below. AS a rule the strongholds are
located so that two of them, and
sometimes three Of them, may pour a
whitening cross-fire into any enemy
which gets in range. In case Of siege
the gaps in the line will be stopped
by the secondary defenders in bomb
proof shelters and trenches in suffi-
Gent force, it is thought, to check
an army.
To get into the city the invaders
have to pass three concentric rings of
fortresses. Of these, the first line, rs
miles in very rough circle and about
IL miles from the center of the city,
is made up of 10 strongholds Of con-
crete and steel
Five miles to the rear and filing the;
gaps of the first row are II turreted,
citadels on a ring about "a miles in,
circumference. These are the forts.
which bore the brunt of the attack in
1871, but all of them have been mod

by heavy ramparts for the shelter Of
supporting infantry.
Paris is out of range of guns bonn
harding the two outer lines, but the
third line is weak. That is the old.
wall of Paris 81 miles in perimeter,
and, although strengthened by a a.

off cavalry raids and small scouting
parties. 1t is said that about 400.
square miles is under the protection
of the city's guns, but it is possible
that the area is nearer 500 miles.

He represented East Birmingham IN Par
Lament for fifteen years.
From youth he was a great traveller.
and his difficulty in purchasing scenes Of

him into a photographer himself. As

interested others in this work, and the
immense stores Of photographs in the
British Museum are a direct result
In the course Of the sitting OF the first
Parliament. of which he was a member,
he took q picture OF every member and
Of oficials and journalists as well. He
got a complete series of photographs Of
some special work every year. The first
year he did all features of Westminster

NEW YORK STATE HAS
EXPENSIVE MURDERESS
No Accommodations in Sing Sing for
Her. She Lives in Colonial
Stone Mansion.

New York, July 3.-Thls city Is al
present entertaining a woman who is
probably the most expensive murderess,
50 far as the cost Of her support Is con-
ccrned, which the State has known for
many years.
In spite OF the fact that she. has been
convicted OF killing a faithless sweet
heart this woman Is inhabiting a hand
some old Colonial stone mansion built
nearly a century ago. which stands on
the hill just back Of Sing Sing prison.
She is attended by two matrons one cook
three guards and a gardener.
For this the State Is put to an ex-
pense OF 500 a month. The reason for
this strange state of affairs Is that there
are no provisions at Sing Sing for the
accommodation of such women prisoners.
So this woman at present with her ret
inue OF servants and guards Is occupying
a fourteen room house which has been
silently overlooking the Hudson for three
quarters Of q century.
Apparently her surroundings appeal to
her for IN spite OF the fact that she Is
the first woman to be sentenced to death
in this State In over sixteen years, she is
busily studying the English language and
has taken up needlework as well.
Just how long the State will be put to
the expense Of this rather remarkable
entertainment remains to be seen, as the
case in qustion has been appealed. What
ever the outcome OF the appeal Il seems
evident that the $500 o-a-month guest Will
occupy her mansion for some time to
come.

Two effective ways OF estab-

washington-The maximum amount
North Carolina can receive under the
smith-Lever Cooperative Agricultural
Extension act for the fiscal year 1911
IL is $4,000; for 1856, $32,s53;
1867. $52,Os1.. For 1918, 1888,
1890. 192O-21 and 1929 and each
wear the amount of $19,127 to the to-
tai for the Immediately preceding
year. For 1929 and thereafter
$166,846 will be provided.
The act provides that each state
must duplicate all Federal money
above $4,000 a year.
In explaining the appropriation the
department of agr1cultures avs:
The act first appropriates $480,0OO
annually, beginning with 1914-l5, ana
gives each state 10000 for each fiscal
year as basic fund.
The act then appropriates addition
al Federal moneys to be distributed in
the proportion of rural population. To
share in these additional fnuds the
state must Duplicate the additional
money thus received. The additional
appropriations are as follows: 1915
is, 100000; 1867, $1,10O,0OO;
1918, s1,6OO,OOO; 191s-19, $780,
600; 1890, s2,OOO,ooO; 192o-21-, So
LOG, 600; 1922, $3,6OO,0O0; 1928,
and thereafter, $4,10O,OO0.
1t will be noticed that after 1855
the total appropriation is increased
each year by 100000. The fifth
column in the table shows the amount
of each additional 100000 that the
state is entitled to receive. To get
the amount that any state is entitled
to receive for any fiscal year from
1917 to 1922 add the amount given in
the table to the total for the immedi-
ate preceding year. Example: Ala
bama, in 1918 will receive $49, 4O4
plus 1881 equals $67,315; for 1913
10 Alabama will receive $67,315 plus
1881 equals 1926; and so on until
the maximum given under the column
1929 is reached.
The totals for each state contain
the basic $4,000 granted each year.
To obtain the amount that the state
would have to duplicate in any year
to receive it's entire Federal quota,
ST ract $4,000 from the total. Ex-
ample: The amount Alabama would
have to duplicate in 1918 is $67,-
315 minus $4,000, or $57,315.
