The Historical Society of Brandon
burg has secured a Photographic copy
of Queen Louisa's diary and is about
to exhibit it in its museum, the same
diary which Poultney Bigelow once
threatened" to publish. 1t was said
at the time that the diary contained
grave political discussions duplicating
many historical personages, and that,
for the reason stated the emperor was
opposed to the scheme.

EFFECT OF VACCINATION.

The Philadelphia Medical journal
prints letter from the secretary of
the superior board of health of Puerto
Rico testifying to the fact that 10000
vaccinations in the island have ex-
tinguished the smallpox. There Is at
present not single case of the disease
in Puerto Rico, though nine months
ago cases were scattered all over the
island and a serious epidemic was
threatened. The situation proves the
possibility of stamping out the disease,
even in tropical countries The secre-
tary Of the Board OF Health adds that
Puerto Rico has had no cases OF yellow
fever all summer.

announced, thought the publication
desirable in the interest of history,
and entreated his friend, William H.,
to permit him to make transcript of
the book and give it to the press. "
Whereupon his majesty said Never
niemals, janis" at the same time en-
treating his literary classmate to let
the matter drop.
All this sounded like mystery, if not
like scandal. 1t revived the memory of
reports assiduously spread by Napo-
leon /. about the relations between
Queen Lcuisa and Car Alexander of
Russia, and when finally the official
papers announced that Bigelow had
given up the idea to increase his bank
account and his fame in Difference to
the kaiser's wishes, all said Bravo"
and congratulated themselves upon the
existence of so noble and discreet his
torian as Bigelow
Doubling the accuracy of the Ger
man press reports on this interesting
matter, a correspondent inquired fur
Their into the case of Queen Louisa s
diary and learned that a copy of the
book had been donated by the duke of
Cumberland, who inherited it from his
mother, to the .Brandenburg Histor-
zeal society. The governors of this in
stitution kindly permitted him to view
a photograph fac smile of the aspect
of the diary and to copy as much of its
contents as seemed desirable.
The very title of the book denies the
story of its political tendencies. 1t
reads, in literal translation, Heavenly
| "reminiscences. In the middle of the
page an escutcheon is painted with the
name Luise" in German script and a
royal crown in silver about it. In a
circle, following the lines of the shield,
are written the words Justice, Faith,
Love" the queens motto, which she
regarded as talisman and had en-
graved into her signet ring.
After this follow some pages that
have not been written on and then an
other motto "As the Lord willed it,
thus it came to pass" followed by in
scriptions from the years 1903, 1907 and
1909 Although they were made in a
period pregnant with political excite
ment and with the misery of kings
Prussia had been forced into an alli-
ance with France, had been treated
worse than conquered nation by Ma
poleon, had been driven to war, had
been vanquished at Jena, and quartered
at Tilsit) there are no political allu-
siOnS in the writings which is all the
more remarkable as Queen Louisa was
credited with dabbling quite freely in
the affairs of state.
Here follow some of the notes by the
queens hand, with dates where they
are in the original:

TIMING A RAILWAY TRAIN.
There Are Several Ways Of Asoer,
tanning the speed Il IL
Makfa1.

Not ono person in . hundred has any
idea OF the speed of train, end even
large percentage Of the regular train
men cannot tell with any degree Of
accuracy. Engineers use their driv-
Ing wheel - . gauge. They know its
circumference, and by counting Its rev.
olutions within certain time can tell
very accurately the speed at which they
are running.
A favorite method Of timing among
passengers is TO count the telegraph
poles. Az rule these poles are plant,
ed 30 to the mile, but in prairie coun-
tries. where only a single wire 10 used,
the number diminishes to rs, 30 that
rule will not always work. The most
accurate method, and the one most In
use by experienced railroad men, As to
count tho number Of rail Joints the
tratp passes over in 20 seconds. The
rails on nearly all roads are 30 feet in
length, and the number passed over IN
70 seconds 10 tho speed per hour o
train is running.
For instance. Il a passenger can count
30 clicks on Q rail Joint In 70 secondA,
the train Il running at speed Of 80
piles an hour Actually, this method
falls q little short, as in the example
given above the speed would be nearer
81 than 30 miles, but 1t il near enough
zor all practical purposes.
