exceIled in the world for Mt. Blanc cred stands out in all it's beauty, with the Aiguille du Midi nearly 12,O00 feet at the left. The Dent du Giant and the Grandes Jorasses lie directly in front while many of the lower noun tains slope to the lake and form a panorama of wonderful scenery. At sunset, if the day happens to be clear (which unfortunately is rare for Gen eva is famous for it's rains), these mountains are mirrored in the clear water of the lake and the scene is one of indescribable grandeur.
 Interesting Scenes
 The Cathedral of St. Pierre. a Ro- manesque building of the 10th century and consecrated by Conrad II is one of the sights of the town It stands on a hill and seems to predominate the skyline of the city. The interior is gothic and many people famous in Swiss history are buried in vaults in parts of the church. The Cathedral was renovated and old parts restored in 1905, and at present organ recitals are given there three times week during the summer months. There is no 1*Ack or amusement TOT there are d number of theatres and a Krusal in which there are vaudeville shows ev- cry night in the summer season. This is on the Quai du Mont Blanc. A small admission is charged but this does not make it pay, so every visitor has what is known as Kur tax at tached to his hotel bill, small sum of five or ten a day extra for amuse- ments In this way whether one visits the J<rusal and pays the admission or not he aids in keeping up the amuse- ment. For those more seriously in cHned there is museum where some excellent paintings are on exhibition and a department where many things belonging to Swiss history are exhibit

reproduced here, was kept by the masters. The valuable relic is made up of ninety7six pages of coarse, wide paper, and IS in the handwriting of stephen Rogers, the Sailing Master, who died in New London, Connecticut, in 1868, aged seventy-four years. The log is owned by his descendants.
 The Savannah made only one trip across the Atlantic. After this trip the engines were removed and she was used as a sailing vessel between New York and Savannah. She was wrecked in 1821
 Largest Steamship Of Today
 After this crossing, steamship build ing began in earnest and companies were formed who vied with each other in the swiftness and beauty of their vessels. As years went by they grew in size as well as in the luxury of their furnishings. The war stopped the beautiful passenger type of ship. and in 1914 the largest steamship on the ocean was known as the Water land" which belonged to q German steamship company. She happened to be at Hoboken when the war broke
 out and was interned. When America joined the Allies she was taken over to carry our troops to the other side and her named changed to 'Levia- than.' Only a short time ago she brought nearly thirteen thousand of our boys home from their duty lover | there."
 She is an evolution from the three hundred and eighty ton savannah ,''
 which had few comforts, to a magnifi-
 cent steamship of siXty-five thousand tons-a veritab1e floating palace, and represents the worlds progress in a century of steamship building. How
 will the Atlantic be crossed one hun | dred years hence?

 Geneva is delightfully."- situated at the south end of Lake by the same name. Including suburbs. which are almost as interesting as the city itself, it contains about 120. 900 inhabitants. The River Rhone divides the city in two parts, one known as the old town on the left bank where the govern ment offices and business houses are located. On the right bank are the Quartier St. Gervais and the beautiful suburb of Les Paquis, which has grown with extraordinary rapidity since the removal of the old fortifica- tiohs in 1850.
 Early History
 The city is the capital of a small but populouS canton of the same name and has an interesting history It is mentioned as long ago as the First century, B. C., and was a Roman province. As far back as 433 it was the capital of Burgundian kingdom. In 534 it came into the possession of the Franks. Later ln 1O33 It became part of the German Empire and in 1O34 the Emperor Conrad II caused himself to be crowned there as King of Burgundy. There were many con f1icts between the Bishops of Geneva and the Imperial Counts of Geneva. In 151S the city formed an alliance with Fribourg and eight years later with Bern.
 Then came the Reformation which Geneva zealously embraced and in 1909 John Calvin, a refugee from France. found asylum at Geneva. In 153S he was banished, but on his re- turn three years later. his eloquence charmed the people, but his sway was tyrannicaI and intolerant and NIfchiaI Servetus, a Spanish physician, who had written against the doctrine of the

that both men and vessel would be lost. However, it was determined to make a coastwise voyage as a trial.
 The Savannah"
 The Rogers brothers were enthusi- astic over the idea of the trip to Liver
 pool and induced a, number of cap
 italists to purchase the ship just
 launched, and so well adapted for the
 purpose. Accordingly, she was named | Savannah" They allowed the rigging
 and other appurtenanCes for sailing to remain and supplied her with steam
 machinery and eeIs-the lat ter constructed to fold up like 3, fan and to be laid upon deck when not in use, her shaft having also a joint for that, purpose. The wheeI-house was made of canvas extended on an iron rim. She made her trial voyage from I New York to Savannah in April, 1S19 I in seven days after a tempestuous pas sage during which she had to take in her wheels several times and rely upon ] her sails. President Monroe was at 1 Charleston. South Carolina, and MT. ! Scarborough, one of the financial back
 CTS of the future ocean trip, directed l that she go in there and give the Pres l ident an invitation to come on ship i board. Owing to other business the | President was compelled to decline, l but said he would come to Savannah h l 10 meet the steamer and a few days ! later, accompanied by his suite. sev- eraI naval officers and civilians the ] President came aboard and inspected | the ship and was taken on little trip down the river, the vessel using its ! steam on the journey. Later the Pres i ident dined on board and expressed i himself as delighted with the project. i On the trip across the ocean the ] steamship started from New York hr.

