what he supposed TO be the Indies his fleet
was composed of vessels which would be re-
garded as positively dangerous to navigate at
the present day.
The three vessels under the command of the
admiral were the Santa Maria, the Nina and
the Pinta and the Santa Maria was the largest,
being the flagship" as we would now call 1t.
All three were called "caraveS, and notnlng
like them are now afioat.
They were clumsy looking craft, with high
bows and higher sterns, the "midship" being
very low, and they were equipped with oars
like ancient galleys. The Pinta was the only
one that carried square sails on the foremost
the others being of triangular rig, of shape
almost impossible TO describe. Each vessel
carried three masts.
Being the largest, the Santa Maria carried
five single sails, but otherwise did not differ
except in size from the others. It's dimentions
were as follows: Length of keel, SO feet;
length over all, 70 feet; tonnage, l20 to 100.
The dimensions of the Nina and Pinta are not
recorded, but they were certainly much
smaller.
Ninety men all told comprised the crew Of the
Santa Maria. and the combined crews of the
other ships perhaps equaed one hundred. With
provisions and water for a two months cruise,
the vessels must have been rather crowded. but
we hear Of no complaint on that score.
Fancy if you can this little fleet crossing the
unknown sea to the westward. Tempests were
encountered, there was mutiny on board and
nearly all the crew were in mortal fear of sail
ing over the curve of the earth so far that they
would never be able to sail back again But
the will of Columbus was indomitable and
supreme, and the fleet pursued its way and dis
covered a new world.
Under similar circumstances such voyage
will never be repeated, To venture into UNI
known SeaS with fifty-eipht- foot boat would
be called foolhardiness, and without reason.
Vessels of the size of the fleet of Columbus are
now relegated to the grade of coasting schoon-
ers or sloops, and men could not be found to
trust their lives and fortunes to anything so
frail.

THE FLEET OF COLUMBUS

To the generation of today, used to great
men-of-war and mammoth merchant steam
ships, it is impossible to conceive of the puny
vessels with which the early explorers braved
the dangers of ocean and when it is considered
that a great part of the ocean was unknown, as
well as dangerous, the wonder at their achieve
ments is doubled.
In the early days of navigation, before the
compass was known, mariners sailed along the
coast very rarely, and then only by accident,
losing sight of the shore. With the advent of
the magnetic needle, they grew holder, but 1T
was many years before they attempted eXplora-
ton in the modern sense of the word.
When they did venture out Of sight of land,
il was a perlous undertaking. The vessels
were very small. the space for the storage Of
provisions was so limited that any extended
VOYAGE was impossible. Of course the sailors
and passengers of five centuries ago were not
luxurious in their tastes Their quarters were
narrow. there were no spacious cabins, and the
fare was of the plainest description and limited
as to quantity But they had appetites equal to
heir descendant and to carry enough OF even
bread and meat and water to satisfy them was
a severe tax upon their accommodations.
Yet, in spite of these drawbacks, the old
navigators crept further and further away
from the shore English sailors coasted south
ward to Portugal, and Spanish and Italian ad~
venturers braved the terrors of the northern
seas. They visited the shores of Asia and
Africa. and there is no doubt that the bold Ice
land sailors crossed the Atlantic and explored
a great part of the American coast.
But tho ships did not grow in size with the
extent of the explorations, and when Columbus
conceived and executed his daring voyage to

HOW SHE KEPT YOUNG

An old lady who managed to retain an ap-
pearance much younger than her years, with
a bright eve and smooth, heathful skin, al
though her age was over seventy, was asked
how she contrved to retain her physical charm
so long says the Irish World. This was her
reply:
Il knew how to forget disagreeable things.
81 tried to master the art of saying pleasant
things.
II did not expect too much of my friends.
81 kept my nerves well in hand and did not
allow them to bore other people.
II tried to find congenial any work had to
do.
81 retained the illusions of my youth and
didn't believe every man liar and every
woman spiteful.'"

GRIT, LIME AND CHARCOAL ESSENTIAL
TO HENS HEALTH.

The hen has no teeth. That is why grit is
essential to the headth of fowls. Grit takes the
place of teeth in preparing food for further di-
gestion. This is the function of grit in the
hens gizzard A box of grit should be kept
in every poultry house. Certain kinds of grit
also provide material for strong bones and
bright plumage
The hen does not consume enough lime If
she is laying abundantly, unless something be-
sides the ordinary grain feed is accessible to
her Oyster shells probably represent the best
form in which lime material can be supplied.
Oyster shells or even old mortar or fine gravel
should be kept before the hens continually to
supply the lime necessary to the building of
egg shells.
Charcoal is an aid to digestion and acts as
a corrective when the stomach is sour and
should be kept within easy access of fowls.

SOME THINGS ANIMALS DON'T DO

Most of us have been told so often that
camel can go without water for an definite
period. and when travelling can live on its
hump That is mistake They can go sew
eral days without it, for they have special
Notwithstanding cells in their stomachs, but
they require water just the same as other
animals.
We have been told that pecans feed their
young on their own blood What really hap
pens is this When the mother bird has caught
some fish, she returns to her nest and presses
her beak against her pouch so that the little
birds can help themselves. She may possibly
rupture bSood vessel sometimes, and this may
be the source of this story.
The ostrich has long been accused of burying
its head in the sand, thereby thinking he is
hidden from view. AS a matter of fact, he sits
down upon the ground and lowers his head,
then he looks so much like his natural sur
roundings that he can hardly be discovered.
That is Just a little camou1age.
Salamanders are believed to love fire, and
TO flourish in it. In reality, these quaint little
creatures are born in water, and hide them
selves in damp places.
