Excerpt from Russia, Vol. 1 of 2 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 J ean 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.
