to be powerful, she wishes at the same
time to place her power towards the
development of peace and civilization

In closing, the premier proposed a
toast to the solid friendship between

A curious wireless telegraphy phe-
nolnenon has been discovered at the
railroad station of Clichy-Levallois,
near the gates of Paris. Electricians
who touched the wires of a large col
lection OF telegraph conduits which had
not been connected with any system re-
ceived severe electrical shocks. An in
vestlgation by the state railway engi-
neers revealed that the shocks were due
10 Hertzlan waves sent out from the
powerful wireless station at the top of
Eifel Tower. A receiving station was
established by way of a test and a tele-
graph sapper was able to intercept
wireless messages despatched from the
Elnel Tower and other stations.
BY pure chance the collection OF tele-
graph wires at Clichy-Levallois railway
station fills all the necessary conditions
OF he1ght, distance and position to re-
ceive the Eciffel Tower communications.
The incident has caused great interest
In scientific circles, as a wireless post
especially erected on the top Of q
school house in Paris has never been
able to Intercept messages from the
tower.
A good idea Of the great expense in
the naturalization of railroads. so TAR
as 1t has proceeded in France, is OBJ
tainable from an official report just dis
trtbuted In the Chamber of Deputies.
According to this estimate the deficit
on the state-owned Western railroad
for the current year is over SIG, 900, 900.
N. Henri Cheron, the author of the
report, attributes this deficit to the cost
Of maintaining h line. the Increase in
the humble of employees and the aug.
mentation OF wages. The report points
out, however, that the service. hitherto
d~eplorable. has been incontestably Inn
proved. Before the Western railroad
was taken over by the state. the deficit
amounted to about $4,000, 900. Since
the naturalization Of the line in 1911.
French government has expended
in improvements about SAT. 900. 900.

had to confess that its limited funds

Since Professor Metchnikoff has been
writing on the value Of carrots for xen-
eral health that homeiy vegetable has
found q regular place on the menu Of
home and restaurant In Parts. It has
remembered that carrots form part
OF tho daily food at vichy, and the
chefs at the big hotels are ~inventing
recipes to satisfy the taste OF the ino-
Greasy soup. as everybody knows. is

and at h fashionable gatherings in the

day evenings there Is scarcely a table
where this soup Is not served.
Carrots. according to Professor
AtetchntkOf, contain a sugar that kills
bacillus that prevents our attaining

possess. according to tradition, the
property OF comforting a fine complex
