When he was left alone in the house he de- lighted in swilling his flagstones with pails of water. and many a distin ‘guished friend found him thus en. gaged with a kind of smock on and his bushy hair all tousled.

After the Franco-German war. in which Camille Flammarion. the fa- (nous astronomer. fought as a captain. he settled down to his astronomical la- bors in Paris and later founded an ob- servatory at Juvisy specially to study the planets. On the occasion of his scientific jubilee he was presented With a silver medal depicting him standing on a cloud. flanked on one side by the planet Mars and on the other by his Jnvisy observatory. A region on the moon has been named after him. but in whispering this fact to an inter- viewer M. l"lammarion hoped it would not be published.

Every boat carries a drum, and as it approaches an inhabited district the drum is beaten to tell the natives that goats, fruit or vegetables are wanted.

The fuel is wood, and every-five or six hours the boat must stop to replenish the supply from a heap of cut sticks on the bank.
