Or. Traps IN FRANCE
. SWITZERLAND AND GERMANY

DR.. G. S. Traps, state chemist OF
Texas and associate professor of agri
cultural chemistry at A. & NJ. college,
who has been touring Europe with a
large party of scientific agriculturists
from the United States, is homeward
bound and will arrive in Boston about
September 6. He writes that his tour
of that country has been very interest
ing and beneficial to him in his pro-
fessional work at the college, and that
he returns well equipped with informa-
ton and data that can be used to good
advantage. He is a close observer OF
details, is thorough, student, and has
a mind capable of retaining that which
he may learn while he is abroad, so
that the farmers of Texas will get
much valuable information from him.
Of his tour he writes:
Lucerne, August 6.-The past week
we completed our tour of France and
have made considerable progress in
Switzerland. Last Monday ! spent in
Paris and visited the School. of Agron-
omy there, seeing mostly, however,
the chemical laboratory. Tuesday we
left for Dion, which is in the Cote
dor, or Golden Hills region of France
The meeting of the French Association
for the Advancement Of Science was
being held there. We were taken
through the Theological Institute,
where analyses of wines, ETC., are
made, and studies and instruction
given in wine making. Then we went
some distance on a car through thou
sands of acres of grapevines. A thun-
der storm coming up, we heard guns
going off, and on inquiry We found
that they were being fired to prevent
hailstorm. However, many OF the
grape growers have no faith in this
any longer and do not fire the cannon.
We had an interesting afternoon at
Dion.
Wednesday we spent the morning in
visiting museums, churches, co-opera
tive farmers stores, etc, at Dion, and
then took the train for Switzerland.
The customs examination at the from
tier. as on entering France, were mere.
ly formal The customs officer merely
walked through the car, though trunks
were taken from the train and through
the custom house.
Thursday and Friday we spent at
Berne. We visited the experiment sta
ton at Lichefeld on Thursday. This
station does only experimental work
and is well equipped. They do consid-
cradle chemical and meteorological
work, especially on milk, and also
carry on pot and field experiments.
Friday we had very interesting visit
to the dairy school and the agricul-
tural school at Ruetti. Only one kind
of cheese is made at the dairy school
the Bumerthaler. They make two
large cheeses a day. This is the size
of the usual cheese factory in Switzer-
land. The large factories have not
paid. The cheese factory is conducted
on commercial basis and last year
they made $1400. The agricultural col
lege is well equipped. Like others we
have seen, it is small and accommo-
dates only eighty students. The policy
here is to have number of small col
leges. There are about forty of them
in this country, although many Of

HUSTLER KILLED WOMAN
Aged Negress Struck by Southbound,
Death Resulting Instantly.


Aunt" Elmira Vanhook, an aged
negro woman, was struck by the south
bound Hustler yesterday afternoon in
the extreme northern part of the city,
at the Woodville crossing, and killed
Instantly. The train was late and the
distressing accident happened about 5
o'clock
The old woman had been to town
and was returning to her home in
Woodville, and was caught by the
| flyer on the crossing near her home.
She was partially deaf and did not
hear the approaching train until it was
i too late. The engineer saw her and
sounded his whistle long and loud,
thinking every moment she would hear
it and step off the track, not knowing
she was deaf. After he realized that
she was making no effort to get off, 1t
was too late to stop his train and the
accident was then inevitable.
Some negro women nearby were at
tracted by the whistle of the locomo-
tive and looked just in time to see the
train when it struck her, and said she
was knocked high in the air. After the
accident the body lay about eight
yards from the center of the track
and some sixteen yards from the place
where she was supposed to have been
when the engine hit her.
Parties who saw the body after the
accident said there was cut on the
face extending toward the back of the
head and that her neck was broken
Her right hand was also cut and
bruised and her right arm broken.
Justice MCGEE and Constable Baker
went out and viewed the body, but did
not hold an inquest, as there were eye
witnesses to the tragedy, making an
inquest unnecessary.
Aunt Elmira was the widow of the
late Parson Vanhook. She was eighty
seven years old and had lived in Bryan
forty-two years. Since her husbands
death several years ago she had lived
alone in the old Vanhook home in
Woodville, within stones throw and
in the very shadow of which she lost
her life.
rhD al In 70 o. ~
on the streets with her basket on hel
arm, going from place to place, pick
ing up pieces of paper that struck heI
fancy, scraps, and whatever else she
could find. She was good old woman
and will be missed by her white
friends as well as by those of hei
own color.
This was not the first accident that
has occurred at the Woodville cross
ing. In December, 1885, Mr. Wilson o.
Tabor and his two daughters were
caught on that crossing in their Wagon
and all three of them and both horses
were killed At that time, however, II
was veritable death trap, as the ole
oil mill was then standing and 1t was
impossible to see train coming from
the south. Now the mill building Ii
removed and a clear view to the south
can be had, but 1t is still dangerous
as trains from the north can not be
seen until they reach the crossing, OIL
if you are crossing the road not unit
you get right on the track. People or
the dirt road should use great care in
making this crossing, as trains from
both directions are always going at 9
high rate of speed when they pass
that point.

