The house of representatives is built
In the shape of half-mOon. with the
seats rising In concentrlc rows from
front to back. The president sits on a
raised platform somewhat Ike our
speakers desk, with clerk on each
side Of him. The press galleries are at
the front so that the newspaper corre-
spondents face the members, Each
member has his own desk and chair.
and the house when In session, looks
not unlike one of our legislative as
sembles.
A curious feature Of the Swiss con-
gress Is the public translator. These
people have more different languages
than the Canadians. The eastern part
Of the country IL German, the western
French and the southern Italian. About
10 per cent OF the people speak German.
20 per cent French, and about per
cent Italian, with z per cent speaking
other languages In western Switzer-
land nearly all the signs are French, in
the eastern states they are all German,
and IN Tlcino they are Italian. The
government reports are printed IN Ger
man and French. and the speeches here
are made in either German or French,
for nearly all the members understand
both languages. The orders of the presl-
dent are translated by the official In
terpreter, and all OF his messages are
furnished the press in the two lam
guages.

THE GOVERNMENT OWNS THE
i'''>1'N''
The question as to government con-
troll Of railroads came up and / asked
President Zemp what he thought Of It.
He replied:

run them By electricity. AS now con
stItuted the roads require 10000 horse
power and Il Is estimated that double
that power will be needed for hign
tension alternating electric current sys-
TEN.
The engineers have already figured
upon It. and they find that there are
p waterfalls In the Alps already used
for electrical generation, which can
produce Sc 900 horse power The engl-
neers estimate that II would take SS0-
700 to apply this power to the rail-
roads. and that In addition II could run
numerous factories.
AT present Switzerland Is operating
her roads with coal brought In from
England and the continent, She Is thus
entirely dependent upon outside coun-
tries. and If her foreign coal supply was
cut off her railroads would stop. The
matter is a very important one, and
understand some Of the parties inter
csted have applied to the government
for the right to build an electric stan
dard gauge railway u miles long for
experimental purposes, This VIII prob
ably be granted, and, II a success, II
may be that the waterfalls Of the Alps
will haul the trains up and down the
sides OF the mountains.
THE GOVERNMENT AND THE TEL.
EPH0NES.
Switzerland finds that 1t pays tho
government to own the telephones and
telegraphs. President Zemp told me
that they were operated without diff
Guilty, and that the government admin
istration Of them had proved satisfac-
tory, The telephones here are connect
ed with the postoiiice department. and
almost every postoilice is a telegraph
office as WELL The country Is small
but It has 3lS central stations and moro
than $1,000 miles of wire, In 1900 there
We're more than $4,000 900 conversations.
and the telephone receipts were more
than double those Of the telegraph.
amounting to $l.2O0.0O0 This is so not
withstandlng the telephone rates are
among the lowest Of the world For
certain distances II costs you less than
a cent "a message. This Is the charge
In towns and cities. You can have a
telephone In your house or business
place for from $40 to $40 year, and you
can send a long distance message TO
any part Of Switzerland for Is cents.

- ERNE, Switzerland.--I have Just
Il had an interview with thep resident
u of Switzerland. He Is the national
representative of this little re-
public, and as such ranks among the
rulers OF Europe. His power Is nothing
Ike that OF President Roosevelt. The
Swiss have more democratic govern
ment than ours and they are more
strictly republican. The country Is d.
vided M into oantons or states, ana
these cantons hold TO their sovereignty
much more than do the states of our
Union. and they have released but few
of their rights to the national govern
ment
switzerland has congress Just as we
have, but its congress elects federal
council Of seven members, whose bus
moss II is TO execute the laws. The
council has TO a large extent the same
movers as our president, and the pres
dent of the Swiss republic Is molly one
of its members and its presiding OFF,
Ger. The council is elected for three
wears the president for one. He Is
chosen not by the ballot Of the people,
but nv that OF the swiss congress, and
tho constitution provides that he cannot
hold two terms In succession. The pres
Ident has no veto, no appointing pow
err. and he cannot even nominate man
for any position. His only distinctions
as regards the other members or the
federal council Is that he gets $500 more
per year, and that he receives the Tor
eign ministers on ceremonial occasions
And Is addressed as his excellency.
A CHEAP GOVERNMENT.
You might think At the Swiss gov
eminent would be "a expensive one, In
asmuch as seven men are required TO
do what one executive does In the Unit
ed States. It Is not. The council acts
about rs our cabinet ministers, and, al
Together, il receives only about one
third as much as President Roosevelt.
Each member gets only $23l6. and the
tSwiss president less than s21OO, the ex-
ktra $500 being for entertainment This
Rmakes a total of lite over $4,000 or
Knot one-third as much as we annually
Fpay our president.

have already written of the postal
system here and how you can send all
kinds OF express matter, even to chick
ems and ducks, by mall, ] was talking
OF this today with Mr.. Frankenthal our
consul at Berne He says; THE for
elgn importatlons OF all kinds into
Switzerland through the post are enor-
nous. The parcel post, which is In
vogue I'm many parts Of Europe makes

I pay only 25 cents for the delivery
Of ten pounds of fat geese from Austria.
} The geese themselves are perhaps
worth 81 90 and this extra charge brings
them into my house here and includes
the sending back Of the money to the
seller. The chicken raisers OF Rou-
mania advertise In our Swiss papers.
They send the goods on approval
through the post. and 1t takes only
postal card to give the order. II Is
great institution, and II ought TO be
adopted In the United States II we
had such an international arrangement
with Switzerland, we could annually
sell a million dollars worth of shoes
In this country, and II with all Europe,
It would open up the whole continent to
all small articles Of American trade
1T Is strange that the Swiss do not
raise their own eggs" said |.
yes It seems so, replied Consul
Frankenthal. There Is no reason why
they should not, except that the sum-
mer season is short and they appal-
entity have not learned how to handle
the prolific wooden hen of modern
times. No lncubators are used here,
Notwithstanding every hotel has to
have its eggs for breakfast, and that
$1,000 900 worth of eggs were imported
last year. These people plan their lives
after that OF their grandfathers. Poul-
try was not raised In the past and the
present don't care to make the expert
