The Bavarian government recently spent about $420,000 on a retaining wall to keep parts of the famous landmark from slipping into a nearby ravine, the National Geographic Society says.

It also brought tears to the eyes of King Ludwig II's financial advisers. The beloved but eccentric Bavarian monarch paid 6,180,047 gold marks for the castle alone, to say nothing of the national news stories. Scout Executive Boyd R. Ivie, Logan, stated emphatically that the legal corporate name of the Boy Scouts of America had not changed and that the misunderstanding arose over the BSA's adoption of a new communi- cative symbol using the words ScoutingUSA, traditional name.

ON ANOTHER FLOOR he constructed a .rocky cave like the one in Wagner's opera "Tannhauser." On moonlit nights the king often paced the castle's ramparts or galloped through the courtyard, pretending to be Siegfried or Parsifal, heroes of Germanic legend and characters in his favorite composer's works.

A Ludwig's eccentricities and growing indebtedness proved his undoing. A panel of psychiatrists declared him officially insane, and on June 12, 1886 he received word in Neuschwanstein that his uncle had taken over as regent. Ludwig was exiled to another castle, but lived there only a day. His body was found the following morning in a nearby lake.
