RAILWAY UP THE ALPS.
greatest Thrill Of Earth"Projected
Tor 6oVrteta in Switzerland.


Geneva. Dec. ia serious scheme
TO build . railway almost to the sum-
init OF the Mont Blanc range has been
prepared BY Swiss syndicate, and
mas received the approval OF the
French government. The projected
railway will provide the greatest
thrill on EARTH" taking passengers to
the roof Of Europe.
The Syndicate which has obtained
the concession is at present complet-
ing an aerial line to the summit OF the
Wetterhorn. It now proposes to build
a SIMILAR line from the valley of
Chamonix to the sumit Of the Aiguille
du Midi. . peak nearly 1900 feet high.
IN the center of the Mount Blanc
range.
According to the contract, an ordi-
nary funicular railway will join the ex'
listing system at Chamonix. The dou.
BILE aerial cables will begin at the first
Alpine station near the Glacier des
Blossoms at a height of over 5000 feet.
The cost is estimated at about 81,
100000, and it is believed that the pro
ject will take four years to carry out
The first and easiest half will take on
~ year, and tourists may be able
to ascend to the Glacier des Blossoms
at the end Of next summer.
The line will skirt score Of glac
iers, dozens of crevasses and unfath
ENABLE precipices, and will give thoss
who do not care for climbing the Alps
on foot an idea of the dangers and the
pleasures Of mountaineering.
The ride on the railway will give the
passenger a series of thrills which M
other line in the world can afford. 1
is believed, further, that it will be alb
solutely safe, for the engineers hav'
examined and studied every yard o
the route, and have taken precautiol
in preparing the estimates. In sew
eral places it will pass over blue-ic'
crevasses, giving the passenger tn
sensation of riding over blue water
The electricity which will work tn
line will be generated by the Rive
Arve. The coaches will be speciall
constructed to Withstand the grea
changes of cold and heat.

England.

Mr. Herbert Samuel was appointed
under secretary Of state under the new
Liberal government. Mr.. Samuel is
only thirty-fve years old and served as
member Of Parliament only four ses-
sons. Mr.. Samuel, although young, has
done much for the party of which he is
a member. His book, Liberalism: Its
Principles and Proposals. published in
1902, is regarded somewhat as text
book or catechism. Mr.. Samuel has been
one of the leading spirits in the charges
made against Belgian cruelties in the
Congo, and it was, therefore, largely ow
ing to him that the International Com
mission Of Inquiry was appointed. Per-
haps one reason of Mr.. Samuel s success
has been that he makes himself master
of the subjects he handles. He was not
satisfied to speak of Central Africa, but
he visited that region, and a number OF
photographs he took when in Uganda
were afterwards reproduced in a foreign
office blue-book. This feature Of thor
oughness in the new under secretary has
also been shown in his handling Of labor
questions generally and Of the working
of the factory acts. Mr.. Samuel was ed
ucated at Balliol College, Oxford, where
he won first class honors in history and
took his MA He is member Of the eX-
ecutive Of the British Empire League,
member of the governing body of the
London School Of Economics and POliti-

The disorder arose on the occasion OF the

ton in Bessaraba is considerably en-
hanced by the fact that the agrarian

province, and national agitation is
prevalent among the Roumanians. On
the one hand, the peasants have ad-

upon an increase Of land; whilst on the
other, the Roumanians have formed two

Mother Says;
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

ain reply to your letter I write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by q
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case of eczema, resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence Of the trouble.
ain July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.
