FLOOD MUCH WORSE
EARLY THIS MORNING

PARIS, Jan. 2S.-Flood conditions
had become much worse at 2 o'clock
this morning, particularly in the south
and east sections.
In the old Latin quarter the situa
ton was critical.
The sidewalk of the Quai des
Grandes Augustine collapsed and fell
into the Orleans company's tunnel be-
meath, further extending the flood
through the ancient streets, partic-
ularly the Rue Jacob and around the
Institute of France.
Many sewers burst in the twelfth
reimbursement, one of the biggest in
Paris, the whole of which is now sub
merged and has been plunged into
darkness on account of the breaking
OF the gas mains.
The half-buried lie st. Louis, which
Is connected with the lie de la Cite by
means of the Ponte st. Louis, is likely
to be totally submerged within few
hours, as the water is now only a few
inches from the parapet.
Masons were hastily summoned at a
late hour and are working desperately
to erect a wall to save the historic
Hotel Lambert, erected in the seven
teenth century and now the residence
of Prince Czartorys1i, and the equally
famous Hotel Lauzan adjoining, pur-
chased by the city in 1900 to be used
as a museum of arts.
subways Flooded
1t also was built in the seventeenth
century.
At 2:30 this morning the water
forced its way up through the subway
workings in the Rue st. Lazare, which
IS inundated the whole of its length.
In several places the sidewalk fell
in The subway under the Place de
TOpera has collapsed and the sidewalk
in front of the New York Equitable
society's building has sunk in.
At midnight the water at the Pont
Royal was still rising, but only small
fraction of an inch an hour. 1t was
expected that the high mark would be
reached between and 10 o'clock this
morning, when it would be within a
few inches of the highest flood recorded
in 1915.
A gradual fall is looked for after
that unless there is change in the
temperature.
Reports from Marine and Yonno, up
the Seine say the water is lowering.
Bluejacl1ets have removed wrecllage
that had gathered at all the bridges,
removing in a measure the danger of
various villages being flooded as the
result of the damming.
At Alfortville pillaging reached such
proportions as to necessitate the send
ing out of extra patrols tonight with
explicit instructions to shoot at sight.
The king of Belgium has sent $1,000
to the flood victims through the Bel
giafi minister here.

often very poor stuff. The history of
papermaking in Europe from the time OF
its Introduction into Spain by the Moors
in the eleventh century shows that from
Its earliest use paper was deemed fit only
Tor passing documents, and that when It
was first used in bound books it was
thought necessary to bind alternate leaves
of parchment and paper. as paper was
deemed too brittle to stand the strain.
Public documents were not allowed to
be engrossed on SO fragile a material as
the earlier paper was found to be. and II
was not until the art advanced that the
new material superseded parchment. A
careful inspection of several hundred old
goddess in the royal library at Berlin
fails to reveal any lasting properties Of
the paper upon which they were written.
On the contrary. the leaves are in many
instances crumbling into brittle frag-
ments.- while the writing has become
illegible.
Nevertheless. it should be added that
the German paper has had the test Of
several centuries. while 1t Is certain that
some of the paper made today almost
drops to pieces IL one looks at 1t severely.
