grand and impressive. and the lake
is one of the most picturesque In the

LAKE
LU(fRNf

No part of German Switzerland is so
beautiful as that which includes the
town of Lucerne an the lake of the
Four Forest Cantons. or Lake Lu-
verne, as 1t is more commonly called.
The town of Lucerne, the capital OF
the canton to which II belongs. is sit
nated on the shore of the lake of the
same name, and is still surrounded by
ancient walls. with many dark and
gloomy watchtowers. built as far back
as the last part of the 14th century.
There were at first few small fisher
mems huts on the banks of the river
Reuss, but in the year 1876 convent
was built. and the settlement became
town, which the traffic on the lake
enriched and prospered.
The clear. green river Reuss runs
through Lucerne. and four artistic
bridges cross the stream. OF these. the
"Capellbruecke" and the "Muehlen-
bruecke," as the Germans call them,
have the greatest interest for the
sightseers in the town. The roof of
the "Capellbruecke," of Chapel
bridge" is adorned with many fres-
Goes, which portray the lives of the
patron saints of Lucerne. and also
numerous scenes from the history of
Switzerland. This curious bridge was
built in 1888. and is made entirely
of wood, instead OF stone. The town
itself, 40G years ago. was practically
built of this material. and was often
called in common parlance. The

great sculptor of Denmark, and dedi-
Gated to the famous guards who died
in France in 1872. In years gone by
the people of Lucerne were strong and
warlike. and often served as guards
for other and more powerful nations.
Not far from this pathetic monu-
ment the entrance to the Glacier Gar

seved many strange relics of ages
past. 1t was while some men were
