PARIS INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION.—The edifice in the
Champs Ely-sees, preparing for the Exposition of neat
year, is now in a state that some opii io may be formed
of its effects, proportions, and distribution. The leading
idea appears to be a vast oblong central hall, since,
though the side galleries and double aisles are wide, and
the former are abundant in the amount of space they
provide, by the nature of the composition they are so
shut off from the central portion as in no point of view
to be commanded by the eye in conjunction with it. The
separation is on the lower story further aided by the
heaviness of the iron work, which, unless it be decorated
with remarkable skill, bids fair to produce the effect of
a wilderness of columns and cross-beams in deep shadow
—so intricate as to destroy all intimation of the area be-
twixt them and the outer wall. Then, the distribution
of and shade -or, to speak more exactly, of glare
and gloom—may offer difficulties of detail which it will
require as much ingenuity as foresight to cope with. In
the central hall—,although it is to be glazed with ground
glass—the affluence of daylight and sunshine may be-
come dazzling. In the side aisle-4, on the ground floor,-
light is so sparingly admitted that subdivision will he
alMost impossible in anything higher than dwarf parti-
tions. To eyes accustomed to the Crystal Palaces at
Knightsbridge and Sydenham, the central hall of the Pa-
risian building will seem deficient in height—while the
curves of the iron work in the roof, when viewed in cer-
tain positions, have an appearance which is more singu-
lar than satisfactory to the unscientific eye. The outer
elevation of the building, which is solid stone-work,
offers less matter for doubt and question. It is simple
and handsome.—Athenaeum.
THE WHALE FISHERY.—During the past week we
have had three or four arrivals from the Arctic retzione.
They confirm in a measure the reports formerly circu-
lated, and supplement the news from that quarter by
stating that " there have been only six fish caught in
the country up to the time of their departure." Some,
of the poor fellows are in a sad plight, having parts of
their fingers, toes, and ears frost-bitten—John, o'Groat
Journal.
