COLUMBUS' DEATH.

b of a. Vmnelsefto.
' The (Treat world-finder, to whose
memory much honor is due and given,
was in his time variously known as
Christopher Columbus, Cristobal Colon
and Christophoro Colombo. Colon Is
the one which appears on the inner lid
of the small leaden ease which contains
all that now is left of the mortal part of
the great navigator.
He, worn out with age, hard work
and bad treatment, died on May 20,

1SCK1, at the age of 70, and was buried at
'Valladolid, in Spain.
The feast of the Ascension was the
: day of his death; and he died robed in a
' Franciscan habit, as his beloved queen
and protector had done.
The cold and heartless Ferdinand
gave Columbus a grand funeral, think
ing tjo do himself honor by it, and seven
years afterwards he reared to Columbus
: marble tomb, : whose inscription has
since become famous, both for itself
and the memory of him who lay be
neath. His remains were afterwards taken to

the Atlantic to the island of San Do
mingo, which had been named by Co
lumbus nispaniola and was the princi
pal settlement of his own discoveries in
his-own time.
In 1796, after the cession of San Do
mingo to the French, they were again
dug up and placed in the cathedral of
Havana. There they now repose under
a peculiar monument. There is a claim
that the real remains were not removed.
There would be poetio justice in plac
ing the tomb of Columbus in San Do
mingo, the island with which his great
est activity as a discoverer is associated,
and the place where with the timbers of
his wrecked flagship he built the first
European habitation in America. The
chains placed on him by Itabadilla dur
ing his imprisonment, and which he de
clared should be removed by no less au
thority than that of his royal master
and mistress, he kept in his study after
wards as a memorial and ordered that
they should be buried with him.

GREEN TEA.
Interesting; Facts Concerning One
v of Our Popular Table Luxuries.
PTea. is a plant that grows in China.
Japan and other parts of the world.
There are two varieties, thea nigra and
the viridis black and green tea. Tht
same plant produces both kinds. Creen
tea is made by one kind of treatment,
black tea by another. The shrub, says
the Detroit Free Press, is raised from
seed like hazel nuts, planted in nurse
ries; it is set out when about a foot
high, lives for fifteen or twenty years
and grows sometimes as tall as six feet.
It is picked four times a year. The first
pioking is the best when the leave!s are
covered with a whitish down. This Is
in April, the next in May, the next in
July, the last in August. One China
man can pick about thirteen pounds oi
leaves per day, for which he receives
sixty eash, or sis cents. The green
leaves are spread out on bamboo frames
to dry a little, the yellow and old de
fective leaves are picked out, then they
take up a handful of the leaves, cast
them in a heated pan, get them warmed
up and squeeze out the superfluous
juice; this juice contains an acid oil, so
acid as to irritate the hands of the work
men. Then they dry them slightly in
the sun; then every separate leaf ia
rolled up into a little ball like a shot;
then they throw these green tea shot
Into a pan slightly heated, stirring
them np so as to warm every part alike;
then they cool the tea, and the shot if
picked out one by one, the best for the
first or finest chop. Than it is packed.

THE FIRST LUCIFER MATCH.
An English Member of Parliament Tells
of Ills Discovery.
It isjiot generally known that it is to
Isaac HoWen, M. 1, that we owe the
invention of the lucifcr match. This
discovery was, ho himself has told a
writer in the Pall Mall Budget, the re
sult of a happy thought. "In the morn
ing I used to get up at 4 o'clock in order
to pursue my studies, and I used at that
time the flint and the steel, in the use
of which I found very great inconven- '
ience. Of course I knew, as other
chemists did, the explosive material
that was necessary in order to produce
Instantaneous light; but ib was very dif- j
ncult to obtain a light on wood by that
explosive material, tmd the idea oc
curred to me to put sulphur under the
explosive mixture. I did that, and
showed it in my next lecture on chem
istry, a course of which I was deliver
ing at a large academy. Thorc was,"
added Mr. lloldcn, "a young man in the
room whoso father was a chemist in
London, and ho immediately wrote to
his father about it, and shortly after
ward lucifer matches were issued to the
world. I believe that was the first oc
casion that we had the present lucifcr
match. I was urged to go and take out
a patent immecliately, but I thought it
was so small a matter and it cost me so
little labor that I did not think it proper
to go and get a patent; otherwise I have
no doubt it would have been very profit
able." Buckieii'a Arnica aalve.

the Spanish court fond of letter-writ
ing and having correspondents in dif-1
ferent parts. To him we owe it prob
ably that the news of the great discovery
spread soon to some notable people.
This was Peter Martyn d'Anghiera.
He dated a letter the first one at Bar-
celona, in the ides of May mentioning 4
the event, which he sent to Joseph lior- j
romeo. He derived his information !
from Columbus himself, with whom he
often talked. Some of these epistles
are still extant.

