HAD
WORD Of NEW
WORLD
Journal of DiscoVerer Shows
He Had Definite knowledge
of Western Lands

NEW YORK, May S.-Two
significant historical facts were re.
vealed today with publication by
Albert and Charles Boni Of 1.-THE
Journal Of First Voyage to Amer
ica." by Christopher Columbus,
based on documents found in 1920
in the archives of Madrid.
One is that long before Columbus
discovered America, some one from
the western hemisphere visited
Europe. The second is that
Columbus was definitely informed
Of this, as well as the existence Of
Islands" in the west-long a
mooted question among American
historians. 1t had long been be-
lleVed Columbus sailed to discover
the wealth and jewels and
mysteries Of 1.-The Indies" on mere
guess work.
The new historical evidence is
contained in subjoined letter
which Paul Toscanelli, a Florintine
physician and celebrated astron.
omer, wrote to Columbus In 1474-
eighteen years before the journey
or discovery to America was made.
Effect, On Columbus.
This letter, according to Don
Fernando Columbus in his biography
Of his father, had a great effect in
causing Columbus to undertake the
voyage.
Although Toscanelli refers to the
islands in the west as Cathay, he
gives the distance due west from
Lisbon, as $500 miles.
He said in the letter that an
ambassador. from the Great Can
(king of kings came to see Pope
was a great deal in his company.
He gave me descriptions of the
magn1ficence of his king" he wrote:
and of immense rivers in that ter
ritory, which contained. as he
stated. 200 cities with marble
bridges, upon the banks of a single
stream. This is a noble country,
and ought to be explored by us,
on account Of its great riches. and
the quantity of gold, silver and
precious stones, which might be
obtained there"
Pictures Riches.
Later, he refers to Quisay, or
City of Heaven, containing ''ten
marble bridges built upon i'm.
mense columns, of singular mag
nificence." Another island, he
said, contained such an abundance
Of precious stones and metals, that
the temples and royal palaces are
covered with plates Of gold"
Many entries made by Columbus
In his record are pointed to by
students Of that period as proving
he had definite knowledge of the
existence Of land where he finally
found it, since he remarks num-
Der Of times his determination not
to vary his course even when other
and more expert navigators with
him thought 1t advisable as a re.
suit of their observations and
reckonings.

SILENT .4IRPLANES

The most conspicuous feature of the airplane, so
lar in its development is its noise. Nearly always
flying plane is heard before it Its roar is un
mistakable. When plane flies low, that roar IS un-
pleasant to everyone below At all times 1t is deafen-
ing to pilots and passengers 1t has been one of the ad-
mted defects of the airplane tolerated because 1t was
considered inevitable and necessary.
Now comes the glad news that this roar has been
done away with as the of automobiles and motor
boats was long ago. 1t is no more necessary say Lon
don engineers to operate an alrplane engine without
muffer than # is to operate any other gas engine with
out one 1t merely requires different type of mufler,
which will stop the noise of internal explosions without
checking the escape of the exhaust fumes and inter-
ferng with the speed of the engine.
At the same time the engineers say they have
overcome the other CHARACTERISTIC arpane noises made
bv the whirring propellers and the wind rushing
through wires and spars. 1t is mainly matter of
simplifying surfaces and eliminating friction
Now it will be possible to be really bird men,
Fvino birds do not roar. Flying machines could not
compete with them except in until they attained
the silent smoothness of bird flight With that accom-
nisbed the airplane will be destined to far rapid
and general popularity.
