AROUND THE WORLD
Dr. Simpsons Story of His Visits to the Countries of the
 Old World

asked one of those tommies whom met in Altenberg if he could tell me where the castle of Emmaburg was, but he did not know a word of any language but German. What was he doing on the frontier where he would be asked question in some foreign language twenty times day or moreP He wore a green coat and long gun, but one of Louis Luud's horses would have been of as much use. He was also guardian of the forest. He should haveremained in the forest 1 drifted about, as the country was pretty and 1 was in no hurry. I did not care if was two or three hours finding the castle. 1 fol- lowed a foot path along the bank of a pretty lake about half mile long and almost hidden by tall reeds and rushes. Here 1 found "bonne" who could ak French l think she was Belgian. She told me where the castle was and then went along to show me. We followed the path a few hundred yards, the trees covering us in; then we struck the main road which also led through the woods, the trees almost meeting above us. We passed lime kilns, deserted quarries and caves, steadily clim bing until we reached the great rock on which the castle is situ ated. It is within mile of the village of Altenberg. It is one of the most pic turesque castles 1 ever saw. It stands on a rock about 100 feet high and a winding road leads up to the back. Part of the old tower still remains and some other portions but the greater part is modern. A stream of water about as large as Sheep creek flows from small lake above, past the castle walls down to the lake that 1 have al ready mentioned. The castle is sur rounded by trees so that you only get glimpses of it and have to go clear around to see it all.
 Eginard, ;be adviser and private sec rotary of Charlemague, was very much in love with the emperor's youngest daughter, Emma, and she with him. He used to spend the evenings and part of the night in her bedroom, but he went once too often and they were found out and had to fly. Cbarlemagne did every thing he could to find them, but in vain. Some years after when bunting he stopped to get a drink of water. In front of the cabin a woman sat on log nursing a baby. He came up behind her, saw that it was his daughter and said, "That looks good to me-" She heard the footsteps, turned around, burst into tears and begged for mercy. Just then Eginard came in from the woods with log of wood on his shoul- der. He had patches on knees and the seat of his trousers and was whistling "Garryowen." When he saw the em- peror he dropped the log, stopped the tune and, dropping on bis knees, also begged for mercy. Charlemagne for gave them and said he would stay for | dinner. The fare was plain, bat nour' ishiug, there being an abundance of fish, game and Venison. The emperor said, "As you two are so happy in a cabin will try and do better for you." He built them castle and gave them a large tract of land as an estate. Egin, ard and Emma were so pleased that they told the old man that he might come as often as he liked and spend two or three weeks if he felt like it and it would not cost him cent. He did

and for the rest of his life it was his favorite retreat when tired by the cares of state. Eginard and Emma are buried in the castle grounds.
 BoNN.--l asked Nebraska doctor who had travelled extensively in Ger many what kind of city Bonn was. He said: 'lt is on the Rhine, and one of the fountains is represented by little iron boy from whom the water is run ming quite naturally, and not from the sweat pores, either" Bonne is little more than twenty miles from Cologne. It has nearly 100000 inhabitants, is university city and very pretty. There are about 5000 students and some of the celebrated men in Germany have been educated there. It is very old city and was settled by the Romans under Drusus.

Now a party in Douglas jwho has probably been hanged by this time), named Hopp, says that will never tell the truth if can get lie to fit in; so allowing for my laundering, my illiteracy, and proneness to lie, 1 think am doing fairly well.
 Bonn has beautiful parks and ave- nues, splendid bridge, magnificent li' brary, cemetery containing the tombs of many celebrated people and cath edral built by St. Helena. Her statue is in the cathedral, but does not add to it's beauty.
 In front of the cathedral is the mar ket pl ace in which is statue of Betho- ven, who was born in house few doors away. Bonn never cut much of figure nntil 1267, when the Archbishop i of Cologne took up his residence there. For about three hundred years it was quite prosperous until the archbishop showed protestant tendencies, among other things marrying a nun, Agnes | of Mansfield 1t had time then for 150 years, then picked up until the i French revolution, when the population | fell to 1000. It is now quite tourist resort and educational center. Just above Bonn the Rhine becomes inter- esting and for the next two hundred miles it is very picturesque. Part of the way travelled by rail and part by ! steamer. 1 also walked over much of the country, often going back on my 1 own trail twelve or fifteen miles. The Rhine averages from 400 to 300 yards wide for the part which saw. On either side are hills running from 800 to 1900 feet high. On almost every hill is castle or watch tower, and with nearly all those castles is connected some legend. will not take up many of them, as they would become monot- onous, but I will mention few that seemed probable and that l found in- teresting.

The Spithead Review.

