FAMED SAKTA MARIA.
COLUMBUS' FLAGSHIP COMPARED
WITH MODERN SAILING VESSELS.
the Wonder to the Mariner of Today Is
How the Navigator Crossed the Ocean
tn His Little Caravol?A Facsimile for
Ihe World's Fair.
Spain is now in the midst of a series
of fetes in commemoration of the dis
covery of America which will last till
late in October. On the 3d of August,
date of the saiiing cf Columbus from
Palos, the jubilation began, and of all
the sights the exact reproduction of the
flagship of Columbus, the Santa Maria,
excited most amazement. Among the
sailors in the vast gathering there was a
loud chorus of astonishment and unbe
lief. Almost unanimously they de
clared that such a ship had not done the
t&isg?it was*irrpossible.
THE NEW SANTA MARIA..
It is indeed hard to believe that the
Mittle caravel of 240 tons at the outside
?oald have made such a voyage, and
when one compares it vnth the large
-sailing vessels cf today he may well be j
incredulous. With the achievements
of steam and practical science we are
tolerably familiar., but the fact ? then
(though sailing vessels antedate written
history, the progress therein since 1452
is as great as in anything else) comes to
one as a great surprise. Compare the
little Santa .Maria with, for instance,
the magnificent Shenandoah, the Ameri
can four masted bark and queen of all
sailing vessels, vrhich a few months ago
went from San Francisco to Liverpool
with 5,002 tons of wheat cn board.
Consider first the big sailer. The
Shenandoah. commanded by Captain
Murphy, was one of the live which left
the Bay cf San Francisco last-year on
the famous race around the, Horn. They
sailed at high tide, of necessity, as they
drew twenty-seven feet of water. The
weight of wheat aboard, 5.C02 tons, was
the greatest cargo cf the kind ever
placed in a vessel and equivalent to
168,733 bushels, cr the crop of an aver
age agricultural county. An adequate
description of the Shenandoah would
fill a column. Sailer as she is, >he j
'*makes sail by stcum,^ as sailors say? j
that is, the sails are pulled into place I
by a little donkey engine, and of all
glorious sights to the seaman's eye there j
is none more glorious than to see her J
swell from bare poles to full rig cf
snowy sails in less than five minutes.
The Santa Maria might have been
placed on the deck of the Shenandoah
without adding perceptibly to her
weight of cargo. She was a decked ves
sel, and while the Spanish historians do
not deal in exact measurements they are
so minute in details cf her capacity that
her size is known. Captain Gnstavus
W. Fox, after a very careful calculation,
declares that her length was "C3 feet
over all and 07 feet along her keel,'*
with 20 feet beam end 10}-i feet in depth,
fier crew consisted of fifty seamen, and i
in the list are found the names of one
Englishman and cne Irishman. It is
really a pity that this list is not certain
ly authentic: it weald be interesting to
know the name of the first Irish emi
grant to America. This historic vessel
was wrecked on Christinas eve, 1402, on
the coast of Qispaniola, a calamity due
to the gross carelessness of the sailing j
master.
Small as she was. her consorts, the j
Pinta and the Nina, were coi>siderab7.y
smaller, being mere barks, railed cara
vels, without decks, unless the high
prow and stern may bo so called, in ths
TH2 S2EXAXDOAIL
center such a vessel was absolutely open j
end in no respect superior to the fishing !
craft and other light coasting vessels of j
today. That men should have been
willing to dare- the passage of the j
stormy Atlantic in sue!: craft gives us a '
high idea of their courage, and as a
matter of fact only Columbus. Las |
Casas, the Pinzons and two cr three
other mad enthusiasts were willing, j
The crew consisted ehfcfiy cf desperate
characters compelled to take the trip. ;
Many were released from prison to go, j
and some had tu en condemned to death !
and vohmtered as a bare chance for lire, j
Our astonishment is but slightly miti- j
gated when we read thai Columbus did :
not ask for large vessels, for there were
many in the Spanish ports larger than
these. lie firmly beiieved that the ;
voyage would be comparatively short
end the sea where he was going always
smooth, and he particularly requested 1
esch vessels as would enable him to run '
close in along the shores and sail up the j
rivers. On his third voyage, when be
actually reached South America. he
complained of the size of his vessel ;
which rendered coast exploration diffi
cult.
The Spanishauthorities declare that
the Santa Maria of lv'.>2 is an exact re
production in ever}- detail of that cf ;
1492. It has the same old fashioned j
shape, the same primitive masts, rig- j
gings and sails, and even the same ar- :
marnent of falconets and mortars, hal
herds and. arquebuses. The cabin of the
commander is furnished in the style of
the Fifteenth century, and its table is
littered with maps, documents and nan
tical instruments of the period. Final
ly, its mastheads are decorated with toe j
royal standards of Castille and Leon, in ;
exact imitation of the flags which Co- !
lunibus planted in the New World on |
Oct. 12. The vessel is manned by j
excellent crew, obtained from among j
the rishormen and sailors of Cadiz and j
tau Fernando, and placed/ under the I
royal navy.
At the opening of the Spanish fetes,
on Aug. 3, the vrar vessels of all nations
were at Huelva to salute the uew Santa
Maria on her hrst vo}*age down the river,
and her entrance into the Bay of Cadiz
was greeted by deafening salvos. As
there was almost a dead calm, however,
she had to be taken in tow by a gnu boat,
which marred the representation some
what. Later, however, she sailed out
beautifully on the route taken by Colum
bus, and returned to receive renewed
salutes. At this naval congress of na
tions the fact was humorously com
mented ?n that Columbus took with him
for interpreter a scholar who knew Lat
in, Greek- Hebrew, Arabic, Coptic and
Armenian, in addition to Spanish; that
this learned gentleman was a failure in
the New World, and that the first to
master any of the Indian tongues were
the most illiterate sailors. But this is
an oft repeated experience.
J. EL Beadle.
A Common Malady.
**i caine into a little money a few
months ago," said the sad man, "and as
I had been working for others all my
life I thought 1 would go into business
for myself. I took a look at about fifty
stores th?t "rere advertised for sale, and
by the time I got through investigating
I knew it all and flattered myself that
the man wasn't living who could get
the better of me. Nearly all the places
offered for sale had a run down look
about them that told only too plainly
why their owners were anxious to get
out of business. On the other Jiand,
some of the stores had that unmistakable
evidence of newness about them that I
was quick to see that they were merely
got up to sell by sharpers and had no es
tablished trade at all.
"At hist 1 bought, ont a cigar store.
It was sold cn account of sickness, and
no one could doubt the owners word
who saw him. Ke was the sickest look
ing mm I ever saw, and 1 didn't ques
tion him very closely because I felt that
a man who was as near dead as he was
wouldn't be apt to lie. But I couldn't
have bought a worse business if I had
tried. During the three months I was
there 1 don't think there was a single
day when I didn't smoke more cigars
myself than 1 sold. At last the man
nest door asked me how I was making
out, and when 1 told him he wanted to
know what excuse the other man had
given for selling.
" 'It was on account cf sickness,' I
said.
" 'Did -he tell yon how he got sick?*
the man asked.
" \No,' I replied.
" 'Well,' he rejoined in a low and sym
pathetic voice, 'the poor fellow get sick
trying to-make the place pay.'"?New

