In Bavabia. 161 CHAPTER XXII. MUNICH. We reach this city, the capital of Bavaria, just before dark. It has one of the largest and finest railroad stations in Europe. It is covered with glass, and extends over several acres of land. This is one peculiarity of European countries — they will have splendid depots. They invariably call them stations^ and if you ask for the dq>ot, they do not understand what you mean. They apply the term depot simply to store-houses or ware-houses. At the hotel they ...put us to sleep under the bed again, as they did also at Zurich. Munich (they spell it Miinchen, and pronounce it Minch-n) is specially noted for its works of art. The mam- moth equestrian statue of George Washington, which, I think, stands in Central Park, New York, was molded here, at the Royal Bronze Foundry. So was the celebrated Bava- rian monument, which is sixty-five feet high, and stands on a granite base thirty feet high. It weighs two thousand and three hundred tons and is the largest woman I have met.
