ARTICLE LXII.I <*)■ SWITZERLAND. Lucerne, (2) Interlaken, (3) Berne, (4) Lausanne, (5) Geneva and Lake. From Lucerne one may get a fine view of the Rhigi Mountains and Mont Pilatus, as we did, at sunset. The sunrise next morn ing was grand, and we saw in all its glory Lake Lucerne—the most lovely lake in Switzerland. Lucerne is situated between the ( Pilatus and Rhigi, faces the Alps of Schwyz and Engelberg, and has about 25,000 inhabitants, deriving its name from the Water-Tower, which tradition says was once a . light-house (lucerna), but now holds the archives. Besides the 1 Lion of Lucerne and Glacier Gar dens, may , also be seen here the Capell Bridge (1303) over the Reuss River with 154 old paint ings on the root and ending in St. ’ Peter’s Chapel; the Muehlin Bridge with its 30 peculiar pictures 'of "The Dance of Death;” the Museum aud Library; and Stauf- •fer’s Alpine Animals; the Jesuit Church; the palatial hotels; and the lovely promenade with its many trees, called the "Schweizer foot Quay.” The ascent of the Righi Mountains gives one a good ’ idea from the finest view of A1 pine scenery, and the capital ho tels at the lop provuii all neces sary comforts. Lucerne is said to be visited by 300,000 tourists an nually for its picturesque scenery and delightful situation. By cog-rail we proceeded to climb the mountains trom Lucerne •te Alpnach-stad (whence is made the ascent to Mont Pilatus) and Dorf (with its Schutzen-fest) the Lake of Sarnen (with its pretty (whereabout 800 people are en gaged in wood-carving) on the mountain-walled lake of the same name, and the deepest lake in Switzerland. Here we are in the vicinity of the Giessbach, a “series of seven beautiful cascades, falling from rocks 1,148 feet high, amid luxuriant herbage and stately trees, and illuminated at night by Bengal lights.” From Britnz we took steamer over Lake Brienz, through which runs the whitish-green waters of the Aare, to Interlaken, sailing o’er its surface for one and a half hours. At Interlaken we stopped for an hour and three quarters,and were struck with the exceeding beauty of the place, situated in the glen between the Lakes of Brienz and Thun, and a great rendezvous for tourists between the middle of July and October, as well as the most advantageous point for trips in any part of the Bernese Ober- land. It is nothing unusual to have several hundred thousand visitors a season. In the spring and summer one can get a ticket of travel all oyer Switzerland one- half month for 50 francs, a month for 75 francs, and a year for 475 francs (second class, which is equivalent to American first class, and generally used). Here we were in full view of the great Jungfrau in its majestic whiteness, 13,671 feet high; and not far from Grindelwald, which is reached by rail or conveyance, near two vast glaciers, in a vale surrounded by the Wetterhorn, Mettenberg, and Eiger. We had a good look at the Drecipitous Haerder Mountains (on which so many lives have been lost by accident), and the Schy- nige Platte Bohn; and enjoyed walking on the once magnificent Hohewegepromenade with its fine walnut trees, and got glimpses of the old wooden village of Unter- seen. Here too may be seen the old castles of Tusprunnen and Weissenau, the Kursaal with its concerts, the fashionable hotels and pensions. Interlaken has both waterworks and electric light sys But seven and a half miles Interlaken is Lautrbrunnen. in a narrow rock-girt glen, close to the famous Staubbach (dust- brook), a slender but unbroken fall 980 feet high. Farther up the are the grand Schmadribach ence is gained by climbing to Muerren," Hence we took the Oberland Route by the Lake of Thun to Berne, the Swiss Capitol, of about 45,000 people, pleasant arcaded streets, mediaeval houses and fountains, a favorite resting-point in travel through the Alps, with finest of views of the whole Ber nese range. Here are the Univer sity, Gothic Cathedral and Ter race, noble Florentine Federal Buildings, Museums, Clock-Tower, Rauthhaus, and Bear-Pit. On the way thither we passed over lovely plains and rich valleys and rugged mountains, plain predominating, and land evincing a high state of cultivation. In Switzerland the people are mostly cattle raisers, or manufacturers, shippers of famous cheese, apples, pears and cherries grow plentifully. Our stay here a fame among the nations. Its watch-making industry has been celebrated for over four centuries for precision and improvement and tastefulness, fostered by an nual competition foi prizes under the Industrial and Commercial Section of the Society of Arts,and recognized in the international awards for perfection in such work. It is no fad, but proven fact, that the Genevan watches are the very best made in the world. The manufacture of jewelry also has flourished here for centuries, for quality of goods and moderateness of prices. So, too, artistic enam els of an exquisite order, fine music boxes and powerful orches trions, are manufactured here “There are also others which have rapidly acquired considerable im portance; there are manufacturers of surgical instruments, of electric SOME ATTRACTIVE BARGAINS.