TVby Rats Are Danjerous Fassengers.
A most remarkable instance of the
mischief which the rat is capable of do
ing came to light during the proceedings
cf a naval court of inquiry' held in Au
gust, 1S75, for the purpose of investigat
ing the cause of the loss of the bark
Commodore of Hartlepool. The vessel,
which was burned at sea, had been
loaded with a cargo of timber, and tb_*
fire broke out in the hold in a most mys
terious manner. It was eventually
proved, cn the evidence of the entire
crew, that beyond a shadow cf doubt
the outbreak was originated by a rat
carrying off a lighted candle, which had
stood in the forecastle and wir?presently
missed by the sailors, and c rapping it
among the dry and. resinous pine stowed
below.
The Shipping Gazette, in commenting
upon this extraordinary case at the time,
and speaking of the danger generally of
rats on shipboard, said that "they have
caused the foundering of many ships by
gnawing holes in the planking or so eat
ing away the inner sides of the wood a?
to leave very little for the straining of
the hull to do in completing the aper
ture; they have been known to nibble
the timoer at the waterways until the
wood \v:;? so ihm as to admit rainwater
through it: they will attach the bungs
of casks and create leakage; find out the
soft parts of the knees or lining, and j
make a passage for themselves from one
part to another.** So fully has the dan
ger of this now come to bo recognized
that such contingencies are generally
provided for in the insurance of wooden
built ships.?Chambers' Journal.
Aii Observing Iiak^r.
During a war between Austria and
Turkey a baker in his cellar kneading
bread noticed a slight* noise rising and
falling at intervals, which seem od to
couie from a distant corner of his cellar.
He stopped his work, and tracing the
sounds discovered that they were caused
by a few marbles dancing up find down
on the head of a little drum his child
had left there.
The majority of persons would have
be<m satisfied to attribute the motion of
the marbles to the rumbling in the
street, cr to the occasional tiring cf guns,
t :it this man was an observer.
Surprised at the perfect regularity
with which the marbles jumped from
the dram head, he put his ear to the
ground and noticed a distant tapping,
lie recalled how as a boy he had heard
from one end of a long log a companion
scratching with a pin upon the other
end, and he judged that the earth was
just such a conductor of sound as the
log had been.
Suddenly it Cashed upon him that
what he heard was the sound cf a pick,
and that the Turks were doing what had
so long been feared, undermining the
ory. The news was carried to tho Aus
trian general, examination made, r?
counter mine prepared and exploded, and
the Turks put to Gight.?Youth's Com

