Librarian Frederick Hild of the Chi- eufto Public library was the first in Chicago to make the discovery that this important historical document, to the publication of which 400 years ago this continent owes its name, was for 1 sale. For the perusal of prospective purchasers Mr. Hild lias a facsimile of the ancient map, giving an excellent reproduction of its eccentricities. The story of the world map. wnich was believed lost centuries ago and was discovered by accident six years ago in the library of Wolfegg castle, is one full of in terest both to the cartogoraphist and to the average American citizen who has heard the account of the naming of the new world. Its publication in the town of St. Die, in the Vosges mountains, on the first printing press ever seen in that quiet village was a sensational event. The world was hungry for information of the marvelous terra Incognita on the western half of the globe, and Martin Wfildseemneller, who was an eager reader of the glowing narratives of Americus Vespucius and the other daring navigators of the fifteenth cen tury, even though he did not have at his command the accurate data fur- nlshed by modern surveying Instru ments. filled a long felt want by the Issuance of his world map. It was a colossal undertaking for the time—eight feet long by four feet six Inches high.. No press was then big enough lo print It. and It was lasned in twelve sections, each 23 1 i by 17% Inches. A thousand maps were print ed. with a small explanatory volume accompanying them called the “Coe- mograpldae Introductlo.” Six years ago It was believed that In the course of four centuries all the copies of the map had been lost and destroyed. But for the explanatory volume Its existence would have been lost sight of. It was recognized that If a copy ever came to light It would be distinguished from all others of Its time by the name “America,” which was for the first time applied to the western continent. Then came the discovery of the unique document. In a rare state of preservation, the woodcuts showing a marvelous clearness of line as well as Intricacy of design. In the region : of the tropic of Capricorn was the name which proved its authenticity.

Liverpool In Thirty Hours, Say Expert Engineers of New Vessel—Small Model Skims Above Surface of Water, Leaving Room For Play of Waves. Sixty miles an hour at sea—the mile a minute craft is here. New York to Liverpool iu thirty hours is to he the next step. These are the amazing claims made by engineering experts for what is de clared by them to be the most stu pendous invention iu the auuals of speed-- a boat, .or gliding craft, built, perfected and set afloat by Peter Coop er Hewitt, the discover of the famous Cooper Hewitt light, says the New York Herald. This new craft, aptly designated gliding, does not cut the water as do other vessels, but actually flies or skims over and clear of the surface. With only his rough model Mr. Cooper Hewitt had glided at the high speed of thirty-eight miles an hour on Long Island sound. He Is certain of much higher speed power. Experts tell him he has invented the mile a minute sea going vessel. “I have attained a speed of thirty- eight miles an hour with my rough Waldseemueller ! model,” said Mr. Cooper Hewitt re cently. “under the necessarily adverse conditions that always confront the early development of an idea. I could build a 100 or a 200 foot vessel that I will guarantee to go fifty-five miles an hour. As to further developments, I would prefer to take the predictions of the competent engineers who have seen my craft in Its performances. Certain it is that these experts declare that the mile a minute craft is here.” Lying in the shadow of the yacht Reliance, off Jacobs’ shipyard, on Long Island sound, is the little craft that appears to experts more of a dis covery than an Invention. This gliding craft, as Mr. Cooper Hewitt calls his vessel, is scow built, twenty-seven feet over all. with a four and a half foot beam and carrying an eight cylinder gasoline motor. Like many other inventors who have been successful with their ideas, Mr. Cooper Hewitt set out for one destina tion and arrived at another. He start ed to build a flying machine and In vented a marvelous gliding craft This device that looks like a scow and flies over the water has a hull of mahogany. It is very shallow, merely a shell to carry the machinery when the craft is not moving. Mr. Hewitt's original plan called for two long, hol low air tanks mounted on a frame, catamaran fasbion, but he found ex perimentation simpler with the shal low shell. A strong steel frame, similar to that of an automobile, extends over the sides of the shell and across either end, the cross sections of the frame being equidistant from their respec tive ends of the craft. From each cor ner of the frame there are dropped Into the water perpendicular steel arms. These arms extend eighteen inches be low the bottom. To the arms are fastened steel planes having a slant upward in front of about 1 in 8. The bottom sub merged planes have two square feet of surface, and those above it are larger. The total supporting surface SODA FOUNTAIN IN A CHURCH Novel Method of Attracting Attendance of Churchgoers In Hot Weather. A soda water fountain In a church will be the novelty presented at the Central Church of Christ Disciples In Syracuse. N. Y.. says the New York Sun. The Rev. Joseph A. Serena, the pastor, announced recently that the church would take steps to make It at tractive for those who came to church in hot weather. He has given the question of decreased attendance in summer time considerable attention and believes the way to overcome the problems presented is to make people comfortable. The fountain will be placed in the lobby, and the soda will be drawn and served to people In their seats. He will start operations by serving lemon ade to nil who come. There will be Ice water for those not desiring lemon ade. Electric fans will be Installed. Mr. Serena believes churches should not close up in the summer, as the hosts of evil are at work all the time. Hospital Ward In Tents. There is no novelty in the care of hospital patients out of doors in a tent, it is rather unusual, however, for an entire hospital ward to be transferred to the open, as is now being done with in the Inclosure of the Massachusetts General, says the Boston Transcript. It happened in the early spring that much repairing was necessary in ward 1G, and after long consideration as to its practicability the plan to take the entire outfit—patients, apparatus and all—into the courtyard was adopted, and so satisfactory are results that the open air ward may be continued until the cold weather returns again. A row of tents accommodates the wo men and children. Others serve as storeroom and kitchen, and a third is equipped with hot and cold water and all the plumbing arrangements similar to those within the great building. Electric lights are everywhere. There is an incentive to convalescence In the pleasant views of the grass, trees and street, where there Is not too much passing. A little beyond is the Charles river, sparkling in the sunshine as it nears “the rest It fiudetb in the bosom of the sea.” BAD BLOOD THE SOURCE OF ALL DISEASE Bvery parti When thl* tile and richnoM ai pure blood la body is fed on weak, fanpom < Ibength, dia Pustular aiuutlmia, that the bloodia in a 1 dkordara that wQI Oontagia n conanx the Mood for noariahment and flowing through the system in a state of leond of perfect and uninterrupted health | •adta-fnard agalaaft disease.

The motor is set forward, and the single screw turns Just back of the front sets of planes. On either side of the shell is a gasoline tank.

A year or so ago un Interesting controversy arose over the question as to whether the sunflower constituted a weed.
