THE NAME AMERICA1
DISCOVERY OF FIRST MAP ON
WHICH IT APPEARED.
Precious Document Has Been Eagerly
Sought for Four Centuries—Draw
ing of the Then New Continent Is
Rathor Vague.
After nearly four centuries of mys
tery the first map on which the name
of America was used to designate the
Western Hemisphere has been found.
It was made by Martin Waldseemul
ler. a geographer and cartographer of
the little city of St. Diel, situated in
the French department of the Vosges.
Ever since the year 1507 the world
has known of a little Latin book,
printed in St. Diel and made famous
because it first advocated that the
new hemisphere should he called
America, after Americo Vespucci.
“I do not see who can rightfully
object to its being called ‘Land of
Americo,’ or ’America.’ ” said the
writer, “from Americo. or Amerigo,
the name of the sagacious man of
genius who discovered it, since the
names ‘Europe’ and ‘Asia’ were de

This Is Believed to Be the First Map Ever Made on Which the Name
“America" Was Used to Designate the Western Hemisphere.
rived from the names of women.”
From certain references in the book
it was evident that it was accompan
ied by some sort of map. yet the map
was missing. Copies were found of a
map which geographers believed be
longed to the book, but still no one
knew what had become of the origi
nal. It was finally proved that Wald
seemuller wrote the book, and certain
maps were found bearing his name,
but not the coveted map for which the
world had been seeking so long.
The search had been abandoned and
the subject almost forgotten when a
German professor stumbled over the
missing map in the princely library of
the castle of Wolfegg. Here it had
lain hidden amid tomes of rich moroc
co and parchment.
The professor’s name was Joseph
Fischer, of Feldirch, who was making
an examination of the library of
Prince Francis, of Walburg-Wolfegg.
He found “a volume of great size,”
says “The Monthly Bulletin of the In
ternational Bureau of American Re
publics,” “antiquarian folio, Gothic
style, substantially bound, and hav
ing for its covers two beech boards,
.supplied with clasps or brass fasten
ers, in which were found united,
forming a kind of atlas, various
leaves of three distinct maps.
“One of these was the original
Waldseemuller map of 1507. which
had been so persistently searched for
and of which so much had been spo
ken, magnificently printed in twelve
sheets, and in an excellent state
of preservation.”
The prince permitted the map to be
photographed, so that the facsimilies
which have been made public are cor
rect reproductions.
When its parts are put together
the Waldseemuller map measures 8
feet wide and 4 feet high. It repre
sents the new continent with a
vagueness which seems comical to a
man of to-day. Yet when one consid
ers that It was drawn only fifteen
years after Columbus had crossed
the Atlantic on his first voyage, it is
possible to understand the cloudiness
with which the new' land is bounded.
A few of the West Indies are depicted
by clumsy blotches and North Ameri
»a is pinched into a strfp of land,
irhich looks more like an attenuated
Island than a continent. The propor
tions of South America are more near
foe truth, and represent to a certain
.txtent the V shape character of that
continent. The name "America” ap
pears written transversely in capital
letters in the southern part of the
continent to the north of the Tropic
of Capricorn.
Insisted on Her Dignity.
President Roosevelt recently added
a French governess to his household.
The young woman has Quentin, Mr.
Roosevelt’s youngest son, in her es
pecial charge and insists that he shall
address her as “Mademoiselle.” The
Roosevelt children, accustomed to
calling people by the first or last
name only, were indisposed to agree,
but the young woman at once served
notice on Mrs. Roosevelt that every
one in the house must call her “Made
moiselle" or she would leave at once.
She had her way and the children's
** revolt was summarily squelched.