What did the admiral think OF the
great naval review at Spithead?"
That was an easy question. and one
which would not upset the peace of ma
tons. no matter what the answer might
be. Commander Tanaguchi turned to
Admiral Togo and said about ten words.
Admiral Togo. without changing a line
in his impressive face, said about four
Japanese words, in a little far away
voice.
The admiral says began the inter
prefer, that the review at Spithead was
the greatest naval sight he has ever seen.
For smartness of ships it surpaSses any
thing the world has ever seem He was
impressed by the discipline of the crews
and by the vast line of battieships, the
finest ever gathered together at once. 1t
was a sight that would stir the heart of
any one"
Does the admiral have any ideas about
the size of battleships? Should they be
built larger than they afe now? VIII
there be any increase in their size in the
future?'
Four words from the interpreter, three
from the admiral.
To the interviewers, from the inter
prefer:
There are many opinions about the size
of battleShipS. Some people think they
should be larger, but just how large is
question for naval experts. Some peo-
pie think that ship of 10000 tons Is
large enough. others think 10000 is nearer
to the correct size"
Then came the question which the in
reviewers believed might be turned
down:

What about arbitra ton .
For Arbitration and Navies

Admiral Togo used more than -four
words on this. He spoke earnestly for a
minute. What he said translated, was:
There would be great advantage to all
nations If their troubles could be settled
by arbitration. The great world powers
ought to be able to settle their disputes
without resorting to arms. 1t would work
great happiness and do away with great
sorrow If there could be no more war. Ia e
work toward establishing world peace. -
But would you do away with all ma
vies disarm all nations?"
1t is almost needless to SAY that the ad-
miral understood that perfectly. for he
was quick in making answer to the inter-
prefer:
mo. All nations should keep their ma
vies and should have plenty of armament
l think the ships could be increased in
siZe-they should be larger
Some one asked about aeroplanes.
They would be of great value in some
cases. said the admiral.
Pressed for specific cases, he made
answer that perhaps in scouting they
could be used to advantage, but he
also scoffed at the suggestion that the
time would come when an aeroplane
would ever be terror to battleship.
The Panama Canal,
Then the interviewing party got down
W tlc question VI the fdHdINd canal
What about 1t?
Well" began the interpreter, "he
thinks it would be q great thing for
the trade of nations
"Oh, yes INTERCEPTED one Of the news
paper men, but what about the canal
in case Of war between the United
States and
He isn't talking about it." said the
Interpreter hastily.
Admiral Togo volunteered the in
formation that he was tremendously
pleased with the great big reception he
was getting, and that the American
people were giving him a grand time
He said he was very glad to meet Presi-
dent Taft. and formed the impression
that he was a great nlan-ceTtain a
most cordial one.
Then some one asked him about Amer
lean ladies;
He has seen only one" said the in
tefFreter. "a lady reporter"
And a loud laugh from the assembled
newspaper men broke into the air at
that time
And then the interview was over, the
admiral shook hands with each and
every one and said in Japanese that
the newspapers are treating him very
we'll indeed.

Advantage to Health Department.
The principal advantage that the health
department will reap from the campaign
will be the ascertaining of the sections In
which the most flies were killed. BeleV-
ing that the appearance OF greater
number of flies In one part OF the city
than in another Indicates that there are
conditions in those sections under Wh1ch
the insects thrive, the health department
intends to search out the conditions and
correct them.
tn this end the cards of the contestants
will be grouped by districts. The areas
shown to have been the most severely ny
infested will be inspected first II Is d
vigorous campaign that the department
intends to inaugurate supplementary to
the crusade conducted by The star. swat

departments motto.
After the departments campaign has
got under way DR.. Murray will consider
issuing a report on the success OF Ine
stars crusade and some or the Hy-de-
stroying methods developed.
Methods of determination.
| From the communications that have
reached DR.. Murray it is evident that
the 'swatter'' played the biggest part
! in the destruction of the 100000 flies,
but number Of traps were used with
success. Some of these traps were in
| ventions, and. according to the health
EXPERT. are better than number already
| on the market.
F,ffective means Of discriminating flies
| caught in traps will be considered IN
the Murray report. Drowning was the
method most generally employed In the
campaign just closed.
washington children have contributed
| much to both science and invention, &C
cordinR to Dr. Murray, and their
achievements doubtless will come in for
no little study by officials Of other cities
| that may inaugurate similar campaigns.
Commendable Perseverance.
| 1T had no idea when the contest began
that the children would stay in the fight
as they have" said DR.. Murray, but
| every day their killings increased and
there seemed to be no limit to their
energy. I do not believe that any city
has conducted Ay-exterminating contest
