PROTECT ALPINE PEAKS
Great Petition in Switzerland
Against the Matterhorn
Tunnel Project.

Over 100000 signatures have been at
tached in Switzerland to the petition
that the Swiss League has prepared
to present 10 the federal council. The
first lines in the petition read:
1.-THE high SUBMITS of our Alps are
the ideal possession of the whole Swiss
people and the symbol of Swiss fire.
dom. They are not for SALE
The petition is a protest against the
threatened assaults which, many thou
sands of the Swiss say, spectators in
the tourist industry propose to make
upon the scenery of the high Alps. It
is in behalf of the hundreds of thou
sands of foreign visitors to Switzer-
land that various construction COM
panies are trying to get permission
from the Swiss Parliament to build
mountain railroads and hotels and
reidences in the Alps.
The project of greatest Importance,
the one which is exciting the bitterest
opposition, is the proposed tunneling
n
part railroad and part elevator. It is
proposed to convert the summit of the
wonderful mountain shaft into a series
of grottoes with windows and bal
comics. where the tourist may smoke
or sip his tea and enjoy the panorama
of the Alps under conditions of
warmth and comfort
Another project that the Swiss are
opposing with almost equal vigor is a
curious scheme relating to the Aletsch
glacier, the largest glacier not only of
the Alps, but of the whole of Europe.
1t moves down it's long valley to the
Rhone River, and its ice covers an
area of nearly forty square miles. 1t
is curious fact that the largest
glacier of Europe moves down the
southern slope of the mountains fac
ing the sun. The proposition is to lay
down on the virgin snow of the Aletsch
glacier kind of sledge railroad which
shall traverse the whole, length of
that marvellous solitude.
The Swiss League was formed to
work for the preservation of Swiss
scenery, and it is utterly opposed to
the invasion of the Alps by any en-
1t has asked the moral support of all
the Alpine clubs of Europe, and none
has responded more heartily than the
Alpine Club of London, which at a
large meeting has Endorsed the protest
of the Swiss League.
Sir Martin Conway, who presided,
said that both the Matterhorn and the
Aletsch glacier project ought to be
defeated, and all British mountaineers
should enter the heartiest possible
protest against them. The speakers
regarded the policy of no railroad
above the snow line as sound and prac-
teal. andaa letter was read from Mr..
Whymper, who headed the first party
to ascend the Matterhorn, in which he
said that a railroad up that mountain
would be injurious to the guides of the
Zermatt Valley and to those of the
Val Tournanche.

off on the honeymoon, forget their

TYRANT'S TOMB
NOW A STABLE
A Curious Memorial of the Ruin
So1ano Lopez Brought on
Paraguay.

curious memorial of the tyrant
solano Lopez, who wasted the depop-
ulated Paraguay between 1862 and
1870. stands in the city of Asuncion.
the capital of the republic. 1t is the
large and imposing mausoleum that
he built for the ultimate housing of his
body.
But 1t was never used for that pur-
pose. When Lopez was overtaken and
killed as he was fleeing his enemies
did not care to give him a decent
burial.
DR.. vanentin, the German geogra-
pher, who was just written book on
Paraguay, says that it puzzled the
people to de-1de what to do with the
mausoleum 1t was finally turned into
a stable, and is still serving that hum
Bile but useful purpose.
Grass is growing upon the lofty
cupola and weeds protrude from every
crevice in the walls. II is a monument
to the ruin Lopez brought upon his
country and himself.
Lopez has often been called the Nero
of the nineteenth century, but some
historians say that he was worse than
Nero. DIR. Baez, the historian of Para
quay, says that the tyranny of Lopez
was the most barbarous that history
records. The only excuse ever made
for him is that he was insane.
He was President of Paraguay and
intended TO make himself King. He
provoked and waged a five-year war
Argentina and Uruguay. He had a
crown made in Paris to be ready for
the coronation just as soon as he could
declare himself king of more than
half of South America. His idea was
to build up a great kingdom, not by
developing its resources. but by found
ing military despotism.
He became a despot wholly unre-
strained by law. All his countrymen
who opposed him were shot or inn
prisoned. He had has own mother and
one of his sisters publicly 1ogged in
the street. Another sister was kept
a prisoner in chains.
Every boy and man who could carry
a gun was impressed into the army,
and as the end drew near he compelled
many hundreds of women to fight
in the ranks. The whole country was
in ruins when bullet ended his life.
In 1861 Paraguay had population of
over 100000 There were only about
100000 human beings in the country in
1872. The land was nothing but a
waste.
1t had been completely stripped of
cattle, horses, sheep, and goats, not a
plantation was in cultivation, and
there was no money to buy seed, for
Lopez and the woman Lynch, whom
he had brought with him from Paris
the year before he became president,
had shipped all the remaining gold
and sAver TO England for a rainy day.
Paraguay has recovered slowly from
this experience. She now has a popu-
1ation of 100000, immigrants are COM
ing in growing numbers, and agricul-
ture and commerce are advancing
every year.

This is a fair specimen of the Euro
pean brand of press-agent literature:
Mark Hamburg, the pianist, had many
amusing experiences in America. One
night he gave a concert in a town very
far out West, where OF late highway
robbery had again become fashionable.
Two peaceful citizens were held up
and robbed of the contents of their
pockets, among which were two tickets
for Mr.. Hambourg's concert that night.
While the concert was going on note
arrived for Mr.. Hamburger, in which
the robbers returned the tickets, "much

Gallant and gay and young was he;
Sweet as the Queens own lilies, She.
Prince and Princess of high degree.
These two met on the marble stair
That led to the Sale des Fetes, and
there
She caught a rose from her powder
ed hair.
Careless of courtiers' frowns and
quips
Held it against her lovely lips
A moments space, as the wild bee
sips!
A moments space, and the crowd
closed in,
Throb of flute and the violin
Blent with the merry dancers din.
On the azure riband that crossed his
breast,
Jewel-splendid and lace caressed,
He set the flower her lips had pressed
Life to them, was a garden spot,
A song, a tread in the grand gavotte,
Treason and Time, to them, We're
not.
Dawn crept into the sullen SKY;
Throb of flute and the vioIs sigh
Died in a madden, fiercer cry:
Roar of rabble, and clang of bell,
Ribald jest and a mocking yell,
Sounds of shame, and the sights of
He'll.
The steps are steep to the guillotine;
The red blood oozes out between!
Who goes up with brow serene?
A Prince as proud as a Prince may
be,
And fair little Princess of high de-
gree:
White as the Queens own lilies, she.
Riband and lace have rent and~stain!
Wall o winds, in plying pain!
Weep, sad clouds, but We weep in
vain,

Death is weary, and sad of face!

grace!

The chief characteristic Of the Aus

Two cedar splitters lived in the bush
in the usual small hut. They met twice
a day, in the morning and evening.
One morning Jack said to his chum:
Harry, did you hear a cow a-belIow-
ing last night ?''
Harry made no reply until late that
night.
How did you know it weren't a
bull?" he asked
Jack packed his swag and departed.
