fields. We left Vienna at mid day and
after winding up the mountains through
tunnels, and across bridges We reach
cd the tops Of the Alps, where a SUN
mcr resort is located which find many
tourists enjoying the cool air Of the
mountains.
Our journey for some 600 miles wa.
entirely through the mountains (Which
afforded Us many grand sights. such
~ beautiful lakes, snow capped noun
tains and many pretty water falls
until we arrived In the city " Zurich
Switzerland.
Switzerland has many beautiful blue
lakes, on the banks Of which are seen
many pleasure resorts. Hotels can b.
seen up the sides Of the mountains
nearly to the snow. The principal In.
dustry being that " catering for the
thousands Of tourists from all parts Of
the world We visited tho city Of
Montreux which lies 10 the south end
Of Lake Geneva, aud is famous for the
prison Of Chillou which Is built close
TO the shore, In which Byran was i'm.
prisoned for five years. lie afterwards
became the author Of 1.-THE Prison Of
Chillou."
From Montreux We won't 20 Lusan.
nc and from there TO the wonderful
city Of Paris. There were 80 many
places Of interest hero that We hadu 2,
time to see half Of them.
Al the hotel where we were stopping
we were furnished every morning with
a list Of places Of interest to visit. The
one that appealed to me most, was the
Tomb Of Napoleon erected in the cen.
trail part of the city. Those who en-.
ter the building aud look down upon
his tomb can I help bat feel he was a
great man. lie 10 looked upon by the
French people as George Washington
Is by the Americans. His tomb was
erected at cost Of several million
dollars. From there can be seen the
Enil Tower, which was built in 1887.

taken TO the top by three different
elevators. II Is made Of steel work
and Mt the base Is about 100 yards
square, ut the top there Is two posts
card shops, a store, saloon and a place
to view the city, through telescopes,
At the time | was on the top there
were over 100 people, 20 you can ina

: above mentioned we saw several mu
scums and fine churches, but do not

Sabbath is not observed in Paris
orchcstras aud bands could be seen on
o the streets playing dance music, Will,
a those who throngcd the street enjoyed
themselves In waltzing.
The metropolis Of the world was Wis

J, ITO the good old city Of York and It WA
a good 10 hear the music Of an Englisl
voice once more.
Our diet consisted Of ham and eggs
not because Of choice, altogether, bu
y because they could understand that or

find their rye bread very apctizing
but our trip was thoroughly enjoyc,
