There is an underground srailway in
Paris. called the Metropolitan, whose
name has been. shorted into Metro
This road is only partly built and eN-
tends through the business section of
the city from the Arc de Trionphe to
the Bois de Vincennes.. The. road is a
hot stuffy. tunnel~through which the
trains run at speed which would suit
even the most hurried Americans. On
this Inc the cars are divided into first,
second and third classes. The fares are
s, and cents, according to class.
The Metro does not run altogether un-
derground. 1t crosses the Seine on "a
bridge When. the Metro is completed
il will revolutioniZe the transportation
difficulties of Paris. which will be
boon, for 1.-The people of the French
capital suffer much from inconvenient
tranSporta ton facIllties- 1t being prac-
tically Impossible TO obtain a seat in
either street car or bus during the
rush hours But cabs are cheap in
Paris. There used to be a uniform fare
OF so cents, with a scent tip for the
driver, TO go anywhere in the city but
this is. not so now. Last summer the
French adopted the German method of
paying by distance The price lis al
most the same as formerly, but the
hardships of tie driver are lessened,
for often Paris cab driver had to
take his fare miles for. the sum of So
cents. When you consider that the
Paris cab driver does not even own his
horse, but. pays a rental of SO per day,
it is easy to figure how many drives
he must make during the twenty-four
hours to pay the owner ofsthe cab
Sometimes the driver does not care to
take his fare. lie has been known to
refuse point blank to accept when the
distance is great The law of the
Paris authorities provides that he must
take any passenger that offers IL the
driver is on one of the public stands that
are numerous throughout the city. So
when you want a cab in Paris all you
have to do is to go to one OF these
stands, get into cab, tell the driver
where you want to go, and go he must.

In Paris all passengers have num-

Omnibuses and vehicles in Paris are
like those OF London inytRat they are
built TO accommodate people inside and
on top. There is a sign posted in a
conspicuous Aplaee telling just how
many pa ssengcrs can be taken: .fTwep-
ty-four outside, sixteen inside and two
on the platform. This rule is also
enforced on the street cars, which are
divided into first and second class, the
first having upholstered seats, the sec
ond bare benches. Travel by SECOND
class is preferred by most people be-
cause it is. generally much pleasanter
than being cooped UP inside stuffy

the conceded fact OF French national
politeness, the French conductors are
anything but police or careful of their

fashion up the winding steps to the
TOP OF the numbering bus, and inva-

EIGHT PLANTATIONS IN SEVEN
STATES FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT.
PROTECTION AND TIMBER
Experiments Being Made in Widely
Separated Sections to Determine
the Possibility of Growing Woods
Information Gladly Given to all
Who Would Know.

Washington, d. c. May 16.-Seven
different states now have eight forest
experiment stations, established dur.
ing the past year, for cooperation be.
tween the forest service and state for.
est commissions and agricultural col.
leges. These stations are designed to
meet the growing demand for detailed
information on the propagation of for
| est trees In various regions.
AS u result of regional studies and
special Investigations, the Forest ser.
vice Is already in possession Of very
complete data on tree growing for
protection ana timber supply and this
information Is gladly supplied upon
| request. There are many questions,
however, regarding new species, nur.
sery methods, mixtures, spacing and
cultivation which can not be satisfac
torily settled by studies Of existing
plantations These matters will be
investigated by n long series of sys
tematiC experiments now under way
at the new stations.
Arrangements have been made for
experimental forest planting in CO.
operation with tho New York state
Forest, Fish and Game commission
at Saranac Inn in the Adirondacks;
with the Michigan Forestry commits.
sion, at Roscommon with the uni.
yorsity Of Michigan, at Ann Arbor;
with Berea college, Kentucky; with
the state Agricultural colleges at
Ames, Iowa, Fargo, N. Oak, and
Agricultural college, Mississippi and
with the sub-station of the University
of Nebraska, at North Platte. The
work contemplated needs constant
expert supervision, and great care
has been exercised to limit the sta,
tons to regions where additional data
on forest planting are needed. Most
of tho stations are at institutions
where regular courses in forestry are
given, and the work Is directed by the
forester in charge.
The cooperating institutions in
most cases contribute the necessary
land, and share all expenses for ma.
torial and labor equally with the For.
est service. The service passes upon
all plans and directs tho general
operations. The results are the joint
property of the cooperating parties.
The outcome will be to determine
the regional adnptability of new spe-
cies and the influence of soil and To-
cation on the selection of species, and
to secure silyicultural data on
methods OF planting and cultivation.
AT Berea, KY particular attention
will be given to the propagation OF
hickory, wood few which no salts,
factory substitute is known and for
which the demand Is destined soon to
outstrip the supply On the plains and
pratrios the trees will be cried which
promise 10 be the most useful to the
farmer under the local conditions
Experimental blocks will be planted
annually, but many years viii un.
doubleday be required before cont
pletely satisfactory final results will
have been attained,
