LIBRARY IN PARIS YIELDS TREASURE Map That May Have Been Made by Columbus.
_ A scholar who died recently, Henry Vignaud, after 60 years of .su;d;!y QI Columbus’ iife, according to an al@;iflg in “L’lllustration,” and translated for the Milwaukee Journal, came to the conclusion that Columbus never said anything authentic about himself. His great plan, which was born .out of meditations about the shape of the earth, remains in the field of legends. To dissipate all doubts it was necessary to find a document of a date earlier than the discovery of America. Mr. Vignaud says that such a document did exist at the National library in Paris. Under the insignificant name of “A Portuguese Map of the Sixteenth Century,” he found a real hidden treasure. There was no date, nor any name of the cartographer. Two maps were combined on an old piece of parchment, a map of the world on a small scale and one of Africa and Europe on a large scale. Africa extended down to the Cape of Good Hope. The map of the world contained no trace of America and its islands. The cape had been discovered in 1488 and America in 1492. The docu.ment must have been produced some time between those two dates. It was not a Portuguese document. The archipelago of Cape Verde was annotated on this map as follows: “These islands are called Capo Verde in Italian and Cape Verde in Latin. They were discovered by a man from Genoa called Antoine de Noli.”
The author of the map was therefore an Italian and Genoa was well known to him. Another item is still more striking. The cartographer knew Iceland, “Frislandd, an island full of mountains, snow . and ice, called Islande in the local language and Thile in Latin. On account of the cold, the people there eat nothing but frozen fish.” This very same comment was made by Christopher Columbus in another document. It is more than probable that Columbus himself drew the nmaps, for all that he knew of the earth is contained on them, » :
“The world is a globe. The map niust be drawn in one- plane, but it must be visualized as a sphere.” This sentence is written in a handwriting which is undoubtedly that of Christopher Columbus.
Sounds of Trees.
“When I was a boy and hunted squirrels in the woods where factories ngw stand in the city, I used to study the mystifying sounds made by the trees,” said Hiram Hunter, deputy United States marshal assigned to Judge Arthur J. Tuttle’s court. “The queer sounds common to all woods I eventually learned were caused by the wind among the branches of trees, and did not emanate from the spirits of the departed Indians, as little boys were then told by their elders. One old oak tree that stood near where the northern city limits are now was known to us boys as the “spirit tree.” It gave forth a dirge-like sound and subsequent investigation revealed that the horizontal limb of g maple tree was rubbed against the trunk when the wind stirred the branches.”—Detroit News,
Advice on Shoes
Change your shoes and hose every day in warm weather, to keep shoes, hose and feet in good condition. advises one shoe dealer. Light wool or silk and wool hose are best in summer, he says, for they absorb the moisture. = The .feet. should be washed daily in lukewsarm - water, preferably at night, and always dried well before putting on hose again. Lastly, he advises a shoe shine fresh each morning, to preserve the ‘shoes. They are better shined in the morning, he says, when free of ndlioisture or perspiration. Thus cared for, and bermitted to dry slowly when wet, the shoes’ lifetime will be extended 50 per cent, he states. The use of shoetrees is advised to assist in holding the shoes’ natural shape, :
