LUCERNE; THE HOSTESS
OF SWITZERLAND
LuCCI'lte, scelle of 1 HI port u 11 1 confer
ence* among allied statesmen, Is a
precious Jewel among Swiss cities
with tin* lake* of the Name name for
U? setting u lake where varlpd beamy
and historic |fi|0di^ou ure blended.
On thai lake's shores William Tell Ik
refuted to have exhibited bis marks
"i:in ship to the discomfiture of Oes&ler,
und on Its waters tradition holds he
wou his revenge by seizing the rudder
of the vessel on whb'h that tyrant held
blip prisoner and guided It to the rook
where he alined, not at an apple, hut
at his oppressor's heart.
I<oss picturesque, but iuore slgnlfi
cant, was the formulation of the per*
petunl league. That famous Instru
ment not only was the antecedent of
the Swiss con federation, but Marked
a mile post In humanity's political
freedom.
Heloved by tourists and crowded
with them In normal years, Lucerne
ha? retained many of its ancient as
peels. Its crumbling wall witb its
watch towers give It a medieval
stamp; two of Its covered wooden
bridges also serve as an galleries.
On the walls of" one are depleted
scenes of the city's history and the
other has paintings of the *T>aiice of
Death."
Perhaps the tnowt fumed art object
of the city is the Lion of Lucerne, con
sidered by one critic "the most appro
priate and touching monument in ex
istence." In a grotto, hewn from the
natural rock, Is a dying Hon pierced
by a lance, with his paw protecting
the fleur-de-lys of the Bourbons. Thor
waldseu, Danish sculptor, designed
this tribute to the Swiss guard who
died in seeking to protect Louis XVI
against the mob of Paris revolution
ists that stormed the Tullorles in 1702.
Many quaint houses remain, Includi
ng the wooden structures whose in
flammability gave rise to curious tire
regulations. Wood for building could
not lie in the streets more than 24
hours. No smithy could work between
vespers and early ma?s. Ipvery citi
zen was a potential fire tighter and
the citizens' brigade jv,hen colled to a
tire had to await word from the mayor
for dismissal. Women were required
10 aid at nlg^it by holding lights In the
doorways. Until two centuries ago
the city fathers were assigned special
duties in fire fighting.
NEITHER WARS NOR RENTS
DISTURB THIS CURIOUS
PEOPLE
The cone dwellers of Asia Minor,
technically known ns the Troglodytes
of Cappndoclu, arc. harassed not at
all by the housing problem, for they
live In nature-made apartment houses,
fashioned by trickling streams and vol
canic violence.
Nor Is it likely that they are con
cerned in the least about their politi
cal fate, for, though they inhabit what
Is characterized as the "cradle of civi
lization," they are more primitive in
gome particulars than the most be
nighted tribes of Africa or the South
Padflc.
A communication by J. R. Sltllngton
Sterrett to the National Geograptalp
society describes the Cappadoclans as
follows:
"Residing within a .^tone's throw,
metaphorically speaking, of the won

THE TEMPLE CITIES OF
JAPAN
Many fee t liave been treading their
way to the shrines iu the temple cities
of Japau In recent months.
In the temples of Tskyo tuany bits
of American pocket money went to a
priest for writing a pretty prayer on
a slip of paper, which the visitor, -In
true pilgrim fashion, pressed to his
forehead and to his breast and then
fastened to the temple wall In order
that It might be a perpetual petition.
There are 30,000 deities to whom de
vout Japanese write. Ji> a few Amer
icans' pleas scarcely clogged the oe*
lestlai postal service.
There were many nailve pilgrims 011
the way to the shrines. During the
summer months when the crops have
been taken care of. the village folk,
though they have thf fen i pies of their
own patron dell y and the fox god. feel
that they must semi out a pilgrim 01
two to the sacrc<l mountain* and hol\
places of Jaj>an to worship In behalf
of those who cannot >;<>. and s?o they
pVoVhle it fund for his expenses.
Not; does the emissary travel iu
vtate. Lite Tor hlu^' loses most of its
complexities,' He is equipped with a.,
cheap white eOtt on- shirt that can be
easily washed, tight-fitting trousers
and a loose white cotton jacket which
he tucks In with a glrdlei He wears
an enormous broad, stiff straw hat,
and on his back he carries a piece, of
matting which serves him as an utm
biella by day and as a bed by night.
He; carries his luggage in two bundles,
one on his back and the other In front,
usually labeled with the name of the
shrine he is to visit, and somewhere
about his person there is hung a little
bell which tinkles as he stumps along
over the weary road from mountain
to mountain.
In August the pilgrim rolls off his
mat and the visitor from foreign lands
climbs out of bed at the crack of
dawn to hear the lotus flower bloom, |
for the buds burst with a pleasing
characteristic irouhd.
If Nlkko Is the most beautiful city
in Japan, Kyoto can be called the most
interesting. Here the feminine visitor
finds herself bewildered by the most
exquisitely wrought of all the exqulsr
Ite pottery, cloisonne, bronzes, fans
and velvets. After she has bought
more than she can comfortably get
home with, she probably will want to
see a bit of the mikado's palace which
covers over twenty-five acres of
ground and Is surrounded by a great
wall with six gates, or journey out
to see the largest lake in Japan, Lake
Hiwa, and the 1,200-year-old pine tree
which stands neur It.

HOW SUGAR MADE CUBA
A WORLD EL DORADO
Sugar, like shoes, we once took for
granted. Hut procuring enough for
the preserving season was a problem
and sugar "speak easiex" are still not
uncommon In lands where the supply
Is rationed.
Writing to the National Geographic
society. William Joseph Showalter
says :
"With a sugar production nearly
doubled und prices more than quad
rupled since 1012. one can readily see
why Cuba is the world's El Dorado of
1920, and why sugar is its king.
"The imagination Is almost over
powered In attempting to comprehend
the vast proportions of the sugar In
dustry of the Island as It exljfts this
year.
"The cane produced Is of such tre
mendous volume that a pro<-?.sslon of
bull teams four abreast, reaching
around the earth, would he required
to move it. The crop would suffice to
build a solid wall around the entire
?v*o thousand miles of the Island's
coast lijyi as high as an ordinary dwell
ing house and thick enough for a file
of feur men to w alk abreast on It.

He continues :
"The Maine HVond plains that once

"The whole land has been l\ intr fal

exploration reveal* as one of die rich

"Exclusive of Arabia, which was
never more than nominally ? under the
Ottoman dominion, the Turkish empire
embraced about filO.OOO square miles
of territory at the beginning of the
-World war. Only about 10,000 square
miles of this were In Europe. The
Turkish empire was equivalent t/? the
combined areas of the British. Isles,
France and pre-war Germany. It was
larger than tall of the area ea.it of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers.
"The boundaries were the Black sou
and Caucasus on the north. Egypt on
the south, the Aegean and Mediter
ranean seas on the west, and the
S.vrjan desert and Persia on the east.
"Turkey In Europe wan almost a
negligible area, as the Balkan wars
stripped the Turks of all their Eu
ropean possessions except Constanti
nople and a narrow territory along the
Bosporus and Dardanelles some 40
intles In width; so that when the Turk
ish empire has been referred to in re
cent years, Asiatic Turkey was nearly
all that the term embraced.
