Rheinfels at St. Gear Was Once the
Home Of Wilhelm der Crosse.
The famous ruin of the Castle OF
Rheinfels at St Goar, on the Rhine
collapsed last week. 1t was about
700 years old.
The Castle of Rheinfels. rising 375
feet above the Rhine at the back OF
the little town of ST Goar, was re,

ruins on the river.
The castle was built by Count Die
Their III Of Katzerelnbogen who died
in 1876. and new Rhine toll was
established there. In 1892 it was
bravely and successfully defended by
the Hessian General Won Goer2
against the French General. Coun-

In 1858 the castle was surprised and
taken by the French, who kept gar

Tolstoi says the recognition OF the

a feature of autocratic systems as well

government that revolutions by force
have become impossible, hence the

Gold from New Metal.

Of Merlin, Ore, has made silver from
gold and developed new metal from
slate from which he expects to pro-
duce gold. From his notes. which were
scanned by the government inspectors,
1t seems that he has developed a new
metal from commercial slate, abun-
dant here, which has an affinity for
the atom of gold and silver which he
calls ''rixum." The theory he has been
working on is the disintesration of the
atom into unitions to the silver atom.
The process consists Of strong
acid solution combined with powerful
electric currents and long exposures
to their action. causing the destruction
OF a portion of the atom by electrical
conveyance into similar solution of
rixum.
