THE COST OF THE 1900 EXPOSITION.
The Grand Entrance Alone Will Cost Man,
Small FOrtuess, Besides the Other
Smaller Ones.

/ NAN-'NA VA -
Officially, the origin of the Paris
Exposition of 1900 dates from the
month of July, 1892. The Arst Paris
Exposition was held in 1856; the next
tn 1867, and the third and fourth in
1878 and 1889, respectively. Shortly
after the closing of the last exposition
the idea of great centennial inter-
national exhibition, to be held in the
last year Of the nineteenth century,
was moOted by the public, but it WAS
not until July, 1892, shat an official
move was made in the form of com
muuicsticn faaaA-M. Jules Roche, the
then Minister OF Commerce, to Presi-
dent CarnOt
1t IS too soon to say what will be
the money cost of the Paris Exposi-
tiOn Of 1900, whether it will give
surplus after It's expenses are defrny
ed, or whether, like the exposition Of
1888, it will result in a money deficit.
The French Government estimates
the total cost at $40, 100000 100000, 900
francs), and accordingly a guarantee
fnndSsOr that amount has been brought
into existence.
The grand entrance to the expod-
tiOn OF 1900 will be off the Place de la
ConcOrde, close to the Seine, but there
will be a multitude Of other entrances
in the Champs Elysees the Champs
de Mars, and the EsplanAde des In
valides The exposition authorities
themselves do not know what will be
the most popular aud striking feature
ofths exposition, but it will doubtless
prove to be one of the following, all Of
them novel and attractive:
l. The street of modern Paris, runs
ming along the embankment from the
Place de la ConcOrde to the POnt de
= Alma. This will illustrate the art
and wit Of France and will contain
palaces of dancing, song, and all that
is refined iB the curiosItIes of Paris.
The directors OF the Opera and an
other leading Paris theatre are en-
gagged upon It's elaboration.
2. NJ. DelOncle's telescope, bring
ing the moons surface apparently
within 20 kilometres ,25 milesl Of the
spectator.
3. A city OF gold, near the Trooa-
dero, showing every detail OF gold pro-
duotion, with CaIifOrnion miners and
models OF the mines.
4. A g gantic turning palace, or
revolving tower, 100 yards high snd
lighted throughout by electricity.
8. The gradd and lttIle palaces Of
the fine arts of all natIons.
6. The pavilion of the press, and
those Of the special commissioners
which will be scattered over the area.
Z. An enormous terrestrial globe
by the famous French geographer, M
Reclus, placed, owing to ITS size, out
side the exposition proper.
s. Palace of the army and navy
and palace of food, or alimentation !.
While the authorities are in doubt
as to what VIII be the most popular
feature Of the exposition there is no
doubt in the minds OF the authorities

The Time Has Passed

ssWhen it was necessary to pay
5000 for a good piano-if you buy
from Werlein. The house of Werlein
has done more to cut down the enor-
nous price it used to be necessary to
pay for a piano, than any in the
world. On the face of it, their posi-
ton is an odd one; being the Oldest
house, it would seem that it would be
the last to make SO radical an innova-
ton. Today, however, it IS amatter
Of fact that Philip Werlein, Limited,
of New Orleans, stands as the great
