miles to the Jungfraujoch station. The
new extension Of this road was COM
pleted in 1912, and the Press OF the
different countries fairly bubbled over
with compliments TO its builders and
descriptions Of its wonders; so. the
writer journeyed to Switzerland in or

fortunately Switzerland has an over
abundance of rain in Summer and
even railway mountain climbing is not
pleasant in these torrential mbuntain
storms. Finally. there came a day
when there was not cloud IN the
sky. Others had waited for that day
as well. There were all nationalities,
and as the train started there was a
perfect Babel Of tongues German,
French, English. Dutch. Italian and
Russian could be heard above the
hum Of the motor and the click of the
wheels as the train started. II seemed
that all nations had come 10 view the

Then we began to climb in earnest

were soon left behind while in front
of US rose the mighty Jungfrau, the

1t was here that Columbus suffered
the humiliation at tho hands Of
Bobadilla and was sent back to Spain
In chains; II was here that slavery In
its most horrible forms existed for
more than a century; It was here that
such buccaneers as Henry Morgan
committed every crime known and he
finally ended by stealing the booty
OF his comrades and running away to
Jamaica. Here revolutions Of every
kind have fiourlshed: revolutions of
the whites, revolutions Of the mulat-
toes and revolutions Of the negroes.
The cry for freedom has been raised
by the different races. and each time
It has been followed by the most
frightful atrocities.
Finally. I'm 1904, the negro Emperor
Dessalines ordered wholesale mas
sacre OF the whites, which was carried
out with shocking brutality. The
white people with their wealth were
driven from the land. In 1S44 the
island was divided as the people call
ing themselves Dominicans revolted
and obtained their freedom from the
negro rule Of the Haitian side OF the
island. The day. February 27th, 1S44
has ever since been kept sacred as the
birthday Of the Dominican Republic
