He was quite wrong in his judgment, for underneath the crust of Paris you will find solid substantial foundation. It is fact, however, that travellers from the four quarters of the globe come here to get the froth, and Paris, know ing their wants in advance, has it ready to serve and for sale. The hotels, res tauarnts, and eating places outnumber Switzerland's, I really believe; how they exist is mystery. Many of the res- taurants specialize in dishes. party of St. Louisians had dinner a few nights since at place where duck is the princi- pal dish on the menu. Business is rush. ing there, and you must order a table in advance. The duck Is brought on In a semi-roasted condition and shown for your approval. Of course, you approve,

Then the prince Of gourmets, Frederick himself (who keeps a record of the number of ducks he has served; ours numbered 33,17S), puts on the finishing touches. The parts are recoolSed in this gravy, in a chafing dish, before your eyes and served hot with puff ball potatoes. The legs also are roasted again and come on with the salad as another course.

AN INVITATION ITO MURDER

From LippincOtts.
 It was at a ball game between Chi cago and Pittsburg. The score was tied, two men were out, runner was on third and Hans Wagner was at bat. The crowd was too excited to be noisy.
 sporting editor had taken his neighbor to the game. The neighbor was not fan but he had succumbed to the delights of travelling on q pass,y and was having a real, garrulous good time.
 At the moment when there wasn't a heart beating on the bleachers and the grandstanders were nauseated with suspense the sporting editors neighbor emitted this:
 Look, Jake. Look at that coke train Did you ever see one engine pulling as many cars? I'm gonna coui 'em.''

NEW CONTINENT FORMING

London Special to the New York Sun
 A the British association, sitting
 "A dents of the annual meeting of \ the British association, stlling at sheffisld is the report of the commit tee on earthquake investigations. The committee has completed down to 1900 a catalogue of all the destructive earth quakes recorded in history. They date from A D 1 and they number more than 4CO0 The record refers only to earth quakes which have been accompanied by destruction or by changes of the earth's surface or which have extended over large areas In many instances these disturbances have resulted In adjust nents in the earth's crust of geological
 importance. The sources from which materials have been drawn include Japa- nese and Chinese catalogues.
 The report says that although the Japan were separated by irregular inter vals of time the years in which there lad been marked activity in one of these countries closely corresponded with the years when there had been marked ac- tivity in the other. Should further an- alyses confirm this conclusion, the sug- gestion is that the relief of seismic strain in one part of the world brings about relief in some other part or that relief Is governed by some general internal or external agency.
 The most startling thing in the report is the suggestion that at the present time a new continent Is in the making. It is pointed out that the most pro- nounced seat of earthquake activity to- day is along band running from the southern extremity of the Philippine Isl ands and Java in an east-southeast direc- tion toward the middle of the Pacific. In the islands which stud this area with their intervening troughs are seen the outcrops of mountain ranges of Hima-

NEW CUBAN WHITE HOUSE

From the PittSburg Dlspatch.
 The president of Cuba has appointed a board of government officers to consider plans for constructing the new presi- dential palace provided for under the recent appropriation of $5ooJ55 from the lottery surplus. It is expected that the building, if constructed. will cost much more than the sum named, and 1t Is stated that this is simply the prelimi- nary appropriations The board will meet soon to invite the submission of plans but 1t is probable that the competition will be limited to Cuban architects and that as far as possible Cuban materials will be specified for the building. The site probably will be that of the Villa nueva railroad station, now exchanged for the arsenal property.

Laying In Good Stocks


 All the merchants with whom l do business are very optimistic over the fall trade outlook" said Harry Bevans, a well-known travelman man, who former ly lived in Birmingham. ''They have been laying in a large and assorted stock of fall goods and this unquetsionably leads to the conclusion that they think busi- ness is to be good. The farmers in the country and the small merchants are the ores that are between the bumper when 1t comes to a fuctuation of business. Consequently they have come to be rec ognized as keen, long-sighted men. So when I see them laying in fine stock of fall goods and preparing in other ways 10 have a fine holiday trade, I feel as- sured that business is better.
 "Personaliy, I have been selling very good orders and have no complaint what ever to make.''

