The latest worry of Paris IS that the
rate at which hotels and apartment
buildings are being bought and trans
formed into banks or exchange agencies
will cause tourists to transfer their
affection either to London or Rome.
Some OF the most luxurious. buildings In
tho centre OF Paris have been rernodelled
for banking purposes recently, as, for
instance, the Hotel Edouard VII. the
Hotel Bristol and tho Hotel Elyseo Pal
ace. and In these districts there ls
hardly q corner that does not shelter 4
couple OF foreign banks.
II is even said that negotiations are
pending for the transformation OF a
group OF hotels, including the Grand, the
Crillon and the Louvre but this has not
yet been confirmed. Hotel proprietors
are pointing out that American visitors
Will be unwilling TO take up quarters In
outlying districts, and the Government
must do something Immediately II Paris
Is 10 remain tourist centre.
But the French bankers, despite their
natural desire TO divert competition. are
not willing to recommend that foreign
banks be taxed more heavily than native
banks. lest the branches Of French banks
abroad suffer rep-lsals.
All things considered, II seems highly
probable visitors VIII be shuntcd TO small
family hotels, while the big hostelries
will be flled With specimens OF barI,
notes from all parts OF the world.

Silently, for he was rated as a deaf
mute, he stood about In the shadows Of

keen observer and bit OF philosopher
also. Tall and gaunt. he left lasting
impression on all who passed. Thus In
the thirtytwo years during which he
worked at his trade Of beggar in the
same neighborhood he became widely
known character. although he had never
done anything except ask aims with
gesture.
From time to time the police arrested
him and charged him with mendicancy
but each time the doctors examination
indicated he was deaf and dumb.
The other day new policeman was
put on the beat. lie did not know tho

dered his release we know him wcl.'
he explained to the new policeman

Eminent surgeons in the Charing

The case was one that demanded

instruments that were strong enough.
John Neal Of Battersea, an engineer,
was pierced from the left shoulder to
the right knee by steel rod half an
inch thick. The accident IS considered
to be the most unique in the history OF
medicine here. as the bar had passed
right across the mans body, missing all
the vital organs and all bones and pro-
jecting through the knee.
The surgeons found, however, that
they could not extract the bar. so they
sent for the plumber, Charles Venables.

Like all good plumbers Mr.. Venabies
had to return for his tools. so he went
to the basement and fetched an cngi-
