FRESH FROM FRANCS.
I In 1909 the Eiffel tower becomes the property of the city of Paris and wilt then be used for its weather bureau. An employe in a French tobacco fae- | tory has invented a machine which ! makes the head on cigars after they arc rolled and does the work of about a dozen hands. Generally speaking, Frenchmen are not chewers of the Indian weed; butin the manufacturing districts, where men work 12 hours a day and cannot smoke during that time, they chew. Paris has a municipal department that not only moves large trees from place to place, but takes such as are sickly to a tree hospital, where they are restored to vigor and then set out anew.
Parisian thieves have discovered a new method, which has taken the form of abstracting the platinum tubes froth the interior of motorcars. Hundreds of thefts of this kind have been committed during the past few week*.
