It is supported by four American eagles, standing at the corners of the top of the shaft, with wings partly ex- tended. On the rear of the shaft is a medallion representing Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, the patrons of Co lumbus’ voyage of discovery, and the group of figures is completed by two enormous lions which crouch on ped- estals at the ends of the balustrade. The plan for erecting this memorial was started by a fraternal order, the Knights of Columbus, who solicited contributions from the various ecoun- cils of the order throughout the coun- try. To the large amount of money which this organization raised was added an appropriation of $100,000 by congress and the work of erecting the memorial was given to a commission composed of the chairman of the sen- ale and house committees on the Ii. brary, the secretary of state, the see- retary of war and the supreme knight of the Order of the Knights of Colum- bus, The commission selected the plaza In front of the Union station as the site for the memorial and adopted the design submitted by. Danlel H. Burnham, architect of the Union sta- tion and member of the National Com- mission of Fine Arts, and Lorado Taft, sculptor, both of Chicago. The Capitol contains two striking reminders of Columbus. In the ro- tunda Is the magnificent painting by John Vanderiyn, an Ameriean artist and pupil of Gilbert ‘Stuart, which de plets “The Landing of Columbus.” This picture Is so well known that It needs no further description here, In the lobby of the senate gallery is the A recent visitor to the Agawa®can- yon, along the Algoma Central ralle way, was astonished to observe on the rock-face the well-defined head of an old man, as though roughly carved by some giant sculptor, The Incident started a train of reflection covering the Indian legends of the Northland, Haughty white men, greedily depriv- ing the Indians of their ancient em. pire, long fostered the notion that the red men were “untutored” snd nose Columbus In Washington, there is in the Library of Congress a collection of original documents and rare books relating to the discovery of the New world which are of almost incalculable value and which form the most direct link of the United States with the valiant sailor who made it possible for this nation to be. They constitute a unique “literary memorial” to Co ilumbus and the headliner of them all is the Columbus Codex which has been characterized as a “document of the highest historical Importance and which will be better appreciated as time goes on.” To understand the historical impor. tance of the Codex Is necessary to re- view brefly certain facts about the stormy life of Columbus, especially those which brought this document In- to existence, In 1499, while he was on his third voyage to America, his enemies at home in Spain were doing all they could to bring about his downfall They succeeded In turning King Fer. dinand, who from the first had not been nearly as enthusiastic concern. ing the venture as was his queen, Is abella, against Columbus. And even the queen seemed either disinclined to defend him, or was helpless to do so, So Columbus, who had returned in 1408 from his first voyage as a na- tional hero, now came home in irons and In disgrace. But almost as soon as he had arrived, Ferdinand and ls abella experienced a change of heart. Columbus was Immediately set free and received an Invitation to visit the king and queen, which he did and was warmly received. He told the royal pair of his adventures abroad and re. ceived commendation, However, he was not so successful its way there when Napoleon ordered all archives deposited in the French capital in 1800, and documents were sent from all parts of Europe. Hes titution was later made, hut the Codex apparently wus overlooked. If is in Paris today. The fourth copy, which 8 unae counted for, was on pauper rather than parchment. It went to Don Sanchez de Carvalal, who soon after left for Hispaniola, The documents disappenred and may have been de stroyed, for they have never yet been brought to light, The story of how America came Into possession of Its copy of the Codex is a romantic one. In 1818 Edward Everett, the gifted New England or ator, was rummaging through an old book shop in Florence, linly, when he came across the manuscript of ghout SO pages In characters which ap peared to be those of Columbus’ time. In 1823, the Codex at Geneva was pub lished and Everett discovered that the manuscript in his possession coincided precisely with those in the Genoese volume, After Everctt made this statement in 1824 the manuscript again dropped from public notice and apparently wus forgotten by all concerned. About 1800, Justin Winsor, engaged In his monumental “Life of Columbus” wrote to Dr. William Everett, whose father, Edward Everett, had died, nsk ing whether he might inspect the relic. Doctor Everett wus unable to loente it at that time, but in 1897 It came to fight in the locked lower part of a bookcase, The Codex was finally sold to the Library of Congress hy Doctor Everett for a sum which was nominal compared with what It wonld have commanded In the open market, (® by Western Newspaper Union) sessed no Imagination. As enrly as 1637, however, Father le Jeune, a Jesuit missionary, found they were in the habit of entertaining themselves by fanciful tales, and wrote his opin. lon that “the savages, in point of In. tellect, may be placed In a high rank.
