PARIS THE WORLDS MODEL
Wide Avenues Add to Attraetiveness
Of French capftaI-other Cities
= Far Behind.

Its spacious streets make Paris the
most attractive and in many respects
the most convenient capital in the
world. Narrow streets and insanitary
areas have been swept away, large
portion of the city has been entirely
rebuilt. and its expansion has proceed
ed In an orderly manner in accordance
with a definite plan, modified from
time to time. but not altered material.
ly. Paris has now 102 miles of streets
30 feet six inches or more in width.
London has not more than 8h, and
few of the streets are more than 100
feet wide. whereas some OF the ave-
nues In Paris are more than 200 feet
wide, and the width of one is as much
as $50 feet.
Among world cities that have fol-
lowed definite plan of development
and expansion Berlin must receive es-
pecial mention. The broad bouleyards
and avenues of its suburbs, Chariot
tenburg and Schoenburg, are charac-
teristic of districts surrounding the
central area Of the German capital A
noticeable feature in the plans of both
Berlin and Paris is the provision Of
spacious traffic centers, from which
the more important streets radiate in
many directions. This principle has
been developed in London only to a
very limited extent.
II Is true that London has done
much during the last half-century, first
through the metropolitan board Of
works and later through the London
county council, In the way OF street
Improvement. but the works that have
30 far been undertaken have been crit
icized by high British authority as
scattered and fragmentary. forming
no part of complete scheme, and de-
signed independently. without refer
ence to a general plan"
When we come to our American
cities. such as New York and Chicago,
we find that. like London. their
growth and development have suffered
from similar absence Of plan and
centralized effort.

Telling the rims in Eaxns.

The working OF the oriental mind

which Prof. Turner told the Math-

had been spending the Christmas Va.
cation In Egypt to supervise the erec-
ton Of a telescope at Helouan. Capt.
Lyons. who was In charge Of the in
strument said that he had found that
at noon every day a gun was fired and
was anxious to know how the system
worked.
Accordingly he interviewed the
gunner and asked how he knew when
to give the signal. "Oh. look at my
watch" said the official. And how
do you correct your watch?" asked
the captain. II take It to the maker
in Cairo and he tells me the error. ''
Forthwith Capt. Lyons interviewed
the matchmaker and asked him how
he checked the error OF the watch II
get the correct time from the gun. "
said that simple craftsman. And thus
time was told in Egypt.
