Rest of Europe.
Austrian Tyrol, which la today In
the public eye because of the strained
relations between Italy and Austria,
is one of Europe's healthiest prov
inces. In the northern parts the air
drifts pure and cool from the haunts
of the glacier and pungent Ith fir
and pine; and In the south It Is soft
with Mediterranean sunshine and fra
grant with orange and lemon.
Though Tyrol is a land all-deserving
of the artist, the sportsman, the
vacationist, and the mentally or phys
ically ailing; though it is a country
where nature has been overlavish
with beauty, and where there are
more than 350 registered health re
sorts, it, nevertheless, has been com
paratively neglected, more especially
by Americans.
Austrian Tyrol forms a consider
able part of the forbidding and diffi
cult boundary that runs between Italy
. and Austria. It Is a barrier more ef
fective than the Vosges barrier be
tween Germany and France, or than
the Carpathian barrier between Hun
gary and Oalicia.
Austrian Tyrol is 10.305 square
miles of Alpine mountains, etched
with a wonderful and Intricate design
of valleys. While there are fewer
lakes In Tyrol than In Switzerland,
and while the highest Tyrolese sum
mit. 12.790 feet above the sea level,
falls far behind the monarchs of the
Swiss Alps, yet the Austrian crown
land yields nothing in charm by com
parison with its neighbor.
Among the rock-strewn gullies of
Tyrol Dante found the materials for
his picture of the entrance to Hell.
The main chain of the Alps crosses
this region from east to west, and
round it on all sides is a wild chaos
of rock masses.
Tyrol, though small, has more sorts
of climate within its borders than any
other part of Europe. There are parts
of the crown land where the winters
are those of northeast Siberia and the
Bummers are those of .Franz Joseph
land. There are other parts, more
southern, where an Andaluslan lan
guor is hardly freshened by recur
ring winter.
Tyrol is primarily a pasture land.
There is a little farming within the
sheltered valleys, and some lumber
ing, but, for the most part, the popu
lation depends for support upon its
flocks and herds.
Moreover, there is a goat's milk
cheese prepared by the peasants of
Tyrol that equals in its mellow, fra
grant beauty any product made of
milk, whether from Brie, Neufchatel
or Roquefort
The population ' of the crown land
numbers about 900,000, of whom more
than half are German-speaking. There
Is a large Italian-speaking population
tn the valleys of the south.
Yarn Restores Voice.
Laughter provoked by a funny story
has resulted in restoration of the voice
of Charles Kateza of Allentown. N. J.,
who bad been- speechless for two
years. About four years ago Kateza
lost his sight and hearing temporarily
in an accident in an iron foundry.
These functions were restored by
medical treatment but when he recov
ered be was without power of speech.
He was undergoing treatment In
Mercer hospital. A fellow patient told
him a funny story and Kateza indulged
in unusually hearty and prolonged
laughter. During the night he dreamed
of the yarn, and his nurse found him
repeating the story in his sleep. Since
then Kateza's speech has been nor
mal, and the hospital physicians be
lieve it to be permanently restored.
