IN ONE of hi* utosi charming pas sages Anatole France evokes a tleeting memory of the quays klottg the Seine, "where one| (Hst urbs the dust-covered boobs of the u-cent stall, and 11 tltousund shadows terrible anil ehni'Ujlng." It l*n't our purpose to revive the-? memories : to do so would he to parade t ) i * * whole past In review; we shall simply state the inngle which drawn and which, holds to the quays of the Seine, writes I, A Des (Jarets in lit) Friinee. The quays' Along both "sides of our river they run !v But when we speak of quays, we mean, of course, the quays ot' llW lei! I batik. There Is the heart of Purls. Who would deny It? The iirliiiii of iho^e workers who live III the neiglibbrhood of the quays ? artists, thinker*. poets or simple workmen ? when they seek -their river, Is one of happy ' Indolence. They do imt .pause before the windows of the antiquaries' shops; they 'go toward the rampart which courageous and deter mined booksellers have raised, before the- river of forget fulness, the dike which will protect their books. It Is there that. In the summer sun. as well lis In winter fogs, are tlm last resting places of the production of man's thought. It Is there-thfrt a book, af ter good or bad fortune, comes to take its last chance; it Is there that they a re viewed by the savants, in search of information, or with sentimental curiosity by Ml in I I'lnson . . yes, the last refuge and the tranquil .resting place over which watch the high profile of the Louvre and the towers of Notre Dame! Where Point of Interest Begins. The quays start a little above the Palais Bourbon, at the palace of the Legion of Honor, once the famous Ho tel Salrn. During the revolution, since the prince of Salm-Krlburg had been given command of it battalion of the Lafayette guard, his palace became the meeting place of the Reformist club. Later the same building received the members of the Cerele Constitutlon nel, until the day when Napoleon made It the seat of the grand chancellor of the Legion of Honor. It is a pity that this charfning Greek temple should be eclipsed by the surrounding buildings. Next there Is the Qual Voltaire, where Mine. Ceclle Sorel makes her home, near the house tn which Voltaire died. When one enters this building the ghost of the mighty century ap pears; you are received with the gra ciousness of Cellmene. Everything in this house bears the imprint of Louis XIV, and nothing could be more a part of It than the character of the great artist who lives there. Here died In gres; there was the convent of the Theatlns, brought to France from Italy by Mazarln. Further along, at th corner of the Hue de Beaune, used to stand the barracks of the gray musketeers. The Famous "Bridge of Tears." Let us stop at the Institute. From here all the Paris of yesterday Is seen; the towers of Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Saint-Chapelle, St. Germain I'Aux errois, the csnclergerle. the pa In Is de Justice and the Pont-Neuf. still look irt? very solid. Since It was opened to trafllc by Henry III. the same dnv he lost his favorite, Quelus, the Parisi ans called It "the bridge of tears." That did not prevent it, bouevr. from ' becoming the center of animation of the city where all Paris irmheriMl m l>e amused by the ni*w< of the cm yet- j tiers and the sallies of Tabarlo.

The American soldiers liked our quays very much. More than one. un der the Influence of these skies, caught the disease and became bibliophiles Or numismatists or philatelists. All of them have 'kept an exquisite memory of this corner of Paris. There, Jn fact, men and things exchange a pleasant smile, as though the people of the twentieth century had found them the good fellowship of other days.

In nearlng the Sargasso sea It pre sents the appearance of a vast, undu lating prairie, clothed in bright yellow vegetation. , On coming on deck one might imagine oneself and ship set down In the midst of a field. As far as -Hie eye can reach Is the yellow weed to be seen. In masses more or less compact, according to whether the winds are light or strong; sometimes In lines many miles In length and but ,L*0 feet wide with intervals of clear water between ; sometimes In dense circular patches ;like floating Islands. In this moving continent life runs high. Myriads of tiny crabs, some of them no larger than jJfcas, cluster about the tangled fronds. Weird-look ing little shrimps with wondrous eyes on long stems, each facet shedding a brilliant greenish light, sparkling like a cut gem. Water fleas in a hundred varieties, colors and shapes. Little wormlike annelids, black with bril liant orange stripes, lead an active life here, wiggling among the leathery leaves. Lovely corrallnes Infest the branches, plumed feathers with myri ads of polyps. It Is the Ideal breeding place of all manner of marine life, for the heat of the sun Is very groat, so great, In deed, that In the noonday glare the flsh sink several foot to the cooler wa ters below the algae.
