Out of the archives of 300 yenrs ago Hollanders have brought to light a letter with which the Netherlands chamber of commerce strengthens a claim that the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the found ing of New Amsterdam! now New York, should be In 11)2(1, rather than In 1024, as tentative plans announced. Here Is the letter, with Its ijuulnt and brief description of the spot where now 0,000,000 persons live; where the assessed valuation Is $6, 000,000,000, or $250,000 an acre; where the exports are 100,000 times those of the year of Its founding: Recep., 7 November, 1020. High and Mighty HItb:—Here arrived yesterday the ship The Arms of Amsterdam, which sailed from New Nederland out of the Mauritius river (the Hudson) on September 23; they report that our people there are healthy and live p«aceably. Their women also have borne children there. Tells of Buying Manhattan. “They have bought the Island Mnn hattes from the wild men for the val ue of 00 guilders, Is 11,000 morgens In lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll extent. They sowed nil their grain In the middle of May and harvested It In the middle of August. Thereof be ing Humpies of summer grain, such as wheat, rye, outs, buckwheat, canary seed, small beans and flax. “The cargo of the aforesaid ship Is: Seven thousand two hundred and for ty-six beaver skins, 17814 otter skins, 075 otter skins, forty-eight mink skins, thirty-six cat skins, thirty-three mink skins, thirty-four rat skins, and many logs of oak and nut wood. “Herewith, High and Mighty Sirs, be ye commended to the Almighty’s Ornce. "In Amsterdam, Nov. 5, Anno 1020. Your High Mightinesses’ Obedient, “P, SCHAGKN.” The 00 guilders mentioned, at the present rate of exchange, amount to the $24 price of Manhattan known to every schoolboy; the "Mauritius riv er” Is the Hudson river, from whose waters, by the way, a giant air cruiser recently took flight for Brazil—the glorified descendant, 800 years apart, of the little ship that carried “otter skins, rat slilns, and many logs of oak and nut wood.” L. Witter Vun Hooglnnd, secretary of the Netherlands Chamber of Com merce In New York, points out In recommending 1020 ns the year for the tercentenary celebration,^that Hie u i ii 11 iiiii ii ii ii i mill ii iii ii i ii ii 11 ii ii ii iiiii i ii earlier settlers, contrary td the belief of historians of years ago, probably settled In Fort Orange, now the city of Albany, while Manhattan remained a trading post until a group landed there as settlers In 1026. RECORD INSURANCE POLICY Pennsylvania Treasurer Gets $26,000, 000 Against Burglary. A $20,000,000 burglary Insurance policy, covering securities for which the state treasurer of Pennsylvania Is responsible, was executed the other day by the National Surety company and twenty-five co-lnsurlng companies. This l^.tlie largest burglury Insurance policy ever written. The protection afforded by the policy will run three years. Premiums will total more than $32,000 for the three years. R. A. Alglre, vice-president of the National Surety company, explained that, while It was unusual for n state to lake out a burglary policy of any thing like such proportions, the devel opment Indicated a general tendency In that direction. The National Surety company recently executed Huch a pol icy for the state of Kentucky for $4,000,000, Mr. Alglre said, “A state is subject to the same haz ard as a bank, or nnj_other Instltu 111i111M111in111ii 1111111 ■ 11II11111 ii11 i it111 i i 11.: ■ tfon," he continued. "It fs essential for the state to arrange for some sort of protection for securities on hand or for state moneys, and the state of Pennsylvania Is Insuring Itself against the theft of various securities held in custody by the treasurer.” EASY TO FLY TO POLE Expert Says Airships of German Type Could Make the Trip. Modern airships of the Germar type could make the trip from London to the North Pole, a distance of 4,600 miles, within a week, says MaJ. Rich ard Carr, aerial expert of the Shackle ton Antarctic expedition. Fuel for the entire distance could be carried, and no landings need be made. Major Carr made Important observa tions on flying conditions in the Ant arctic. “During the seven weeks we were in the ice,” he says, “the lowest temperature recorded was 5 degrees Fahrenheit and the average approxi mately 20 degrees. The wind average was eight to ten miles an hour, and the air and sky were wonderfully clear. We had more than 800 perfect flying hours.” i SPRAINS MAY BE SERIOUS Should Never Be Taken Lightly, but Have the Most Careful Attention at Once. Sprains and strains as a class are I Injuries which cause little concern and. consequently, to which little at tention is paid. The result Is, accord ing to the medical correspondent of the London Times, that a great deal I of disability is caused which need not have occurred at all. He tells how to avoid much of this and gives explana tions which rob sprains of some of their mystery. Sprains are not by any means so trivial as they are usually supposed to be. Some of them are not ‘‘sprains’' at all, but slight dislocations, and it Is by knowledge of this fact that so called bloodless surgeons acquire their reputation. A return of the members to their correct position often ends j the pain and discomfort of these ae- J cidents. Again, some sprains are fractures. The bones may not have been sep- j arated, and so the fact that a break j has occurred Is overlooked. Not until i permanent damage has been done is professional_help called in. Finally, there are cases In which fibers of ligaments—1. e„ the binding material forming the hinges of a Joint or the means of fixation of a muscle tendon to a bone—have been torn asunder. These cases may prove ex ceedingly troublesome, and If not at tended to may result t: permanent weakness. ^ It is a good and safe rule to call In a doctor, says the writer, when any severe or even moderately severe sprain has been encountered. By this means the calamities attending neg lect of serious Injury are avoided. Two Small Crafts Will Bear Parties on ■s Experimental Voyages.
