A Land of HoteIG

Those who know Switzerland best
VIII be least astonished at the figures
which n. A Danzat publishes In his
work on Switzerland. recently issued
In Paris. for since there Is a hotel on
nearly every hilltop and scores round
every one Of the larger lakes It Is more
than credible that there are 1000 hotels
In the twenty-five cantons. In the
Grisons, the most sparsely inhabited
canton, In which even the larger towns
rarely have a population Of more than
LOO, there are no less than 35S hotels
and boarding houses, while the canton
Of Berne, which includes such favorite
places as Interlaken. Thun and Grindel-
valid. has more than 400. There are
$4,000 beds IN the 1000 hotels, but
these are by no means SUFFICIENT during
the ''haute saison." when many q tired
tourist Is glad to get bed made up on
the billiard table.-Dundee Advertiser.

Aviator Cord and Wire.

The arrival Of the aeroplane has CIV
en- us a new industry, or rather a mod
ihcation Of an old One-namely, that
Of manufacturing aviator cord and
aviator wire. The Roeblings have de-
vised a special kind Of wire aviator
cord TO be used for stays on aero
planes The cord consists Of a num-
Der Of fine wires Of great strength
stranded together. The strength Of
the different sizes runs approximately
from 1000 to $500 pounds. For steer
ing gear a more flexible cord Is pro-
vided, composed Of six strands of sew
en- wires each. with a center Of either
cotton or wire. The aviator wire diff
fers from aviator cord In that It con-
sists Of a single wire instead Of a num-
Der Of wires twisted together. The
wire Is made In twelve sizes, with q
breaking strength that varies from
1000 pounds to 175.-Scientifc Ameri-

MAKES PARIS LAUGH.
a TIsIcSt War Between TIE Buses 80
Thoir Patrons.

Their Patrons-
The company that runs the omnf
buses IN Paris has recently put into
eject q system Of giving tickets 10
passengers when they pay their fares
And this has caused q howl from the
travelling public. It Is not that the
public objects to the tickets. What It
q annoyed about Is the too frequent
visits Of inspectors demanding to see
the tickets. Some persons are making
life a burden to the inspectors, delay
ing the buses and making all Paris
laugh. One Of them saves every hck-
ct he gets, and as he goes about the
city constantly he has q pocket full of
them. Every time he gets on q bus,
pays his fare and receives a ticket he
simply adds II to his collection When
the inspector enters and cries Tick
ets!" the man draws forth bis collec-
don and holds It out to the inspector.
A dialogue something like this fol-
lows: whats all this7" Tickets"

why do you hand them to meT' BE
cause you asked for them" II didn't
ask for all these. 1 want your ticket

'WhereY "In that bunch" But I
don't want this bunch. l want your
ticket" Then pick It out" That Is
not my business" Nor is It mine"
why do you keep all these ticketsr
Because it says on them, On no &C
count lose this ticket or throw It
away" But It Is Of no use after It
has once been used" 81 know nothing
about that. am simply doing what
your company tells. me-" We'll, I
haven't time to argue with you. Are
you going to hand me your ticketY'

guy generally ends in the inspector
