(PufclUbtr' prM L4 Wirt.) Paris, Nov. I. Of much lntrt to Amtrlcini who contemplate motor toun In Europe 1 th action of th Interna tional conference on motor traffic which haa Just coma to an and hara. It pr pared a. number of rulaa, which hav already baen agreed to by Belgium, Bui carta.

Driver wfll hava to conform to tha law of tha country through which thay .. ara paaslng, an axtraot of wblob tnay will ba able to obtain at tha cuatom station on tha frontier. Every motor car roust bo provided with two lights -in front and behind. X.t of lotteries. Tha Fartslana are working themaelvea Into a frensy of exoltement over the last of the lotteries, and tnere are aigns that the interest In It ta not confined to Paris or France. The government U ' resolved to sanction no more enterprises of this kind for raising money. Tbla decialon haa been come to partly to discourage tha prevalence of gambling and also out of a consciousness that a large part of the proceeds of the va rious public appeal never went to their avowed object at all, but found their way into Intermediate pockets. Two million one hundred and fifty thousand tickets hava to be distributed to be spread over eight drawings. The first took place on November 6; the others follow at intervals of a month or so,, the last being drawn on Christ mas eve. 1910. There are. six prizes of 1,000,000 francs each and others of less amounts. The price of the tick ets Is 20 francs. The number of appli cations covers many times over the number of tickets to be issued; the con sequence Is that persons applying, say, for 600 tickets will have to be con tented with 60. The various banks receiving subscrip tions are Inundated with applications from England, which arrive by every post. Lotteries appear to have all the attraction of the forbidden to the Brit lah. Subscriptions are also received from America, Moreover, it is the last occasion upon which an Englishman can make his fortune in France. Statistics About Strikes. The ministry of labor has Just pub lished some statistics on the subject of strikes, which to say the least are ex tremely suggestive. In the course of September there were 73 strikes in Paris- that is to say on an average about two Btrlkes and a half a day. Out of the 73 strikes, 47 were settled in 10 days or less. The other 28 are still In progress. Thirty-one of the strikes were complete failures. The Army museum here has received from Lord Archibald Campbell a prev ent of a curious rello of Napoleon. Tbla la the, flag which the latter flew In tha lata of iJba during; his captivity there. The flag, which seems to have been entirely invented by Napoleon, al though some say that It was part sug gested by that of Coamo dej Medecl, a former sovereign of the ialand, is rather a strange standard. It ia square, whit and fringed with gold, bearing three gold bees an. a diagonal scarlet stripe. Tha staff carries a white and scarlet soarf, having also three gold bees. Na poleon doea not seem' to havo used tha flag he invented elsewhere than In tha Iale of Elba, where he waa a dethroned and captive monarch. In Franoe. al though bees were always bis emblem, and were embroidered on his state robes, his standard was the tricolor. - Xntanglea In Bed ffepe. . France Is famous aa tha land Of red tape, and her publlo officials are de termined that she shall live up to her reputation. . On July 13, at 11 o'olock In the evening, the wife of a M. Du al presented him with a daughter. On the morning of the 14th M. Duval, n accordance with the law, went with two witnesses to the town nail of his dis trict to register the birth. July 14 be ing a national holiday, the office waa cloaed. On the next day; a Sunday, tha office did not open. On Monday, the lth. the- clerk refuaed to register the birtn because t hours had passed since the child was born. A short time ago M. Duval was summoned for not hav ing registered his daughter birth and waa fined 76 francs.