tree grown here is ready to cut. The
land in forests in Switzerland is about
25 per cent of the area and can not be
decreased Whenever any is cut an
equal area must be planted. We have
seen good cultivated land set out In
small forest plantations. According to
DR.. Moos' plans, we went from Zurich
Tuesday to the summit of the Rigi, not
only to see the view there but also to
meet Mr. Buerge-Gretano and inspect
| his herds OF fine brown Swiss cattle
and mich goats. The view at the sum-
NIT of the Rigi is said to be the finest
in Switzerland. Standing on that sum-
NIT and facing the plains, we saw di.
rectly below us the blue waters of the
Lake of Zuy, surrounded by green
hills and valleys like turquoise in
an emerald setting. Beyond yon low
ridge of hills in the distance We can
dimly discern the waters of the Lake
of Zurich To our left is three Of the
arms of the Lake of the Five Cantons,
and the collection of little houses on
that far arm of the blue lake Is Lu-
cerne, city of 10000 inhabitants. We
are nearly mile above the plains and
our view stretches for miles and miles
over lake and hills, and on clear day,
such as we have, Bavaria can be dimly
discerned We had been told that
fourteen lakes could be seen, but we
could see only eleven. Reluctantly
turning our backs to the blue lakes
and green hills and valleys, we faced
the grandeur of the Alps. From north
to south ranged their serried peaks,
a view of one hundred and twenty-five
miles of Alps. Nowhere have | ever
beheld the equal of such scene. Far
away we see the Jungfrau glistening
with snow, and peak on peak, many
of them snow-clad, meet our vision as
we turn. Whether this view be the
grandest sight in Switzerland or not,
it is one which it would be hard to
surpass anywhere
Mr.. Buerge-Gretano was very kind.
He showed us his fine cattle and gave
us post card pictures Of the chief ami
mails of the herd, and lunched us, and
our professor of animal husbandry was
a much pleased with the animals as
with the view. Being only chemist,
however, | preferred the view

