followed. When it became part of the German
CHoIy ROman) empire in the eleventh century it
was hodge-podge of petty states ruled by dukes,
counts, bishops and abbOts, together with little
city-states The beginning of the confederation or
cantons was in the thirteenth century
In 1916 Rudolph of Hapsburg, Holy Roman en-
peror, secured control of the duchy OF Austria
and threatened the liberties of the Swiss. To re-
its aggressiOns the three forest cantOns of U
Schwyz and Unterwalden in 1921 entered into
league. In the fourteenth century five other can
tons joined. The house of Hapsburg found the
noun taneers invincible At the close of the mid
die ages the connection of Switzerland with the
German empire virtually to end The
confederation enlarged by fresh accessiOns.
In the sixteenth century, as stated, Geneva shook
off the authority of the dukes of Savoy and Of
the bishops After the reformation in the peace Of
Westphalia C164s) Switzerland formally de-
cIared independent of the German empire. In
1898 the French occupied the country and estab-
Iished the Helvetic republic In 1903 Napoleon
stored the cantOnal confederation and new
tons were added. The congress of Vienna in 1915
decreed the perpetual neutrality of Switzerland.
Geneva of course, at once suggests noted men and
famous events-John Calvin Rousseau and others;
the Geneva convention, the Alabama claims, etc.
Modern Geneva is an exceedingly attractive city.
1t is beautifully situated at the southwest end OF
Lake Geneva, which here and pours out
into the RhOne, which is shortly Joined by the
Arve. The RhOne is crossed by nine fine bridges
which join the old town the left bank, with the
on the right bank. There many fine structures
of interest. The College de St Antoine, founded
by Calvin, has nearly 1000 students, over half Of
whom are foreigners. Geneva is noted an edu-
catiOnal center. The Cathedral of St Peter is
Byzantine in character and is said to have been
built in 1924. The botanical gardens interest
ing There several museums including the
AIusee Ratin; the Fol museum, with collections Of
Greek Roman and Etruscan antiquities; the
Atheneum, devoted to the fine arts. and the Au-

Lake Geneva is one of the beauty spots of the
world. It is about 40 miles long and is eight miles
wide at its place of greatest width. Its northern
and western shores afford striking views of Mount
Blanc and its chain. The lake is very deep and
beautiful dark blue
New boulevards encircle Geneva; they are laid
out aIo1g the lines of the old Notifications which
were demolished in 1851. Handsome villas crown
the surrounding heights. Altogether the tourist
seldom visits attractive city and one more

uncle, Charles Bonnet. De Saussure, filed with a
passionate love for the high Alps, the outline OF
which he gazed at every day, went exploring,
climbing Mont Blanc, writing his Voyages dams
les Apes (1T7917S6). His daughter, who be-
came Madame Necker de SausSure, grew up in this
delightful atmosphere. Charles Bonnet continued
to carry out his study of nature. and when he lost
his sight gave up his time to philosophical prob
lens, Strengthening his scholars belief in after
life Halter used to from Berne TO work with
him. Learned and scholars came from all
parts of Europe to visit them.
In this way the small circle of GenthOd, passion
ately interested in scientific culture and Christian
philosophy, became European center in direct
opposition TO the one at Ferney where VOltaire
derided the austereness of Geneva and tried his
best to destroy it.
After the death of Charles Bonnet his property
returned to the de Rive family which was connect
ed with Madame de Stael (1T76-1S17). Her house
is Genthod, and Corrinne came often on fine
summer days TO sit the terrace OF the philoso-
pher and writer.
The de PourtaIes house was built about 1850 by
Jean Louis Saladn, diplomat of Geneva attached
TO the court of Louis XIV, who mark of appre-
citation gave him his full-length portrait in oils
The de Saladn house is a height and commands
a wide view of the lake. 1t is to be seen in the
center of two broad avenues with its simple gray
front its semicircular outbuildings, all magnificent
~ located Beyond the fields that slope gently are

Along the walks where the two scholars medi-
tated around that house of pure lines, the meet
ing place of so many distinguished men, breath
of European thought seems to float in this Genevan
atmosphere, say the enthusiasts. An intimate
munion seems to unite all these grand and simple
homes to the grand old trees the gentle distant
slopes behind which appear the Alps, the long,
clear stretch of lake To all this VISTA at the
time so big and complete that it would seem
impossible to destroy this Incompatible harmony
certainly these homes and historical grounds
will remain as they and the new buildings will
be erected inland the plateau.