KEYS IN FORMER DAYS.
Were Real Works of Art in Their
Ornamentation.
In the sixteenth century European
iron workers produced keys enriched
with ornaments in relief and treated
as works of art. Nothing could be
more graceful than the embossed fig
ures, coats of arms and grotesque
arabesques which embellish the bows,
which in this utilitarian age are re
placed by ordinary metal rings. The
*
keys were first cast and then chis
eled by an expert artisan. The so
called "Strozzi key,” formerly the
property of Henri III of France,
changed hands a few years ago for
the enormous sum of $6,000. The
bow represents two sphinxes with
grotesque heads, back to back, on the
capital of a column. The stem is in
the form of two concentric pipes; the
bit is shredded like a very fine comb.
Another famous key dates from the
beginning of the seventeenth century;
the elaborate bow represents two
seated male figures supporting a du
cal coronet. A third key is excep
tionally ornate; the entire available
space is enriched with arabesques,
terminating in cupids, reclining river
gods, a standing figure of Victory and
similar devices. The stem of this
key is supported by figures of a man
and a woman.
A Hot Time in Prospect.
One of the many charitable women
who are interested in the work of
the University Settlement among the
New York East Side poor tells of this
incident, which occurred quite recent
ly while she was making a round of
visits in the tenements. She enter
er one tiny apartment just as the
doctor who was attending a sick child
was leaving. He had ordered for the
little patient a bath as hot as she
could bear. While the visitor was
talking to the physician the mother of
the child came to the head of the
stairs and yelled to her neighbor be
low :
"Mrs. Casey, will you lend me the
loan of a washtub to scald the babby
in?”
Rat Eat Lint.
At the outbreak of the war the med

The official explanation is that the

THE LATEST IN FLYING MACHINES
Sir Hiram Maxim’s newest inven
tion is a mammoth merry-go-round,
with flying machines in place of the
ordinary cars, boats or horses. The
illustration shows one of these ma
chines. For the present they will be
1 attached to the merry-go-round, but
Sir Hiram hopes to alter their con
struction so that they can be let loose
in mid-air. Sir Hiram Maxim’s new
flying machine is not an advance in
the art of self-propulsion through the
air, nor does it profess to be so, since
It is merely a “captive flying ma
chine.” It resembles a huge, roof
! less umbrella, with the ribs sloping
upward, at the ends of which are
suspended fish-shaped cars, in which
the passengers sit. The cars are pro
pelled round and round by the rotat
ing shaft, or umbrella stick, at high
rate of speed, and the sensation of
traveling through the air fifty feet
above ground at sixty-five miles or
so an hour is sufficiently novel and
exhilarating. One of these curious
machines will be among the attrac
tions of this year's' exhibition at
Earl's Court, and another will delight
holiday crowds at the Crystal Palace.
It is said that Sir Hiram intends to
devote the money received through
this invention to the final solution of
the problem of flight in the air.—The

NEVER LOOK FOR DEER.
Advice Given to Beginners by a Hunt
ing Authority.
Persons who have wondered why so
many deer hunters are shot by fellow
hunters may get some light on the
matter from Theodore Van Dyke’s in
structions to sportsmen. He says in
his book on still-hunting: “Having
selected the ground upon which you
are to hunt you will probably, if left
to yourself, go wandering around the
woods with your eyes fixed about
fifty yards ahead of you, expecting at
every turn to see a large calf-like ob
ject standing broadside to you in a
nice open spot, patiently awaiting
your bullet—distance twenty-five or
thirty yards. The first thing you
must do is to lay aside each and
every idea of how a wild deer looks
that you have ever derived from your
imagination, from pictures, even by
the best artists. Look carefully all
around you as far as you can see,
but do not look for a deer. Remember
this singular advice. Do not forget
ft for a moment. One of the great
est troubles that beset the beginner
is looking all the time for a deer. If
the artist’s deer is in sight you will
see him quickly enough. Never mind
that beast at all. Spend all your
time looking for spots and patches of
light gray, dark gray, brown or even
black. Examine all you can see from
the size of your hand to the size of a
small goat. Never mind the shape of
them.’'
What Could Have Happened?
“Never heard what broke up their
friendship! Dear me! I thought
everyone had heard that. Brown is
engaged, you know.”
“Oh, yes! I’ve heard that. Was
White in lov<» with the same girl?”
“No, no. Not at all. But White
saw her portrait in Brown’s room and
asked whose it was. ‘It’s a picture of
my fiance,’ said Brown. White ex
amined it'critically, and then put it
down with the remark that she must
be very rich. I don’t know what hap
pened after that, but White was tak
en home in a cab and neither of them
was seen out of doors for a week.”

