Letter Frani 'Switzerland,
Dann A•foitnmrros,—I am seated in a
betel looking out upon orieal the,rmcet
beautiful lapse I eVUr saw, With the roar
of the " aleseba0k." a 5 00000 Swiee
meads, or rather.- a euaoeseion of
nae0atlee in my eerie It is right outside
Oar windowsand robust tile Boone le
beautiful, the roar is deafening. We
ebout to each other at the tope of oar
voioea to make ourselves heard and it ie
very aomioal, X' think, if I remember
rightly, I left you at $traaeburg in my
ias4letter,so W8613611 proceedfront there,
We Went from $traseborg to Rauh/Lunn
on the Rhine to a hotel overlooking
the 'Palle' of the Rhine," whioh is ion
eidered one of the most magnificent
fells in Europe, though but an infant
when compared to the lordly Niagara.
The nest day we gat a carrlage to drive
to the old untie or sobloe0, built home
500 years ago right beeido the falls,
From the hotels foot petit couneuled by
ferry boats with the castle, will lead you
there in twenty initiates, bat the folk
preferred driving apd the 500018r (our
porter) told them we could drive there
in halt an hour and Ree the town besides,
ao off we went, 11.0 the end of half au
hour we bad barely left the old town
with its narrow streets babied and no
place was the uaetle to be seen, eo we
drove no, up hill, down dale, admiring
the landscape of nurse, but ae l,lro, R.
Bays, "When I set out for a cantle I want
e.oaatio," and at the end of one and a
quarter hours we drew Ap at the gates
of the one time stately home of a sturdy
German baron. The rooms today eon
lain coats of mail, implements of war,
and many other things of interest, and
wherever you go you nod something for
sale at exorbitant prices. We got a fine
view of the Fella and its volume is much
more impressive than when viewed from
the betel, bat we 000ld not stay long for
We had already anuroaohed upon our
dinner hour. On our way batt we atop.
pod to buy a trunk strep and the
Atuerioon paid American prices. It ie
fanny to see bow the European "soaks"
the Auierioau to his purchases. If I
were the American I dare say it would
not be so funny, but I'm not had the
Humorous Bide to very evident to me,
The olerk will feign ignorance of Eng.
liah and with au aspre8sive shrug and
uplifted eyebrowe gaps, "8 femme Meie
sear" and throw out his bands as if to
say "I'm eiviug it to you at that," So it
is everywhere. At the hotel the other
evening we paid 10 francs -02 00—for a
scrap of ohtakeu for Edith. 20o. for one
peach, and upon tatting our much with
as the other day on the train we pate
15o. for each e,ludevieb. rant to return to
our tr,p. We left Neuhaaseo for
Luoerue, "Ganeta0ce, Genova and
Lucerne" of my school days and width 1
bad never dreamed of eeetug. We atop
pad at Zuciub for a short tune and got a
fine view of the lake. The railway rune
right through the park that skirts
the shore and the traveller sees it to an
advantage. We arrived at Lucerne at
4 p. m. being 5 houre on the way, Un•
fortunately, although e14r. R. had tele-
graphed ahead for rooms five days be.
fore, we were unable to secure a view of
the moentai0 or lake from tier rooms.
here we bed oar first bad luck ae far as
weather is oouoerned, for it rained all
day clearing bat little towards evening.
Nest day it was °toady, mat a monntaiu

We went to see the famous "Lion,"
'carved out of solid rook, to commemorate
the famous Swiss Guard who died to
save the Bourbon Lily in 1792. So there
belies with his paw stretched over the
Hater -de die, and a broken arrow 'in hie
side—the Hoc alone is 21 inches long.
Nest day broke beautifully clear and we
got a row boat and floated about the
lake for an boor or two in the morning
and in the altetuoon took the lignite
railway up to ane of the observation
towers. The view here was magoifioent,
far to the West is Mt. Regi some 5,000
feet above the Lowe, while in the right
towered Pilatus. The horizon between
these two lords of Laoeroe is occupied
by conntleee mountain peaks, some dim
and far off, others nearer and covered
with dark green forest, while here and
there nun be seen peaks wavered with
snow. The lake below ie ae calm as u
pine of glace, and varies in oot0r from e
light yehowieh green to the deep green,
made darker in places by shadows of the
mountafne. Ooming down from the
tower we made one way to the wheat and
engaged an electric) launch for the rest of
the day. We left the noise of the city
behind, and we ell leaned beak in oqr
seats and enjoyed it to the 5(00000.
"Isn't this fine 7" said Mrs. le. "Someday
I hope to own a chateau along the shore
and make it a quiet resting place for me
and my friends in Bummer, and when

won't be broken down Wanted for labor
before the labor cornea." The hotel at
• Leanne was an iimmense affair. It bas
three dining rooms, eaob seating about
800 people, It's perfectly marvellous
the number of people who have money
tough to spend in this wap and also
what an ordioarylooktng crowd they
bre. We left yeeterday and came over
the Bement Alpe to Brtenz and took a

The Inventor of the Automatic Gun
The man, who has invented more deadly instruments of war than any;
other Inventor in the world's history is Sir Hiram S. Maxim, an American,
who left his native country about twenty years ago in a burst of indignation
at the lack of recognition of his genius shown by this government at Wash-
ington. Lord Salisbury said of him; "He has prevented more mem from dying
of old age than any other man who ever lived."
This mechanical genius who has added to the horrors of war was the
son of a wood turner in Maine, where he was born in 1840. Re "began life,"
he says, "with a common school education and a jack knife." He shelved
more shill in handling the knife than the education, and the mechanical turn,
of his mind soon becoming evident, he was apprenticed when he was fourteen(
to a carriage builder. After., four years of this service he studied metal
working and before he was twenty-one was foreman in a machine shop pre-
paratory to a better position in the extensive works of his uncle.
In 1873 he took up the problem of his famous automatic gun, which was
not perfected until eleven years later. The, inspiration of this invention of
destruction came from the kick of an old musket ho was using; it was so
severe a kick that it threw him over and bruised his cheek. When the stars
that he then saw faded away, it occurred to his bright mind that the energy of
the recoil might be caught and utilized 'to reload, the rifle, and the result of
his experiments was the Masini automatic machine gun, a death -dealing affair
that murders humanity in war at the rate of three thousand shots a minute.
This is but one of his many improvements in ordnance and explosives. In
1877 his attention was turned to electricity, and some of the earliest electric
lights in America were invented by him.
In 1883 he took up his permanent residence in England, and became a.
British subject and was knighted by Queen Victoria four years ago. The/
latest invention of Sir Hiram, who, it is said, has never failed to solve any
problem be has attempted, is an airship that really does fly—so many of the
recent airships, though beautiful in theory, have failed in this one par-
ticular. The persistence of Sir HIram is shown by bis carrying the flying
machine problem througli thirteen years of his busy life, daring a large part
of which time he has been a member of the firm of Vickers' Sons & Maxim.
