carefully, but never spent. It Is report
ed that the fund has been literally
drawn upon OF late.
The beginning OF the fund was In
1871. when Bismarck. having conquer
ed the French, compelled them TO pay
a sum Of many millions In gold to
Germany. Thirty million dollars OF this
was laid aside for a nest egg, not to

In the meantime Germany went on ac-
cumulating money as wen as training
her army and building big guns.

Americas Generosity.

Food for Belgium" the bulle-
tin of the Commission for Relief
in Belgium, which is the sole
clearing house for all Belgium
relief, says:
The magnitude of the disaster
in Belgium and the magnitude of
the response from America make
a story which will lead the
worlds record Of philanthropy.
The catastrophe has been so pre-
cipitate and the rescue so quiet
and general that our people in
the midst of it have not yet got a
perspective. They have not be-
gun to realize how radiantly
against the black background Of
war they have thrown the vision
of Americas ideals. On one con-
tinent in the Christmastide
slaughter and death and myriad
victims helpless in their woe; on
another a whole nation gather
ing them life.
when the achievements of the
States are told they will show
our human kind still fine, high,
heroic. The States symbolic a
loving kindness ten-fold, prec-
ious in contrast to the passions
and the pains.
For all that our chairmen and
other loyal helpers have been
good enough to do, the Commits
sion and it's Woman's Section
send them thanks and graft.

Trains.
The Santa Fe reports that
tourist travel to California this
winter is much better than last
season. All of its five t~rans-con-
tinental trains are running al
most to full capacity. The Eu-
ropean war seems to have slim
ulated interest in seeing our own
land, particularly the Far West.
Prospects for Panama EXPOSE
ton business are so good that
the Santa Fe announces a brand
new daily fast train, Chicago to
San Francisco and Los Angeles,
to be known as the Missionary.
The name is a reminder of the
old Spanish missions of Califor-
mia. The Missionary will make
its initial run February 7, leav-
ing Chicago 1920 p. M, Kansas
City 10:45 a. m, arriving Los
Angeles 1850 p. m. the third day
out, and San Francisco 800 a. m.
following morning 1t will ira
verse the Belen cutoff saving
many miles in distance, one
mountain range and several
hours time. By this route there
is a shorter line from Newton,
Kan, through the Panhandle of
Texas to Albuquerque, then the
old main line through La Junta.
Whilee missing the picturesque
scenery Of Ration and Glorieta
passes, the traveller who takes
the Missionary will find much of
scenic and historic interest in
Abo Pass, noted for it's wild
grandeur and prehistoric ruins.
Beyond the Rio Grande the route
is that of the other Santa FL
trains to the coast.

The interest was so strong and
cumulative that the pastor has
announced a series on young
People and the Church." which
will occupy the evenings during
February. The pastor expects to
deal with questions that actually
live in the mind of the twentieth
century youth and he hopes to
have the ear of Lexington's
thoughtful young people. The
first sermon on next Sunday ev-
ening will be "The Church and

The broad valley soon narrowed the naked rocks closed in, and fairly in the canyon of the Rio Rimac. Twelve miles out of Chosica elevation of 5000 feet was reached at San Bar tolome, Here is the first switchback, Meggs original device, which enables a train to zigzag up the face of canyon wall without resorting to abnormally heavy grades and rack and cog systems
 At Matucana 7,700 feet above the sea, the hand car which was to be our means of descending was trailed on behind. Our Indian cook now brought in coffee, prepared in the Peruvian style which very acceptable, the air quite chill. Then the climb continued over spiderweb bridges, more switchbacks, and numerous tun- nels the tunnels of the Infernillo (Little Hell) opening at either end of a bridge spanning a chasm over one thousand feet deep. AS the train wound and creaked along the forehead of the mountain one could look down the roofs of villages miles below, ant people and ant donkey trains and the multitudinous little fields fenced in with thick mud walls, which made the valley floor gigantic waffle iron. Above them. level with ones eyes, and up and up, seemingly to the very top of some of the mountains. the old terraced fields of the ancient Incas grass grown with the turf of centuries. The old terraces are mostly in disuse now, but the fields and groves of the lower levels still of the old irrigation troughs. They were cut in the rocks by a people who knew neither cement nor iron pipe, but they follow the contours though plotted with transit. Sometimes the cars creep along canyon wall half way to the top, follow the silvery ribbon of water for miles along the face of the yellow rock
 More bridges, more switchbacks, and the air grows clearer and thinner and colder The fields and gardens are gone now, the bleak table land country appears, and people whose hearts or nerves are bothersome would begin to have soroche. Below crawled burros and llama trains carrying silver and copper At Casapaca, 500 feet, is the big shelter of this neighbor- hNO m fn nf those absurdlooking animals seemingly between sheep, camel, and ostrich, which viewed the noisy industry with their looks of timorous disdain.
 Fourteen thousand-the chimneys of Casapalca's smeters were pins stuck in the carpet of the valley miles below-15. .000-600 more and the train climbed up and over and rested on the top of the cold. wind-swept Andean roof. All about were peaks and blankets of snow. One rose painstakingly and walked with care. Fifteen thousand feet is good bit of a jump to take be- fore breakfast Behind the station Mount Meiggs climbs up another 2,000 feet whence, through air so crystalline that one might fancy one could walk to the summit in half an hour. 1t
