| upon the treasures which the Louvre
houses. In the hall of sculpture
stands the peerless Venus Of Melos, a
thing more ravishing than any other
vision ever hewn from a stone. In
this hall there are many pieces, Of an
tlquity and more modern times, the
loss OF any one of which would be
irreparable. Yet the strange people
OF this city, fired with enthusiasm for
communistic theory, once mined the
Louvre, poured petroleum over it and
prepared to destroy with gunpowder
what 1t had taken the world more than
twenty-five hundred years to produce.
City Of Strong Contrasts.
Paris Is overrich in the possession

Paris home of opera, without an ar

Its famed grand stairway is fitting
prelude to the highest moods that can
be produced by the music on its stage.
And there is not wanting a strong
element of gruesome and terrifying re-

an assembled bestial mob the razor
blade OF the guillotine rose and fell
untiring, while head after head, mid
bitter jest and song, rolled from the
CORY machine into the great common
basket, and the quivering trunks were
corded at it's side. Age and youth and
loneliness were sacrificed to fierce pas
sion on this now serene square in
way that only Rome had equaled.
Every contrast is found in Paris.

is the worlds highest structure, the
Eiffel tower. This huge shaft of steel
is one of the most overpowering
things within the city. Forty drafts
men worked two years on the 5000

$4,000 sections. Restaurants, shops
and a theater are housed upon its
steps and within it's corridors. Ten

CLOSING OF SMALL
TRIBUTARY STREAMS
Recommendation Made by State Fish
and Game Commissioner-Co-
operation Urged.

Commissioner TitcOmb has Just been
to the holders of fishing and
hunting licenses Of last year circular
letter explaining the fish and game
laws, and especially the conditions in
the game laws about which there seems
to be more or less Misunderstanding.
He closes with an appeal for co-opera-
tion and urges the closing of small
tributary streams which contain trout
that do not ordinarily attain a legal
size until they have dropped down into
the larger waters. The present law
authorizes the commissioner to close
without written consent of the owners.
Short term closing of streams has not
been found advantageous. The commits
sioncr thinks it is bad policy to change
the laws every two wears. one of the
reasons for which being the fact that
it takes about two years for the public
TO hc accustomed to changes, especially
as they apply to open and close sea-
sons.
The commissioner closes his circular
by stating that any persons desiring to
be kept on the mailing list use the
postal card which he enclosed for their
present address. 1t is his intention to
send a copy Of the biennial report. now
in course IF preparation, to every per
son who takes advantage of the postal
card to forward his address, ana the
number of cards received will be his
