The sanctum Of NJ Louis Pasteur, for
example. is one Of the most simple in the
high order Of truly physical comfort. It
is not encumbered with the scientific
paraphernalia often met with in the
houses Of medical men. A large carved
eak table stands by the side Of the arm
chair in which the great scientist often
sits In quiet contemplation Of his past
experience and future hopes. In that
high stack of green cases at which he
casts an occasional glance stores Of valu-
able notes are classed in perfect order
They are ready for reference should a
fresh problem arise in the course Of his
labors i'm bringing about the prevention
OF cure of that terrible affiiction TO the
study OF which he has devoted so many
years of his valuable and successful life.
NJ. Pasteur usually wears close fitting
skull cap when in his sanctum. He is
grand cross of the Legion OF Honor, mem
Der Of the French academy and perpetual
secretary Of the Academy Of Sciences
THE GREAT TOWER BUILDER.
M. Gustave Eiffel, the engineer whose
wonderful popularity has grown 30 rap
idly, is accustomed to ruminAte in a
quiet looking but very comfortable sors
Of library. He Is fond of'wallring about
when in deep calculation, and frequently
makes halt in front Of his admirable
chimney piece, the shelf of which is sur
mounted by very chaste and beautiful
female bust. On each side Of the chin
ney piece Is q handsome Venetian mir
ror. II was in this sanctum, situated in
the Rue de Prony, that M. Gustave Eiffel
solved the last few serious difficulties
which at one time threatened the com
pletion of his Champ de Mars triumph;
and there 1t is that he now meditates
over the opposition formed by some OF
the members of the municipal council to
his project for the construction of the
Metropolitan railway for Paris The
main objections to the metropolitan
scheme are that it would destroy the
beauty Of the boulevards and ruin the
line of omnibuses running from the
Madeleine to the Bastile 1t is not at
all unlikely that the engineer who tri-
umphed so gloriously In the case of his
tower will achieve another victory with
the railway he proposes to construct.
The man of the iron tower is an officer
Of the Legion of Honor
M. Francisque Sarcey, the well known
theatrical critic of The Temps, and one
of the brightest of the galaxy of Pari-
sian chroniclers, inhabits during his long
working hours library in which he il
almost surrounded by his books. M.
sarcey is beyond what is usually consid.
cred the prime of life, yet he looks
well 50, with spectacles on nose, and
wearing soft and smooth white beard,
he poses himself carefully and closely
over his table in front of the copy he is
carefully preparing. He is reputed to
be q model of gallantry toward the la.
dies; but the case might be reversed
| when it is considered that the lady art
lists whom it is his duty to cTiticise moi
infrequently call at his house to ask s
favor or an act of justice for their pro
fessional requirements. There are two
places where sarcey may very often be
met with; one is his library, and the
other Is his fauteuil d'orchestre, when
ever . grand performance or a premiere
representation is given at any of the
principal Partisan theatres.