We hastened on ; apparatuses, diamond cutters’ hamlet and rich valley between high mountains), Gipswil, Lake'tern. Lechman, on by Meyringen from “beautifully situated in the Hasli valley near the Reichenbach Falls) 'and over the Bruenig Pass (3,- 595 feet high where we got lunch- eun), through magnificent moun-jglen tain views, downward to the Aarel Fall and the far-viewing Steinberg and the valfey road, to Brienz j Alp. A marvellous Alpine experi- to Freiburg,picturesquely situated on the noble cliffs over the river Sarine, and our railway rapidly de scended thence to Lausanne (a place of 27,000 inhabitants) with lovely views o’er Lake Geneva and containing the Gothic (Prot estant) Cathedral, “built 1235 75, where Calvin and others held a famous debate, in 1536, resulting in Protestantizing Vaud,” This descent of 42 miles is one of the most beautiful in Europe. From this point in the northern bend of the Lake our road carried us around to the south-western end of the same, in full view of the great Jura range of mountains, of the historic city of Geneva on the largest of the lakes of Switzerland (50 by 9 m. in area and 1230 feet above the sea, half-moon shaped, and deep-blue water, never freez ing over, strong currents, strange risep and falls, and waterspouts— the Lake of Geneve,” the “Lacus Lemanus” of the Romans, and "Lac Leman” of the French, with magnificent scenery and scores of villages on,its shores). Vine cul ture is in evidence quits a while before one reaches Geneva. We had a glimpse of the roseate sun set effect of the Alpine glow just before our arrival at Geneva (des ignated by its people—Geneva in true French style) Geneva is a flourishing city of 70,000 inhabitants and so pretty for situation at the southwest foot of Lake Geneva, cut in two by the swift-rushing waters of the blue Rhone River; is full of handsome buildings and hotels, especially on the river and lake front, and has fine broad quays, the favorite promenade being the Pont-du Mont-Blanc, which crosses be tween the lake and Rousseau’s Island (called so because contain ing a bronze statue of Jean Jac ques Rousseau by Pradier). Gene va is 1250 feet above the sea level and has a temperate and healthy climate. Even in the dog-days the heat is easily bearable, while in winter the cold is never excessive, The waters of the Arve in the space of one night brings down to Geneva the icy waters of the gla ciers at Chamonix and all the re workshops, etc., and every day fresh branches are added to those already existing. This special de velopment of the industrial activity at Geneva has occurred during the last few years, and is due, to a great extent, to the utilization of the motive power " of the Rhone which the municipality has carried out, thereby being enabled to sup ply manufacturers with the motive power they need at a very low cost.” We had a close view of these manufactories (just below the Pont de la Nachine) and the weir by means of which the depth of the lake can be regulated, through the gates of which the limpid masses of deep transparent blue Rhone water fall and break into a sea of foam as it whirls rapidly downwards. Farther down still we came to the Pont de la Coul- ouvreniere aud saw in the Rhone the Batiment des Turbines, well worthy a visit, contain twenty turbines of 4,200 horse power, which is distributed all over the city and suburbs at a very low price. We were shown through it, and saw mueh to excite our won der and contribute to our pleasure. The total motive force now obtain ed from the Rhone amounts to 200,000 horse power. As one walks about Geneva, be sides its cleanliness and the gen eral striking appearance of its buildings, and the places already mentioned, from the Quai du Mont-Blance and the pier beyond are to be had splendid views of the snowy heights of Mont Blance. In the delightful English Garden along the lake is a "Relief du Mont Blanc.” We noted also the Florentine Hotel de Ville with its inclined planes instead of stairs! the Palais de Justice, the bronze National Monument,and the hand some one of the Duke of Bruns wick; the University, the Muse ums, the Theatre in fine modern style, the Place Neuvc—a grand looking and the best public square in Geneva, and the Promenade des Bestions, etc. Specially notable is the Parc Mon Repos (one of the ! iovliest spots on earth, and a primaiy gift; at the extrem.ty of LADIES’ AND CHILDREN’S NEW WINTER C0AT8 Ladies’ Empire conks made of double twisted covert cloth in tan and castor, satin lined, reg ular price 4*15, at sale 8.98 Ladies’ Empire coats in heavy broad cloth, satin lined, in gray, tan, blue aud castor, regular price ♦ 12.60, sale price. 7.98 Ladies’ long coats made in the lat est styles, nicely trimmed, all colors, including black, blue, tan, gray and castor, regular price, 4*8 and 4*10, for 4.98 Children’s and misses’ coats, ages 0 to 14, in cloths of all colors, worth 4*4 and 4*5 2.50 One job misses’ and children’s coats, values 4*8 to 4*4, at . 1.75 WHITE BED 8PREAD8 lish suiting, cut in the latest styles, regular 5.00 skirts at 2.91 LINEN TABLECL0TH8 A remarkable sale of linen table cloth .

Therefore no epidemic sickness ever spreads in Geneva; cholera and smallpox are unknown, more over no child is admitted into a school without showing a certifi cate that he has been vaccinated.” Since the levelling of the old for tifications the city has greatly ex panded and light and air circulate very freely. The death-rate, as might be expected, is accordingly very low, about 14 to the 1.000. Here one gets a wenderful im pression of the power of God at work in the world not only in the domain of nature but of that of hu man nature for the good of human ity. It is manifest on every side. Its different manufactures have given and continue to give Geneva 300 feet; during the evening it is frequently illuminated with differ ent colors; on the other side lies the lake and its verdant shores,” On Sabbath morning (May 15;, during our stay in Geneva, Bro. Carroll and I early after breakfast walked from our hotel to the Plain-Palais Cemetaise to find the grave of the man who has made Geneva known to the remotest corners of the world—that of John Calvin. There it was, marked by a little square block of marble, its face skyward but slightly inclined, with the Latin initials for his name —“I, C.” carved on the top. And just over his grave grows a fir-tree about 40 feet high, still putting forth its evergreen leafage in old age. At its foot we sat, and there read together 2 Tim. 4.1-3 and y,12-17 with a new spirit and pow- (Continued on page 7.) HEAD DOWN SCHEDULE IN EFFECT APR. 23. 1906.
