The coast line of France extends 1760 miles on the Atlantic and 456 on the Mediterranean. Its frontier on land covers 1875 miles, of which 1,156 miles stretch along the German, Belgian, Swiss and Italian frontiers and 419 along the Spanish frontier. The coun- try is divided into eighteen military de- partments. Each of these departments or regions is under the command of a division general, and each is cut up Into districts governed by brigadier generals. The cities of Paris and Lyons have separate military governments of their own. Paris is considered the cen ter of military defense and is therefore the strongest fortified position in the country.

A BRACE OF pARADoxEs.
Two Odd and Interesting Little
- Problems FOR the Young Folks
f& t. Ponder Over.

Paradox No. If you started from
Chicago and walked due west, and it
were possible for you to walk on un-
interruptedly in the same direction,
how far could you walk without ever
deviating from your due westerly
course, and where would you arrive
finally?
"Oh, that's easy!" you exclaim. 81
would walk around the earth and ar
rive back in Chicago" .
Very well. Let your answer stand
for the present, and take this: Two
geese are here in Chicago, one stand
ing facing the east and the other
facing the west, and at the same mo-
ment they start and fly directly as
they faced, the one east and the other
west. How far do these two geese
travel before they meet face to face?
Ask your friends 10 help you sclve,
this. They will probably take hold
with avidity, and the answers they
give you will be amusing. You your
self probably think it's easy-tco easy,
N fact. to worry about. Falf way
around the world. you say? Well. YOU
are mistaken. The correct answer de-
perds altogether upon the distance
which separated the m, in Chicago when
they started. For it. does MT follow,
tEat the. two geese. when enc stands
facing the east ard the other facing
the west. are back to back They r.ay
be face to face. Do you catch on?
Paradox No. 1.-Two Tcrscrs are,
born at exactly the same rcr9ent in
the same town. Fifty years Ii ter both
died at the same instant in the same,
town, yet one of them had lived LOO
days more than the other.
Now. do not ask your friends to help
you solve this problem. as you did with
the preceding one. Buckle dcwn to
it yourself, right now, without readc
ing any farther. No; there * 70 catch
in it; it is plainI straightforward
proposition and though it is labeled
paradox" it may not be paradoxical
IN the least when you read the ex-
planation, which is this: Each Of these
two men made 50 trips around the
earth, one of them always travelling
TO the west and the other roinr lways
in the opposite direction. Now. he
who went west around the earth lost
day on each of his trims, and in so
trips was so days behind the station
ary stay-at-home inhabitants. of his
native town. He who Travelled by the
east gained one day by each trip. One
Of these men, therefore, had seen 100
days more than the other. though they
were born and also died in tie same
! village at the same IL o1Eent. and reck-
oned time by the same calendar.-Chi-
