Although the importance of Columbus'
discovery of the Atnerican continent has
never been successfully discredited, it is
clear that his achievement was but one
episode in an extensive series of explorations
having their inception in the anment Greek
idea that Asia would be found by sailing
westward.
The earlier Greeks believed the earth to
be a great island in the centre of an ocean,
which gradually faded into a realm of dust
and darkness, the abode of the spirits of the
dead.
This idea, which survived to a greater or
less degree in the minds of the illiterate—
of seafaring men in partictilar—down to the
15th century, did more than anything else
to prevent investinent into the mysteries of
the unknown waste a waters for ao many
centuries.
The idea. of the roundness of the earth
was con.ceived by students of astronomy in
Greece, as early as the sixth century be-
fore Christ, and was kept alive through
succeeding centuries by many learned. men,
notwithstanding the objection urged by
CosinesiA. D. 600 :
" If the earth is round, bow will the
people at the antipodes be able to see the

and jewels for his ladies, and one of his
favorite diversions was said to be lolling
in a beautiful garden, on the shote of a
lake, in the waters of which troops of his
favorites disported themselves before his
eyes.
Among many extraordinary things de-
scribed by Polo, were oxen as large as ele-
phants, and • correspondinkly powerful; a,
species of bird so large that with ease it
flew with an elephant in its talons; and
certain black stones dug •out of the earth,
which burned like wood and coald be kept
afire all night. Coal was unknown to a
large part of Europe at that time, and. this
reference to it was ridiculed. as preposter-
ous.
Among the curious customs of the people
were mentioned the covering of their teeth
with thin plates of gold, so that they looked
like golden teeth, and the pricking of de-
vices into their skins with Indelible ink.
They dressed in rich silks, lawns and cloth
of gold,
Cipango, ar Japan, was represented as a
large island, about "1300 miles to the east-
ward of Cathay, in the China sea. It was
said to abound m precious stones and many
other valuable articles of commerce and the
king's palaces were said to be .rooted with
plates of solid gold..
For centuries Italy had monopolized trade
with the East, which was carried on
through Egypt and Arabia by means of
caravans. The wonderful tales of Marco
Polo so excited the cupidity of western na-
tions that Prince Henry of Portugal, about
the time of the birth of Columbus, deter-
mined to settle a question whieh had for
centuries been discussed, Could Africa be
circumnavigated, and a new and easy route
to ladle thus be opened?"
Erastosthenes, 00C years before Christ,
estimated the earth to be only one -twelfth
larger than its actual circumference.
The belief that Asia would be found to
the westward naturally accompanied that
of the roundness of the earth • but voyages
in that direetion were prevented.
First, by the terrors with which mythol-
ogy and superstition had invested. the un-
known sea.
Second, by the question, " since a ship
in sailing to the westward disappears down
the declivity caused by the roundness of
the earth, how is she ever going to mount
the elevation on her return voyage ?" This
question was to be answered by the discos-.
cry of the law of gravitation.
Third, by the belief that, the earth at the
equator was encircled by a zone so torrid
as to be impassable. Navigators noticed
that as they crept southward, along the
African coast, the heat increased, and they
concluded there existed a region where the
waves of the ocean literally boiled under
the heat of the sun.
Until shortly before Columbus' time, the
ancient Greek writers were the only author-
ities upon the geographical coufi uration of
the earth's surface, and consequently what
was actually known by the mariners of the
middle ages was so mixed up with legends
and fables of the znythologlcal period, as to
be of little practical use.
The Atlantic w as filled with fabulous
islands, all involved more or less with
notions of their inhabitants, being either
blessed or accursed spirits, and such islands
dotted mariners' charts long after Colum-
bus' great discovery.
Among them was the isle of St. Brendan,
said to have been taken possession of in the
sixth century, by a colony of Irish monks,
led by St. Brendan.
Antillia, or the island of the seven cities,
was another where, tradition eels', seven
bishops, with is great following from. Spain,
bad found refuge from the Moors in the
eighth century, establishing eeven largo
cities.
Sailors continually reported seeing these
and other islands upon the horizon, bot ex-
plorere never could find them, and the idea
that they were vanishing or floa.thig islands
only increased the terrors of the ocean.
About, the time of the birth of Columbus
an eminent Arabian writer expressed the
prevailing idea of the Atlantic ocean as fol-
lows:
The ocean encircles the ultimate bounds
of the inhabitable earth and all beyond. is
unknown, owing to its difficult navigation

are many islands in it, some peopled, others A. large portion of this space, he thought,
not. No mariners dare to enter its deep ought be ocenpied by Eastern Asia, or
India, as he called it, and so it was likely
that is voyage of is few days would euable
Iiiin to reach at least the wonderful islaud
of Cipango suppose,' to be well out in the
ocean, off the coast of India.
In addition to the encouragement he
gained from books and. his resulting specu-
lations he had gleams of thformataon gain-
ed from mauy veteran mariners whom he
had known.
One lia.d picked up a piece of driftwood
apparently carved in some is ay, but riot
with implements of iron; another had found
reeds floating about, which werelarge enough
between each joint to contain several
quarts of wine. Other strange objects had
been seen, all drifting eastward, apparent-
ly blown by the winds from some unknown
land in the west, but really carried by the
gulf stream.
The chart by which Columbus sailed on
his first voyage was drawn especially for him
by Toscanelli, the most eminent map -maker
and astronomer of his time. It was full of
inaccuracies and dotted with fabled isl-
ands.
Although many of these islands have
proved to be purely imaginary, their presence
on the map must have inspired Columbus
with new confidence in the feasibility of his
project, and he was still further encouraged
by a letter from Toscanelli, expressing per-
fect confidence in the practicability of the
idea, and impressing upon his mind anew
the riches of Cipango.
Toscanelli placed the eastern coast of Asia
about where'the coast of California, is, and
Cipango within the Gulf of Mexico, and
2500 miles was the distance Columbus ex-
pected to traverse before reaohing the coast
of Asia.
Although he never touched the mainland
he at one time reached a point nearly at
the mouth of the Orinoco river, and, per-
ceiving the strong current of fresh water,
argued that a continent must be near. He
was convinced that, when found. The
source of that river would prove to be the
veritable garden of Eden.
It was for Cipango that Columbus steered
upon his first voyage, and the rest of his
sad and stormy life was wasted in a vain
search for its fabulous treasures. He died in
the belief that he had found a western route
to India, and it was six years later that
Balboa, beholding the Pacific meat for the
first time from one of the mountains on the
isthmus of Panama, proclaimed the news
that a new continent had been discovered.

