It would have been the same if a child or man had been on the easter1y platform. Suggestions for some signalling apparatus wil probably be made as result Of the nishap.

PARIS PREPARATIONS
 FOR DEFENSE

WASHINGTON, Sept, 1.-The foru' lications of Paris and their ability toI resist a siege is receiving the close at tention of military observers, now that Paris is the announced objective point of the German forces, and the French ministry of war Is strengthen- ing the city's defenses to the utmost,
 The notifications consist of three distinct circles sweeping around the city. The first Is a solid wall of masonry, eighteen feet high, extend. ing for % miles around the old sec tons of Paris. The second is a syss tenn of IT detached forts arranged at intervals, two miles beyond the wall and making a circuit of the city S4 miles long. The third is an outer girdle of forts 75 miles long on the heights commanding the valley of the Seine.
 Each of these circles of masonry and steel Is a complete defense in It. self, the forts being linked together with redoubts, bastilion aud glacis which permit a cross fire against ap- proach from any direction.
 The magnitude of the system Is shown by it's area. which exceeds 400 square miles.
 The wall around Paris and the IT detached forts two miles beyond the wall were built by Louis Philippe. They sustained the German siege of 1S7O.71, and the outer forts have since been greatly strengthened. The third line of forts on the hills of St. Ger. mainea, Comedies and Villlers, are of modern construction, with the latest type of batteries and heavy guns.
 The inner wall about Paris sur rounds the best known and most i'm portant sections of the city, including the business sections,
 Famous Mount Valerlan.
 The second line of forts includes the famous fortress of Mount Valer' ian, which was the center of attack in the German siege of 1870. It Is strengthened by two groups of works -Hautess-Bruyeres and the Chatillon forts batteries. South of the city ia the row of forts at Ivry, Bictre, Mon trogue. Vanves and Issy. North and east of the city are three great forts around St. Denis. Two others, Fort Auberyllles and Fort Charenton com mand the approaches from the great wood of Bondy.
 The outer forts, which are of tho most modern type, have from twenty four to twenty-six heavy guns ant 500 to 1900 men each. In all. the three lines of defense require 170,000 meI to operate them, not counting troops assembled within the city. According to military experts, 1t would require force of 50O.OO0 men to invest these defenses.
 Paris withstood the last German siege for lS2 days. Since then tho entirely new and outer third line o defense has been erected and militar! experts say the Notifications as { whole are far more formidable thar those which resisted the former siege
