Dickens was at one time a permanent resident in Paris and lived at 48, Rue de Courcelles, now demolished and rebuilt as 38. But he must have made several places famous in a novel such as "A Tale of Two Cities" and it would be interesting if any of your readers, better acquainted with Paris than the present writer, could identify the spots and make them known to him through the medium of your correspondence columns. An enthusiast in Paris. MR. EDMUND HELLER Naturalist friend of the late Theodore Roosevelt and co-author with him of "Life Histories of African Game Animals," Mr. Edmund Heller, a companion of the famous Roosevelt African hunt of 1909, has just reached Paris again with one thousand specimens of big game, birds and reptiles which he has been collecting for the past three years in the Belgian Congo for the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. Mr. Heller is America-bound with his treasures, which he will install in the great museum in Grant Park, where there are already many exhibits shot by him, in the African wilds and mounted under his direction. His special study has been the gorillas that live in the forests. Although known as one of the best naturalists in the United States, and a crack shot who has had thrills without number in the jungle, even including being the goal of three charging lions on one occasion, Mr. Heller is most modest about his adventures. He considers it all "in the day's work." Naturalists and big-game hunters are "born and not made," he thinks. Recently he has repeated many of his earlier feats by bringing down elephants, buffalo, giant pigs, lions, okapi, gorillas, chimpanzees and countless birds and reptiles. In order to carry on his extensive studies and operations, a base camp was located near Lake Kivu, in the bamboo zone 8,000 ft. up the slopes of one of the volcanoes, where the naturalist had assembled one hundred natives to carry his equipment and care for the camp. For the actual hunting he used bushmen of a rare race of

Recently he has repeated many of his earlier feats by bringing down elephants, buffalo, giant pigs, lions, okapi, gorillas, chimpanzees and countless birds and reptiles. In order to carry on his extensive studies and operations, a base camp was located near Lake Kivu, in the bamboo zone 8,000 ft. up the slopes of one of the volcanoes, where the naturalist had assembled one hundred natives to carry his equipment and care for the camp. For the actual hunting he used bushmen of a rare race of pygmies that dwell in the African forests. This tribe is called "Wahutu" in the native Swahili dialect, which Mr. Heller was forced to learn in order to converse with his men and with Belgian officials in the Congo. Every official sent out by the Belgian Government must learn Swahili immediately; thus there is a common tongue throughout the district. To mention some of the difficulties of life in these woods, Mr. Heller tells an interesting tale of the so-called "Army Ant," which emerges from the forests in droves of thousands and falls upon the first living thing it finds unresistant. Often in the night the members of the expedition would awaken to find themselves attacked by these ants. The only safeguard against the "Army Ant" is a circle of hot ashes thrown about the tents or the rude huts built by the natives. Mr. Heller has spent twenty-five years roaming little-known parts of the earth in search of museum specimens. His desire for the life of a naturalist developed early, and he was but a child when his fine collections of birds were the envy of all the other neighbor boys in his native town of Freeport, Illinois, and still

His desire for the life of a naturalist developed early, and he was but a child when his fine collections of birds were the envy of all the other neighbor boys in his native town of Freeport, Illinois, and still later in California. There he graduated from Stanford University with the class of 1901 and went as a representative of the University on his first expedition—to the Galapagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador, to collect fishes. Then he went to Alaska, collecting animals and birds for the United States Biological Survey, and he spent the next seven years traveling for the Field Museum along the Pacific Coast, Lower California, and in other places he made a trip to Peru for the National Geographic Society. Four years ago the Field Museum sent him through the Amazon Valley.

On occasions when a King has seen fit to take it abroad with him, an equivalent seal had to be substituted for use in England. Under the Lord Chancellor, who held the Seal, was a large staff of clerks who were accounted men of some importance and whose duty it was to prepare the instruments which were to issue under the Seal. Sir H. C. Maxwell-Lyte’s book deals with these clerks and their methods. Among other matters of interest and instruction contained in the volume is that in the early part of the 19th Century the Lord Chancellor was in receipt of an allowance of £96 a year instead of twelve tuns of Gascony wine which, presumably, his predecessors had enjoyed.

"For example, for the London Cockney the open voiced sound in "catch" became something like "ketch," which is near to the Australian’s pronunciation of that vowel. 'Taxi' became 'texi,' 'Tan' became 'treq,' 'can' became 'ken.' The Australian 'j' is slurred by the worst speakers, so that it becomes 'i.' The London Cockney, said of 'i' as in fly. The slurring of the diphthong is probably the most consistent fault in Australian speech, varying with 'i,' which is a diphthong begun with the open mouth, to 'oi,' a diphthong begun with a rounded mouth. The sky was meant to be a crowd of stars. Her golden head; The earth a shifting fairy stage For her feet to tread.

(Paris Times Spécial) Rome, Via del Babuino - Italy is having a Christmas vacation from politics. Parliament has adjourned over the holidays, and the Fascist Grand Council does not meet again until January 6. Conversation, therefore, turns to cheese, and ships and sealing wax for Christmas packages, and the price of cabbages, and, naturally, Signor Mussolini. The town of Gorgonzola, hitherto famous chiefly as the native habitat of the Italian Roquefort, has strangely enough come into the news in connection with Eau de Cologne. The inventor of Eau de Cologne was named Johann Maria Farina, who came from Northern Italy to settle in Cologne in 1709. Some forty trains now bear the name Farina, supposedly descendants of the inventor. One concern, more ambitious than the rest, scoured Italy for a man bearing the exact name Johann Maria Farina. He was found in Gorgonzola; he was given an interest in the business for the right to use his name, and he was drawing a handsome pension when he died two years ago. A Cologne firm which claims to own the original formula, although without a Farina, has been suing the firm with the Gorgonzola partner. The court decided, however, that since the Gorgonzola man had the legal right to bear the name Johann Maria Farina,

"I am twenty-one years of age," said Signor Mussolini recently. "Only those who produce and make some contribution to the State by their work should participate in the Government." It appears that the future Chamber will be based on the new Syndicalist Laws, and must await their effectiveness. The Fascist Corporations in the ninety-two provinces will name electors who will in turn choose the members of the Assembly. There will be no Opposition, although "constructive criticism" will be permitted, according to a Fascist statement. The Italian Government is busy with the problems of emigration and colonization, complicated in recent years by the American quota laws which close the United States to the surplus Italian population. An agreement is understood to have been concluded in London between the Italian Ambassador and Mr. Bruce, the Premier of the Commonwealth of Australia, whereby 20,000 Italians may emigrate to Australia annually. A similar arrangement is being sought with Canada. Sports will be subject to Fascist supervision. Fascists to force down high cost of living. In Italy, as in other countries,
