Berlin.—Thi y is the most com- fortuble city in Kurope. This plain statement of a plain fact doesn’'t mean that Berlin is beautiful as is either Paris or Vienna, but simply that as a place in which to pass a winter or to reside the entire year it of- fers opportunities which do not ex- ist in Europe. Berlin proper {s not imposing, its historic interest 18 scanty, but the new Berlin, Greater Berlin, i{s a brilliant city of villas set in a large park, where the streets are curved, where every vista invites the eye, where flowers rule and great spaces delight. Ten years ago Berlin West, say Char- vicinity of the lottenburg, in the Unter den Linden. zoological garden, was considered a suburb; today it is the real Berlin, and not the stuffy old town, with its dingy houses and not too fragrant streets. Of course, Unter den Linden will al- ways be the heart of Berlin for the tourist, not alone because of the big hotels of Friedrichstrasse, Leipziger- strasse, and the shopping district, but because the royal palace, the muse- | ums, the new cathedral, and the Lust- | garten are at its other end. I the Charlottc nburg ut leave it at the Brandenburg gate for the rarten, and a crow cannot {ly any Liter than the wide allee called Chaussee; then walk leisurcly through this delectable region till you reach the Charotten- burg bridge, thence up the Berliner- strasge to the bend or junction, (Knie), and with the exception of cer- tain parts of Paris and Vienna you will not find a finer strect in the world. There is the long Bismarck- strasse to pursue; or you may follow the Derlinerstrasse to the old palace with the monument of Emperor Fred- erick 1L, on the Luiseny .

ILE KT LINER \5 Big Leviathan Kills Self by the Impact. Ralsed and Shook Kalser Franz Josef, Over Titanic Grave, as If by a Tidal Wave—All Hande Rush on Deck. New York—The Austro-American liner Kaiser Franz Josef came into | port here with a large number of pas- sengers, much cargo, and a story of a whale of great proportions which tried to butt the bottom out of the big liner, and died in the attempt. The Kaiser Franz Josef was shaken to such an extent that the skipper, all of his junior officers, half of the crew, and scores of the passengers rushed on deck in apprehension. Not until the dead body of the giant mammal was seen floating away to windward did the skipper and his men know what had been under them. The account of the whale is vouch-, ed for by no less an authority than' Gustav Millimoth, the first officer of the Kaiser Franz Josef, who at the | time of the commotion happened to be entering on the log the fact that the big liner was at that moment passing over the grave of the Titanic. While he was still making this entry, the liner suddenly lurched upward, as if lifted by a tidal wave. The ship shook from stem to stern, and Cap- tain Gerolomich, who was in his cabin, jumped to the bridge. The passengers deserted smoke- room, lounges and stateroom and crowded the decks. In about five min- utes the cause of all the trouble float- ed out from under the ship. It was a whale at least 70 feet long, and a great gash in the middle of its back showed what the collision with the steamship had done to it. Those of the passen gers who had cameras snapshotted the dead monster, and these photo graphs were shown. They showed a giant whale floating in the water, and a close look ma (ible to seo the grear wound aed its life.
