of dry rot; and it has now passed the
office-boy period. >,
The life and energy Of Italy are in
the northern part, With Milan as the
center. This northern country is not
weighted down by worthless mixed
population, such as is largely found in
the south. Enterprise and progress and
ambition, and wealth besides, are found
in the north to the same extent as in
other continental countries.
Greatest Tunnel in the World.
The Simplon tunnel and the Milan ex-
position are two of the outward signs of
this energy and wealth. It IS the
greatest tunnel in the world, its length
being 1919 miles, as compared with 9
miles from the st. Gotthard, in Switzer-
land. It required seven years to build
it. On the Italian side, it begins at
the town of Domodossolo, and extends
to Brigue, in France. The motive
power in the tunnel will be electricity.
The completion Of the tunnel. or
rather it's opening for traffic, brings
about many changes in the Mediter-
ranean country. For one, all railroad
schedules from Naples to Paris will
have to be revised. The time from
Milan to Paris is reduced five hours,
while the time for mail from New York
to Milan is reduced one day. This is
because mail will now reach Milan in
time for distribution during business
hours instead of the night following,

Every European country is well repre-
sented and the exposition promises to
be success. 1t is held to celebrate
the completion of the great Simplon
tunnel, thru the Simplon mountains,
which lie between Italy and France.
Yet the exposition does not celebrate
this event alone, for it marks an epoch
in the history of the country-in the
commercial and industrial history Of
Italy.
In fact. the exposition, however great
It may be, is but an incident in the
new development of the new Italy.

they see of it in the United States, or
travellers who form an opinion Of the
country from the ports Of Genoa OF Ma
pies, or the conglomerate masses at
Rome, or the galleries, the ruins or the
beggars found almost everywhere
those who judge Italy by such as these,
have not looked below the surface; they
have not seen the Italy of today. These
things are but the remains or result of
an Italy that has passed, or is rapidly
passing away.
The new Italy is commercial and
