SHRINKING New York World: A curious little game of figures and time tables has been played recently by French statis- ticians of the department rf public works to show how France has been shrinking. In effect, year by year, ever since 1414. The conclusion la that un- der present facilities of travel the Francs of today, aa against that of almost a century ago, la of about the rim of the department of the department Including Paris and measuring perhaps sixty-fiv- e miles by forty. As applied to France this Is comparatively a simple game of hours, minutes and miles With the United States aa the territorial subject of the play one may be daaed by the variety and amazing character of the results. Nor ta it necessary to go so far back for comparisons as to thorn days, when it took more time to cross half the continent than a modern traveler devotee to a personally conducted tour of ths old world. In 1447 Buffalo was fifteen hours from New York. Chicago la now but eighteen hours away, where fifty years The Twentieth ago it was thirty-fivCentury flyer now makes Buffalo In about eight hours So In half a century the Empire stats has lost half Its rim almost, and the hustling Cook county metropolis has been drawn Very close to the 1447 borders of this commonwealth. That la ons way of playing this figurative gams of shrinkage. New Orleans in 1444 was twelve days and a half from New York If one traveled north, or thirteen days and eight hours if one traveled south. It ia now but thirty-tw- o hours away.