Charles Carlsen Lived for Fourteen
Months Alone on Barren Island, and
Is Perfectly Willing to Stay There
All His Life.
Charles Carlsen. the Robinson Cru
soe of Clipperton island, came back to
civilization yesterday on the steamer
Peru, says the San Francisco corre
spondent of the New York World.
For fourteen months he lived all alone
on the barren rock, his only compan
ion during that time being a dog, be
sides a dozen chickens, the myriads .
of sea fowl and the big crabs that \
make their habitation on the flat
island. Except for a rather tierce
mustache and a cowboy hat, Carlsen
looked like anything but an exile a3
hi stood on the Peru's deck.
Carlsen took the position of lone
watchman on Clipperton island from
the Pacific Islands company, which
has a concession lor the rock and its
guano deposits. On February 4, the
schooner Una called at Clipperton
and Carlsen, accompanied by his dog,
embarked for Champerico, where he
caught the Peru and came directly to
this port.
“I knew what to expect when I
when I went to Clipperton,” said Carl- 1
sen. “The men who had been there j
as keepers before me had always had
companions. I was the first to vol
unteer to stay there alone. Time

working here and there and I read
and wrote a great deal. My dog was
companionable and I grew so attach

them served me for a meai.

j ROLL TO THE NORTH POLE j
V - - - - - - -J
Peder Nissen’s pneumatic ball,
“foolkiller No. 3,” is a canvas bag,
thirty feet long and twenty-two feet
in diameter, tapering to a blunt point
at the ends, where there are glass
portholes. The exterior of the con
trivance is covered with several coats
of oil and varnish to render it water
proof.
Inside the whole length of the bag
extends a center shaft, around which,
revolves a hub at each end and from
each hub radiates 120 cotton cord
spokes fixed in the canvas, which
serve to hold the bag in shape and
carry it around the center shaft. Be
tween the spokes, suspended from
the shaft, is a basket or seat in which
the “rolling traveler” sits, steering by
sliding the basket from one end of the
shaft to the other. His only view of
the exterior is through the small port
holes at each end.
After a trial Nisson expects to
“roll” across the lake In the ball, and
if this proves successful he will pre
pare to start for the north pole. He
declares the “foolkiller” will roll
equally well on land, water or ice.—

to the island and a boat was lowered.
I hailed from the reef but the boat
did not come in. When the Una pick
ed me up I was getting tired of the
job. Three men are now on the
island to keep each other company.
My health was improved by the ex
perience.
“At first I busied myself making
repairs to the buildings and imple
ments that were under my charge and
in my brief hours of leisure made
friends with my dog and chickens.
The crow of the roosters and the bark
of the dog were the only sounds that
broke the stillness of the long
months, except for the strange sound
of a shouting of men one day last De
cember, when a boat’s crew from the
British cruiser approached close to
the shore, while their vessel was at
anchor near by.
“The island is about 700 miles off
the Central American shore and the
coasting steamers never pass within
sight of it. All over the island, which
is only about ten feet above the sur
face of the sea, thousands of crabs
are always sprawling, but they are
harmless. The sea birds were so
tame that I could pick them up from
their nests and I was careful to main
tain a close friendship with them.
The birds’ eggs, with the canned pro
visions that had been left for me, to
gether with the sea air, made me a
healthier man than ever before,
though I was a robuset sailor before
I went there.
‘‘Would I return to solitude of the
Island again? Yes, I would not mind
going back. One gets used to the soli
tude and comes to look upon his ani
mal friends as though they were
almost human. Occasionally I would
yearn for the presence of a human
companion, but that feeling would
soon pass away. Since I have return
ed I feel out of place in the noise and
bustle of civilization.
“I believe that one spending his
life as I have spent the last fourteen
months would live to an enormous
age. The absence of care, the healthy
surroundings and the prohibition of
all forms of disipation ought to keep a
man perennially young.

Failed to Recognize His Own Beard.
Lynn was favored not long ago with
a visit from Representative J. Adam
Bede as a banquet guest there. He*
was facetious, as usual, and in the
course of his post-prandial remarks
spoke about the folly of jumping at
conclusions.
“Let me illustrate,” Mr. Bede con
tinued. “I never knew but one locomo
tive engineer who had a long flow
ing beard. He was a friend of mine,
and lived in a certain Western state.
One day he was running about sixty
miles an hour, with a straight track
stretching ahead.
“This engineer poked his head out
of the cab and' the wind whisked his
long beard back in his face. Obey
ing his first thought, that it was a
haystack, he called for down brakes,”
and while his audience was laughing
at this Mr. Bede sprinted away to
another ludicrous observation.

