IN FRANCE Miss Studabaker Writes From There Describes in Her o*n Charming Way the Beautiful Scenes Enroute There From Italy. Chamonix et le Mont Blanc, Hotel Savoie, France, June 1, 1905. bear Dick: Here we are at ( Uamomx We came this morning, and, of course are in love with the place In my letter to Mattie last night 1 told of our trip through the beautiful i Italian lakes. Now I will begin where I left off. so that by reading each you will have the continuous . journey. 1 write jiart to one member of the family and ]>art to another. I know you all read the lettersand 1 cant write often to each one. but by reading all the letters each one gets all I say. 1 think 1 stopped last with our last town in Italy—Dommodosola. We arrived there last Sunday evening and spent the night there. It is a quaint little town in a pocket in the snow lapjs-d Alps. Monday morning we arose at 4:46, had a 1 poor breakfast of sour rolls and coffee and started at 6 o clock b* diligence for our grand trip over the Simplon Pass. Our diligence had five horses. Three in front and two next the coach. The middle one of the front horses had on a bell. We changed horses, four times while going over the Pass. There were four coaches that day- The regular mail diligence and three more to accommodate the extra ]>asaengers The day was lovely and except when up among the snow, warmer than Italy. Tne scenery al) tne way was beautiful. At Isole we I passed the entrance to the tunnel.

The railroad to and from the tunnel i is already built and is utilized to'i convey supplies and materials for the work The company ha* built large shops at Isole and houses and a Protestant Evangelical chnrch | for their people. A Swiss firm is building the tunnel But you have read all about what a gieal work the tunnel is. so I'll: not spend any time on that. ltd is said no v it will not be open until November. Ths carriage road we went over built from ItfOO to ' IBOd by Napoleon, then first con- ■ snl. It is still a great engineering feat and is kept in perfect order. We were soon surrounded bv snow capped peaks and slowly kept climbing higher. Lovely water falls and thin little rivulets seemed to drop almost from the clouds “l slip down the mountain sides, sometime* scattering in a spray like a bridal veil and again coming with a thundering roar. OoCMioB-l ally were small houses surrounded ! by small patches of cultivated ground, in such barren soil we won- i dered how people ever made a living m such unfavorable circum- i stances We were told that they own the ground they cultivate and i the commune owns the rest. Their want# are few and they are Contented. We had lunch at Simplon near the top of the Pass. A little farther on we passed a large hospice i and church in a deep small valley, i below the road. We were told it had been deserted, but was then occupied by monks driven from i France. Soon ve 'ame *«• the highest part ui tuc Pass, 6565 feet above the sea. with mountains over 10,000 feet hign, towering over 3000 feet above our heads All was ice and ' sn<>w about ns. Tne snow stood in places six and eig at feet nigh on each side of the rou I where away had been cut through, ju>t wide i enough for a diligence to go I through. You know it is early in the season and we are told there 1 was a late snow. A few miles be- < yond the summit there is a large hospice kept by monks, where tourists stay. Automobiles are allowed on the Pass only three days in the year, and that was the last day. We met a great manv, tj our mutaal annoyance. Over »

dox-n htd slopped at the hospice and while we wailed f n onr horse* to rest, some of th* gentlemen t wk k idak picture* of the autos and dil I igences, other* snow balled and rolled each other in the snow, O>n- 1 tinning from there the descent **» sharp and the road was carefully guarded. Watchmen about 600 feet apart for may be a aide, with deep snow on the side- ?«>•««•• began to to go fast an t for miles i our horse* went on a gallop a good part of the wav We turned the sharp corners *u fast it made me nervous so-netimes. It *•* <he most exciting ti le 1 ever had. After we ft the snow line it was dusty and we swung <>n in the dust, tinlil even our eye brows were white when we got to the bottom. At Dommodosola we saw post cards, showing horses tearing along a road and people holding on the the seats, called "('rousing the Sim pion.” We said, "howexaggerated, we won't do anything like that.'' I wish 1 Could find one of those cards now to send you. It war five p. m. when we gut to Bnque our first town in Switzerland. I was so excited and had enjoyed the day so much 1 wanted to write right home about it, but it had: been a lung fatiguing day and 1 was too tired. We liked Bngue, | which lies 2350 feet above the sea and is the entrance to the tunnel, ' and were sorry to leave the next morning at 9:30. We took a train to Villeneuve, where we had lunch and then to a steamer on Lake Geneva. Just after leaving V. we passed the castle of Chilion, which Byron's pjem has immortalized. We spent the afternoon on Lake Geneva. The water unlike the Italian lakes is a deep gre*n I is as smooth as glass. It is » beautiful lake surruunded by snowy mountains and its lieautifu! gretu shares almost one continuous line of pretty towns and beautiful country seats. 1 think it was about 6 or 7 o'clock when we reached Geneva. We liked the city very much. Stayed until this I morning when we came here.' Changed cars twioe. Took an electric line last which brought us into C- Few people come by carriage now. Tne scenery was per ftctly grand. We have fallen in love with this valley. Three or four have laughinglly said where they would like to have summer cottages. This afternoon we drove to the three glaciers, Le Bos son, Mer de Glace and D Argentieires. They are wonderful rivets of j ice. None of ns feel strong enough I to try to cross one. We had tea at a little hotel at the town of D’Ar-j ginttiera. Coming back we got out' and gathered great bouquets of wild fl »wers. I have a big bouquet of for get-me-nots and send you some. 1 have no mure piper and mn*t Close. Write when you can. Luvc to all. Yuurs Affectionately, Hattie Studabaker Lilin Grove. John J.

Early this spring a pair of squirrels invaded our door yard grove, much to the fancy of our daughter, Nona, who befriended them by putting out hickory nuts, whioh in a I short time they eat with impunity, sitting on the top of a rookery. As one passed them by their stock of edibles becoming too large f >r pres rnt use, the same prompted them to lojato a winter storehouse, and was promptly located in a large apple tree, seven feet from’our res idenoe. where eight feet from the I ground their canning discovered an inegular surface.

As a boy runs when he lets a kite go. ao the flying fish makes a preliminary rush through the water before ascending into the air. In this way as it leaves the surface air impinges upon the lower area of the fin wings, carrying the body upward and onward with a gliding motion. The anatomical structure of the flying fish is such that It cannot flap its "wings," and ao it possesses little or no guiding power when in flight. Thia accounts for the fact that It frequently finds Its way through ships - open ports or down skylights or lands helplessly upon deck. Deceived. Mrs. Blinkers-What! Going away? Why?
