 "The next morning I found that three of the bombs had fallen and ex- ploded on the doorstep of the house where I was stopping, tearing great holes six feet in diameter. l found several unexploded bombs nearby, of the shape of footballs, but consider ably larger in size"
 After the attacking squadron had retired, according to the passengers, 1t was found that one of the enemy planes had been brought down. The people of Paris, the passengers said, were of the opinion that the raid was by way of reprisal for what French fiiers had done over German cities"

How They Do it.

''What chances actors take!" you may exclaim when you see a motion picture showing a man and lion, with a none too pleasant expression. in a hollow log together, each apparently unaware of the presence of the other. It seems a pity to spoil the effect of such a good thriller by telling the truth about the filming. The lion alone was taken during one exposure of the film When he had bowed himself out of the log and back into his cage the man was allowed to take the center of the screen, or rather of the log. and was photographed in proper relation to the aion, on the second exposure of the same film. But On the screen, of course, they both appear in the log at the same Science Monthly.

Passengers Arriving in United States Give Thrilling Ac-
 counts of Attack.
FAMOUS BUILDINGS WRECKED
Bombs Tore Up Streets During Two Hour Siege in Inky Darkness Death Toll 245-Drop Nine
 Tons of Explosives.

An Atlantic Port.-Thrilling eye witness accounts of one of the tremen- dous German air raids on Paris, were brought by passengers arriving at this port on d French steamship recently. One of the passengers, in position to know all the facts, declared that more than POO men, women and children had taken part in the raid and that over nine tons of explosive bombs had been dropped during twe-hour siege.
 One American ambulance driver alone, according to passenger, picked up 70 bodies during the night.
 "The Germans picked out the dark est night in long time to make their raid" said this informant, whose name cannot be divulged Their squadrons came over Vincennes, and headed for the heart of the ciS.
 Fought in Dark.
 Tt was about midnight when the popping of the antiaircraft guns woke me and gave the first alarm. 1 looked out, but nothing could be seen in the blackness, except the flash of the de- lending batteries, in every part of the city, and, occasionally, the sizzling trail of a bomb.
 French machines had risen to the attack at the first signal, but they were greatly handicapped by the dark ness. The rattle of their machine guns could be plainly heard and there were several clashes, but for the most part the French fliers went winging blindly and at random through the dark.
 For two hours the city was pelted with bombs. Hospitals were hit and convalescent soldiers wounded. Fa- nous public buildings-I am not al lowed to tell their names, but they are known all over the world-were badly damaged, and some of the famous houlevards and public squares were torn up as by an earthquake.
 Death Toll Put at PAS. "From information I gathered the toll of death was nearer 245 than 45, as the official statement says. An American ambulance driver. a friend, worked through the night with other members of the corps, securing every part of Paris. for the whole city was

 "Yes; if the great writer would ad- init that his wife could write, too"
 But I do admit it." Because you know 1t is my work, but deep down in your heart 1 don't believe you think I have any ability at all."
 That is unfair. That is just little notion you have got into your head. l think your writing is fine. You have never given me a chance to tell you what really think about It."

 When Brandon was taking off his coat before retiring, later on in the night, piece of paper fluttered to the floor. He must have gathered 1t up with his coat when he took it from the chair in Marguerite's room. he de- cided as he stopped to pick 1t up.
 It was a letter to Marguerite, and when his eyes lit upon one sentence he could not refrain from reading the whole thing.
 It was from a publishing house, one of the best-known ones, and 1t con cerned q book they had published for her. "'Odds and Ends is one of the best books we have published this season and we think you were unwise pot to have it appear under your real name,n was the sentence that caused him to gasp. He finished the letter, then dropped it with Il groan. The paper had gone to press half hour before and his review on "Odds and Ends would be waiting on Mar guerite's desk the next morning.
 He didn't get much sleep that night. He couldn't remember just what he had put in that review, but he knew 1t was terrible. He presented haggard appearance at the office next morning, and 1t was with shaking fingers that he opened the paper to read his col umn. He scanned the page in vain. The review on odds and Ends" had been left out
 You nearly made an awful mess of things last night, Houston"
 Brandon turned to face the editor.
 How" he asked.
 "Why, your review of Odds and Ends That story was by local girl-in the city and I'm trying to en- gage her for our woman's page. Lucky for me I happened to pick up your copy in the composing room last night"