LIFETIME ALL TOO SHORT.
One Sin Southern Statesman Thinks
Should Not Be Forgiven.
United States Senator Edmund W.
Pettus of Albany, though past 80
years of age, never held but one oth
er political office. Back in the early
’50s he was a circuit judge in his
state, and in presiding over a cele
brated murder trial coined an aphor
ism in his charge to the jury so
human that it remains to-day the un
written law of all the South, inalter
able and unchangeable. A lad grown
to manhood returned to a country
town and shot the betrayer of his sis
ter, who had been driven to suicide.
“The state asks your honor to
charge the jury in addition to the
charge already given,” said the pros
ecutor,. “that though the misdeeds of
the dead man would have eventuated
the crime of the prisoner~ff he had
acted under impulse and done nyirder
before cooling time had intervened,
yet if cooling time has intervened
since the wrongs committed by the
dead man the prisoner’s crime is in
no way or degree extenuated.”
Like a flash Judge Pettus turned
and said to the jury: “The court
gives you the additional charge re
quested by the state, and the court
also charges you that in its opinion
man's allotted three score years and
ten are not sufficient time to oool a
wrong like that done the prisoner in
this ease.”
The verdict was “not guilty” at
once.

WOULD HAVE LET THEM DROWN
_ i
Slight Change Critic Suggested in
Young Author’s Book.
“At your request,” said the kindly
critic to the young author, “I have
read your book from beginning to
end.”
“So good of you,” returned the young
author. And now I want you to feel
that you can speak frankly and tell
me just what you think about it. I
suppose you saw a great deal in it
that you would change if it were left
to you.”
“No-o,” replied the kindly critic,
thoughtfully. ‘ On the whole I think
I may say there was very little.”
“Really!’ exclaimed the young au
thor, delightedly. “Do you know, 1
had an idea you’d tear the whole book
to pieces, figuratively speaking, of
course. I can’t tell you how pleased
I am. But of course there are some
changes that you would advise rela
tive to the publication of a second
edition. What are they?”
“There's only one that’s of mouch
importance,’ said the critic.
“And that?” asked the young author
inquiringly.
“Why, that’s where the hero jumps
from the yacht into the ocean to save
the heroine from drowning.”
“Is it to thrilling? Wouldn't you
have him jump after her?” inquired
the young author anxiously.
“No, it’s not too thrilling,” was the
reply, “and of course I would have
him go' in after her. but, you see, they
are both rescued. I would not have
that.”
"You—you wouldn’t have them res
cued?”
“Certainly not. Let them both
drown.”
"But this happens in the first chap
ter—almost the first thing in the
book.”
“Precisely. That’s just when it
ought to happen.”
Before and After.
A pompous man wearing a silk hat.
which surmounted a fringe of white
hair, boarded an elevated train at
Sixty-sixth street. The train started
before he was seated and he lurched
heavily against a giddily dressed
woman. The encounter took place so
quickly that he did not have time to
see his fair neighbor, but a rapid
glance from the corner of his eye, as
he pivoted into place, showed him an
attractive form.
“Beg pardon, miss.” he ejaculated,
as he settled himself and turned
toward her. Then he got a glimpse
of hair as white as his own, and add
ed hastily, “or madame.”
His embarrassment, apparently, was
equaled by her indignation, for at the
first opportunity she moved to an
other seat.—New York Press.

