A "rim story is told of tlie air raid on Paris. While the work of rescue was going on by candlelight in one of the lionises "which had suffered most the crowd were suddenly horrified by the defiant notes of the "Eaooczy March,-" blared out apparently by a strong brass band. Everyone was aghast at so brutal an insult, till the tenant of a flat on an upper floor said that lie had an orchestrion which played that particular tune. Tho explosion must have set it in motion. At the risk of their lives some firemen managed to reach the machine, hut in the dark, and not knowing anything nbout its mechanism they could not. stop it.. It wont on till the floor on which it stood collapsed. Glass telegraph poles, which are si lengthened by interlacing and .intertwining with wire net, are now made. They arc particularly suited for hot climates, whero wooi! poles soon decay. Solely for tourists, Switzerland hiiv built an aerial trumv.ay, a mile and a half long and ascending to an altitudo of nearly a mile. . National efficiency is weakened by coughs and colds. Prevent this by taking NAfIOL. Ono doso a day keeps colds away. Sold everywhere, Is. Gd—Advt.
