PARIS, Dec. 13.--lt's a wonderfully
scientific arrangement by which Paris
keeps its part OF the world on time.
First. there's the basement room in
the great observatory, with its vast
concrete floor that never vibrates.
Then there are the two mechanically
sun and the stars. at which the great
telescopes in the observatory domes
are always pointing
Then there are the wires that lead
to the wireless poles in the obserya-
tory grounds. And, two miles away
there stands the Eiffel tower. 1000
feet high, the tallest structure on the
star on which We live. Hugh por-
celain insulators, as big around as a
small 'keg, hang out from the tip top
OF the tower. supporting the wires OF
the most powerful wireless station in
the world.
All this apparatus has cost over a
million dollars. and the study and toll
OF many savants and scientists.
It's purpose is TO send out TO all the
wireless stations that can catch the
message the clock ticks OF the 9th,
5Sth, and seth seconds of every hour.
over half the world is supplied with
time correction from Paris.
Here's the apparatus
Now, who does the job?
Oh, only Nine. Chandon.
And she? She is as pretty and VI
vacious a little French woman as all
France affords She's perhaps just a
little over half way through the TWEEN
ties She likes theaters and music,
and the science OF astronomy.
Yes, she said when | went down
among her clocks, Il do love the stars.

FORAKER TELLS
ABOUT LETTERS
His Defense Is, Mostly, Hearst
Paid $4,000 for Them
IN He Hears

WASHINGTON, Dec 1S.-Former
Senator Joseph b. Foraker. OF Ohio,
closed his defense OF any wrong doing
in connection with his returns with
the Standard oil company today, by
statement which alleged that William
r. Hearst, the New York publisher,
paid $4,000 for the Archbold letters
which he published. Foraker declared
he knew nothing as TO the accuracy
OF the statement which was secured
by one of his private agents from
Willie WINFIELD. OF Chicago and pur.
ported TO be Winkfeld's version OF
how the letters were secured.
The ex-senator vigorously denied
ever being In any sense lobbyist tor
Standard Oil, and insisted that there
was nothing unethical in his acting
as counsel for the oil trust at one
period In his career.
Foraker branded as "preposterous"
Hearst's statements yesterday that
he knew nothing as TO how the letters
were obtained.
The ex-senator prefaced his examln
alton by the vigorous declaration that
he had never made a false statement
in regard to the Standard Oil letters.
Then he took up the Archbold let
tiers in detail, explaining them with
documents and long statements as 10
legislative situations. He said there
was nothing whatever to show" that
he ever did anything 10 kill Ohio
legislative bills, responding to
Hearst's Interpretation of certain let
tiers.
The ex-senator then read letters
from the authors OF various bills III
the Ohio legislature, absolving him
from any share In their defeat
