4 Gigantic Revolving Tower.

France started the ball with the Eiffel
tower. England endcavored to go one
better with the mbley, which is still
in an embryo stage and appears likely
to remain so, while our American cous-
ms struck bright and novel idea in
the Ferris revolving wheel, which was
afyerward introduced into England, and
last season went merrily round, except
when it occasionally stopped and re-
quired more or less coaxing ere it re-
sumed its daily round" AS fact our
readers will remember it once had "a
night OUT on its OWL account. Now
French ingenuity is once again to the
fore, and this time the idea is to con-
struct lofty building that will spin
slowly, like a majestic top. The festive
Parisians are, it is stated, to have this
novelty in their midst, the site chosen
being near the summit of Montmartre,
the highest point within the fortiflca
tons of the gay city. The conception of
this big revolving tower (about half tho
height of the EiffeD is credited to NJ.
Devic The motive power for turning
the structure, q complete revolution of
which would occupy about two minutes,
would be hydraulic force. The upper
part of the building would be occupied
by public ballroom, III which dancing
would take place from II p. m. to a.

Two brothers, who recently died in
Paris, once well known as the famous
team OF singers Lionnet, who, with
their duets, charmed many audiences,
ended their days only few weeks apart
in miserable circumstances, and it was
stated that they had actually starved.
This would not have been necessary, as
there was found among their effects q
music book between the pages of which
were hidden three bills of 500 francs
each, The poor brothers had never
known about the existence of this money
in their possession. a very wealthy
EnglishmaD, at whose house they once
had sung, sent them this book, fine
edition of the songs Of Nadand, as
present, and, so as not to hurt their feel
ings, placed three 500 franc notes be-
tween the leaves Of the book 1t is evil
dent that the brothers Lionnet must
have been very much displeased with
the present of the book, for the package
in which it had come bore evidence of
having never even been opened, prob
ably because they expected something
more substantial than book of songs.
