London one Of the oldest and largest
castles in Switzerland, has just been
purchased from Mr.. E. E. Jessup Of
Philadelphia, by another American.
Mr.. Ellsworth. who is relative Of
ANDREW Carnegie. Mr. Jessup restor-
ed the castle at great expense to its
'origInal stple. which represents the
epoch when the powerful bailifs Of
Berne ruled Switzerland
The castle. which is situated on
hill 1868 feet in height is in reality
more Of an armed village surrounded
by a high wall. It Is the most pictur-
esque and most important monument
of ancient military architecture in
Switzerland. It is easily reached from
s Lucerne and is open to visitors.
Persistent reports or new reyolu-
tlonary activities in Portugal excite
the curiosity Of Europe as to the des-
tiny Of the youngest Of the worlds re-
publics. It is certain, however, that
the republican government, which now
seems fairly well on It's feet will offer
a stern and probably bloody defense
to any effort at restoring a monarchy.
Twenty thousand reservists have been
called to the colors and are stretched
along the northern ard north eastern
frontiers, the most vulnerable points
for intrudefs.
Another important phase Of the pres
ent situation Is the unrest known to
be prevailing among the mountaineer
element, which has not yet become ae-
customed to the new order Of things
To reassure these people the govern.

patching to the mountains small de-
tachments Of soldiery commanded by
an officer whose business is to explain
the objects of the republic and coun-
teract the hostile influence of monarch
ist 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 the law relating to the cool
ing off Of a 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
" obtained when the work has been
rapid.
The seaport town Adadir. on the
western coast Of Corocco. was little
known Of until the arrival of a Ger
man warship which plunged all Europe
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 an doffers new proof of
the fact that Morocco is country
teeming in natural resources. which
have only to be skillfully worked to
make It 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
fort The Dutch initiated the Portu-
guese in the eighteenth century and
up to seventeen hundred and seventy
three the Spaniards claimed the right
to land there and see provisions An
English company established itself at
Cape Judy, but wasforced to leave by
the Sultan. England had, however, a
vice consul at Agadir Up to the eigh-
teenth century The bay of Agadir is
perhaps the finest and most protected
on the Moroccan coast. and should
Corocco eventually be divided among
the powers would be a splendid naval
base for the lucky acquirer
The lesson Of the European circuit
aeroplane race is the necessity of de-
veloping a better motor. according to
the opinion of the experts The de-
lays to the alrmen from accident were
comparatively rare, but motor trouble
was frequent complaint
The power in the motor is believed
to have been excessive. In this respect
the experts agree with the general con
tention of Wilbur Wright. who recent
ly pleaded for a halt in the struggle
to obtain great speed What Wright
wishes is that the rules of speed races
should be changed so as to limit the
size of the motors, eighty miles an
hour, in his eyes, being a good aver
age French experts want manufac-
turers to strive for the same regular
ity of motor in an aeroplane that now
exists in an automobile; in other words
