Th work of th Countess among the rulnera ot the Rhine district ia also re markable record, and It was while mov ing among these men that the had fre quent opportunities of hearing of Evan Roberts and the Welsh revival, and this Induced her to visit Wales.

Tb men taug and prayed and listened attentive ly to an address by the Countess. The Countess la daughter of - th Into Count Lehnsgrev Schlmmelman, and waa born in the castle of Ahrens- tmrg. in Holstey. Her early Ufa was spent in to most exclusive answeruue circle on the continent, and for elgh ten years she was maid of honor to the Into Empress Augusta, of Germany, the Kaiser's grandmother. Bhe never took kindly to the conven tionalities and insincerities of court life, however, and eventually dissociated herself from her class and kindred, and, acting nnder strong religious convic tions, Tolstoysn In character, decided to devote the whole of her life and po- seastona to tb amelioration of the lot of the fishermen and sailors of Germany and other countries. The enthusiasm and unselfish sharing of bar world's goods which characterised her work among these toller of the sea raised the Ire of her immediate relative. In her autobiography abe relate how the superintendent of a private asylum waa induced to certify her as insane. Notwithstanding the waning of friends. she was kidnapped, snd kept In secret seclusion in place which she hns de scribed as a "human hell," where "luna tics oi the worst description" surround ed her. Eventually the Danish minister of po lice beard of her plight Parliament was moved on her behalf by means of the representations of a nleec of Prince Illsmorck, and she was released after the foremost specialists of Germany lind pronounced her to be absolutely snne. Bhe at once went to Denmark, her father's native land, and was re reived with unbounded sympathy by every one from the royal family down ward. Her evangelistic work among the sea men was resumed, and in order to do this satisfactorily she purchased the yacht Duen, the property of Frlnee Walderuar, of Denmark, youngest brother of Queen Alexandra. Since then her mission work has so Increased that its ramifications are now world-wide. Her "homes" on the Baltic, and esp cally the Naval Home at Kiel, are ta ken as models all the world over. As many as 8,000 tailors and fisher men have attended her meetings at Hamburg and elsewhere. Among the annual subscribers to her mission fundi are many of the occupants of the thrones of Europe, including Queen Alexandra, whom the countess bai vis ited on more than one occasion.

Interest the tourist to recall, when he reaches the other side of tb ocean, that all ot them wear hats, and pretty ones, except perhapa an occasional beggar, or a foreigner with a ahawl upon her head, who Is selling crocheted laces from a basket Another fact to be re membered Is that our American police men walk one by one, while In Italy they will be found always msrchlng shout In twos. The skyscrapers are of course distinctive feature. There la not anything Ilk them In Europe, one group covering the most valuable ten ac lot in the world. Tb Initial prospect ot the steamer thst ia to give th tourist hi first run from home is not particularly attrac tive. The great ablp doe not look en ticing In the dock.

Tb best friend to make at stsrtlng Is the deck steward, who Is ahvay pleased to advise the Inexperienced traveler where he will most enjoy sitting on deck during the voyage. This la the more Important because one' first choice of place will bold throughout the trip at sea. The great hour come when the steam er leaves Ita wharf, and the tourist re alises that be la off for Europe. The crowds on' the dock below wave their hats, handkerchiefs and parasols In adieu, and the big ship moves slowly away from Ainerlcnn shores.

Apparatus that Measares Om-Ist- enf r-Mllllontb of Inch, Dr. P. E. Shaw, of the University College, Nottingham, England, after Ave years' labor, has completed an ap paratus making it possible to measure one-seventy-inlillonth part of an Inch, says the New York Post Consul Ma hln writes that the Invention consists of a very fine micrometer screw and a series of six levers acting In con junction with It wblcb must Be sus pended by rubber bonds from a spe cially made frame and Inclosed in a box. The frame Is placed in a vault nnder the university and surrounded with every safeguard against friction and vibration, "but even then," soys Dr. Shaw, "it is impossible to carry out experiment to be successful while there is traffic in the streets. Every factory, too, where motive power is em ployed must be closed, even if it is tome distance away." Even a draft la did to be fatal to the successful meas urement of such minute quantities as one-seventy-millionth part of an Inch. Dnst must also be kept from the vault and it is said that even the buzzing of an ordinary fly has, made It neces sary to suspend experiments till the Insect bad been disposed of. The apparatus, It Is claimed, could be made specially serviceable In mess vrlng engineering gauges. It Is broad ly asserted that all scientists recognize that Dr. Sbaw ha succeeded In sur passing every other form of measure ment on gauge In delicacy and accur jagged kyllu of New York. nd look toward Europe.

Dr. Shaw I still Improving bis ap paratus In the bop of measuring quan tities still more minute. The general principle of the method Is electric touch. .This explanation Is given; "If two surfaces, clean and polished, come in contact the current can at one be made to pass through them and excite n telephone or other sensitive recorder.. Previously, It has been impossible to. measure the sparking gap of an elec tric current of less than thlrty-olght volts, but with Dr. Shaw apparatus sparking gap of half volt can b measured.
