The Paris show.

So little has been published on this side
of the Atlantic during the past three
months concerning the Paris Exposition
that most Americans viii be surprised to
learn that, financially and politically, at
least, the great fair vas 4 success. It was
formally closed Monday night in blaze
of illumination and general jubilation. The
attendance reached the stupendous total OF
fifty millions. forty millions of which rep
resented paid admissions On the iEpeF-
tant point of full return of the easl out
lay for the Exposition the financial ex-
hibit is not clear, though it is. evident that
the great enterprise cost its promoters
nothing and that the French Governments
share of the burden OF cest viii be will
ingly and ungrudgiRgly borne by the peo-
PIE.
Socially and politically the Exposition
apparently accomplished in large meas
ure the chief objects of its promoters.
From its inception it had been predicted
that if it were a financial failure, entail
ing heavy cost upon the French taxpayers,
the present Government would fail, and
in its descent a condition of superheated
political excitement bordering upon revo-
luton would be engeEdered- Obviously
this danger has been averted, with its
accompaniment of straining Frances n
ternationaI relations to the swapping
point. The British did all they could to
make The Exposition a failure by childish
Iy declining to attend in large numbers
The London press persistently minimized
its interest and Importance and in the Eu-
ropean news, which is sifted in London
before being laid before American read
ers, the Exposition was represented as
something very nearly fzzle. In despite
of this, however, the American attendance
was good.
One of the most surprising and signi-
feant features OF the great fair was that
it attracted TO Paris greater number of
Germans than of the people Of any other
foreign nation It is not impossible that
there will grow out of this friendly con-
tact OF peoples that have been hostile for
generations a better understanding that
eventually will result in relations that
may make for peace in Europe

EPIDEMIC Grimes.

It is commonplace of criminolOgy
that extraordinary crimes tend to excite
imitation. and their methods epidemic.
This is even true of the more ordinary
sorts. For example, the means adopted
by intending suicides to end their lives
are much Influenced by the fashion of
the day, set by some distinguished or no
torious seIf-murderer. So the majority
of suicides IN a given year are apt to be
by pistol, rope, drowning, carbolic acid,
or whatever may happen to be the favor

phenomena of criminal degeneracy could

been very satisfactory. not alone to the
patrons OF the service generally in the
Army and Navy and in civil life. If weight

credit for the second time in its life of
twenty-four months. The service has paid
for itself and the rsuls has been accom-
