Meyerling not very far from Vienna.
Beside him was the dead body of the
Baroness. All sorts of rumors were
and 1t was finally given out as suicide,
but as suicide was 80 abhorrent to the
Catholic Church the Empress refused
to believe that her son had taken his
life. However, no effort was made to
find the murderer and the case Is still
known in Austria as "the Meyerling
mystery"
The death of the Crown Prince had
an alarming effect on the Empress,
who was devoted to her son. She
never appeared at Court after his
death, but wandered from place to
place in her sorrow. The Emperor,
who was always devoted to his wife,
did all in his power to lift the veil of
melancholy which seemed to envelope
her, but without avail, and to use the
language OF a noted Hungarian writer:
The borrowing woman in black wan
dered from country to country as
though dread shadow pursued her."
Empress Assassinated.
The Curse of tho Hapsburgs was
destined to claim her in Its clutches,
and this occurred while she was in
Switzerland trying to recover health
and strength to be present at the EN-
peror's Jubilee in 1898. Walking on

Bavaria, who had married her younger

Duke was the Princess Helene. who
was Just nineteen, and the mother
hoped that her son would fall in love
with this princess. but she was
destined to disappointment for he paid
little attention to the Princess Helene
and fell in love with her younger
sister, the Princess Elizabeth, who was
then only fifteen years of age. A year
later they were married and the beau

 These figures are based on reports made to President Wilson by the gen. eral staff of the army which has been at work on tentative plans for a campaign in Mexico for several months and 1t Is believed that the

these unsightly deposits of years are
more offensive than usual but the
fact that the river is so low empha-
sizes the Importance of great energy
at this time Some work is being
done by the contractors. but the Of
ficials fear the operations will be in
terrupted by Fall rains.
Quick Action Imperative
While the contractors are removing
some of the stuff covering the space
between the wall and the main cur
rent there are large deposits of
gravel and river stone at the former
outlet points of the lateral sewers,
which outlets have been removed. 1t
is urged that these be cleared away
by the city authorities while it is yet
time.
And the State Water Supply Com
mission is interested in the removal
of the outlying deposits for another
important reason. 1t is installing a
gauge at the Walnut street bridge,
which will automatically record the
Susquehanna river stages at Harris
burg. This gauge consists of two
main parts; a sensitive diaphragm, in
concrete box on the bottom of the
river and the recording apparatus on
the east abutment of the bridge.
In Concrete Box on Wall
The diaphragm is made of rubber
and is placed in a small concrete box
at the foot of the river wall, directly
under the downstream side of the
bridge. One side of the diaphragm
| is exposed to the water, and as the
river rises and falls, the difference in
pressure on the diaphragm due to the
varying height of the water pressing
against 1t, acts on an air column in a
flexible tube connecting the dia-
phragm to the recording apparatus
on the bridge abutment which in turn
acts on a coil controlling the move
ments of pointer. The end of this
pointer is supplied with ink and draws
continuous line of the varying
heights of the water surface on a
chart controlled by clockwork. This
instrument will record continuously
the stage of the river and it is only
necessary to change charts once a
week.
Debris Affects the Gauge
The new automatic gauge will i'm
prove upon the chain gauge which is
operated by hand and placed on the
upstream handrail of the bridge in
the first span. Before there was any
work done on the river wall this gauge
was about twenty-five feet from the
shore at the present river height,
while now, due to a filing in of the
river bed in connection with the work
on the wall, it is less than two feet.
There is also a large pile of dirt en-
circling the concrete box for the new
automatic gauge, which has not been
removed This pile of dirt in con-
nection with the other fill in the river
bottom at this point will seriously af-
feet the efficiency of the new gauge
unless promptly removed.
