Paris. Sept. 15.-Because a group
of American tourists are believed TO
have taken three electric light globes
as souvenirs during a visit to Fort de
Vaux. the military authorities of the
erdun area have decided no longer
TO allow visitors to penetrate the his
toric site. The identity of the
souvenir hunters is not known but the
authorities threaten to close other
areas unless greater respect is paid
the battle fronts. They contend that
some persons have even removed the
metal municipalities from crosses in the
cemeteries in their wild lust for war
souvenirs.

twins, Chang and Eng were the
children of a Chinaman, born a.
bout May, 1911. The twins join
ed together by a cartilaginous
band which could not be cut for
fear of causing their death, were
both feeble at birth, though
Chang thrived while Eng contin-
ued delicate.
They were really discovered by

exhibition. After eight weeks

course of which they were exam
