A Map That Failed.
The French National library in the
Rue de Richelieu, Paris, is full of won
ders for the lovers of history. One of
its treasures Is a map of North and
South America as French possessions.
The map Is dated 1564, and here is the
explanation of it: Catherine de Medi
cis, the queen of Henry 11. and mother
of Francois II., Charles 1. and Henri
III., dreamed once of the conquest of
the two Americas She. even named
viceroys, one for North America and
the other for South America. They
were on their way to the new world
when the queen s audacious plan fell
through because of events at home.
The queen, however, had a map made
showing her projected possessions un
der the French flag.-New York Sun.