EMINENT SUICIDES.
Clive and Castlereagh Killed Themselves
and Napoleon Attempted To.
The history of suicides presents a long
array of eminent victims. The suicides
of antiquity are not considered, for men
were educated in those days to embrace
suicide when all was lost. We do not
find many conspicuous instances cf sui
cide in the Middle Ages. Outdoor ac
tivity and an intensely practical life was
the rule with men of sensibility outside
of convent walls, and suicide was not
common until the Eighteenth century,
when men of sedentary lives began to
multiply. The Nineteenth century is
conspicuous for suicides compared with
the Eighteenth, and the most studious
nation in the world, Germany, furnishes
the largest list of suicides.
Next to Germany, France furnishes
the largest list of suicides among civil
ized peonies. The English are not prone
to suicide. Their love of outdoor sports
keeps them free from dyspepsia and dis
orders of the liver, and their native
courage and endurance prompts them
to cling to live even when life is but one
long, ceaseless round of pain. Three
eminent Englishmen committed suicide,
Lord Clive, the founder cf England's
Indian empfre; Sir Samuel Romilly, a
great jurist and philanthropist, and
Lord Castlereagh. a famous statesman,
England's representative in the congress
of Vienna after the fall of Napoleon.
Clive was a hypochrondriac from
youth, and used opium in his last years;
Romilly was despondent over the death
of his wife, and bitterly repented his act
with his dying breath. The self de
struction of Castlereagh was never
clearly explained. Napoleon attempted
suicide. Frederick the Great prepared
for it by carrying poison in his clothes
during his dreadful fight for his crown.
No eminent American has ever commit
ted suicide, although snicide is more
common hi America than in England,
owing doubtless to the intensity of our
struggle for wealth and fame.
Insane men are frequently suicides,
but it can hardly be said that all sui
cides are insane. The paralysis of the
instinct cf self preservation may result
from severe mental and bodily suffer
ing, and the deliberation and seeming
sanity of the suicide's preparation for
death, the calmness of his last words,
would often seem to forbid the theory
of insanity. The hopeless consumptive, j
the victim cf cancer, not seldom com- j
mits suicide to secure that sudden stop
to suffering that we call humanity when
extended to a wretched brute. Suicide I
is rare among savage tribes, probably
because they are so occupied with pure- j
ly material matters that they have no I
time for spiritual agony or severe men
tal strain, or a costly round of various
vi'*es.?Kansas City Journal.
Chased hy a Wild Car.
*T was chased once by a box car,"'
said Harry G. Moore, an ox-railroad
man. "It was out in Colorado, the land
of steep grades and sharp curves. We
were sliding down the mountains one
day with a baggage car and two coaches.
I was on the rear platform looking at
the road when 1 descried a box car
coming down the grade at a rate of
speed that was appalling. If it struck
ns we were gone sure, for it would
smash the entire train into kindling
wood and pile it up in one cf the gorges.
Our only hope was either to cntrun or
wreck it. The engineer caught sight of
it at the same instant that I did and put
the lever down among the tallow pots,
[t appeared impossible that we could
hold the track 011 the sharp curves while
moving more than a mile a minute, but
we did, and the box car continued to
saw wood.
"If we could once get to the foot of
the grade we would he safe, but that
was soon seen to be impossible. Rapidly
as we were going the box car continued
to gain upon ns, and now we could seo
I hat it was leaded with iron. Some
thing must be done and that quickly.
Add the passengers had fied into the for
ward coach and were hanging on to the
seats. I signaled the engineer to shut
^ff, set a brake hard on the rear coach,
pulled the pin and the engineer opened
the throttle. We had not gone 100 yards
before the box car ran into the coach
and sent splinters flying a quarter of a
mile high. Both went plunging over into
x chasm."?St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Two Fact* About a Rinjj.

1 charming girl whose grace and beauty

which ho fondly hoped would enable
him to make at one brilliant stroke an
glegant proof of Jus ready wit and his
boundless affection. Glancing at a
modest band of gold that encircled her
fair finger, he remarked, "Sweet dam

"Indeed, sir," promptly replied the
maiden; "you must excuse me if i keep
