Today be has once more come into conflict with the criminal law of the country. M. Renaud is now about seventyseven years old, and, therefore, may well be reckoned the dean, the Nestor, of his profession in France. It was after the war of 1870-71 that he made his debut in Paris.

He was arrested, but again got clear and then went to London. He was again brought before a tribunal In Paris as a bankrupt with 21,000,000 franef liabilities. Again he got free by means known only to himself. \ His last--or latest--enterprise was the foundation of a "National BanH" In 1916. calling himself Rockland, alias Count Roqueplan. In the course of his career he has been brought to trial eight times, has been imprisoned six times and has "annexed," "conveyed" or otherwise scqulred about 40,000,000 francs. Withal he today appears like a well-preserved man of fifty, elegant in attire and manner, and everybody in Paris expects that be Is about to start his ninth "bank."

SOO RAPIDS NO MORE A MENACE Once Navigable Stream Reduced to Rocks and Pools. Fishermen Gather Big Catches Streamlets Where On«e Angry Torrents Raged. In 8ault Ste. Marie, Mich.--Modem engineering has broken the prestige of the old-time Soo rapids, reducing to rocks and shallow pools a stream which, in the days before the civil war, schooners piled with no fear of hitting bottom. Completion of the last of the compensating dams above the rapids has brought to the surface moss-clad rocks hidden for centuries, and it is now possible to wade across a space where, in 1852, there was a stream of such respectable volume that the sailing schooner Uncle Sam passed easily. Capitulation of the rapids, which has drawn nearer and nearer during seventy years, reached its climax with startling quickness recently when, within an hour after the closing of: the dam, the rapids became gaunt rock and disconsolate rivulets. The scent of fish and moss filled the air. In pools were some unwary creatures of the water who had not fled in time, and anglers hastened for their kits. Most of the fish in the rapids had taken refuge in the lower river as the water receded. But the passing of the rapids brlngr some Joy, for fishermen believe the remaining pool8, some of them several feet deep, will attract the rainbow and speckled trout, and that these will be more easily snared. Dams above the rapids were constructed to regulate the depth of Lake Superior and to obtain 9 steady drift of water in the locks. The elder Dumas.
