SCIENCE OF HOTEL KEEPING
Swiss Youth May Be Said to Have
RevoIutionized Methods Of the
European Hosteiries.

Like many another mighty enter
prise the Ritz-Carlton hotels had a
modest beginning. and the whole idea
had It's origination in the brain of
Swiss farmer boy, Cesar Ritz. whose
father titled a small holding. The son.
however. had larger ideas. Taking up
hotel work at the beginning In very
minor capacity, he developed a most
wonderful sense Of color. form and
taste in every respect, and he brought
the art of hotel keeping in Europe tofa
higher pitch than 1t had ever been be
fore. Indeed he revolutionized hotel
keeping in England and France. and
that revolution has gradually shown
Its influence all over the world. RITES
first enterprise was the Ritz hotel in
Paris. which he started about 1897.

LITTLE YET REMAINING
OF CEDARS OF LEBANON

All that now remains of the cedars
of Lebanon is little forest of some
four hundred trees, which are rigid
ly preserved. They lie on small
fertile plateau. situated at an alti-
tude of six thousand one hundred
and twenty-three feet above sea-lev-
ell, The grove is reached from Beh-
sherreh by steep and winding road.
With the exception of few stray
glers. the grove is inclosed by a
great stone wall built by a former
Governor of Lebanon to protect the
smaller trees from the goats.
The older trees have always &C.
cupied position of honor in the es-
timation of man because of their
connection with the Temple built by
Solomon and the various illusions to
them in the Bible.

says of them that they are undenia-

that this is hardly the case. for the
famous redwood trees of California
reach height of over three hundred
feet. while In Tasmania the blue gum

about eighty feet high. which is
