ing. One passage in scripture puzzled him: "One day with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as one day" None of the other monks could explain this to his satisfaction and one day he lay down under tree and fell asleep. When he awoke he went back to the abbey, but stranger met him at the door. He went in, but found that all were strangers. On in- inquiry he found that it had been over 300 years since he had fallen asleep under the tree. He told the story and they looked up the records. Of course the deaths of all his brethren were reg istered, but opposite his own name was note stating that Brother Ambrose had disappeared in the woods one day, nd as he had shown heretical tenden- cies it was supposed he had been car ried off by the devil. The people told me that it is common thing in the evenings to see an old monk with long gray beard come into the old burying ground and search around among the bombs to see if he can find his grave.
 A few miles farther up the river is the Apollinaris church. When Arch bishop Reinold van Dassel was returning to Cologne with the relics of the three magii the Emperor of Frederick Bar barossa gave him the relics of St. Apol- lin aris to take along. When they reach ed this spot in the river the boat re- fused to go any farther and the bishop deposited the relics here. after which the boat went right on 10 Cologne. Sixty years ago they discovered mineral springs here and an English company exploited them. The village and every thing else is ApO4lnaris A year or two ago they shipped over thirty-four mil lion bottles in one year and it was not much of year for Apollinaris either.
 1 do not know that there is anything else to interest you before reaching COblentZ. The valley widens, the hills are not so high, the country is richer and the vineyards give place to rich farming country. There are several old castles and several old churches, but beyond the fact that most of the castles were owned at some time or other by the Archbishop of Cologne know noth- ing of them of any interest. There is a Moravian settlement near Coblentz, but do not suppose that any of you care.
