About one hundred persons. thirty
of them women. have settled at Asco-
ma, on the Swiss-Italian frontier, In
tending to found community modelled
upon Sir Thomas More's Utopia. The
members are to have individual liberty
of action and of thought. but are
pledged to live in the most frugal way
The colonists are vegetarians, their
dress is to be of the simplest charac'

worn. All belong to the educated
classes
The laws, they say, are those of ma
ture, and they acknowledge no others
Their sole amusement is music, by
preference that of Wagner, whom they
call Natures musician.
The founder of the colony is a Bel
gian, but among the members are
Swiss. Italians, French, Germans
Russians and one South American.
