Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
PARIS, January "a, 1900.
Those who regret that the exposition of
1890 promises no great picturesque clou
like the Eiffel tower or the Ferris wheel
forget the underground railways. And as
Parisians themselves are ignorant of the
immense works going on beneath their feet
it is not strange that the outside world
makes small account of them. Yet, in COM
parison. the Eiffel tower is a poor thing:
while the rapid transit that is to assure the
exposition crowds their safety, ease and
tranquility is nothing less than one of the
first fruits of the new century of wonders.
The most remarkable thing about the
work is that it is almost invisible. My fifth
floor apartment overlooks the Avenue of
the Champs Elysees, and from my balcony

will make it easy to see how the great cave
in at the Eto1le was possible. One Sunday
morning last month the inhabitants heard
an awful rumbling, followed by deafen-
ing explosion. Those near the Arc de Tri-
omphe saw a small triangular public park
with all its trees and ornamental bushes
disappear into the earth. A section of the
roadway followed half burying a dozen
pedestrians; then a pillar of flaming gas
shot up to a height of thirty feet and stay
ed there. blazing like an oil we'll. This ac-
cident. which ought not to have happened,
was not due to any defect in the engineer
ing work. but simply to a misplaced seeking
for economy.

All these lines are practically finished and
promise to be in full operation during the
exposition. Their greatest blessing, to the
tourist even. will be to open hitherto in
accessible Paris suburbs such the ro-
mantle, unspoiied towns along the Orleans
route, for fifteen miles outside the capital.
The Versailles side is better known to
Americans and will always remain ex-
pensive. Nevertheless, those contemplating
will do well to keep the suburban idea in
mind.
Will Work Great Changes.
Among the Parisians themselves there is
an extraordinary movement. Frightened at
the prospect of a six months turmoil,
six months of high prices and general
scarcity; dazzled also by the promise of
unusual profits, thousands of families have
prepared to rent their flats out ready fur
nished and take up their residence in the
peace and plenty to be found only beyond
the Notifications. 1t is a movement that
cannot but have a far-reaching influence
on the Partisan life, already so changed
by the new craze for sport" What the BIZ
cycle began the automobile is bound to COM
plete, and the new love of the country has
a terrible real estate slump in store for
the gay capital when once the exposition
closes. The municipality has long feared
such a movement. Even workingmen's
trains were discouraged. Now the end has
come, and Paris, pierced on all sides by
underground extensions. by the Metropoli-
