his life in that country as a medical missionary, it is necessary to devote thirty or forty years to constant study of the classics. And Dr. Williams, a man of undoubted education in both English and Chinese, once told me that the examinations as conducted in Pe- king he considered the highest from a literary point of view in the world, in fact, he said it had been admitted by some of the great universities of Eu- rope that the degree conferred by the government examiners of Peking was acknowledged to be the greatest honor that any student could expect in this world"
 l found Lee Wing Sun Kee living in the most primitive fashion in the un- | assuming little fishing village near Monterey, and it was not at all diff cult to recognize in him the gentleman and scholar which few minutes con- versation proved beyond the shadow of doubt.

ly maturing in his mind until now he has reached the stage when he con- siders a practical experiment safe. That such telescope will cost much money is a natural inference. The tele- scope, according to the statement of the inventor, should primarily be a na- tional affair, and the achievements that would result would therefore rebound to the glory of the country as we'll as to the individual scientist.
 According to the inventor, Rudolph M. Hunter, it is simply question of supplying lenses in sufficient quantities to bring close to earth the wonders of the heavens. Where other telescopes consist of one lens of the refractory kind measured simply by inches, the Philadelphia inventor proposes to use any number of lenses placed together in the form of a reflector, as shown dis tinctly in the accompanying picture.

She had sought and gained the friendship of Baroness Vet sera, the mother, who had for years been the mistress of Archduke William the Grand Master of the Order of Ger man Knights She tempted young Bar oneSS Mary often to her house, took her for drives and visits, went shopping with her, and managed so well that the Crown Prince continually met the pretty girl with whom he believed him self madly in love.
 It must be supposed that the singers income, added to the annuity from the book she never published. are insuffi- c1ent for Countess Larisch'S wants. and that she is trying for an addition to her income, either by large sale of the book or by a second suppression of it, for which she would no doubt ask a high price of the regent of Bavaria. especially as the mad King. about whom she writes, still has live bro ther-mad King Otto, who sits on the throne of Bavaria. She cannot expect any pecuniary help from her father. who only waited for his first wifes death to marry another actress, An toine Earth, who is his present mor- ganatic wife.
 Countess Larisch's book. "A Kings Fairy Tale" has already been prohib- ited for sale in Bavaria. where the poignant feelings excited by the tragic life and death of their beloved King Ludwig have scarcely yet been wholly appeased. "A Kings Fairy Tale" which she is telling, is the poetic history of King Louis II of Bavaria, the key to his mysterious solitary life and the true account of his tragic death. The book will be read with breathless interest. as it is known that the author. Countess Larisch has learned much from her father about King Louis, and also from her aunt, Princess Sophie. who was the Kings betrothed for several months

In the confusion he discovers thS Watchguard on Baron Decker'S waist coat and, accustomed as he was to be- ing deceived, he immediately suspected his bride.
 This is the beginning of the rupture which leads to the breaking off of the betrothal between the King and the Princess. The King refuses to be in- formed of affairs of state. Like Fred erick the Great all he wishes is to "suf- fer and be silent" At last he resolves to retire to the solitude of the Swan Castle in the Bavarian Alps, where he built a splendid castle containing hun dreds of works of art, all referring to the Myth of the Swan. This is 'Neu- schwapstein," the actual marvel of the Bavarfan Alps. He suffered from insomnia and can never go to sleep without drugs He dimes at a table with room for thirteen guests, and at which thirteen chairs stand before thirteen covers. He has terrible visions and the word passes around that the King sees ghosts.
 One day the King ordered his car- riage and drove to the court theater, whose performances he directed that he alone should attend. He had heard that new actress has been appointed -Wally von Sartory-who has become famous in the meantime. He does not recognize the singer. After the per- He SeIuS lOI Her IO Iuc COIl- servatory, where she is to declaim DOT tions of other poems At last she has attained what she strived for so long. She speaks the part of Phaedra. She speaks with irresistible passion and im- presses the King so deeply that he. leaves his hiding place and walks up to her. She is just speaking the love scene with Hyppolitus. Suddenly she falls on her knees before the King and gaZes up into his eyes with the expression of maddening love. The King is speech less for an instant, then recovers from his surprise and putting her away cries out: "Go! Cor
 She makes one last attempt; she runs to the piano and sings the song of the wondrous flower But the effect is not what she expects-the King stood mo- tionless and cried: 'Elsa!
 She then betrays to the King the whole intrigue against his love.
 To escape from his thoughts the king runs into the park and seeks the shore. One shade will not lelve him-the King tries to walk away from it and his feet touch the water. Then a fresh vision appears to him; he sees Elsa coming to meet him in the swanboat on the lake, He shakes the shade that clings to him with all his power and filings it from him, while he cries: Leave me! I must cross the lake. shall walk over the water. Elsia, I am coming! Our Father, who art in heaven"-and as he said these words he strode into the lake. COUNTESS LARISCH.
 So ends this remarkable story-and so ended the life of the King of Bavaria.