MAKING GOOD ROADS
GREAT PROGRESS UNDER THE
STATE-AID PLAN.
Thousands of Miles of Fine Thorough
fares in Existence In the Northeast.
New York Proposes to Spend $50,
000.000.
In the Northeastern states from
Maine to Pennsylvania more progress
has recently been made in building
good roads than in any other section
->f the United States. This is mainly
due to the adbption of the state-aid
plan.
New Jersey was the first state to
adopt this plan. The law enacted
there in 1891 provided that the state
pay one-third of the cost of improv
ing the roads, and the counties two
thirds, part of which may be charge*]
up to the towns in which the roads
are built. The farmers were at first
opposed to this law, but now the;,
are enthusiastic In its support. More
than a million and a half dollars ha-.*
been appropriated by the state under
this law. Nearly 1,000 miles of road
have been macadamized. The sta'.
aided roads must conform to the plan
laid down by the state commission* r
of highways.
In Massachusetts the state pays the
entire cost of building the roads, bit'
requires the counties to pay back on*
fourth of the cost. Nearly half a m
lion is appropriated annually for tl.:
purpose. Nearly five million dollar
have already been invested in road
by the state. As a result Massachu
setts has hundreds of miles of a- fine
| roads as any in the world.
Connecticut has also operated und r
this plan since 1895. The slat*' pm
up two-thirds of the money for road
building. The plan is considered a
great success. More than a million
and a half has been appropriated an !
spent, and about 500 miles of fire
roads have been built.
In New York State the state pays
one-half the cost of building the
roads, the counties 35 per cent, and
the township 15 per cent, and the
plan is working admirably. Last year
$600,000 was appropriated by the leg
islature, and over two millions have
been voted since the law was enacted.
It is now proposed to raise by an i
sue of bonds fifty millions to be spent
during the next ten years.
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont.
Rhode Island and Delaware all have
state aid laws which are working sat- •
isfactorily, though expenditures and
operations are on a smaller scale than
in the other states named.
The fundamental principal on
which the state aid plan rests is that
the public highways are for the use
and benefit of the whole people, and
that all should, therefore, share in the
cost of their improvement.
From state aid to national aid is
but a single step. Both embody the
same principle. It is an interesting
fact that the people of these states
are enthusiastically in favor of taking
“Uncle Sam’’ into the general scheme
of co-operation. The state highway
commissioners of New Jersey, Con
necticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island
and Vermont are outspoken advocates
1 of national aid; and the New York
legislature has memorialized Con
gress to enact the Brownlow bill.
If national aid would accomplish
for the whole country what state aid
is doing where adopted, it certainly
deserves serious consideration.
On Japanese Torpedo Boats.
A Japanese officer serving on a
torpedo boat has been telling his ex
periences. Very few caught cold, de
spite the bitter weather. The offi
cer attributes this to the fact that
they did not expose themselves to
variations of temperature, as is the
case with men in a big ship where
cabins can be warmed and heat-gener
ating processes employed. On a de
stroyer or a torpedo boat the only
source of artificial heat is a brazier,
and braziers have two serious draw
backs; one that in a little craft pitch
ing and rolling badly live charcoal is
a dangerous companion; the other
that, as all apertures have to be
closed to keep out the sea. the fumes
of a brazier would be perilous. There
was nothing for it, consequently, but
to dispense with all heating appli
ances. and the men, living in a uni
formly cold temperature, seem to
have kept their health better than
they would have done had means of
generating artificial heat been acces
sible.
Be Near.
Rest for the weary hands is good. _
And love for hearts that pine.
But let the manly habitude
Of upright souls be mine.
Let winds that blow from heaven refresh
Dear Lord, the languid air:
And let the weakness of the flesh
Thy strength of spirit share.
And if the eye must fail of light.
The ear forget to hear.
Make clearer still the spirit’s sight.
More fine the inward ear!
Be near me in mine hours of need.
To soothe, to cheer or warn,
And down these slopes of sunset lead.
As up the hills of mom!
—John G. Whittier.
The Boy and the Clock.
Lives there a boy with soul so dead
who never to himself hath said. ‘Til
build a clock?” The common experi
ence of the youthful clockmaker is
with a worn-out or broken-down time
piece which his parents have thrown
away. After tinkering at It for a week
or two he gives it up in disgust. The
mainspring escapes and runs all over
the house. Cogs refuse to fit. Screws
are lost. Now comes a man who un
derstands the youngster’s fancy for
clockmaking. He has invented a take
down clock which a persistent boy of
mathematical bent absolutely can put
together so that it will go “tick-tack”
and keep accurate time.
Bass and Soprano.
In a speech at the Greenroom club.
Wilton Laekaye once said: “No, I
don’t believe in the contention of the
realistic school that a man must ex
perience a condition in order to be
able to describe it. If a man goes
too much into the slums, he becomes
base; if he goes too much into soci
ety, he becomes soprano.”—New
