QUICK JOURNEYS NOW.
Statistics Showing Progress Made in
Last Fifty Years.

A French statistician has just drawn
up an interesting document showing
at various periods in what time GER
tain frontier towns could be. reached
from Paris. The years CHI osen are
1850, 1882, 1884, 1854 and 1897. In
1850 it took five days to go f ,om Paris
to Calais. One hundred an d thirty
two years later, in 1882, the. duration
of the journey hcd been redu ced to 60
hours. In 1884 it had falls n to %
hours, and in 1854 to six he 'urs forty
minutes. To-day one of tai. boat ex-
presses takes three hours ,forty-two
minutes.
The difference for MarseiIles is still
more phenomenal. From 15 days in
1850, the duration of the journey was
reduced to 80 hours in 1884, and to-
day it takes 121 hours. The distance
from Paris to Bayonne two centuries
ago took 3SS hours; to-day If occupies
IL hours II minutes. Brest can be
reached in Is hours 81 minutes, while
in 1850 it took 270 hours. Finally,
for Havre, 81 hours was considered
quick travelling in 1850. It took Is
hours in 1882 and II hours in 1884.
To-day it is matter of three hoars
fifteen minutes.

EXPANDED BY HEAT.
Solids That Are Affected by the Weather
Some Instances.

The expansion of solids by heat is
eXemplifed in the following cases:
A glass stopper sticking fast in the
neck of bottle often may be released
by surrounding the neck with cloth
taken out of warm wafer, CT by i'm
mersing the bottle in warm water up
to the neck; the binding ring is thus
heated and expanded sooner than the
stopper, and so becomes slack or loose
upon it.
In an iron railing, a gate, which
during a cold day may be loose and
easily shut and opened, in awarm day
may stick, owing to there being great
er expansion of it and of the neigh
boring railing than of the earth on
which they are placed.
The iron pillars now so much used
to support the front wallis, of which
the ground stories serve as shops with
spacious windows, in warm weather
really lift up the wall which rests
upon them, and in cold weather allow
it again to sink or subside.
The pitch of pianoforte or harp is
lowered in a warm day or in a warm
room, owing to the expansion of the
strings being greater than of the
wooden frame work; and in cold the
reverse will happen. A harp or piano
which is well tuned in a morning
drawing-room, cannot be perfectly
in tune when the crowded evening
party has heated the room IN. Y.

THE FoNcT1oNNAIREs.
All Men Paid by the French Govern
ment Were So Considered


For the last half century it has been
the habit In France to consider as
fonctionnaires- is to say, at
taehed to the government by close ties
of absolute subjection-all those
whose salaries appear in the budget,
even if their duties are such as should
make them entirely Independent. We
have seen in recent judicial proceed
ings that the senators and deputies
implicated were amenable to the law
as functionaries. Long-armed as the
law is, il could not reach directly the
members of parliament who had made
traffic of their position.
It had not been anticipated-and
this is greatly to the honor Of preced-
ing 1egislatures-that the votes OF
senators and deputies would one day
be bought as one buys apples and cab
bages in the market The govern
ment, and the public, too, were strong
~ of opinion that members of the
chambers are not, properly speaking,
fonctionnaires. They do not act as
such, and it is even their duty to re-
main strangers to all governmental
action, in order to retain their indie
pendence and liberty of conscience.
The difficulty was turned. 1t was
said: 'They arc paid, and therefore
they are functionaries." Correctly
speaking, the remuneration they re-
ceive is not Salary" or even ''fees'
like those of doctors and lawyers, and
still less is it ''pay," such as is allowed
to officers and private soldiers. 1t
has been given the somewhat hypo-
critical name of Indemnity"
Senators and deputies are indemni-
fed for the trouble caused them by
sending them to sit at Paris For this
they receive 5000 frames per annum.
This sum would be small as salary,
but it is pretty large for an indem-
nifty. It is true that it is in addition
to certain small privileges, of which
the free pass on all the French rail
ways is not the least appreciated by
these gentlemen.-Nin eteenth Cen

MR.. NAPLES MISSION
An English Eight Dared Grew
May Come Here.
TO ROW COLLECIANS At SARATOGA.
This Plan as Agreeable TO Cornelrs
Racing Men as the Proposed Trip
to Henley During the
Present Year.

ITHACA, N. Y, Jan. S1.-The visit of
Mr.. +. H. B. Maple, the English oars
man, to Ithaca last week has caused
conjecture among the Cornell students
as to his probable mission here.
It is known that he called upon sew
eral prominent members of the Cor
nell Athletic council, and, according
TO statements made by him before his
departure for New York, matters rela-
tive to Cornelrs present oolicy were dis
cussed by him with Cornell authorities.
During his stay here he apparently had
some specific object in view and was
favorably impressed with Cornells pro-
posed American intercollegiate associa-
tion.
In an interview Mr.. Maple said that
he thought it quite probable that an
English eight might join Cornell and
her competitors in a race at Saratoga
this coming June. He now intends to
call upon representatives Of Columbia's
naval affairs in New York, and also to
visit Philadelphia to consult with Coach
Ward of the University Of Pennsylvania
crew.
He intends to inform them of his pre-
Vious talk with members of the Cornell
Athletic council. and if his plans are
sanctioned by these two representatives
he will place the proposition before
members of the Leander and Thames
rowing clubs of England and endeavor
to bring a crew across the water. Just
how much influence Mr.. Maple would
have with English oarsmen in bringing
HIS plans to a successful issue is not
known at present. He, however, is
known to both Professor Stephens Of
Cornell and to Coach Courtney. whom
he met at the Henley regatta in
1895. His father is prominent in Eng
lish politics, and Mr.. Maple is at pres
ent a member of the Thames, Leander
and London Rowing clubs. He also
claims intimate acquaintance with
Coach Lehman of Harvard and other
wei, known English coaches.
The class Of oarsmen who would con-
stitute such a crew, Mr. Maple predicts.
would be graduates of Cambridge or
oxford. While the crew of the UNDER
graduates would be more desirable to
the American crews. he thinks that
English university races are held too
early in the season compared with ours,
and for this reason students would re-
fuse to remain in training until June.
The course already mentioned was pre-
ferred by the English representative to
the Poughkeepsie course. The crews
would have better protection there, in
his opinion, and general accommoda-
tions are more suitable.
Mr.. Maple was satisfied that Cornell
would be greatly benefited by the pres
ence Of the English crew and that the
success Of the intercollegiate rowing as
sociation would be assured. A race OF
this kind would be very favorable tc
Cornell undergraduates, and the crew
men who had desired that the navy
send them TO Henley instead of racing
here would be perfectly satisfied tC
meet an English crew on American
waters.
