OF America A large proportion Of the
articles are signed with the names Of
the writers, even when the work is
more or less Of routine nature, such
as the sporting or law departments of
the paper. On the other hand, the own
ership of newspapers is less frequently
lodged in single hands than is the case
in America. Very many Of the French
papers are owned BY companies or asso-
Citations while the stock of several Of
the best known, such as The Figaro and
Petit Journal is bought and sold daily
on the Stock Exchange, the quotations
appearing rs regularly as those Of rail
way shares or Government bonds.
The circulation of all but a very few
of the Paris papers varies enormously,
according to the contents. If a paper
contains a striking article, we'll adver-
nsed previously. or if its feuilleton, con
tinued story or memoirs, which most OF
the French journals consider an essen
tial part Of their daily issue, is by some
we'll known author, the circulation will
