The tiniest scar upon the forehead can be

fact that patients can come and be oper-

The anti-cruelty associations of all
kinds are to hold a congress here in 1900,
and the meetings may, from present
plans, be held in one of the halls of the
exposition grounds, though possibly out
side. But the congress will be a part Of
the exposition and will rely upon the
visitors for an audience. The Audobons
are making the greatest effort to secure
an international law for the protection
of birds. They say it would be of no
avail to pass such a law in France only,
for birds would be sent from other coun-
tries. At the congress there will be socie-
ties for the prevention of cruelty to chill
dren and to animals, will all the issues of
the societies, such as the Audubon, the
cat protective leagues, and according to
latest reports, the Red Cross, which is
the most distinguished of all humane So
cleties. This congress will be the most
remarkable one ever held. Many poems
have been written to it already.
Paris is determined to Guido the Ferris
wheel, which was the most lasting
achievement Of the Worlds Fair along
amusement lines. 1t has invented no
end of freaks. the latest being a re-
volving umbrella. This is hoisted at the
top OF a large iron framework, in the
center of which an elevator rises from
the ground to the top of the umbrella.
Passengers are to be carried up in the
elevator and transferred to cars that
hang suspended from the tips of the ribs.
When the umbrella is set in motion it
turns. and the sightseers in the cars are
given a good look at the grounds.
Whether the revolving umbrella will
prove as popular as the Ferris invention
remains to be seen. The greatest inter-
est is taken in these freak Inventions.
and the instant a big space is cleared in
the grounds you can see the people of the
press and privileged sightseers crowding
around asking what is to go up.

Hotel men are stricken with panic over
the rapid progress made by the Metropol-
ltan Underground railway. By the OPEN
ing of the exposition this railway will be
nearly completed and s~uburbanites can
arrive on the grounds sooner than town
folks who travel on the surface. The ho-

thing they please must lower their rates
to compete with the very good boarding
places on the outskirts. 1t is said that
they have tried to delay the underground
railway, but this seems hardly possible
when one considers the state of the
streets. They resemble quarries with
stones ready for shipping, and Paris is
impossible. Many Of the best streets
have been closed for traffic, and small but
exclusive s~torekeepers are ruined. The
Rue de Rivoli is open where it intersects
the Rue Lavandieres Sainte Opportune.
and the flag which announced the fact
was greeted with smiles. The greatest
influence is being brought to bear for the
placing of an underground station in the
very heart of the gardens of the Tuileres.

present the only Tuileres station is the
