GETTING ABOUT PARIS,
The Street Cars and Omnibuses Of tho
City and the Rates of Fares.

The means of passenger transit in
Paris is something that will interest a
great many people the coming year. in
view Of the throngs that will visit the
exposition. 1t is effected by electri-
city, steam, compressed air and horse
power. There are three tramway lines
serving Paris and the suburbs, and ON
nibuses are generally used throughout
the city. One of the aforementioned
tram lines belongs TO the COmpagnie

two are practically controlled by the
same company: so that it can be said
TO have monopoly of the entire pas
senger transit. exclusive of cabs and
carriages. 1t is a stock company. or

No passengers are taken on when the

enough to fill one conveyance the pre-

first numbers. The next omnibus or

Ingenious Expedient.

A local correspondent says that the
other day a friend of his brought him
a chunk of ice which he threw into
his jar. But here was a difficult prob
lem for him. The quantity of water
was too great to be sufficiently cooled
by that piece, which was melting as
last as our correspondent was himself
doing in tears. At last a highly val
ued friend of his-who had spent the
best portion of his life in scientific re-
searches on the most original lines
came to his rescue and, after mature
reflection, was of opinion that the best
way out of the difficulty would be to
evapOrate the greater portion of aqua
by heating while the ice would surely
cool the remaining Quantity.-Lahore

Justice, Who Doesn't Know Put" from
Cali Sits on the Game.

Cali Sits the Game.
Without regarding the feelings OF
devotees of golf. Justice Potts OF Jer-
sey City has brought the aristocratic
game which cannot be played without
cleeks, mashies. lofters, and drivers
down to the level of 'shinney," game
that only requires crooked stick, any
old thing that will serve as a ball,
tough shins, and an opponent whom
the player does not like. Mrs. Pauline
Scharff lives near the links of the Jer
sey City Golf club. and has filed objec-
tions to having her children swatted on
the head by golf balls driven in an &C.
centric manner by beginners At the
game. Despite the heat. Mrs. Scharff
also objects to having the windows OF
her home suddenly fall to pieces in Il
most disquieting way. 1t was to stop
these annoyanceS that Mrs. Scharff
caused Albert l.. Drayton, president Of
the club, to explain to Justice Potts
not only how it happened. but also
how he would stop it in the future.
The elite of Jersey City crowded the
courtroom yesterday, and listened to
Mr. Drayton explain that the Organi-
cation, through late recruits, had made
some Of the most wonderful strokes on
record He added that in few days a
new course would be arranged, and the
beginners quarantined nine miles from
any sign of civilization Mrs. Scharf
was willing to compromise, and even
went so far as TO express her admira-
ton of the game when played in an
other state, and everything was set
tied. But the game is 'shinney.' just
the same was the decision given by
Justice Potts. and which caused the
elite to loft their noses and foozle their
glances as they left the putting green
bound for the next tee. New York

HOW 1T is DONE IN GERMANY
Tree Culture Is One of the Most Pride
Occupations of the PeOple


Occupations of the People.
While congress and the several state
legislatures have for years been food
ed with petitions and proposed laws for
the preservation of the forest trees of
the country, nearly all Of them more or
less defective. the people of Germany
have solved the problem with very lit
tie ado. Germany is an old country.
Centuries ago what we might call its
virgin timber was exhausted and the
country found itself with a dense pop
ulation dependent on limited area of
land to supply its needs for wood ma
terial. What should they do? Should
they stint their use in this direction
to a niggardly amount? Should they
call on the stock of newer countries
for their supply? They did neither of
these things. They went to work to
develop the resources and capabilities
OF their own lands. The states and
the mobiles supported the work. Scien-
fists labored and managers experiment
ed. Forest schools were established
to spread through the land the knowl-
edge that had been gained. Finally
they piled up mass of exact infOrma-
ton about trees and everything re-
lated to their life,and established a sys-
tenn OF forest management that is one
OF the finest monuments of the thor
oughness. the conservatism and the pa
thence of the German race. And to-
day the forest stands as one of the
prime objects of the peoples regard, a
source of health. wealth and national
independence.

Mime. d'Alma's UNPLEASANT Adventure.

Nine. Alma Il Alma, an American
prima donna who has recently been
singing with great success in Italy and
at Monte Carlo, has just met with an
unpleasant adventure. During holt
day trip to Morocco she took it into
her head to disguise herself as man,
in order to penetrate into a particular
ly sacred mosque. She was almost i'm
mediately discovered and came near
being killed. Fortunately she was res
cued by the police in time and sent to
prison. There she remained ten days,
until the sultan, at he demand of the
American consul, liberated her.
