SEVEN WONDERS OUTDONE

Let antiquity cease it's babble. It's
Seven Wonders of the World are won
ders no more. Its fame is eclipsed.
Hereafter, or, at least, till the century
ends, says an English journal, let us
talk only of the Five Wonders of Paris.
For at the Partisan Exposition of 1900
we shall see quintuple of eXtraordi-
nary devices that will wipe memories
of past marvels out of existence.
The first wonder will provide an
aerial journey more than 900 feet above
the earth. The scheme is to swing
a mid-air suspension railway from the
top of the Eiffel Tower to the summit
of the distant Trocadero, from which
will be hung, by rollers, chairs making
the journey back and forth. The
Eiffel Tower is 9S5 feet high.
If shooting through the clouds in a
cane-bottOmed chair is not sensational
enough to stir the blood of our modern
novelty lover let him enter the survey
ing tower, which will be built close
by. There is nothing particularly
startling about the suggestion of a
surveying tower, you say. Just wait
till you hear all. You will enter a
leaning cylindrical tower about 90 feet
high, and made of tempered steel. 1t
looks IKE nOInIuS LuOIe IIIpOSlhS IMAM
metallic Tower of Pisa. You will
find a circular seat inside, capable OF
holding about 20 persons. You will sit
down and probably grasp the railing
pretty tight, meantime holding your
breath When the seats are all filled
you will suddenly shoot up into the
air for a distance of 200 Ieet. You
will then discover that your tower is
made of concentric steel tubes that
telescope into each other, and that you
are at the apex of the innermOst-and
now uppermost-sectiOn.
But the big tower will not stand
straight up. 1t will bend over, rain
bow fashion. in a long arc, with you
dangling at the end of it, for all the
world like a fish at the end of a sway
ing rod Then it will revolve slowly
from it's base, swinging you in wide
circle over a large section of the EX-
position grounds, and finally land you
on a stationary tower, down which you
drop by an elevator to the ground.
The scheme of this tower was chosen
as the most startling of 500 remarkable
suggestions.

YOU CAN'T PLAY IN OUR YARD.

Here is the chorus of one Of the
most popular songs, as the author
wrote it:
/ don't want TO play in your yard,
| don't like you any more;
You'll be sorry when you see me
Sliding down our cellar door;
You can't boiler down our rain barrel;
You can't climb our apple tree;
don't want to play in your yard,
If you won't be good to me.
Here is the Boston version OF the
same:
don't care to indulge in any sportive
recreation on the land about your
dwelling;
My affection for you has undergone the
process of ObliteratiOn;
You will regret your course when you
observe me in the act of precipi-
tating myself along the cover of
the excavation under the house in
which I have my residence;
You can indulge in no vocal exercise
whatever directed into the recepta-
Gle of rain water established by my
parents;
You shall not climb amidst the foliage
of the trees upon which grows the
succulent apple peculiar 10 our
estate;
As | have before remarked, in effect, l
do not desire to gambOl on the
ground surrounding your habita-
ton in the absence of a sufficient
guarantee that you will treat me
with due respect, courtesy and
kindness.

Closing OF Mrs. Gums Glass in
Arion Hall Yesterday.
The closing dance for this term of
Mrs Gums dancing school for chill
dren, was given in AriOn Hall yester-
day afternoon. There were between
80 and 40 children present, neatly ami
daintily dressed for the occasion. All
seemed bent on a good time, and
above all, to show what they had
learned to do in the realm of the light
fantastic. Each wee couple, smiling
and happy, IithIy and blithly moved
about upon the floor to the music of
the piano. Then, as a diversion for a
few moments, little Helene IRWIN
danced the hornpipe, to the delight of
all present, among whom were not a
few grown people-the parents, reh-
tives and friends of the youthful
dancers.
Refreshments were served, good
byes were said, and then the merry
gathering departed to meet again next
term.