View of Bird Remarkable for
Extreme Shyness.

A few years ago a very great bird
lover succeeded In getting close TO a
colony OF Florida flamingos in the mid
die OF a swamp. He had q queer
basketlike cOntriyance made and Gov
cred it with palmetto leaves. While
the old birds were on feeding he
caused the device to be placed close
to the breeding grounds and crawled
into it. In this way he succeeded in
obtaining much valuable information
concerning the birds.
He observed that when they came
flying home they came with a great
rushing of wings and that the hun
dreds of them hurtling along through
the air was the most marvellous spec
tacle that could be imagined One
very interesting feature observed was
that each female bird went straight 10
her nest and settled down to covering
her eggs without the slightest cOnfu-
sion. The males ambled about as
though trying 70 show OF their lovely
plumage, for the flamingo is as vain rs

earh went to his own little home and

finally the Swiss Confederation is in itself sort
of League of Nations. From the practical view
point the city Geneva is attractive, not too large
and centrally located for many of the members of
the league.
In fact, the enthusiasts say that considering
Geneva's past, its long history full of struggles
and suffering through which it won its freedom, 1t
would appear that from all time this city has been
predestined become the capital of the intangible
kingdom of all free peoples united to defend, not
only their rights and liberty. but also the rights
and liberty of others.
The requirements for location stipulated fifteen
hundred meters along the edge of the lake, en-
bracing large properties; port for hydrOplanes,
facing the Alps and having access by land and
water. Within the walls OF the small territorial
district of Geneva, amid the country adorned with
parks and decked with gardens, several estates
available the representatives of the differ
ent nations.
The parish of Genthod, about four miles
from the town, perhaps the more readily fulflls
these conditions. Genthod, of the oldest viii
lagos, was IL part of the bishop of Geneva's prop
erty In 1885 it became the property of the
public and is inclOsed in the land that the Bernese
took from the duke of Savoy. An unusually beau
tifuI spot, looking down upon the lake from time
immemOriaI, it has been chosen place for the
GenevanS.
In the tenth century the noblemen replaced the
country house of Their fOrefathers by beautiful
estates; gardens were laid and planted. Two
of these estates with the houses intact, rendered
all the more beautiful by the passing of time, with
avenues and venerable woods, first chosen.
The Creux de GenthOd belongs to the family de
SauSsure and the de POurtales estate The Bar
thOlOni estate adjoining added; it is Occu-
pied by a large modern house called the Chateau
Rouge. On the other side is the property of Ell
ward Nave, the Psychologist, temporary presi-
dent of the International Red Cross.
Spacious grounds that belonged to the estate of
the naturalist and philosopher Charles Bonnet,
were also secured. incidentally, one of the
eighteenth century houses on the Bonnet property
was taken stone by stone to Geneva and Scrupu-
lousy reconstructed. Growing this long hillock
with its gentle slopes is plateau inclined toward
the Jura mountains, the line which fills the
horizon.
This presents magnificent panorama for dis
lance of over a mile along the lake shore. and
mile and half inland half of the township of
Genthod bounded the north by the VerSoix
river and on the south by road and crossed by
the Geneva Berne railroad and the route to

The most ancient of these estates, and the most
symmetrical is the Creux de GenthOd. 1t was

say the specialists of the bureau Of
chemistry, United States department

has increased in recent years because
of the decrease in impOrtatiOns of this
plant from Sicily. The American
sumac, if properly gathered and cured
is equal TO the imported article.
In certain sections of Pennsylvania
