boxes. each containing two turnstiles.

we find ourselves in a beautiful gar
den, with flowers of the season in full
bloom, ana little greenhouses scat
tered about the grounds.
We soon came to the Avenue
Nicholas II. and turning to the right
we have on our left the Grand Palais
and opposite the Petit Palais. each
hlled with art treasures, the latter
dedicated to retrospective French art
from the earliest days of the COM
mencement of the century. The
Grand Palias is the art history of the
18th century, and here French and
foreign art, both in painting and statu-
airy, are grouped together, making this
exhibit a most pleasing and instructive
one Tor all lovers of art. Facing about
now we find the bridge Alexander III
Just before us, and the Esplanade des
lnvaiides stretching way on the other
SIDE OF the Seine, the vista closed by
the grand historic pile, which gives tho
name to this broad avenue in tronc.
turning now to the walk viii n we
commenced when we entered the
grounds, and following alone the north
Dank OF the river, we soon reach the
section known as the Rue de Paris
embracing II at portion Of the bank of
the Sette lying between the Poias des
lnValides and the Pont de rAlma. On
one side of the avenue is tho pavilion
OF the city of Paris. every department
of municipal life illustrated in an I'M
mense building, its architecture not
unlike the hotel de Vile. Next comes
the palace of orticulture and arbori-
culture filled with the rarest flowers
and shrubs which France can fu' hish.
The next building is the congress hall

posite these buildings we have men,
toned, in q shaded avenue separating
them, are all sorts of shows so neces-
sary to cater to the Partisan appetite.
Next comes street of old Paris In
which one sees in walk of thousand
feet, reproductions of an old church,
an old tower. old houses with quaint
gables, in fact an interesting repro
duction of medieval Paris. with many
of the costumes which you would have
met with in the 18th century. Taking
leave of old Paris we come to the gar
dens of the Trocadero, fronting the
beautiful building and covering large
space on both sides of the broad ave-
nue. which by the bridge Pont de Jena,
connects with the Champs de Mars,
and the south side of the Seine.
There are nearly so buildings over
which float the flags of all nations.
The French and English colonies are
well represented, and the whole day,
yes week, could be profitably spent
in this section of the exposition alone.
The whole world literally meets here
and all in peace.
An international exposition is worth
dozen peace congresses. China and
Russia, England and the TransvaaI,
the United States and Spain, all jostle
each other in friendly mood on these
few acres. The exhibits contained in
these various buildings are most inter
esting. and in variety and number they
are bewildering. The buildings are
themselves types of architecture,
peculiar to the countries they repre-
sent, and the national costumes of
those who are here to represent the
different countries. These features
fascinate you, as you move about in
this miniature world, and in day here
you can easily imagine that you have
made the Tour du monde"
Algeria takes the place OF honor
among the French colonies, and not
one question could you ask regarding
Algeria which could not be answered
by study of the exhibits in the two
large buildings which represent that
colony. Tunis, too, has a most inter

that port, and setting aside the inter
esting surroundings in which the city
is set, can hardly think OF anything
of special or characteristic interest in
the old city near Carthage which you
would not see In this reproduction at
