OLD STORY OF VOYAGE OF 1492 R"de Discovery of Ornaments and Trinkets of a Long-Pas- t Period Has Aroused Archeologists to Speculation as to tlie Makers. o"u FIRES 1'COWS TVXKS was a Christopher Columbus big man with a long, red, freckled face. Such was the description of the discoverer of America In one of the first printed accounts of his discov eries The New Woild, by Michael Herr, published at Strassburg lu 1534 which has just come to light In the collection of old scientific books In the Smithsonian institutions library. Ilerrs accounts are quite naive. Thus he relates the Columbus story : He had good hopes that he could discover before sundown several Islands which would be of great pleasure and use to the people. With regard to those islands that lay la front of India, he himself expected to find costly pearls and all sorts of precious stones; also spices and much gold. The king and queen made fun of him as a man who was engaged in a foolish task and let the thing go as a good Joke. At last after eight years had gone by and Christopher continued to beseech the king, the king began to take the brave, SSKoJim ssusr crows hooting.

Wing, livestock he to Four or five years ago several poor and Ignorant natives were poling their way In a canoe up the Rio Grande de Code, a large river In western Panama about 90 miles south of the Panama canaL The dry season had lowered the river. As the small craft made Its way upstream, the keen eyes of one of the natives noted something glittering in the bank. In a few minutes greedy hands were tearing at the soil, for they had found pieces of gold. The fact that the gold articles were objects of art beaten into curious and beautiful shapes by hands long dead, did not Interest the natives. But it did interest scientists. When word of the find came to the Peabody museum of Harvard university, a party of archeologists went down to lnvestl gate. The scientists worked In secret for three years, and have now returned with a store of gold ob jects worth a kings ransom. In the opinion of Dr. S. K.

Ilall through an ancient burying place. The gold ornaments which excited the interest of the natives were part of the funeral dress of some chieftain, buried not only with his richest possessions of metal and pottery, but surrounded also by his wives, retainers, servants and slaves. The abundance of similar finds made by the Peabody museum party in its three-yea- r sojourn In Panama was almost without precedent. Describing the results of the expedition recently in the New York Times Magazine, Doctor Lothrop reported that from one grave alone, measuring no more than 12 by 14 feet, more than 2,000 objects were removed. The grave contained a Bcore of bodies, laid out in rows upon massive stone slabs. Tiled over and around the bones were 96 different objects of gold, including four heavy pendants, set with semiprecious stones, six gold necklaces containing thousands of beads, four large and heavt ily embossed golden discs, twenty-eighwhich wide Inches 3 about discs had once been sewn on a shirt, four pairs of gold cuffs and twenty four rods of gold with decorated tips, for insertion in the ears. There were 225 pottery vessels, both for domestic service and for reThere were 57 ligious offerings. stone axes and chisels, five gold chisels, 21 stone knives, 100 stone arrow set points, nine mirrors of hematite In limestone discs, pendants and beads of agate, statuettes carved from the ribs of the manatee or sea cow, some of them overlaid with gold; wild boars tusks set in gold, teeth sting ray spines and saw-fisused as spear points, sharks' tooth ornecklaces, crystals, gilded copper naments and many other objects.

Intricate designs beaten In high relief met the eye; huge breastplates embossed with mythological monsters; gold cuffs running In sheets from wrist to elbow, each pair stamped with a distinctive design or property maik (corresponding to our coat of arms) ; complex eastings of strange anthropomorphic gods fashioned in molds over delicate models in wax. The richness, variety and fine workmanship of these possessions indicate that a well established, wealthy and highly organized culture produced them. Doctor Lothrop and bis associates believe, from a study of the relics, that the Tanama peoples were unrelated in culture either to their neighbors the Mayas and Aztecs to the northwest, or the Incas to the south. In short, the discovery of these graves has brought to light remains of a hitherto unknown American civilization, as great and important In its way, perhaps, as any of the others. Who were these people? Histories relate that a party of Spaniards In search of gold left the coast of Pan ama In 1515. Moving inland, they came to a district ruled by a powerful chief named Parita, who by a stratagem administered such a crushing defeat to the Spaniards that they were driven off. Several years later a band of Spaniards searching for him found his body elaborately decked for burial, surrounded by bound captives who were to accompany him to his grave. His body was adorned from head to foot with golden orna meuts and many others were In baskets nearby. Stripping the body and robbing the buskets, the Spaniards returned to the coast with more than 300 pounds of gold. Parita and his subjects were probably remnants of the once great civilization which produced the ornaments and relics recently uncovered by archeologists. From the Literary Digest.

At last he saw while on watch an Island, and as he came closer he saw six Islands, two large ones One of these he called Ilispana and the other he called Johanna, They have never been able to determine defi nitely whether the island Johanna was an Island or not. Still as they sailed along the coast they heard many biids sing, especially nightingales, which lived In the thick forests lu the winter. They also saw much fresh water there which was pleasant to driuk, and many large and beautiful poits as they sailed with the northwest wind. After they had sailed 800 mile and still found no end they thought it to be a part of a continent Therefore they considered to retrace their Journey. To this the storms contributed, for the masts began to loosen. Theiefore, Columbus commanded the ship to be turned In the direction of the rising sun. Thus they came soon to the Island which they nnmed Ilispana and there they explored the land diligently. Then toward midnight as they neared a cape the large ship strut k a rock so Hint It went apart. The boat could not s,nk, however, because the stone was so flat.

There Is no longer any need of poverty. There is no longer class struggle which is rooted In any With intensive physical reality. scientific agriculture, the state of Kansas alone could grow enough food to feed the entire world, and the soil could be constantly revitalized and reconditioned. Working at half the time they do, the workers of this country could produce sufficient automobiles, sufficient shoes and suits of clothes, sufficient apartment houses, bathrooms, detached cottages, kiddle cua, electric cooking stoves, vacuum cleaners and what not for everyone to live at the standard now enjoyed only by the upper middle classes. My generation envisaged this possibility. It was the basis of our optimism and our faith. Now it has come to pass. We have chained the lightning, disci plined the soik If we like, we can go further, and subdue climates and find new sources of power. Mans long struggle with nature Is ended And what 13 the result? Unemployment; poverty; bread lines. We have organized nature. But we have not organized men. An old fashioned man lives In a new fashioned proposition a little moe to heart and undertook to find out what was back of that man and why he stuck to his proposition. Then the king commanded that a galley be outfitted, and he also supplied two swift ships with provisions and whatever else was necessary. When these ships were ready Columbus sailed from the Spanish coast on the first day of the autumn month, lu the year after the birth of Christ 1492, and thus went ou his longdesued Jour Tuna lm RAYMOND KNIGHT and tha SaturCUCKOOS day, 10 p m.
