Another Discoyerer.

In an old Spanish geographical work
on America published in 1852 by Fran
cesco Lopez de Gomera, priest of
Sevilla it is mentioned that Labrador
was reached for the first time by
party of Norwegian sailors piloted by
John Scolvus or Jon Skolp in 1476.
The announcement was made for the
first time some years ago, but it was
greeted with skepticism that Colum-
bus had been anticipated on the Amer
lean shorts by any but Left Ericsson,
but recently additional evidence has
shown that Columbus visit to this
country was antedated by Scolvus by
20 years and steps are being taken to
urge the formers claims for honors.

Venice Once Sunreme Cltx

A few centuries ago Venice was the
gateway for the commerce of all CEN
trail Europe, particularly to and from
the Near East. 1t was here that the
merchants of the earth congregated
and many money lenders piled their
vocation of collecting usury
The Rialto bridge, made famous by
Shakespeare's The Merchant of
Venice" still stands. This structure
once afforded a meeting place for mer-
chant princes to discuss the business
of the world. In those days Venice
was among the most important of sea-
ports. Its harbor was constantly alive
with merchant ships, as well as pas
senger vessels. 1t is still unique city,
in that its streets are chiefly water
ways or canals, but although still a
city beautiful, and far famed for its
fine arts, its glory and Importance as
commercial center have passed
away.

Tests for Diamonds.

The true diamond is not cut by
file, has specific gravity Of 1852 and
a luster that shows clearly even when
the stone is immersed in water. A
small drop of water dropped on the
face of clean, dry diamond preserves
its globular form and does not spread.

Is 1t not mere caddishness forsone

that he wastes money, but who justi-

by saying that he can afford to waste

ness, to object to other people doing
the same sort Of thing only because
he thinks the other people cannot
afford the expenditures? Right down
in our hearts we know that the con-
Germ is not all with the welfare of
those other people who are wasting
their money; it is really a matter Of
jealousy and of class distinction

these people have committed social
misdemeanors, as when the cook du-
