A Novel Use of Catncofnbs.

A great portion Of subterranean Par
is is honeycombed with catacombs
which were once used as burying-
places. A novel use has now been
made of these underground galleries
that lie beneath the Jardin des Plantes
for they have been converted into a
laboratory and aquarium. A number
of them have been filled with reser-

the inches that once contained human
bodies have been turned into cages,
so that scientists may be able to study
the effect upon animal life of total and
partial darkness.
