Excerpt:Here we are at Deutz, on the other side of the Rhine, watching from its bridge of boats the profile of Cologne, made so familiar by the boxes of Jean Marie Farina, silhouetted against the glowing sun set sky. At six to-morrow, we will be in Berlin. Yesterday, as they were lighting the lamps, we were in Paris, though there is nothing very surprising in that in this wonderful century of ours.