however, returns the Kings confidence and says he has found such a woman the wife of friend. No doubt this is Cosima Bulow, whom Wagner later married.
 In the evening of that seIfsame day the King walked along the jessamine paths to the lake. listening to the night ingales in hopes of hearing his song. He roWed across the lake to the oppo- site shore and believed he heard the singing of the swans. It was a mis- take. AS he approached the shore he heard melodious human voice He could distinguish the Words--it was the song of the wondrous f1ower-his song, which said the wondrous flower is the purest love.
 This is my song." the King cried jumped out of the boat, ran across the lawn to the castle. where a delicate woman's figure appeared at an open window. The moon was shining, and she recognized the man below and cried: "The King"
 He confirmed this and asked her to come down. The young lady immedi- ately obeyed and appeared in the frame of porch in the ivy-grown tower The King, asking who she was, sh swered: Your Majesty's. cousin, Elsa!"
 She is no other than Princess Sophie Of Bavaria, the youngest sister of the late Empress Elizabeth of Austria, who lived in such complete retirement with her parents, so that the King had not seen her before she was seventeen or eighteen.
 few days later the King is resolved, takes an official trip to Castle Possen- hofen. and asks his uncle for the hand of his youngest daughter which he is promised with the greatest alacrity Princess Elsa finds herself the Kings bride," and finds her chief delight in repeating this to herself Countess Larisch describes a meeting of the King and his bride, the trysting place being the park around Possenhofen. Bride and bridegroom composed verses and each read the latest composition to the other. In the meantime the beau tiful Wally von Sartory was at work to attain her ends. She crosses the lake at

 ent generation, has been pub lished at last and a great shout has gone up from the court society of Vienna. Not since the suicide of King Nudwig of Bavaria has there been such a sensation in Vienna.
 Marie Larisch tells now for the first time the true history of the mad King, who was the patron of Richard Wag- ner, the recluse of the Castle of Starn- berg, and who took his own miserable life after he had killed five of his suite in two years. Five years ago the Coun- tess Larisch wrote this book and it's publication at that time was prevented by the Emperor, who bought the copy right from the authoress at a fabulous price. Nothing more was heard of the Countess until a year ago, when she left one husband and five children to go and live with a Munich opera tenor by the name of Otto Brucks.
 Countess Marie Larisch has had one of the most remarkable careers of living aristocrats. Her life has been romance such as the most fanciful fiction teller has never invented or dreamed of Mime. Marie Brucks, she calls herself, and Mime. Marie Brucks she would be but for the indissolubility ot Roman Catholic marriages.
 AS it is we must still call her Coun- tess Larisch, and consider her the run away wife of one of the richest noble men of Austria, whose castle and es- | tates in Silesia are among the best managed and most remunerative prop critics in the 'untry.
 Countess Larisch is forty years old } exactly, and may truly be said to have seen something of the world in this span of life.

 ''The great reflector will be supported at an angle upon an immense platform. This platform rests on trucks that move on a circular. or rather spiral like track. The object of the track? Simply the manner in which the oper- ator will be able to focus his enormous instrument. The weight of the whole would make any other method an im- possibility. By moving the platform along the track one way or the other the distance from the operator in the tower can be heightened or lessened. Hydraulic power devices will change the angle of the reflector in whatever direction desired. Electrical power is to be the means of moving the reflector on the track, and the smoothness of the carriage will be something new en- tirely in locomotion.

velOuS telescope ever wrought by man is vouched for by the inventor to lay bare all that which until the present time has puzzled astronomers. With the aid of this instrument it is said that man will at last be able to com municate with such other beings on Mars as correspond to the inhabitants of the earth. Whatever their habits, their stature, their whole manner of ex- istence will be revealed minutely for the benefit of those fortunate enough to gaze through this wonderfully made lens
 It has been left for a resident of Philadelphia to conceive of a telescope with such enormous power of attrac- tion. For years the idea has been slow

 Chinese residents in this State.
 /His present address is Monterey, - Cal, and he enjoys the unique
 distinction of being the only one of his countrymen who has the privi- lege of addressing his sovereign direct. No palace flunkey or court favorite can intercept a letter to his Imperial Ma jesty sent under the private seal of Lee Wing Sun Kee. All this comes to a man of brains and untiring energy; it means years of toll and study, the passing of civil service examinations that would frighten the average college student and aspirant for honors into a state of chronic nervous prostration.
