GOLD PARIS, AT THE FAIR.
Recoastruction Of the City Of the Sew.
enteenth Century m Inter.
estIng Feature.

One Of the most interesting of the
private enterprises at the exposition in
Paris in 1900 will be the reconstruction
of "Old Paris" Already the turrets.
gables and scaffoliing reveal the gen.
eral ensemble of the several historical
Quarters" and buildings of the Paris
of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turtles.
The idea is to reproduce streets of the
time of Louis XIII. and XIV. and to
people them with the costumes and
dresses of the period. The ''Old Paris"
will be built on piles and will extend on
the Seine from the Alma bridge to the
Jena bridge on q surface. part concrete
and part wood, of 10000 square feet.
with frontage ON the river of $50 feet.
The part of the ''Old Paris" imme-
diately over the Seine wiil besupported
by 900 pixies ct height Of 1sfeet above
high water mark. The principal en-.
trance will be OF the Alma bridge. 1t
will be . reproduction of the old st.
Michael gate. Past the st. Michael gate
the traveller will come to a square, the
famous Pre-aux-Clercs, the meeting
place Of the duelists ofthe time of Louis
VIII. On the Pre-aux-Clercs to the left
will be the monastery of Chartreuse du
Luxembourg. founded by st. Louis and
destroyed during the revolution. I'm
mediately opposite will be the three
steepled edifice of the Parloir-aux.
Bourgeois, the city hall of the middle
age. and little farther on is tower
of the old Louvre.
From each side of the -Clercs
q street will lead to a second square,
where the Cluny cloister will be found,
together with the Pilon of st. German
des Pres and various other picturesque,
old-time edifices. In one of these,
called the Poets Garrett" a theater
will be built, where old-time plays will
be acted.
The two streets will be known as the
Rue des Ramparts and the Rue des
Vieilles-Ecoles. The last named will
contain a number Of famous houses,
among others the paper hanging shop
of Poquelin, where Moliere was born:
the house of Nicolas Flannel. that of
Renandot. and that of the |
Etienne. A third square. the Place st. |
Pulien. will have on one side the little |
of ST. Julien des Menetiers and |
on the other the old and beautiful
chamber of accounts, built in the six
teenth century and burned in the
eighteenth. Behind the chamber of ac-
counts will be the Grand Cour de Paris, /
On which will face some famous private
residences of old Paris, such as the
Hotel des Ursius. the Hotel Coligny and
the famous Pont au Change, destroyed
BY fire in 1921, and the prison of the
Grand Chatelet. where they will serve
beer and sandwiches. instead of water
