In fact, as Mr.. Edison observes, the far-famed Boulevards and Place
de p0pera are "dull as twilight compared with Manhattan's Great
White Way" As a world metropolis Of pleasure, he believes, our
city will soon eclipse Paris. The tide Of amusement seekers will
Get this way, attracted by the twentieth century novelties in which
our get-rich-quick civilization revels.
This is plausible, and no doubt authoritative. At the same
time it might be premature for us to grow "chesty" over the COM
parDon. 1t will be some years yet before the prosperous American
travelling abroad for enlightenment, or ever for pleasure, in any
refined sense of the word, can afford to cut out Paris from his tin
ersry.
Paris was dubbed ia Vile Lnmiere," meaning City Of Light,
before electrical illumination was invented. Artistic, intellectual
and "spirtneTle" brilhancy attracted the moth to the flame, and still
continues to do so. without the aid Of sky signs and tal%king-moving
phures.
The comparison is illustrated, in n homcly way, by another apt
remark Of Mr.. Edions. He saws the Parisians re "wiser about their
bread than we are, because they do not, Is we do, sacrifice the nu-
trihve quality of the staff of life to make it dazzhngly white in ap-
psaraAce."

TOULON, Feb. 4-(special to The Bee)
BY striking work and making a vigorous
demonstration at the town hall OF Toulon,
the pupils OF the chief technical school
there have persuaded the local authority
to provide them with fires during the bit
terly cold weather.
First OF all the three hundred pupils used
more constitutional methods OF protest at
being made to SILVER at their lessons.
They appealed to the head master and 10
the mayor of Toulon. as the school is a
municipal institution. They were told that
the question OF heating the class rooms
Of the Ecole Rouviere had been forgotten
in the municipal budget, and there was no
credit for II.
At this the pupils resolved on energetic
action. A committee was formed which in
vited all the school boys In the
town not to resume work until satisfaction
had been given them. At o'clock on
Monday morning over 800 strikers met out
side the Ecole Rouviere shouting. I'VE

for the occasion. They hooted the boys who
dlsobeyed the strike order and entered the
school building.