The oldest engraved likeness of

NEW THINGS IN THE MOON
Photography Reveals Unknown
Objects on the Planet
Interesting Discoveries Made by Astron
omers Through the Use of the
Telescope Lunar Craters
and Chasms.
Astronomical photography has ac
complished many wonderful results,
but nothing perhaps more surprising
than its discoveries upon the moon, says
the New York Sun. The moon is so
near by and has been so carefully
studied with the most powerful tele-,
scopes for hundreds of years that the
astronomers had come to think that
they knew pretty much all about it, or
at least about that face of the moon
which is turned toward the earth. But
it turns out that photography possesses
the power to reveal things upon the
moon which cannot be seen by the eye
even with the aid of the best of tele
scopes. A careful study of the nega
tives of the moon made with the aid of
the great Lick telescope has revealed
the existence of many unknown objects
there, including great crater mountains
and rifts or chasms in the surface of the
moon, as well as some of those- myste
rious objects which go under the de
scriptive name of bright streaks or rays.
Near the great crater which we call
Copernicus another crater of nearly
equal dimensions is shown upon the
negatives, although it is absent from
the most elaborate maps of the moon,
and cannot be seen even with the Lick
telescope, except when the magic eye
of the camera, .instead f the human
retina, is applied to look for it. When
it is considered that this mysterious
crater represents the remains of a
mountain ring more than fifty miles in
diameter it appears exceedingly strange
that it should escape detection by the
telescope when directed to the moon,
and yet be visible upon a photograph of
the moon. The reason appears to be
that the walls of this newly discovered
aratcr were long, ago destroyed, being
razed by some denuding force nearly to
the level of the surrounding surface. It
is, consequently, but the remnant of a
jTreat crater ring. Even in that condi
tion, however, it would he visible to the
eye but for the fact that its huge neigh
bor, Copernicus, whose walls are still
standing to a great height, is surrounded
by enormous masses of luminous ma
terial, which looks like lava, that must
have overflowed the surrounding coun
try ages ago, and reflects back the light
of the sun to our eyes with overpowering
brilliancy. The glare of this broad re
flecting surface, covering hundreds of
square miles, is so great as to conceal
the comparatively low relief of the
broken crater ring.
" ""In fji-v.) rc lsnot improbable? rfcHat
Copernicus is responsible for the disap
pearance of the other great crater,
which doubt less was the predecessor of
Copernicus, and once towered up to an
equal height above the surrounding
plains. After it had ceased to be an
active volcano, and Copernicus had
burst forth, the latter probably over
whelmed it with torrents of lava, which,
filling up the space within its broken
walls nearly to the level of their tops,
submerged it, so to Speak, beneath the
new surface thus formed, so that only
the summit of its broken walls remains
to be caught by the acute vision of the
photographic plate.
In other parts of the moon similar
events appear to havo taken place, and
there are a number of large craters,
enormously greater than any volcanic
craters upon the earth, which seem to
have been buried by the outburst of
lava from subsequently-formed vol
canoes in their neighborhood, so that
only portions of their mountain walls
now remain visible.
Another discovery, also arising from
inspection of the negatives made with
the Lfck telescope, relates to the won
derful system of bright rays surround
ing the most perfect crater in the moon,
Tycho. This extinct volcano is sdme
fifty-four miles In diameter, and is sur
rounded on the outer side of its lofty
walls by a comparatively level region,
gome twenty-five miles broad, of a much
darker hue than that of the crater it
self, or of the surrounding country be
yond. The hundreds of great streaks
which radiate from Tycho like the
spoke's of a wheel, varying in width
from ten to twenty or thirty miles, and
in length from a few miles to' nearly
two thousand miles, having al
ways appeared, when viewed with a
telescope alone, to take their rise from
the outer edge of the dark rim sur
rounding the crater, but the Lick nega
tives show that some of the streaks at
least pass through this dark rim and
extend clear np to the very walls of the
water. The suggestion that these mys
terious streaks had their oi igin in the
volcanic energy of Tyelm when it was
still an active crater is sti'nn;;Uieni!(l by
this evidence that the st reaks actually
reach to the crater itself.
. These discoveries are likely to give
renewed interest to the study of the
moon's surface, and while it is perhaps
to much to epect that a great deal of
light will be thrown by astronomical
photography upon the question whether
evidences of the fresunt or former ex
istence of life npon the moon cr.n be de
