PARIS A CITY Of DIRT

Foreign correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS. June 30. 1911.
For years past the newspapers of Paris,
rejecting undoubtedly the weight Of pub
lie opinion. have never ceased attacking
the project OF the Seine and the Paris
municipality in all it's branches and de-
partments. whose names are legion, for
the disgraceful condition of the streets of
the capital Of art. science and beauty
Paris. which sets the fashion to the
rest Of the world In taste In all that goes
to make life pleasant and beautiful, is a
standing example in her public thorough
fares OF everything that is offensive to
eye, nose and ear.
Flysheets a Nuisance.
The first and most crying nuisance is
the everlasting distribution Of fysheets,
which begins at early morn and lasts till
evening. Not one in hundred Of the
passers-by ever keep the rags of paper
they snatch from the distributors. but
after casting an eye over them throw
them on the pavement. No statistics
have ever been compiled OF the number
OF these proSpectuSes and advertisements
daily issued, but 1t is no exaggeration to
say that they really paper the boulevards
by II o'clock with disgusting and rag
ged surface Of multi-colored refuse.
1t Is perhaps not generally known that
the men who are engaged in disseminat-
ing them are paid not by the hour. but
by the hundreds or thousands they can
get rid of. and 1t naturally follows that,
besides Fostering the public in an insult
ferable manner they seize every chance
Of surreptitiousIy letting as many of
them as possible escape unperceived into
the gutter.
Holes Like Buckets.
But perhaps the greatest cause of COM
plant lies In the state Of the streets
themselves. It is no uncommon thing to
find holes as deep as bucket. Woe be-
tide the unhappy motorist who leaves the
few well-paved main thoroughfares. He
is bumped and shaken and travels in gen.
eral discomfort.
The reason for this appears to be the
lack Of proper precautions. In London
the streets are washed down once In
twenty-four hours. In Paris they never
seem to undergo this necessary process.
In consequence the dirt and filth which
are allowed to remain have a rotting eff
feet on the wood pavement, with disas-
trous results.

Nine years later. in 1885. Alexander
Graham Bell and C. 8. fainter patented
the graphophone.
On Same Principle Both the phono-
as Photograph. srapbophone re-
produce sound upon the same principle.
In each case sound waves are allowed
to strike. delicately held diaphragm.
which vibrates under the impact of the
sound waves. A needle attached to this
diaphragm was made to leave a record
on a soft cylinder, and this record was
in turn used to reproduce the recorded
sound. The essential difference between
the photograph and the graphophone is
that the Edison machine indents a record
on the cylinder with an up and down
movement of the needle, while the Bell
and fainter machine cuts an up and
down line. In both Of these machines
the sound lines on the record, whether
indented or cut, are Of varying depths.
In reproducing sound the needle is push
ed up over the shallow places in the
sound line by the pressure Of the record.
and is pushed down into the deep places
by the pressure Of the diaphragm.
The gramophone was invented by
Emile Berliner in 1887, and is, therefore,
the youngest of the talking machine
family. In England the word "gramo-
phone is generally used for all kinds Of
talking machines, but in this country it
is little used, because the Berliner patent
has been advertised and sold under a
trade name, the scientific name being
almost entirely ignored. The gramophone
is that machine made famous by the
picture Of the dog listening to This
masters voice"
The Berliner gramophone is operated
upon a distinctly individual principle.
Instead of a sound line being cut up and
down in the record, as in the case of the
photograph and the graphophone. the
needle Of the recording Berliner machine
moves in spiral groove of uniform
depth around disc. and cuts the sound
record in the side Of this groove, so that

is played upon the individual machine
is simple. The original record. made in

is reinforced with several heavier coats

The soft material is taken ont of the

FINE REVIVAL

Century, Sept. Sunday, the 9th
day Of August, 1911. the revival began

ton Of Rev. w. B. McCrary to the
ministry, Rev. Walter NJ. hurry, pas
tor of the Baptist church at Brewton,
Ala, and Rev. Wiley NJ. Martin Of
Laurel Hill, and the deacons Of the
Century church, constituting the pres
oytry, and Rev. Walter NJ. hurry, who
preached the ordination sermon, and
left on the 1 o'clock train, Rev. NIF
Martin began the preaching at night
and continued until Sunday night the
third day Of September, 1911, preach
ing twice each day and the congrega-
ton grew from day to day.
All have been working for a long
time for a revival in the church here
and every christian in town, and those
who have made no profession Of re-
ligion, are all rejoicing over the re-
suits Of the meeting. There was as
much unity among the people as evel
was known here. Rev. Mr.. Martin
seemed to have gotten hold Of the
