Springfield, III.?Chinese explorer?, sntedadng Balboa, and perhaps Colum bus. discovered Illinois four or live centuries ago and set the (lug of the Chinese empire on (he cliffs above Alton, according to hi. W. Payne, a local banker, who for many yearn has collected Indian relics and studied (he early history of the western heml sphere. "When Balboa rushed Into the Pa cific. carrying the (lag of Spain, he didn't have even a druggist's prescrip tion for one-half pint of the water of the sea," Payne says. "At the time Columbus discovered America, Cahokla was probably the capital of North America and the most Important western city north of old Mexico. It was situated at tl?t> junc tion of the Illinois, Missouri ami Kas kaskla rivers with the Mississippi a ml win near the mputh of the Ohio. "The country was thickly populated. Probably there were as many people In the country districts as there are to? day. The bluffs of the Mississippi l iver were used as a graveyard and the western coast of the Americas was thickly settled from Alaska to Pata gonia. Old When Pyramids Were Built. "Balboa lived with these people for two years and was told again and again about tho Pacific. Finally, with a guard of 150 Indians he ventured to cross the divide and claim the Pacific for Spain. "As he did It, he was standing over ruins that were old when the pyramids were built. If' he had been attending u big league ball game today he would have drawn a seat In the grass in front of the bleachers. He was the last one through the gate. The Pacific had been discovered and rediscovered again and again before he arrived, and every Island in it of nny ltnportunce was inhabited. "Before Balboa reached the Pacific and probably about the time that Co lumbus was landing on the eastern ex-r tremity of North America, Chinese ex plorers nrrived at the west coast of the country, nnd, following the best marked trails, the Platte trail and the Claff trail, which was centuries old before Clark ever saw it, they penetrated to Uio Mississippi river and the capital of the continent at Cahokla. "Like Columbus and Balboa they claimed the country, and in doing so placed the Chinese flag on the cliffs at Alton. This was later known :is the Plasa bird.' Superficial examination of the painting shows that it Is undoubt edly a Chinese dragon, the national emblem of the empire. Probably Never Returned Home. "In those days there were no after noon editions. It Is doubtful if any one In China knew what the hardy explorers were about. They may have been members of a crew of Chinese pirates, or they may have been adven turers who sailed Into unknown seas out of curiosity. "Furthermore, in those days travel was so difficult that pioneers never ex pected to return to their homes. The European explorers returned to report to their kings, but the Chinese prob ably carried all they owned with thehi. It is improbable that they ever re turned, or that their .discovery was ever announced. Only the painting of the dragon. ?>r Plasa bird, remained^ to tell of their Journey.

Lives of High and Low Influenced by Figures A hook published recently draws attention to a remarkable table that Seddon, the poisoner, complied, show ing how the number 13 influenced him all through his life. ' Murderers seem to be particularly subject to the malign influence of tig ures. Crlppen's unlucky number was 48, and Charles Peace, was evilly In fluenced by 7. The Bible Is full of references to the pdtency of certain figures, notably 8 and 7, while both Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon had sincere" convictions re garding the luck-hrlnging propensities of certain numerals. In connection with this superstition there is the well-authenticated story that the famous Italian charlatan, Count Cagliostro. based his famous prediction concerning Marie Antoi nette's excution and Josephine's ele vatlon to empress by a calculation based on the number of letters In their names.?Cleveland Plain Dealer, ?Vo Ivory Famine The elephant is a very useful an nml, both for draft purposes and for ivory. A few years ago 70,000 were slaughtered annually for their tusk so that it seemed as though there wa n good chance of (In? hi^ animal's he coming- extinct. Wise laws, however, have checked the destruction so that the number is increasing. The war gave the elephants their chance and the British authorities in East Africa have also protected them.
