Interior of the Bust Will BE Hol-
low and Will Contain an Exact
Reproduction of the French
Emperor's Tomb in the
Hotel Des Invalides
at Paris.

One of the oldest concessions which have
been applied for at the Worlds Fair Is
for the erection of a great bust of Ma
poleon, the inside of which will be used for
amusement and entertainment features.
NJ. de Ribero. the concessionaire who
originated the idea, claims for it absolute
originality. He says nothing of the kind
has ever been produced at any exposi-
ton, either in outward shape or interior
decoration and entertainment.
From the level of the pike on which
Mr.. de Ribero hopes to locate his conces-
sion. to the top Of Napoleon's head will be
a distance of 100 feet. The structure ON
which the bust rests will be 100 feet long.
The even 100 feet in these dimensions is
not a mere coincidence or accident. As
the Exposition commentaries one
hundredth anniversary, the drawer of the
design wished to get 100 in as often as
possible.
The colossal bust will be constructed of
wood, iron and staff. 1t represents Ma
poleon as he looked when First Consul of
France. Mr. de Ribero claims that he
will be able to produce an exact likeness.
in spite of the great size of the head and
features.
The first story. or structure on which
the bust proper will rest. will present an
artistic and highly ornate facade. Its CEN
ter will be pierced by monumental en-
trance, decorated with mural paintings.
Inside the structure will be concert
