burg, the famous Swiss "Tower 81
London" one OF the oldest and larges:
castles in Switzerland, has just beer
purchased from t. u. Jessup of Phila-
delphia, by another American, Mr.. Els
worth. Mr.. Jessup restored the
castle at great expense to its original
Etple, which represents the epoch when
the powerful baiiffs of Berne ruled
Switzerland.
The castle, which is situated on q
hill 1853 feet I'm height, lis in reality
more Of an armed village surrounde /
by high wall. 1t is the most pictur-
esque and most important monument
of ancient military architecture in
Switzerland. 1t is easily reached from
Lucerne and is open to visitors.
Persistent reports OF new revolu-
tionary activities in Portugal excite tho
curiosity Of Europe as to the destiny
of the youngest of the worlds repub-
lies. 1t Is certain, however, that the
republican government. which now
seems fairly well on its feet will OFFER
a stern ard probably bloody defense tn
any effort at restoring a monarchy.
Twenty thousand reservists have been
called TO the colors and are stretched
along the northern and northeastern
frontiers, the most vulnerable points
for intruders
Another important phase of the pres
emit situation is the unrest known to
be prevailing among the mountaineer
element, which has not yet become ac-
customed to the new order of things.
To reassure these people the govern
ment has inaugurated policy OF dis
patching to the mountains small de-
tachments Of soldiery commanded Nv
an officer who business is to explain
the objects of the republic and coun-
teract the hostile influence Of mon
archist agents.
An interesting contribution on the
power of recovery of the body after
hard work has been made to the, Acad-
envy of Sciences. Monsieur Amar. the
reporter, demonstrated that the human
organism rests after work in accord
ance with tho law relating to the COOL
ing off Of heated body. The formula
OF Luton explaining the rapidity OF
the body in work applies also to the
rapidity Of rest. Consequently one
should find, according to Monsieur
Amar's theory, that rest is more rapid
ly obtained when the work has been
rapid.
The seaport town Agadir, on the
western coast of Morocco, was little
known of until the arrival Of a Ger
man warship which plunged all Eu-
rope into the fear of complications
and even gossip Of possible war. Now
Agadir has leaped into worldwide
notice.
The Sous region, extending far back
from Agadir, is rich in mineral and
agricultural wealth beyond the dreams
of engineers and offers new proof OF
the fact that Morocco is a country
teeming In natural resources. which
have only to be skillfully worked to
make 1t one of the wealthiest regions
in the world. In the past the relations
Of Europe with Agadir were important
In the sixteenth century the Portu-
guese disembarked there and built a
fort. The Dutch initiated the Portu-
guese In the eighteenth century and up
to 1773 the Spaniards claimed the
right to land there and seek provisions.

leave by the Sultan. England had.
however, a vice-consuI at Agadir nm to

Agadir Is perhaps the finest and most
protected on the Moroccan coast and
should Morocco eventually be divided
among the powers would be splendid
naval base for the lucky acquirer.
The lesson of the European circuit
aeroplane race is the necessity of de-
1eloping better motor, according To
he opinion Of the experts. The delays
Q the airmen from accident were COM
'arattvely rare, but motor trouble was
frequent complaint.
The power in the motor is believed
o have been excessive. In this respect |
he experts agree with the general
OF Wilbur Wright, who re-
emily pleaded for halt in struggle for
'btain great speed. What Wright
wishes is that the rules of speed races
hould be changed SO as to limit the
ice OF the motors, eighty miles an
lour, In his eyes, being good aver /
Ige. French experts want manufac-
urers to strive for the same regular
ty Of motor in an aeroplane that now
xists in an automobile; In other
words, give up the struggle for speed
nd concentrate on regularity and
afety. AS one expert said "The bird
) created. He has body and he has
rings, but his heart does not beat
egularly."
King Albert of Belgium enjoyed his
'ng talk with the members of the in
snational steel conference, who were
eceived by him and who found that
is majesty knew considerably more
han they had expected about recent
and experiments in steel

Jarking that the kings knowledge
'as extraordinary for layman BEL
ian friend OF the king said that IL his
majesty had not been obliged to be
ing he would have been an expert
ngfneer In technical industrial sub II
sets and that he diverted himself bv
tudying industrial science.
Which Sounds More Sensible.
