A FRENCH CRAZE.
ABANDONING SHELL SOUVENIRS. IN UNEXPECTED PLACES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.-—Copyright. Received Sept. 15, 9.25 p.m. London, Sept. 14. Paris is undergoing rather a nerve-rack-ing experience, as the result of a sudden increase in the craze for abandoning explosive shell souvenirs. The owners drop them in all sorts of handy and unexpected places, in the roadways, on the seats of railway carriages, in the public gardens and restaurants, and in the gutters. Yesterday’s list included a parcel of eight under adust-heap, another in a courtyard of the Boulevard, and another in the ticket-office at the Garde des Invalides. Since the beginning of the year 5000 have been picked up in public highways, and since September 1 they have been discovered at the rate of 50 daily.
