Think made grand discovery yesterday
ono relating to matter which has for
many years troubled the minds Of physlciana
ard .oaa,as in this, the most pleasure loving
city In the world. The discovery relates to
suicide, and the cause which, induces ono
Frcnchman to make jump from the Pout
Seuf into the Seine; another to descend
from the July Column without using the
stairs; another to make q flying
trip from q five or s1x story win

perhaps, two, (supposin2 them to be lovers, }
to smother himself or themselves with char
coal vapor.. My discovery may. not receive

THE EXPOSITION.
The exhibition building, In the Champ dc
alate, Is sA1d to be in satisfactory state !;
but vast nmount Of labor is still to be douc
upon 1T, aswell a. upon the surrounding
grounds, which, although at present covered
BY opening day to be rs beautiful rs French
landscape gardeners can make them. The
building Is On the opposite side of the Seine
from the Tuillerles, directly In front OF the
bridse Of jena, and pFubaoiy two or two and
q half miles from the Granl Hotel. 1t will
cover about forty eight acres, and Is intended
TO be q capital specimen Of French skill aud
industry. The grounds will comprise nearly
sevcntv.six acres, and liberal part Of the
s:me will, !! the oLsfnol plan Is carried out,

posed to give the United Suites plenty Of
