shrinking the Nation.

A curious little game of figures and
time tables has been played recently
by French statisticians of the depart
ment of public works to show how
France has been shrinking, in. effect,
year by year since 1914. The conclu-
sion Is that under present facilities OF
travel the France of today, as against
that OF almost a century ago, is or
Seine-and-Ois the department in
Guiding Paris and measuring perhaps
sixty-five miles by forty.
AS applied to France. this Is COM
minutes, and miles. With the United
states as the territorial subject or the
play, one may be dazed by the variety
and amazing character of the results.
for comparisons as to those ante-rail-
road days when it took more time to
cross half the continent than a mod
ern traveller devotes to a personally
conducted tour of the Old World.
In 1857 Buffalo was fifteen hours
from New York. Chicago is now but
eighteen hours away. where fifty years
ago it was thirty-five. The Twentieth
about eight hours. So in half a CEN
fury the Empire state has lost half Its
size almost, and the hustling Cook
county metropolis has been drawn
very close to the 1857 borders of this
commonwealth That is one way of
playing this fgurative game of
shrinkage. $50
New Orleans in 1886 was twelve
days and half from New York, If one
travelled north, or thirteen days eight
hours if one travelled south. 1t is now
but thirty-two hours away. Within
the time of the old trip one may come,
from the Crescent City to Manhattan,
sail to England in the Lusitania, and
have several fine days in London.
Not SO many years ago San Fran
cisco was a solid week from New
York. Today it is ninety-six hours
away, and the railroads propose to cut
thirty hours from that distance. At
fifty miles an hour this contemplated
further shrinkage would represent
1900 miles, which would bring the
Golden Gate a little south Of the pres
emit location of Des Moines. 1t may
well alarm Mr.. Bryan to think how
closely and permanently this would
bring his beloved Lincoln, Neb., into
touch with "the enemy's country
