A flight-of bird.-, coupled with a sail or's supersrition, robbed Columbus of the honor of discovering the continent. It is a curious hut historical fact. When Columbus sailed westward over tlie un known Atlantic, lie expected to reach Zipangu, .lapan. After several days' sail from Gomera, one of the Canary is lands, he became uneasy at not discov ering Zipangu, which, according to his reckoning, shonld have been 210 nau tical miles mora to tho east. After a long discussion he yielded to tho opinion of Martin Alonzo Pinzon, the commander of the Pinta, and steered to the southwest. Pinzon was guided in his opinion solely by a flight of parrots, which took wing in that direction. It was goot^luck to follow in the wake of a flight of birds when engaged upon a voyage of discovery— widespread su perstition among Spanish seamen of that day—and this change in tho great Navigator's course curiously exemplifies bereaved family have the the influence of small and apparently trivial oiMiifw tho U'iM'Irl hictinrv sympathy of tho entire community Mt. Ode ivas in Mitchell la»t woek. trivial events in tiie world's history. If Columbus had held to his course, he would have entered the gulf stream, have reached Florida and then probably have been carried to Capo Ilatteras and Virginia. The result would probably have given the present United States a Roman Catholic Spanish population in stead of a Protestant English one, a cir cumstance of immeasurable importance. "Never," wrote Humboldt, "had tlie flight of birds more important conse quences. "—Current Literature. A Haiintt'd Lumber Camp. Strange tales come from tho Sourd nahunk region iu regard to Jack Reed's depot camp on the road leading to Strickland's mountain. The camp is built over the gra of a man who was killed in some unknown way, and the •woodsmen say the place is haunted. At any rate on every moonlight night a lis tener outside the camp can hear tho soand of rolling stones that apparently are grating, grinding, rattling, plunk ing each other, as though sliding down a steep bank. Diligent search has been made for tho source of this strange noise, but so far no one has solved the mystery. Old lumbermen remomber that tho camp lias been considered to be haunted for years, and the sound of tlie rolling stones has been hoard on many a moonlight, night in tho past. Many lumbermen who are on their way into the Sourdna hunlc region preter to push by the depot camp and take a night tramp rather than sleep over that grave and hoar those grinding, rolling stones.—Bangor News.
