the great explorer per-
petuated iu u new and
perhaps the greatest of
all memorials ever erect-
ed to him. For many
American visitors to
Spain, drawn there by
the two expositions, one
in Seville and the other
In Barcelona, during the past sum-
mer, also made a pilgrimage to Pnlos
and there saw the colossal figure of
the navigator, standing with arms
resting on the traverse of a great
cross, his eyes directed westward,
looking out over blue waters of the
Atlantic upon which lie set sail from
Palos In 1492 to discover a new world.
The statue, the work of an Ameri-
can sculptress, Mrs. Harry Payne Whit-
ney, was unveiled last April with np
proprlate .ceremonies in which retire
sentatives of both Spain and the
United States took part. The plac-
ing of this monument. America's gift
In appreciation of Spain's backing of
the Columbus expedition, is another
example of a memorial which not
only hrfnors a great personage in his
tory but which also makes more bind
Ing the ties of friendship between
two nations. The plan to erect this
memorial grew from a suggest loti
made in l!>'J0 at a dinner given to the
Spanish ambassador in Philadelphia
The money necessary for its erection
was secured through contributions
from American individuals and iusti-
tut Ions. The total cost of it was
$250.1 KH .
The statue consists of a 70-foot
figure of Columbus surmounting a 44-
foot base surrounded by a park and
garden. The figure as made by Mrs.
Whitney follows the authentic repro
duction of Columbus made by Paulus
Jovius and still in possession of the
Orchl at Como. On the four corners
of the pedestal are carved reliefs rep
resenting the hemispheres and within
the base is a 20-foot chamber In
which figures of Ferdinand and Isa
bella sit In royal garb. The walls of
the chamber are covered with reliefs.
Including the arms of Castile. l«on
and Aragon. and also a map of the
world as It was known before Colum-
bus's discovery of America. There Is
also an appropriate memorial to ihe
crews of the Santa Maria, the Nina,
and the PInta. The statue Is of gran
lte from the famous Hibla Quarries.
Jnst as this memorial Is the great-
est among those erected to his mem-
ory In Europe, so Is the national nmn
umenl to Columbus In Washington.

mcrttirliil. which stands on the plaza
In front of the Union station In the
National Capital, was designed by
panlel H. Burnhnm. architect of the
Union station and member of the Na-
tional Commission of Fine Arts, and

deep, ndorned with a great statue of
Columbus and other appropriate fig-
ures. At the rear of the fountain
rises a stone shaft more than forty
feet high surmounted by a globe of
the world. Against this background
appears the statue of Columbus who
is represented as standing on the
prow of a vessel with arms folded
looking out over the waters through
which his little ship is sailing. The
figurehead of the ship is a female
figure, typifying the spirit of discov-
ery, and immediately below it is the
great basin of the fountain.
On either side of the shaft are mas-
sive figures portraying tiie New and
Old world—the New. by the figure of
an American Indian, reaching over his
; 'ioulder for an arrow from his quiv-
er. and the Old. by the figure of a
patriarchal Caucasian, heroic in phy-
si.iue and thoughtful in mien. The
globe at the top of the shaft repre
sents the influence of Columbus on
the growth of man's knowledge of the
«hnpe of the earth. Supporting it are
four American eagles standing at the
corners at the top of the shaft with
wings panlally extended.

An even greater memorial to Colum-
bus than any which has yet been
erected will some day be a landmark
in u land intimately connected with
the history of the great explorer. Tor
ihe nations of the two Americas are
planning to co-operate in honoring him
with the erection of a four-tnillion dol-
lar lighthouse us a beacon for navi
gators of both the sea and air. in the
capital of Santo Domingo, the land
which Columbus called Hispaniola. A
tract of 2,500 acres of waterfront land
has been set aside by the Dominican
republic for a pan-American park in
which the lighthouse is to be built
and money has been appropriated for
this republic's share of the cost of the
memorial. Appropriation bills fur
that purpose have already been Intro
duced in the United States. Cuba and
other Latin-American countries. K<-
nancing of the project, which is being
carried forward under the auspices of
the Pan-American Uni< n. is reported
to lie in an advanced stage with Its
success assured and the next step will
lie an architectural contest in which
the leading architects of the world will
be invited to submit designs.
