From Scientific American.
A French newspaper reports in an
amusing way an amateur test Of the time
required to get. a telephone connection In
Paris. The test was definite and regis
tered one and was suggested by the re-
cent official test in New York city, CIV
ing six seconds as the average time.
With the official timekeeper of the Aero
Club, holding a chronometer. eighteen
calls were put in to the four corners OF
Paris between and pm, thus not In

painter and a pastry cook. The result
was an average Of one minute and
twenty and four-ffth seconds-thirteen
times longer than in New York: How
ever. the director Of the Paris teie-
phones stated that official tests showed
an average of only twelve seconds, and
added that this time-twice as long as In
New York-was due to the fact that the
Paris telephone operators are on the
average older than the young women en-
ployed In New York. and that most OF
the Paris operators are married women.

with which 1t was tied.
Some of the fibers of Irvine made of
jute or sisal become loose and detached
from the parent body during shipment
and work their way into the wool. The
manufacturers find it impossible to get
these odd fibers out Of the wool in the
securing process, and the result is that
they go through the carding or combing
machines, are spun into yarn or thread,
get into the material for ones clothes
and not until that point is reached begin
to work their way out of the cloth. II
they are plainly visible on the surface of
the cloth, of course, they can be removed
at once, but sometimes they are SO deeply
imbedded in the fabric that it takes
long time for them to come to the sur
face. Then it looks as il the spinner had
expanded his supply of wool by using
hemp.
For this reason Irvine made of paper is
being manufactured for wool growers to
tie up their product. This twine is just
as strong as the old kinds, has q perfect
ly smooth surface, thus Offering no OPP
portunity for loose bits to break off and
become Embedded In the wool; is light IN
weight and is cheaper in addition than
the old kinds of Irvine for fleece. Not
only will one pound OF this paper Irvine.
1t is claimed, tie up fifty pieces where one
pound of either the jute or sisal ties up
but twenty, but the wool growers can
save the discounts which the wool buyers
often exacted because of such foreign
substances in the fleece.

PARIS, May 18-If the Paris police
have been unable to trace the clio
cOnda" they have at least laid hands
on man named Rene Ferrand. who
seems to know where 1T is. He says
that she has taken trip for her health
across the seas. and is now in the
United States. More than this he does
not wish to say, and, in fact, he re-
grets that he did say that much. Fer
rand is particular virtuoso in church
and museum thefts. He has been max
ing his living out of it for the last
ten years, and is quite astonished to
be told that 1T is an ilIegitimate pro-
fession. He had a free entry by night
to all museums and churches in France
How he worked 1t is a secret Of his
own, but once inside the churches and
museums he took away whatever OBJ
jects of art pleased him, and even If
they were worth a thousand pounds he
did not hesitate to sell them for ten
or twenty to the nearest antiquary.
This man is alleged to have raided
numerous churches in France, Belgium
Germany and Holland. Only a few of
his exploits are the carrying off of
Gothic group from a church at Gem
enich. near verviers. and two fine
tapestries from the Cathedral Of Kan
ten, in Germany, worth $4,000, for
which an antiquary gave him 5000
Ferrand also left traces of his pres
ence at Stavelot, Cambria, Rheims and
NeverS.
He was accompanied latterly by a
young woman known as La Belle Ger
maine, and both passed as M. and Nine
Letellier. The Belle Germaine' now re-
grets ever having Joined him. as she has
also been arrested, and laments the days
when she was a happy dress model in

Ferrand. They took handsome fiat in
the vicinity of Buttes Chaumont, and
for while all seemed to go well. Fer
rand constantly brought home beautiful
works of art and quaint old images.
When she asked about them he smiled
and said 1t was no business of hers. and
that they were for the dealers. Both
were arrested after they had attempted to
escape to another fiat in Vincennes. Ferrand
had two immense crates full of works of
art. One of these crates has been found
by the police. but the other is missing.

It is true of any car, of course, that the in
side-not the outside-establishes its
value.
But this is particularly true of the Hup
mobile. 1t is especially true because the
moment you begin to inspect the chassis
you find workmanship uncommon at the
price.
If you are not expert in engineering it will
pay you to have us indicate the fine points
of Hupmobile practice.
Learn what long-stroke actually means
how much it intensifes the pulling power.
See how faithfully Mr.. Nelson has followed
the finest foreign practice in the ratio OF
bore to stroke.
If YOU drive the car and see it's pulling

or mud that would stall motor of ordi-
