its ~patronymic, in lieu of that of Guelph
q Este. which the late Queen Victoria de-
clared In writing 10 be the tronym Of
the dynasty. it may be as well to state
that there is no truth In the contention
that Windsor is a name Of German ori-
gin. or that it is derived from a corrup-
ton OF the words shore and .Waen-
del" or vandal.
True, Windsor figures in Doomsday
Book, and in Anglo-Saxon chronicles. bu,
that the name was derived from wind
ing shore" is proved beyond all further
argument by the fact that a monastrv
which formerly existed there In the tim.
OF William the Conqueror. and in still
earlier days. made use in its charters and
documents OF the Latin words ..R,vo-
