 One more landmark of old Paris Is to disappear. says the London Tele- graph. The Passage Saumon, once the center of fashion. and situated in the heart of the metropolis, is to be demol- ished and built over. The ground will be offered for sale in the chamber of notaries. Half a century since the Passage Saumon was as fashionable as the Rue de la Paix Is today. There the dressmakers and milliners of the old days prepared the finery which was to dazzle the eyes of the provincials. Maids and matrons from the country tlocked thither to buy Pamela hats and other articles of the kind, and not few Parisiennes of the period were ai- so dressed there. h its Vacinity were famous restaurants, one of which, the Rocher de Cancale, still manages to exist. There, too, was the Theater Moliere while, in the matter of liter ary reminiscenee, it was in the Passage Saumon that Victor Hugo wrote part of Marion Delorme" one rainy day when he entered cafe there. AL phonse Daudet, too, has left detailed  description of the place in one of his earliest books, Le Petit Chose There are many Parisians of the present gen. eration who do not even know where the Passage Saumon is. The spot has long been neglected for more stately and more monotonous localities in the west, wherein every well-dressed man and woman thinks and acts alike. It's glory is vanished, like that Of the Pal- ais Royal, the Place des Vosges, and other localities famous in the social, artistic and political annals of France. The Passage Saumon is beyond the bourse and connects the Rue Mont maftre with the Rue Montorgueuil. Not far from it was the old post office, where people arriving by dilI- genees from all parts of France got down. Of late years the Arcade, once so brilliant. had become the dullest and dingiest of city resorts. and was inhabited by cheap milliners, small gro- cers, vendors of resuscit&ted tall hats and providers of faded fnery for fe- males with limited funds at their dis uosal.

Fonr Famous statnes.

The most famous statues in history are the Colossus of Rhodes, the Sphinx and the vocal statue of Memnon at Thebes, and of these the last is the most remarkable, in consequence of it's property of emitting sounds when it's lips were touched by the rays of the rising sun so that it seemed to greet the coming day. It was originally a portrait model of King Amenophis III, and was one of pair of statues be- tween sixty and seventy feet high, carved out of single blocks of sand stone and transported from the quar- ries to Thebes, whereas the Sphinx was carved from the living rock in the place where it now stands.
 Of statues not so we'll known the most remarkable is that of Buidha at Nara, rear Kioto, in Japan, which was erected A. D. 1100 It is made of bronze, and is ffty-three feet six inches high and more than twenty | eight feet broad across the shoulders. On it's head are 966 curls, and the i'm age is surrounded by a glory or halo seyenty-eight feet in diameter, on which sixteen images eight feet long are cast, Two smaller images, each twenty-five feet high, stand in front of the larger one. The total weight of metal in the main figure is about 450 tons, of which 500 pounds consist of gold.
