PARIS FIVE NEW WONDERS.
FRANCE PREPARING TO AS.
TONISH THE WORLD.
An Aerial Journey Nearly 1000
Feet Above Earth.
One May Be Suddenly Shot Two
Hundred Feet Into the Air.
Or May Go Around a Great Globe in
Sixty Seconds, or BE Dropped
1000 Feet Into the Earth.

Hereafter, or, at least, till the century

the taste of the worlds public during
the declining days Of our century than

of to-day are lovers of wonders. We
will find enough in Paris four years
hence TO tickle us to the end of our

Wonder number one will provide an
aerial journey more than 900 feet above

journey back and forth.

the copper cap on top of our Wash.
tngton monument is only 555 feet from
the ground.
Imagine such trip Some folks found
the journey round the Ferris wheel at
our worlds fair nervous ordeal Com.
pared with this aerial cable line the
Ferris wheel is positively ridiculous as