ors were still terrified at the project of ven-

To dispel this fear Prince Henry estab-
lished a naval college to which he invited

generally from all nations. All that wits
known of geography was gathered together
and maps and charts were improved, the

coast, fearful of departing therefrom. Al-
though the waves of the ocean roll as high
as mountain% yet they maintain themselves
without breaking, for, if they broke it would
be impossible for ships to plough them.
The only portion of the world. of whieb
any authentic knowledge existed at the
time of Columbus' birth was whatis known
as Europe, Great Britain, Iceland, Persia,
Arabia Egypt, and a narrow strip alorig
the northern coast of Africa, inhabited by
the Moors.
All the vast territory east of the countries
mentioned was known vaguely as India:
while Africa was believed to be a continent,
stretching outward to the south pole, and
eastward- till it joined India beyond the
Guavas, forming an enclosed sea of the
Indian ocean.
India was looked upon as a region of in-
calculable wealth and of supernatural won-
ders, and was described in themost extrav-
agant terms by the few travellers who
had penetrated to the eastern coast of
China.
Tales were told of 200 magnificent cities,
whose marble bridges of dazzling whiteness
spanned a single river; of abundance of
rich stuffs, intoxicating aerfumes, and
precious stones of every cenceivable kind.
An account of the travels of Marco Polo,
is Venetian, and the first civilized man to
explore the east clear to the sea coast of
China, was published during Columbus' early
life, and greatly influenced his later career,
for, in his applications to the various courts.,
he invariably sought to arouse the cupidity
of the different sovereigns by references to
the wealth of the countries he expected to
open up.
The chart by which he led out bis route
to India was largely drawn on the authority
of Polo, also.
Marco Polo, who had been called the Col-
umbus of the east, travelled overland from
Venice to the Pacific ocean, and after wan.
dering for years through Tartary and China,
returned home by water, via the East Indies.
He went into ecstasies over the riches of
the realms of Cathay andMangi, since ascer-
tained to have been northern and southern
China. In unmeasured terms he described
the grandeur and power of the Grand Khan,
or sovereign, who had four regular wives,
a very large number of irregular ones, and
50 sons.

dors made a Journey to a neigh boringn ation,

Noble women of the court were then com-
missioned to ascertain if any of the chosen
fair ones altered. in their eleep, or had any
other disagreeable habits, before they .were
admitted to the harem. The less -prized
women were put to work in the kitchen or
at other domestic duties, or else married to
gentlemen of the court.

—General Scope Assented to.
A Washington dispateli says :—A prop.
osition originating with Great Britain for
the suppression of the lainoe traffic in the
islands of the Pacific Ocean has drawn from
our State Department a definite announce-
ment as to the position of the United States
in regard to the islands in the Polynesian
group. For some years a projeot has been
urged upon the various Governments con-
cerned for the suppression or regulation of
the sale of ill toxicating liquors and fire-anns
to the natives of the islands in the Pacific
Ocean. As long ago as 1881 Secretary of
State Frelinghuysen concurred in the prop-
osition brought to bis attention by the
British minister, but no definite plan was
formulated or submitted to this Govern-
ment until July last. This plan as framed
by the Brisish Governmeat was accepted by
Secretary Foster in a note to the British
charge, dated on the llth ult„ witls a few
suggested modifications as to details. The
Secretarysaid: " While the sentiments
and convictioneof the Government endorse
the effective restrictions of .deleterious
commerce with the Pacific islanders, the
method of giving expression thereto is nec-
essarily influenced by the disparity of pol-
icy and interests between the United States
and the great European states in the Paci-
fic ocean. This disparity has become even
greater since the present, proposal was first
put forth in 1884. Nearly all of Polynesia
has now passed under European =iodic -
tion. Were the United States a colonizing
power, expanding its jurisdiction in the
same way as the other great powers among
the islands of the Western Pacific, question
might legitimately arise as to the share of
responsibility that properly should fall to
us in the public control of these regions.
As it is, the Government of the United
States is without colonial interest of any
kind in that quarter of the globe, and its
administrative responsibilities are remotely
confined to participation in the encourage-
ment of good government and autonomy
in the Samoan group. To the colon-
izing or protecting powers the question at
issue becomes largely a matter of local
municipal government; to the United
States st is one of moral influence and cor-
dial co-operation within the just limits of
domestic and international rights. Al-
though its responsibilities in the matter
are not so great, this Government is none
the less interestecl in the humanitarian pur-
poses of the proposed convention, and I am
happy to express, by direction of the Presi-
dent, his assent to its general scope."
