Visitors viii cross the Seine in going
from the park of the Trocsdero palace
by the Point de Jena, which affords a
broad avenue from the permanent exbi-
bition to the temporary one. The bridge
is used for conducting in pipes the i'm

for the fountains and various exhibition
buildings. The city authorities have
given the use of one of the immense
reservoirs which they possess on the
heights of the Passy for the supply of
water The weight of iron piping re-
quired for this purpose amounted to no
less than 10000 COO kilogrammes. Cross

admirably adapted to the specific uses
