THE MAP OF EUOPE b The war which broke out in 1792 be- tween revolutionary France and Austria after the establishment of the French re- public {n September of that year took on the aspect of a crusade for liberty. On November 19 this decree was issued: “The national convention declares in the name of the French natlon that it will | assist and recognize as brethren all peo- ples who want their liberty, and charges | the executive to give the generals the | necessary orders to assist these peoples and to defend citizens who have been or are likely to be maltreated for the cause of liberty.” In less than a month this offer of assistance becomes compulsory and peoples whose lands are occu led French troops must be given and a republican Sdministration. whether they want it or not. In the face of such a policy every mon- arch In Europe felt threatened and in- secure. Old Europe confronted the revo- lution, massed its forces for resistance, \;‘t was forced to bend to the storm, ich cleared the ground of much vener. able rubbish, sweeping clean out of exist- aneo the ecclesiastical states of Germlny and hundreds of its petty sovers! Repeatedly we see Austria and rising from detnt with enlarged nm- tories. This curious result came about by the peculiar process of transformation 1n the empire represented by the “indemnification, _‘“‘secularization” an “mediatization.” If Prussia or Austria lose provinces contiguous to France they MADE BY NAPOLEON Copyright, 1900, by Seymour Eaton. WAR GEOGRAPHY OF EUROPE. This treaty sounded the knell of the holy Roman empire, and made its disso- lution only a question of time. The des- radation of Germany was complete when the empire was recognized as the com- mon spoil of Austria and France. The process by which it was to be swallowed up is %0 clearly stipulated in the seventh of the secret articles that it must be quoted: “It {s understood between the two contracting powers that if, in_ar- ranging the pending peace with fhe Ger man empire, the French republic shall make an acquisition in Germany, his Ma- jesty the Emperor, King of Hungary of Bohemia, shall obtain an equivalent there, and conversely, if his royal and im- perfal Majesty makés an_acquisition of this kind, the French repubiic Shail simi- larl; receive an equivalent.” _Article twelve, t0o, provided that the different princes and states of the empire which should suffer losses of territory in conse- quence of this treaty or the one with the empire should obtain \?prflpr!ata in- demnities in Germany.” 0 wonder Na- poleon wrote: “If the German empire did not exist it would have been necessary t create it expressly for our advantage. sentiment the Emperor might ecgo rnr Austria, defeated campaigns, emerged With territories enlarged and gompacted, and provided with access to the sea by the Adriatic.

G. n lor mfl"’m mfl?-'i Jultus Kirchner Few people have a correct idea of the enor- | mous investment represented by a train of | cars. One passenger coach costs as much as a | comfortable home, while the price of a sleep- ing car exceeds that of a palatial residence. | Even the ordinary frelght car is worth con- | siderable money, and the usual string of them ;npmem. the value of a large farm. Loco- motives cost 1l up In thousands of dollars, and individuals who have never given the figures. The highest grade of train service in the world is maintained on the Pennsylvania lines. Coaches used on this vast system do not cost less than $3000 each. Every part, metal and wood, is carefully selected and put together by experts in car buflding. Ten thou- sand dollars Is certainly a large sum to invest in one car, but that amount represents the | price of a sleeping car. The equipment of a through train, in ad- ditton to the locomotive, usually consists of a baggage car, an express car and a fast maifl car, followed by a compartment parlor smok- ing car, coaches and sleeping cars. Only the best locomotives, strong and marvelous pleces of mechanism, run over the Pennsylvania lines, and each costs fully §10,000. The bag- age, express and mail cars are each worth several thousand dollars; the coaches one- | half as much as the locomotive, and the Pull. mans the same as the locomotive, making the value of a regular train exceed $50, But a 30,000 investment s small when com- pared to the outlay required to place in Service one train running over the Pennsyl. vania lines. This train, the world-famous Pennsylvania Limited, 1s composed exclusively of Pullman cars of the highest degree of mag- nificence, and is the most luxurious and most | costly train n service in the world. The money invested in it will buy a dozen fine farm Persons who' travel on the Penntylvania Limited have an opportunity to see to al extent genius and ekill have developed rail- The character train represent the highest standard of excellence attained in the art of car construction.

Electric buttons at every lbow. and ublquitous attendants emphastze the club-like conventence. The second link is the dining car, mahogany mirrored, the canopy a dream of decorations In rellef, subdued by stained-glass transoms and silken window blinds. e snowy tables, gleaming _silver, glinting cut glass, dainty Wares and tempting menus are particularly in- viting. The bill o fare embraces every con- ceit in and out of season. It were superfluous room sleeping cars of the pro- nounced Pullman type follow the dining car. Then comes the latest Pullman triumph—the compartment sleeping car, with private rooms and sultes, containing lockers, shelves and in- dividual lavatory arrangements, and affording all the privacies of home. The new com: ment car, in fact, has provided American tour- ists with all the privileges and pleasures of a private or special car. The Pennsylvania Lim- ited compartment cars are not only improve- ments on thoe exploited at the Worlds Fair, but they are finiehed In still richer woods, dra- peries and carpets. Two spaclous drawing Tooms en suite occupy the ends of these cars, boudoir erooms betwttn. aiternating In woods and colors @s to their finish and fur- nishings. The last car of the Pennaylvania Limited is the combination drawing-room. and ob. servatory, the two latter-nam comprising the social rendezvous af l passen- gers en route, where frequent fast fflendlll)l are formed, and the highest types of American travelera cime into camial contact.
