Chtlon is only a short distance away j

his rooms upon the very scene of their .
writing, and study the wonderful ex-1
altitude and verity that he breathes j
into them: they sre appreciated then
as never before and awake thoughts
that have ever lain dormant. The
charming position of Geneva on the
lake side, the Imposing grandeur of the
surrounding mountains, the sublime
view of snow-capped Mont Blanc In the
hazy distance, tj>e clear, limpid waters
of an incomparably beautiful lake, all
tend to intensify the poetic effect, and

It was a great relief to come to a
peaceful, quiet place like G?neva after
being so long in the confusion and
crowd ever existent at I/mdon and
Paris. Here we could walk along the
streets without constantly bumping in
to passesrs-by, or dodging 'busses and
trams. The Jewelry shops here are in
deed, resplendant with wares of ex
celling beauty. The famous Geneva
watches are to be seen on all sides,
and justly are they famed. Geneva once
had a monopoly on watches and since
that time has continued to produce the

Now, however, sceptlslm exists no
ilonger, and that great nnd auguat body.
I the British Asw eiatlon. have invlt'-d
i M. de Rougemont to read two papers,
.one in the geographical and oqe in the
nnthropological eectlcn. He hen been
loppronchrd by Mme. Tussaud and sou a,

rangements are now being made for
his lecturee In all parts of the three
kingdoms, as well as in France, Swit
zerland. Italy and America. Already
applications are being received, literal
ly from every quarter of the globe, by
letter and. telegram, asking about the
hook rights of this astonishing story.
What M. de Rougemont seems to' like
best, however, if the supplying of
scientific material, mainly of an an
thropological kind, which, although of
great Interest to science, rennet pos
sibly he published In a popular maga-!
zinc. "I seem to have become famous,"
laughed M. de Rougemont. "I receive
dozens of letters dally asking for auto
graphs, and only yesterday, an inde
pendent gentleman came all the way
from Plymouth simply to shake me by
