Hero Pirate
Columbus Crossed Ocean
Long Before 1892.
Says Historian.

MADRID, March 10.-If Luis
VIUIloa. Peruvian engineer and
historian. is correct, American
children can tear up their hlSto-
yies of Christopher Columbus ana
begin all over again.
Columbus, Ulloa asserts, as a
pirate who visited America, prob
obly Florida, long before the ira
ditional date of 1892, and already
had made mis- crossing when he
went to Queen Isabella with a
plea for money.
Ulloa's evidence. consisting OF
documents discovered in a castle
at Simancas, near Valladolid, will
be given in a thesis to be sub
,nitted in May at the international
historical congress at Seville.
The historian has been engaged
in his research for nearly forty
years.
~HRISTOPHER and his brother
W Diego. Julia saws, were en-
gagged in piracy, which was not an
unusual side line to maritime
commerce in those days.
Their adventures carried them
westward, into the new world,
and upon finding this new terri
tory they decided to profit by the
knowledge. through obtaining the
Spanish royalty for the re-
gion, Ulloa says.
The exact date of Columbus
birth is not known. but it is be-
lieved plausible that he was born
in 1896, which would make it 1864
when he talked to Isabella.

~ ISTANT cold and unmapped is the
Arctic Ocean. Yet it is very likely
- that by the end of next Summer
scientists will know more about
this black sea than about any of
the other great bodies of water in the more fav-
Ored climates of the world.
This knowledge will come from the first SUBJ
marine expedition into the polar regions, now
being definitely planned for July and August
of 1881 by the intrepid British explorer, Capt.
Sir George Hubert Wilkins. Sir Hubert has
distinguished himself by polar exploration
afoot, he has flown far into the Antarctic and
across north polar regions, and now he is dar-
ing to penetrate the third dimension of dis
covely.
Lincoln Ellsworth, American, who has spent
much of his life in the Arctic, will be associated
with the venture, which Is called the Wilkins
Ellsworth Transpolar Submarine Expedition, Sir
Hubert has announced. But it is not known
yet whether Ellsworth will actually make the
trip. He will decide IN October after he returns
from exploring the unknown headwaters of the
Hamilton River In Labrador.
While the mind of the layman Immediately

disaster to a submarine travelling beneath the

this region have commended the proposed ex-

An immensely valuable store of scientific
knowledge will be gathered because a submarine
is large enough to carry to inaccessible regions
many scientific instruments and remain there
in safety for days while observations are being
made.
The project of going to the North Pole by
such . method N not at all new, for a sub
marine was successfully operated under Ice
years ago. The CHIEF proponent of this form
Of navigation is Simon Lake the famous sub
marine inventor.
As early as 1897 Lake read q paper on the

tain az DR.. Sverdrup Of finding plenty of
places where his submarine can rise to the sur
face. When he appeared before the American
Geographical Union recently to explain his
plans and ask the opinion of the American
scientists he said:
MY experience of Is 900 miles Of Arctic fly-
ing and 5000 miles of walking over ice shows
me that there are patches of water IN the