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Discussion of ProyIncinIism

Many northern people are in the habit of speaking of the south as provincial but such characterization, when intended to be disparaging of this section. Is far from conveying the truth said man of the world.
 'I read in The Age-Herald recently 2 short interview with MT. William r. Redd, in which that gentleman gave the substance of what he told group ot northerners whom he met at Chautau- qua, when certain of them referred to southerners as being provincial. MT. Redd found several of his friends densely ignorant of even the geography of the south, and in standing up for his sec tion reminded those gentlemen that 1T familiarity with the ways of the world and a broad knowledge of national poll tics and other matters of absorbing lh- terest were tests as to whether the southern people were provincial or not, then the south was In a marked degree less provincial than the north He pointed out that while northern newspapers printed little about the south outside ot lynchings. one could read in Birming- hams morning daily full accounts Of all the important things that had happened the day before in various parts of the world. I do not recall MT. Redd's lan- guage, but I think have given his ideas and the upshot of what he said I wish to endorse fully his reply to those north ern gentlemen at Chautauqua.
 Now, there are several definitions or provincial but in the sense in which it is here referred to it is pretty well un- derstood by the public north and south. Among the definitions given in the dic- tionaries are: countrified,' narrow, not cosmopolitan In the backwoods of the south, just as in the backwoods or the north, people are, in the very nature of things, 'countrified.' Tn this part Of the country they are jocularly called 'moss-backs, 'hayseeds' and 'hill-billies But take the list of southern cities, from Richmond to Galvestion, and not one of them, I think 1t safe to say, Is provin- cial.
 T can speak for Memphis. Nashville, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans, Dal- las and 11OQSlO0. MOSl Ol iiioSV SitlNo are as cosmopolitan as cities of similar size north of the Mason and Dixon line In none of them do well-bred folks eat pie with a knife or compressed ice cream with a spoon. As for fashion in dress, the southern women are noted for their elegant taste, and especially for their up-to-date hats and gowns. And when it comes to general culture the southern people will certainly hold their own with the people of any cosmopolitan center any where.
 Birmingham is strikingly cosmopoli- tan and in the few years of my resi- dence here have found it to be singu- larly advanced in everything that has an intellectual side to it. Those who make the mistake of calling the south provin- cial would do well to travel more and sharpen their wits for keener observa- tion."

 One of the accomplishments of committee on behalf of the associa in the last year has been the installa of improved Instruments for earthqtI recording upon islands and in other wi ly distributed locations in all parts the world.

Back From Panama

After spending some time in Panama studying conditions and trying to get In line for the vast development that will take place In the southern ports when the canal is completed, F. O. Fowlkes of Mobile, a brother of Frank B. Fowlkes. was in Birmingham yesterday.
 Mobile, which is the natural gateway to the Panama canal, will be immeasura- bly benefited by the opeining,' said MT. Fowlkes. T remained in Panam some time studying conditions and I tell you the vastness of the work cannot be given in mere words. The countries of South America will do nothing if they do not enrich the entire southland. We will be enabled to put iron, coal rails, steel and all our natural products there great deal cheaper than any other state and in this way receive the massive wealth of that country. The city of Mobile will be the direct route for the great tonnages to
 be sent to Panama and will be brought in closer touch with the city of Birmingham. We are very anxious for this great com mercial achievement to be finally com pleted.
 Birmingham will always be found growing for you have great number of | fine citizens here who are always ready and willing to serve the town. That is
 one of the greatest assets of any city
 Progressive, live. wide-awake citizens are of greater value than any other civic as- set Next to Mobile I believe Birming- ham is the greatest city in the country I believe Birmingham will keep on grow | ing until she Is the largest and best town | in the entire southeast
