PLUCKY WOMAN TRAVELLER.
Globetrotter Has Many Unique Ez
periences In Foreign Lands.

Globetrotter Has Many Unique Ex-
periences In Foreign Lands.
This much-traveled young woman is
Miss Edna Glenn, Of Philadelphia, the
Toledo News-Bee avs.
Her latest foreign trip included the
Philippines, Japan and China, and a
trip across Siberia, from Vladivostok
to Moscow.
This Siberian journey she took by
rail, but entirely alone, much to he
anxiety Of her friends. Miss Glenn
declares, however, that she new trav-
eled more luxuriously, the long Rus
sian train being equipped with every
comfort and convenience (save, per-
haps, that Of heat). There was even a
tearoom and a library, to which pas
sengers had access.
Although the trip was made as early
as September and many wild flowers
were still in bloom, it was S cold
that passengers had to wrap them
selves up in as many coats as they
possessed, and the snow fences were
already being put up along the rail-
road.
While passing through Manchuria
the train was armed with guards
n at the end of each car-to protect
against the Manchurian bandits that
infest that country, and who are. fo1
the most part, escaped convicts.
The villages through which the
train passed were mere groups of
wooden shacks and the people we're
clothed in rags.
But it was after crossing the Rus.
sian border, Miss Glenn says, that she
was most forcibly struck with the hor-
rors of the peasants degraded condi-
ton.
1t was while in Japan that Miss
Glenn took another journey alone,
which was of a still more adventurous
nature.
Accompanied only by a japanese
maid, this fearless young woman set
out on an expedition to Fujiyama, to
see the great volcanic mountain mir
rored in the lake at its foot.
Miss Glenn soon found, however,
that she must be parted ven from
the company Of her maid, 1t being
necessary for the latter to travel in
a kago, or small, box-shaped carriage,
carried by coolies, while she herself
must go on horseback, with a single
coolie as her guide and attendant.
Another Of her unique experiences
was Miss Glenn's months resi-.
| dence on board a United States moni.
tor, in a harbor at the Philippines
considerably removed from civiliza-
ton. She was there as the guest o
the commanding officer and his wife
and did everything but sleep, literally
under water" 1t being too warm fol-
comfort in the submerged portion OF
the monitor beds were made up or
the quarter deck.
Miss Glenn is an artist as we'll as
traveller, and expects to return, before
long, to Japan to paint its picturesque
scenery and to study more intimately
ths life Of its people. away from thu

government, and only twelve officers have held the rank
of lieutenant general. With the retirement Of Lieuten-
ant General Macarthur, on account Of age, on juno 2,
the rank was discontinued.
It is on account Of the smallness Of the army that
officers Of high rank have seldom been appointed to
command It. The European armies, with their field
marshals and generals. are large enough to warrant the
permanent organization with commanders of all grades.
At the time Of the Mexican war Major General Scott
was the only officer Of that rank in the whole Ameri-
can army. It was not till 1855 that he received the
brevet rank Of lieutenant general. Washington was
the only other officer who prior to that time had held
the rank.
When Grant was made lieutenant general in 1854 he
was really the first officer to hold that rank while in &C
tual command Of the armies Of the nation In time Of war.
Grant was promoted to the higher rank Of general in
1856. His successors were Sherman and Sheridan. When
Sheridan died in 1883, two months after he was made
general, the rank Of general and lieutenant general
ceased, and the lower rank was not revived till twelve
years later, when Major General Miles was made lieu
tenant general. The grade has continued for the past

LIFE STORY.
Hnrdships Almost Unbelievable
During Years Of Experiments.

During Years of Experiments.
OF all the men o engaged In the
study of aviation, none has had a more
interesting career than Count Zeppelin,
whose flights of nearly a thousand
miles broke all previous records. IN
til success came, his hardships were
almost unbelievable, and he spent the
whole of his fortune in carrying out
his experiments. His first interest in
aerial flight probably dates from the
American Civil War, when he made an
ascent in a captive balloon to watch
the operations. After this he returned
German War, and is said to have been
the first German soldier who crossed
the frontier into France. When peace
was restored, he determined to give
his whole life to aeronautics, and in
a comparatively short time he spent
100000 in what appeared to be almost
fruitless effort. At one time he was
so poor through his devotion to his
work that he had to live in a little
cottage on an allowance made to him
by his friends. Blu his invincible
pluck brought success at last, and n
of the first to recognize his genius was
the Kaiser himself.
Although he is considerably more
than 70, Count Zeppelin is still as
active as most men only half his age.
A German newspaper has described
him as follows: "He stands tall and
upright; he has an agile body capable
of unusual exertion, q constitution
sturdy through much exercise and sim
pie habits, and IN immense power OF
mental concentration. He is always
amiable, modest and deliberate. His
workmen are devoted 10 him heart and
SOUL" Through all bis many failures,
and during the DARK time when his
nearest friends looked upon him as
next door to a mailman, the Count
has had the continual help and counsel
Of his wife, and, even when her hus-
bands experiments brought her to the
verge Of poverty, she still had perfect
faith In him, and never murmured. It
must have been a proud day for the
Countess when the King and Queen Of
Wurtemberg took a trip in the Counts
airship, and a prouder day still when
the Kaiser called her husband "ths
greatest German OF the twentieth cen
fury"
Not the least vexing Of Zeppelin's
worries has been the statement that
the real inventor of the Zeppelin air
ship was not the Count at all, but a
deceased Hungarian engineer. It was
stated that this mans widow used to
receive a pension from Zeppelin in con-
sideration OF the fact that she had
sold the secret Of her late husbands
invention to a syndicate of which the
Count was the head. This story has
received q good deal Of attention by
the Counts enemies, and It al ever
rumored some time ago that Zeppelin
was about to fight a duel with q GER
tain oficer because the latter had pub
licly asserted the truth Of the Hun
garian engineer story. OF course, no
we'll informed people believe these abb
surd rumors; and to-day, not only by
Germany, but by every other civilized
country, the Count is regarded as one
of the greatest inventors the world has
ever seen.-Boston Transcript.
