A Forgotten Street.

A queer discovery has been made in
Paris in the shape of a street unin.
habited and ignored by all, says the
Paris Messenger. In the course OF the
work in progress for widening the
Rue Vaneau, this roadway-which it
would be incorrect to describe as a
considering that the ends
were blocked up-was discovered. 1t
had neither paving stones nor pave
ment, was two metres wide, and an
old inscription showed that it was
formerly called Rue dOlivet. 1t would
be useless to seek the name in a direc-
tory, for it is certain that until a few
days ago 10 one knew Of the existence
Of the Rue dOliYet. -
