Through the ages, mountains have

them as the abode of his gods-Mount
Olympus, to name one. Superstitions

IN THE Bernese Oberland, Switzer-

feared in the Middle Ages. In tiny
lake near the summit was believed to
be the body of the one-time governor
Of Judea. The superSutious believed
that terrific storms were the penalty
inflicted on the countryside If any one
climbed into the forbidding realm.
Town rules forbade any one from at
tempting to scale the peak, and as
late as the year 1907, six men were
cast into prison after trying to reach
the top.

makes the ascent Of 1000 feet. The

Tulip Origin a Mystery.


The Tulipa genus. it is interesting
to know. is of mysterious origin. BY
some writers it has been supposed to
have come to Western Europe from
Persia by way of Turkey about 1855.
But the Persian theory of its origin
is unsupported by any use of its form
in Persian art until just prior to that
date. and it therefore is likely that
its native home was in some other
section of the globe.
Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq, Ambas-
sador of Ferdinand I to Suleiman the
Magnificent, was responsible for the
introduction of the flower to the
French, the English and the Dutch.
A record dated 1859 indicates that
John Henry Herwart, grand council
lor, then had tulips growing in his
garden and an Antwerp merchant
named Carolus Clusius is said to have
received bulbs from Constantinople
in bale Of cloth in 1870
But the chronicle of the tulips mi
grations will be of little concern to
the average American visitor to the
district in which it has reached its
present principal home 1t will be
enough for him to remember that
wave of enthusiasm for the blooms
swept the Continent from the North
Sea to the Black at the beginning
of the seventeenth century The price
of bulbs went up like rocket. Spec
ulation ran wild. For a single tuber

HOLLANDS TULIPS
ARE SEA Of COLOR
Visit to The Netherlands in

Who Love Beauty.
BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

Holland, officially known as the
Netherlands, is ore of the smallest
countries on the face of the earth,
but it nevertheless is notable for its
features Of attraction for tourists.
To illustrate its charm. this anec-
dote will serve: A party of Americans,
momentarily in London in the Spring
of 1880, was discussing still undeter-
mined itinerary for the remainder OF
their holiday One of the company
suggested crossing to The Hague.
"Peace Palace?" asked another. His
tone was frankly ironic.
NO" was the quiet rejoinder. But
at Covent Garden I saw some tulips
from HARLEM and Leiden, and they
were so beautiful they made me want
to see them where they are grown"
The proposal caught the imagina-
ton of the travellers. They decided to
adopt it. And an intended stay of
three days in the land of canals and
windmills was prolonged to nearly a
fortnight.

Tulip Celebrations Held.

There is a special celebration" for
the tulips on the second or third Sun
day of April each year and thousands
of people come out from the cities
and towns on their bicycles to inspect
the displays. The tulip fair at Aals-
meer. near Amsterdam, is another
notable annual occasion of the later
half Of April.
Leiden is an ideal city for those
who travel in search of knowledge.
It's university has been celebrated for
centuries, and in the municipal mu-
scum are some fine pictures Of the So
called Leiden department of Dutch
art. In the Franz Halls MuSeum,
HARLEM are some Of the greatest
Dutch paintings to be found anywhere
in the world.
Travellers customarily make their
headquarters in either Rotterdam or
Amsterdam, and go on side excursions
to such towns as Utrecht and Delft,
but it also is pleasant to settle in any
Of several score villages and live In

is III a neighborhood of growing
things. even at night that feeling"
is in the air.
The foriculturists lay out their fields
in matter fact fashion, methodi-
cally and pragmatically. But the long
rows of blooms have dignity just the
same. Viewed from an elevation-an
airplane, for example-the landscape
seems embroidered in rich color, heav-
lily and purposefully applied. The
shades run the gamut from pure white
to an approximate black, but diff
ferent types of yellow and red predom-
