Starts Castle Building.

Duke Ernst of Brunswick, son-in-law of
Emperor William. and two months a
sovereign. has lost no time in starting a
career of palace building. One new pal
ace for which designs are now ready
is planned as summer residence for
the duke and Princess Victoria I.uise. and
VIII stand in a magnificent forest belong
ing to him near Brunswick city. Another
palace near Blankenburg will be rebuilt
Tor hunting seat. The dukes building
activity is probably due in part to rivalry
with the crown prince. whose protest
against allowing Ernst August to ascend
the throne of Brunswick has not been
forgotten The crown prince and crown
princess now are building a residence at
Potsdam. but Ernst August with his
great personal fortune, will be able to
eclipse this.
The town of F'riedrchslafen, on the
German side of Lake Constance. has de-
cfded to commemorate Count Zeppelin $
seventy-fffth birthday by founding mu-
scum to show everything available con-
cerning aerial navigation by dirigible bal
looms. Many of Count Zeppelin's manu-
scripts, drawings from books and reduced
models of his airships will be placed on
exhibition. Count Zeppelin made his first
balloon ascension in the United States
during the civil war.
The Swiss estate of August Bebel the
late German socialist leader has been
appraised by the tax office al Zurich at
$250.OOO. He had other property in Ger

No fewer than three trains, inelud-

exciting run the other day on the

It. despite the efforts of whippers-in
and huntsnen. The fox ran down a
steep incline. which sloped directly
on the rails just by cutting with high
thanking walls on either side. The
animal managed to negotiate the wall
on one side, but the task proved too
difficult a one for the hounds, who
crowded along the line.
The pack might have been cut to
pieces by passing trains. but fortu-
nately there was a signal box near by.
whence the signals were set at danger
and 10 fewer than three trains were
stopped. The trains were kept waiting