l00 Years Ago fine SaV- annah, a Tiny Steamer of 380 Tons Began lis His foric Trip Across inc Af- Ianfic - Today We Have inc Mig Hfy Leviafhan of 6591 Tons.

Copy right. 1919, The International Syndicate. ET is a remarkable coincidence that @ just one hundred years after the N first steamship crossed the Atlantic @ a flying machine should undertake the same voyage. The people of that day TO doubt were far more skeptical Of the ability of vessel prOpelled by steam to make it's way to Europe than are we of the present time that ar airpl2na will perform the same feat. The progress in locomotive inventions during the last generation has been little short of marvellous, and as mans genius has provided many wonderful means of transportation on land far beyond the imagination of those of few years ago it is not surprising that the same genius, courage and perse- yerance will overcome all the obstacles in the way of transportatio over the ocean through the air. The occasion for the experiment is most appropri- ate, and no better time could have been selected for the initial voyage of an atrplane to Europe than the cen tenary anniversary of the first success ful trip of a steamer. It is doubtful if the periIs of the air to a flying ma chine on such 3 voyage are regarded today as more dangerous than were the perils of the ocean 10 the steamer century ago.
 Trip Started May 22, 1919.
 The anniversary Of the first success full crossing of the Atlantic ocean one hundred years ago will be comm em- orated on May 22nd. the date when the savannah" sailed from Philadelphia for Liverpool, and it is likely that the Quaker City will have a great celebra ton of the event. The boat was built in New York and was launched on August 22nd. She was mastered by the two Rogers Captain Moses Rogers, the Comman- der and Captain stephen Rogers, the Sailing Mate. The vessel was three hundred and eighty tons burden.
 Evolution Of steam As Motive Power
 Steam as a motive power on the wa ter had been tried on rivers and lakes many years before, for as far back 6 s 1543 it is said that Blasco de Garray, a native of Biscay, had tried a vessel of two hundred and nine tons called the Trinity" with more or less sue cess at Barcelona, Spain-the motive power of this vessel being a Caldron of boiling water and a movable wheel suspended on each side of the vessel.

 ion there might be as to it's terms wy and conditions, there was none as 10 the need for such a com bination Of Nations. When the establishment of the League was determined upon, some contest arose as to the place where the tribunals created thereby should sit and decide the momentous questions coming within it's jurisdic- ton. Although Brussels made a viz orous fight for the honor, Geneva was finally selected. This was an excellent as well as most fitting choice. The beautiful city of the still more beau tiful and picturesque Switzerland has been the scene of many arbitrations dealing with serious and delicate prob lens resulting from warfare.
 Scene Of Many Settlements
 It was there that the Alabama claims were settled, claims of the United States against England for per hitting the Alabama and other armed vessels to be built in English territory, to be used by the Confederate States against a friendly power.
 Geneva was the seat of two conven- tions establishing the rights and priv ileges of soldiers wounded in war and of those whose sacred duty it is to care for the dead and wounded. The first convention held in 1864 consisted of ten articles in reference to the neu- trality of hospitals and ambulances. The second one held in 1868 was on the same subject and consisted partly of interpretations of the former con- vention and partly of an application of it's principles as to maritime war fare. It was at this time that it was decided that the person wearing the

Miracle Of a Child
Learning to Talk

Wireless telephones - aeroplanes
soaring at 120 miles an hour-trans-
Atlantic f1ying-the plays of Shakes
peare-there are so many things to
marvel at we hardly know whether
to be amazed by everything or by
nothing. The wireless telephone
seems to the unscientific almost the
peak and summit of amazement; yet
is it any more marvellous than the
miracle every parent knows-that
of n child first learning to talk?
How and by what incredible magic
does that small brain, so inexpres-
sive a few months earlier. grasp the
astounding, inconceivable process OF
translating its consciousness into
our complex and arbitrary symbols
of speech? A few months ago the
child and it's puppy playmate were
apparently on an intellectual par.
What secret essence lies in the
child's mind that leads it on to talk
while the dog stays dumb-in our
language at least? Explain the
miracle of a child learning to talk,
and we will be content to take the
wireless telephone as a mere trifle
in astonishment.-Col Weekly.
