AN ERROR CORRECTED
SAN 1'RANCJSCO, Sept IS—Ameri
ca was discovered in 420 A. D.
which was 1,072 years before Christo
pher Columbus landed, declares the
Right Reverend Dr. Mazzinianda of
San Francisco, Cal., Swami and Lord
Abbot of the Jain Sect of Buddhists.
Five Bubbhist monks from Oobina,
China, made the earlier discovery,
he stated, and the spot where they
landed was near Monterey, Cal.
* ‘ The ship in which the monks
sailed was wrecked near where Mon
terey now stands,” he said. ‘‘The
famous Monterey eypress, the origin
of which has always puzzled scientists
is easily explained. The cypress is a
sacred tree of the Buddist, and we
have records that the monks planted
the Monterey eypress.
‘‘Two of the monks returned to
China, where they related their ex
periences to Emperor Mi-ng Ti of the
Huan dynasty. He ordered the!? ad
ventures written and filed in the
royal archives, where they may be
found-today in Pekin.”

to Mrs. Tongass George, another
native, was soon afire but by that
time the fire hose were put to work
