Suggestions for the Site of an EXPOSE
tion in 1900.


N. Berlier, an engineer. is tile author Of
the latest suggestions as to a site and plan
for the universal exhibition of 1900. he
advises the committee to choose the Bois de
Vincennes, which belongs altogether 10 the
state. No appropriation measures would
then have to be taken, as in the case of the
AuteuiI racecourse and the Wallace property
at Bagatelle. Furthermore, ground seven
times larger than that covered by the last
Worlds Fair could be found in the eastern
wood. The space being larger and more
open there would be no danger of over
crowdng or of the consequent eDgendering
OF an epidemic
Nj. Berlier also proposes, as the great hit
Of the exhibition, the construction of a
monumental railway terminus in the center
of the fair. He likewise suggests the build
ing of d temporary town, something on the
famous New Tipperary model, at the east
ern extremity OF the show, where people
employed in the exhibition, as well as be-
lated visitors, could find proper hotel ac-
cOmmOdatiOns. as well as shops wherein
all the usual articles OF commerce could be
purchased at ordinary city prices. By
means of the railways, steamboats,, buses
and especially the tubular tram (for which
NJ. Berlier himself is the contractOr), the
engineer estimates that over 100, 900 peo pie
could be hourly conveyed to NIncennes
from the center of Paris. The cabmen,
who were so atrociuusly extorttonate in
1889, would. therefore, be obliged to modify
their tariffs. The exhibition committee
has now enough to chose from, what with
the ten projects sent in relative to the sites
of COurbevoie. Auteuil proper. Bois de
BOulogne. VTncenueS, St Cloud, Ciichy la
Tulleries and Champ Elysees, and Neuilly

Measuring the Wind.
New YORK Sun.

The new method of recording wind phe-
pomena, which has now for some time been
in Use al the Odessa observatory, has ac-
complished very satisfactory and useful re-
suits. By means OF this simple apparatus
the direction aud velocity OF the winds are
alike marked on cylinder by one symbol.
The record consists in this case of arrows,
which are printed on the paper covering the
cylinder, their position showing the direc-
tion of the wind, and the number of them
marked on length of paper corresponding
to one hour furnishes data for finding the
velocity by an empirical scale, the special
value of the readings being determined by
an thermometer. The recording apparatus
IS actuated by clockwOrk, and the indiea-
tiOns are made with great readiness and
accuracy by electrical contacts, which are
produced by battery cell, the duration of
this contact depending on the velocity of the
wind-.a light wind producing, of course, a
contact of longer duration than strong

had written number of things that had
attracted attention, but had as yet not ac-
quired literary standing when the cable
came announcing the death of Charles
Dickens. As the cable was handed him he
was given also his mail for the day. Among
the letters was one with an English post

letter from Charles Dickens complm ent-

head down on his desk and cried. With

Eating Out of Troughs.

estate In Sicily sleep on the property on
week nights aud tramp back to town for
Sunday. Their food is provided for them
during the week. In the morning they have
each large chunk of brown bread baked
on the spot, herring or sardine, and as
much wine as one can drink in one draught.
There are wooden troughs on tresses in the
open air, arranged around three sides of a
square and filed with sort of pasta"
The men stand around these troughs (they
are like English pig troughs) and feed with
their fingers. 1t is in vain that their master
has tried TO induce them to eat out of plates
with spoons. They broke the plates and
threw the spoons away. Presumably their
idea is that sometimes there are Jumps in
the food, which, feeling with their fingers,
they are able to seize upon, SO securing a

MEDICAL FADS.
Facts About the Water Cure of Other

There have been many medical fads,
some Of which have been almost funny

tfcally, while others have had vitality
enough to retain place. shorn, how
ever, of the vogue they once had. The
latter are in the majority, Tor the greater
number OF these fads have really had some
good in them, and have been most excellent
for some diseases. About the first medical
lad can remember was the water cure. I
have never personally gone through nor
seen this treatment, but | know il from my
reading. The patients who went to the
wateT-cure estR RbllShments were obliged to
live the most absolutely regular and SIM
pie lives. They took plenty Of sleep, lots
OF exercise; they lived on the simplest but
very nutritious TODD: they were forced to so
exist as to give the recuperative powers OF
nature the fullest opportunity. Naturally,
those who were worn out by work or the
demands OF society, whose digestions were
ruined by rich fOod who had, in short, lived
In defiance OF every law of hygiene, derived
great relef and permanent benefit. True,
the health conditions of the life were accom-
panied for the patients by an everlasting
round of washing themselves In various

liar face to which we have grown accus-
toned, there are two broad bands or rings
of white porcelain placed laterally, one
above the other, and resting upon four up
right posts or small pillars of white marble.
The uppermost band is divided into twelve
equal parts by delicate gilt lines. On the
small tablets so formed are printed in figures
of gilt the hours of the day The lower
band Is made in similar manner, to repre-
sent the division of time into minutes. In
mediately in front OF these bands is fixed
a single hand which points upward. BY
means OF the usual mechanism the bands
are made TO revolve steadily from left to
right. Thus, by having the hours and
minutes pass directly back Of it, the soli-
tary hand indicates the time accurately
without departing frvm its upright position.
The machinery of the clock is entirely ex-
posed. the wheels being so placed as to
occupy the space within the circle formed
by the revolving bands. The whole, glitter

low, ebonized stand, is surmounted by
