of most stones rigidity is one of the
marked characteristics, and 1t Is hard

-Thirtv-two schemes for a site for
the proposed international exhibition
in Paris in 1900 have been considered
by the commission having the matter
in hand. 1t is considered most likely
that the site of the exhibition of 1889
