GRAND OPERA HOUSE At PARIS.
1t Is In Many Respects the Most Wonder
ful Theatre in the World

| 1t Is In Many Respects the Most Wonder
fol Theatre in the World.
The Grand Opera house at Paris although
it was completed in 1874 by the republic,
stands a monument to the second empire. In
1860 it was decided to build a memorial of
this period of peace and prosperity which
should stand for all time One hundred and
seventy-one plans were received from the
most celebrated architects of the day, Charles
Garnier being the successful candidate The
building is the largest of it's kind in the
world, covering an area of IL. 500 square yards,
on nearly three acres, the great St Peters
burg theatre, next in size, covering one and
One-seventh. Its cubic mass is ,3e7 900 feet,
Munich, the next in point Of bulk, being
1,295 600 1t is heated by fifteen furnaces
and lighted by 5000 gas jets supplied by ten
miles of pipe, and the reservoirs in basement
and on roof providing against fire casualties
hold over 100000 gallons of water. The
ground site cost s., 000, 600, the building over
5000, COO
The spacious steps are of St Gle sand
stone, the ground floor of Larrys free stone.
adorned by numerous statues, while higher
stu is the balcony or loggia Sixteen Bava-
riau stone monoliths stand out against q
background of red Jura stone. This glaring
color contrast at first met criticism, but was
evidently left to be toned by time. These
columns are connected by balconies of pol
ished stone with balusters of green Swedish
marble, and with them eighteen columns Of
peach blossom marble, with gilded capitals
These columns sustain rideau or curtain Of
Jura stone, sheltering the loggia, ornanented
with gilt bronze busts and brackets. In
order to increase the altitude OF the building,
the attic above, rich in sculpture, has it's
background incrusted with golden mosaic,
which gives wonderful animation to the fg-
ures and ara besques by its changing reflection.
Higher up row of gilt bronze masks runs
along the frontage and higher still, above
bands of violet brocateile marble, are gilt
bronze groups in the angles. From a more
distant point the effect of the frontage is
completed by the cupola of the auditorium,
topped with cap Of bronze, lightly adorned
with gliding. On the gable end of the stage
roof is Lequensne's Pegasus" and at either
end of the main roof structure Millet's noble
bronzes, "Apollo Lifting His Golden Tyre"
The lateral frontage of the house is less or
uate, and both marble and bronze are less
freely used.
The bewildering effect Of this maze in form
and power in color makes it difficult to deter
mine the value Of the harmony in this elao-
orately wrought design. The flight of steps
leading up to the piIiared portico to the prin
cipal entrance that is half hidden from the
front has been pronounced flaw by critics

THE POLAR BEAR AND HE? YOUNG.
Within this strange nursery she produces
her young and remains with them beneath
the snow till March, when she comes out into
the open air with her baby bears. AS the
only use of the snow burrow is to shelter the
young, the male bears do not hibernate like
the females, but roam freely about during
the winter months.
Before retiring under the snow the bear
eats enormously, SO that she becomes very
fat, thus laying up an internal store of food,
which enables her to support her own life
and to nourish her young during her long
seclusion. By an admirable provision of ma
ture the young Polar bears are extremely
small at birth and grow very slowly SO long
as they are in their crystal nursery, thus
needing little food and space. When they
emerge from their shelter the mother bear is
extremely thin and very fierce.

And hearts grow warn amid the storm
His sleigh bells merrily ring
The children's stockings hang up il line,
Where the rudy eTqbers glow;

On its pillow o. soft repose,
