The Government Profits by Carelessness

r HERE is one source of revenue to
the government Of which but few
persons are aware-that proceeding
from the large number of stamps that
are wasted by the people.
There are two ways in which the
government profits by the Carelessness
and ignorance of the public. In the
first place many stamps are destroyed
This means a profit to the Post Office
department Of many thousands Of dol
lars year; how much cannot be esti-
mated, for there is no means of get
ting figures, except by elaborate and
untrustworthy calculation. A person
carries stamps in his pockets until they
are 50 worn that he does not dare
use them. In point of fact, anything
that looks like good stamp, no mat
ter if it is somewhat mutllated, is
passed by the clerks, just as q dilapi-
dated bank note is good if there is
enough of it to show what it is. Wear
and dirt cannot, without almost de-
Stroying the stamp, give it the look of
one that has been cancelled. Yet few
persons will put a damaged stamp on
a letter. Besides, many stamps are
lost or destroyed entirely and the gov
eminent makes a clear gain.
The other source of loss to the in
dividual by which the government
profits is the number of stamps that
are wasted in excess postage. People

Christopher Columbus?
The latest addition to the line of
claimants is Jon Skolp, a Norwegian
explorer.
Sofus Larsen, Danish scientist
who has recently made a report found
ed on researches of archives of the
middle ages, has completed a work
which he says proves that SkOlp, the
Norwegian, "rediscOvered America" in
1916, sixteen years ahead of Column
bus and twenty years before John Cab
OF reached the strait of Hudson.
Larsen uses the term 'rediscov-
cred" considering that the original
discoverer was Lief Ericsson, the Morse
man, in the year 1000.
LarSen's researches developed, he
says, that about 1875 the king Of Por-
tugal sent a message to the king Of
Denmark and Norway, Christian l., re-
questing him to fit out an expedition
and attempt to find a sea passage to
Asia-in reality a northwest passage,

and bend down the four points of tin to
make an opening of the right size to

the can to its side. Drive the stake

have the light.
The candle light fixture in Fig. re-

end of a wooden strip is inches long,
drive four nails to form a candle
holder. For reflectors, tack two can
covers to strip Of wood Is inches
long, with centers the same distance
apart as the candle centers, and con-
meet the two strips with a pair of
narrow strips, in the manner shown.

in the United States, and it registered
this abnOrmality. The necessities Of
war drew the country population to
the cities by the millions, and the
necessities of peace have not yet re-

cities than in the rural districts, a ma

WASHINGTON
SIDELIGHITS
New Claimant for Honor Given Columbus

found in the Danish state archives.
The expedition was headed by the
Norwegian-Germ privateer-Captain
Didrik PinnG and pilOted by the Nor
wegian pilot Jon Skolp, to whom cred
it is given for having reached as far
as Labrador and found part of the
actual entrance to the northwest
passage.
Later on new material was found
pointing in the same direction. One
of the sources was a famous globe,
dating 1887, and made by the Dutch
physician and mathematician, Comma
trisiuS, who points out that North
America was reached In 147G by Jo-
names SCOlVus.
Johannes Scolvus is name I'M
known in Norwegian history. DR.. Lar
sen connects it with the Norwegian
surname Skolp, which means a man
from the shores or fishing places of
northern Norway. His deed became
famous in his own times, but on ac7
count of various conditions not trace
able now, it was yelled in Obscurity
and forgotten.
The account of his voyage undoubt-
eddy has been of significance to other
expeditions, Norwegians as well as
English and Portuguese. DR.. Fridtjof
Nansen, in one of his scientific works
has proved that even 100 years later
English explorers were familiar with
the expedition of Johannes Skolp,
namely when preparing for Martin
FrObisher'S travel to Greenland in
1876.