Philadelphia, Nov. What la regard ed aa on of the moat Important incen tive to the development of agrioultur i the recent purchaa by the Pennayl vanla Railroad company of (0 acres of land at Bacon. DeL, on -which la to be operated an experimental farm. The purpose or the railroad in tnia tap 1 to show by praotloal demonatra tion what may be done la farming In Delaware and on the east shore of Maryland and Virginia through the adoption of scientific methods; and to encourage farmer in that section to take full advantage of ta natural re ourcea of their country. ' ' Several year ago a similar farm was begun on Long Ialand. It was so sua eessful that another farm ' was tab Halted In the same neighborhood. Aa a result, the farming output of land on the eastern end of that island has great ly Increased both In quantity and va riety. " To mere as rrodnetloa. The farm at Bacon, which Is along the line of the Delaware railroad, la In tended to supply the farmer of the peninsula the same function a it pre decessors did to the truck raiser on Long Ialand. . The establishment of the farm la the result of a trip made by Preaident James McCrea, of the Pennsylvania- railroad, through the peninsula a year ago. At that time he aaw thousands of acres ly ing idle, while land on farm adjoining them bore flourishing crops. -The last census report shows that Of the 3,916,800 acres on the penlnaula, only 3,068. J9I are under cultivation. Prealden McCrea suggested the experimental farm. H. S. LlpplhcotC a graduate of the ag ricultural college at Cornell university, haa been appointed superintendent of the farm. The cooperation of farmers of the peninsula is already assured, and the state agricultural colleges, boards and horticultural societies are support ing the project Besides attending to the farm. Superintendent Llpplncott will make a aeries of addresses to different bodies of agriculturists. One of the objects of the movement Is to Induce farmers from other parts of the country to settle In the peninsula. There are at present 38,365 farms, while the total population of the section is about 600,000.. It will be pointed out that the. land south of Wilmington, In point of transportation facilities, la as close to the great consuming centers as New York is to the farmer of Long Island. Deliveries may be made In one day. from any section of the peninsula tor points in central .Pennsylvania and Maryland; Baltimore, Wilmington, Phil adelphia and New York are close enough to furnish ready market for fruita, veg etables and other crops, while a through freight service has been estab lished to the middle west. It Is intended that the Delaware railroad experimental farm shall make demonstrations in growing fruit and in improving the varieties now under cul tivation on the peninsula Glass houses will be built for experiments with grow ing plants under glass. Grasses of vari ous kinds will be planted, including alfalfa, timothy and other nutritious hay. For these experiments, It Is to be noted, the railroad bought a farm . that was known to be "worked out." that is, land the fertility of which had been used up. The object of this was that a demonstration may be made of how fertility may be restored to land where nature ha been robbed of it ability to bear.

At the lowest es timate it Is going to cost New Tork city (3,000.000 to bring Catskill water from one side of the Hudson to the other. The cheapest method would be by tunnel through solid rock if solid rock could be found below the river bottom. It was announced at the office of the Broadway Water Supply that al ready borings had been made to a depth of more than 660 fret and bedrock not come upon, only mud. slit and new gravel. We are prepared to go as deep as 1000 feet." it was said on behalf of the board, "for the other two methods of piping the Catskill water across the river are objectionable. Today a tunnel upon the river bed Itself seem Imprac ticable, aa tha river depth la 90 feet; and to build a bridge from Storm King to Breakneck mountains would mean an expense of from ST.600,000 to $10,000. 000. Besides, federal authority would be needed for a bridge. "We sre therefore counting on reach ing rock at 1000 feet. If w don't well, we haven't encountered that worry I yet. Both banka at the point menUoned j ahow gneiss formation, and If we find it under the river bed, solid and with ' out fault, we csn tunnel through at expense to reckon with for mainte nance." Engineers found rock at a point farth er up river, but It waa lime on one side and granite on the other, and showed a fault. The situation Is critical in 1 that unless good rock is found In the 1 next ISO feet the board will have to consider whether to lay a huge pipe or build a bridge, which will add mllliona ! to the already enormous coat of thla water ayetem. and Which may not be able to withstand " the heavy winda which aweep down around Storm King. $19.50 I HUNTED BY TOWN Ladies Waists Just received Messaline, Taf feta Silk and Mohair, in black and colors.
