GOODNESS FOR VIENNESE.
Snow-Clad Alps Less Than Four
Hours From City.

From the New York Tribune
Wouldn't snew-capped mountain, say
over in New Jersey. within plain sight
of New York and within lour hours
reach. do a rushing business these hot
July days,
Vienna can boast of close proximity to
the high Alps, distant from st. Stephan's
Cathedral only forty miles. Travellers are
able to reach the Hochschneeberg in three
and one-half hours by the Aspang cog
wheel railway. On the journey up the
most beautiful scenery is unfolded before
the eyes of the passengers. 4
On arriving at the terminus, the high
est point in the Austrian Alps, the trav-
eler finds hotel ready to supply his
wants. The Schneeberg offers an almost
inexhaustible variety of magnificent walks
and excursions to Reichenau, Hollental
Nasstal, Klostertai, Puchberg and Stixen-
stein.
Brightly colored Alpine fora greets the
pluck gentians, Alpine roses and edel-
weiss at will. Frequently, too. he may
catch glimpses Of chamois and other
game. klosterwappen and Kaiserstein,
$500 feet the highest points of the
Schneeberg chain, are easily reached by
delightful walk over soft moss and
flower carpeted paths.
In the Schneeberg are also to be found
the springs of Vienna's delicious drinking
water. The air of these mountain heights
and their accessibility from Vienna have
combined to make the Hochschneeberg
a much patronized resort. A sojOurn in
this reVlving air cleanseS the mind of
worry and the lungs Of the dust of every
day life.
Last summer June was one of \the
hottest days of AuStria's hottest summer
The writer was awakened by his host at

go where it's cool" Convinced that the
host was joking, the guest followed him
to the railway station. At o'clock fresh
mountain milk. cream cheese and rolls
were served in the cars and at 10 O'clock
when the regular cars were abandoned for
open cars on the cogwheel road, the tenn
perature had dropped % degrees At
IL 30 o'clock, when the HOchschneeberg
was reached, the travellers were in the
clouds, and had been going through snow

Service Across Sahara.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Though a journey across the Sahara is
still an undertaking of some magnitude
the paciication of the central region by
the French has been wonderfully rapid
during the last five years. Removed. as
it seems, from the exciting influence of
events in Morocco. and undisturbed by
Senussite propaganda, the French officers
have been able to establish friendly re-
lations with the Juareg and Berber
tribes and have organized a chain OF
posts right across the desert connecting
Algeria with French West Africa. The
! route for the telegraph has been sur
veyed. and wireless installation is be-
ing established.
Meantime by the last mail from Dakar
the Governor of French West Africa re-
ports that he has instituted a monthly
service by cOuriers between the Niger and
the Mediterranean. The southern point OF
departure will be the ancient town OF
Gao. OH the Niger. some 200 miles below
TimbuctoO, and the point of departure
from the north Insalah in the oasis OF
Tuat. which is some 300 miles south OF
rail head in the Sud Oranasis Interme-
date posts have been established al
Agades and the Ahaggar. The oversight
of the new route. which covers fully .OO
miles of desert, has been intrusted to Col
Laperrfne. commandment of the territory OF
the Algerian Gases, and Lieut.. Col. Girls
tofari. commandment Of the military terri
tory of the Niger.
Much is expected In the way of accus.
toming the wild tribeSmen of the Sahara
to the new order of things from the regu-
lar running of this service. and possibly
some development of trade may follow
But at present ii will be used chiefly as
a means of rapid communication between
the French military posts 1t is intended
tn 1T officers selected for service in or re-
| turning home from the Niger districts
shall make use of the transsaharan route
which will be more direct and less costly
than the journey from or to France via
Senegal or Dahomey. Both horses anC
| camels will be used in the new service.

Apple Land Of the Pacific.


Tasmania has long been known as the
apple land of the SOUTH but few at hume
have any real idea of the money that
can be made. and is being made. out of
apple growing in that island Last year.
for instance. there were many small or
chards In the south which returned as
much as 1,2OO bushels to the acre, and
one owner of four acres, who picked
over 1000 bushels of marketable fruit.
which he sold at Is. per bushel, reaped
gross return of 9SOO. AS his expenses
at the outside would not be more than
t1OO his profit per acre worked out at
something like s175. OF course this was
an extreme case, but orchards of twenty
acres and upward averaged fully 500
bushels per acre. and yielded a clear net
profit of quite 1900 in each case. The
area actually planted at the present time
In domestic and commercial orchards is
about 5000 acres. and upward OF half a
million cases of apples were exported to
this country last year.