On August 8 we left Zurich for
Munich, reaching there about six in
the evening. Next morning we viewed
the two great collections of pictures,
In the afternoon we saw first the agri-
cultural school. The collections were
much the same as at Zurich Then we
were conducted through the central
experiment station. Their work con-
ssts chiefly of analyses of soils, fer
tilizers, feeding stuffs, very little real
ly experimental work being done. This
is the largest chemical laboratory we
have yet visited, having head chem
list and eight assistants. | believe our
Texas laboratory is just as well
equipped and does equally as good
work. Next we visited the school and
experiment station for brewing. Then
we went through brewery. There
was nothing of particular note about
this brewery, except the fermentation
and storage cellars, which were eX-
cavated in the side of the hill nearby,
and are about one hundred and fifty
years old. The beer brewed here con-
tains only 2.S to 80 per cent alcohol.
Finally Prof Schmidt took us to the
beer garden owned by the crown,
where beer is sold cheaper than any
where else in the city. No visit 10
Munich is complete without a visit to
this beer garden, which is called Hof-
brouhous. Everyone drinks beer in
Munich. There are dozens of beer gar
dens and some of them at night have
two thousand people or more in them.
1t is kind of club where they meet
friends and talk over the news Of the
day. 1t is not mems meeting, either,
for nearly half the people are women.
Prof. Moos of Zurich said he had not
seen a drunken man in ten years.
Next day We visited the Royal Acad-
envy for Agriculture and Brewing,
about an hours ride from Munich.
They have about eighty brewing stu
dents and sixty agricultural | was
particularly interested in the equip
ment for the manufacture of alcohol,
which is here used for commercial and
medicinal purposes but seldom as a
beverage. We saw the new ferment
which is taking the place of malt and
increasing the yield of alcohol, and
also device for preventing the loss
of about 2.5 per cent of the alcohol
during fermentation. We visited the
dairy laboratory, museum, the expert
mental hop garden, the experiment
station fields and had lunch at the
expense of the institution, chiefly on
rye bread and cheese made by the
college.
We had pleasant trip to Dresden
and an interesting visit to Pfund
Brothers Dairy Company. This is the
largest dairy company in Germany. 1t
employs 900 people, has 81 delivery
wagons and AZ stores in Dresden. Be-
sides milk, it sells condensed milk,
butter, eggs and small quantity of
soap and cheese. The company raises
its own horses; has blacksmith shops,
can factory, paint shops, sleeping
rooms for unmarried men, etc. 1t sells
in Dresden about 10000 quarts of milk
and 5000 quarts of buttermilk per day.
No milk is placed on the market be-
fore it has been subjected to treat
ment to destroy the bacteria. They
also prepare for infants or children

swamps. We have millions of acres
of wet lands that can be turned into
farms. They are scattered over the
Union from California to Maine. They
are as rich as Holland, and will feed
tens of millions.
Another big project includes the
water powers, which the experts say
are equal to 60,000,000 horses, or
twice enough to run every mill, drive
every train and light every house in
the country. This power can be in
creased to 2OOOOO.OO0 Much of 1t
comes from waterfalls controlled by
the government.
A part of this same scheme is the
development of our rivers. We have
295 OF them in the United States,
with navigable waters long enough to
encircle the globe. The Great Lakes
are the busiest freight routes upon
earth, and boats can go on the Mis-
sisippi for 1000 miles. Already we
have built $500 miles of canals, and
we have schemes which propose the
joining of the Great Lakes with the
Mississippi. and also with the sea.

Washington to Be a "City Beautiful

1t is, indeed, something of a boom
town, and it's real estate dealers are
driving stakes and bargains out in the
woods far beyond the boundaries
Washington knew a dozen years ago.
Washington is growing in impor-
tance as city of handsome homes.
Even it's Faubourg st. German,
Georgetown, admits that the city
proper has acquired a society of its
own that is not made up wholly of
public magnates and department
clerks. The former gaps in its
street plan are now worth fabulous
sums per front foot. and Pierre Len
tant's estimate of the Washington of
the future has been proven none too
liberal.
To imagine Washington in 1850, 1t
is only necessary to recall 1t in 1850.
The various appropriations made to
insure the system of parks in proper
ton to the growth of the city, have
been investments. The perfection OF
the system of linking the various
reservations together may be done
more cheaply now than after ten more
years have passed. and it will be done
sooner or later.

VIZ JASHINGTON-Preparations have
w been going forward for some
time at the Brooklyn navy yard and
at Newport News for the construction
of the two biggest battleships in the
world. The one that will be built at
the Brooklyn navy yard will be chris
tened the New York, and the name of
the one at Newport News will be the
Texas. These ships each will have a
displacement of about $4,000 tons
and will be equipped with 14-inch
guns. They are the greatest terrors
that any country ever has planned as
yet. They are super-Dreadnoughts
mighty engines of war upon which,
perhaps, the destiny of the nation
may some day turn. The construc-
ton OF these two huge battleships
was authorized at the regular ses-
sion of congress last year. They will
cost about 100000 each.
The new ships, the New York and
the Texas, will be nearly 800 feet
long. Their speed will be more than
81 knots, they will carry at least 5000
tons OF coal and have a complement
of rs officers and 1900 men. No ar
NOR that is carried by any warship
in the world would be able to with
