new literary weekly published pub-lished in Chicago is along and interesting in-teresting editorial devoted to E P Vining recent freight traffic manager mana-ger of the Union Pacific and now commissioner of the Western Tru kLine k-Line association It appears that not only is Mr Vining an able writer on aBroad subjects but is among the first thinkers aud readers of the age and a thorough philoogist being master of sixteen languages including Ohinese the most arduous of languages lan-guages bat which Mr Vining found it necessary to learn in writing II An Inglorious Columbus U a work he is now engaged on and which will consist con-sist of about 1800 pages When we consider that in compiling this work Mr Vining has brought into use some 250 books has examined fully 500 made 2500 references and made himself him-self a linguist that he might make his own translations parhaps we can eonokve of bis ability in the literary world The Current says that among American philologists possibly there is no one more accomplished than Mr Vining educated in the common schools of Buffalo in the naval service ser-vice during the war and deeply immersed im-mersed in duties as a railroad official since he has though still a young man found time to pursue with un flogging zeal and enjoyment the study of philology and to acquire such a profound knowledge of the science he must speedily take high position among those scholars of the world who have made their scholarship profitable pro-fitable to mankind Some yeara ago Mr Vinings attenti was attracted to the question of fbe first discovery America particularly to the claim made by t e Chinese that H wui Shan a disciple Buddha had visited this country long before the landing of Columbus and had returned to tell a wonderful story This Chinese narrative nar-rative has been a matter of much controversy con-troversy but Mr Vining concluding there was much more to be raid on the subject has spent the last two years on An Inglorious Columbus which will be looked for with much I interest r |
