AN ARCHITECTURAL WONDER
One of the Marvels of the Civilized World
A French Conception.

O0e OF the MarSels OF the S1NlllZeu w GRID
A French Conception.
The French are a people of ideas,
and as a consequence lead the world
in many departments of science and
art. They know more about the con-
struction of the dramas than do the
writers of other nations, and they are
constantly furnishing novel concep-
tons in painting and statuary. The
BarthOldi statue is one instance of this.
But they have another project on foot
which promises TO be one of the mar
wells of the world. Mons. J. Bourdais,
a French engineer, proposes to illumi-
nate all Paris by what he calls Sun
Column. 1t is to be one thousand one
hundred and eighty feet high. The
ground floor will be a permanent
museum of electricity; super-imposed
will rise a siX-story column, sur
mounted by prominade capable of
accommodating two thousand persons.
The center, a granite core, will be sixty
feet in diameter, and will be sur
rounded by highly artistic framework
of iron faced with copper. This will
be divided into six stores each, con-
tanning sixteen rooms, sixteen feet in
height and fifty feet square. These
rooms will be used for what is known
as 9rotheratic treatment. Pate ntS
viii find here a purity of air equal TO
that upon the highest mountains.
The central cere of this giant
monument will be hollow TO permit
the use of scientific experiments: On
the top will be placed an enormous
electric lamp that will cast flood of
light over all Paris; it will have an in
tenSity equal to two million Carcsl
burners. Above all will loom up a
statue representing the Genius of
Science. This wonderful building,
when finished, will be the most extra
ordinary edifice in the world. and will
add greatly to the attractions of the
French capital.-Deniorests Monthly.

surprise. when it was found that Charles
w. Buck, accredited to that state, had
been appointed minister to Peru. This
is second class mission, and about the
best on the continent of America. As
each member of the delegation was met,
the conundrum was asked, "Who is
Buck ?" No one seemed toknow him, and
Senator Beck declared he did not live in
the state. He said, II went this morn

Buck, for don't know him, but against
his being permitted to crowd out men
who are known to the party, and who
have been recommended by democrats.

Perhaps he is, but I don't know any

found upon further comparison of notes,

The Harrington Radiator reflects
thusly:
The gift (?) Of Bismarck's alleged cap
ltol proves an expensive luxury for Da-
kota. The legislature appropriated S2l-
693.S0 for furnishing it, and $4,000 to
provide Offices in private buildings for
the governor and territorial officers for
two years, making S25,00O. Buildings,
Offices and all were furnished by the
government at Yankton. What is this
Bismarck elephant worth to the people
of Dakota?
