To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The amusing part of the story is that the thirty persons to whom theparcels were addressed had been asked by the officers if there wasanything dutiable in them, and all had replied in the negative.
The confusion and trouble were therefore great when forbidden articleswere found in twenty-seven out of the thirty packets.
The French officials are very strict about such matters, and enforceheavy fines for attempting to bring things into their country withoutpaying duty on them.
The senders had had... no idea that the X rays would be used on thepackages, and had arranged them so that on opening they would appear tocontain nothing dutiable.
One basket was labelled fruit. Had it been opened in the ordinary waythe officers would have found nothing but apricots and plums, unlessthey went to the trouble of emptying the whole basket out--a thing thatis seldom done. When the X rays got to work on this packet a pair ofpatent-leather shoes was revealed, hidden away amongst the fruit.
Another bundle was labelled, "Specimens of clothing--without value.
