Special Foreign Service
LONDON, March 11.-R. +. Stevens
calls attention to what has been done
to the Wellington monument in st.
PauPs cathedral, by which he says,
the most stately piece of work with
in the building is made to appear
ridiculous by the addition of twelve
little lions, all exactly similar, and
from the very absurdity of their posi-
ton calling exclusive attention to
themselves. True, the lions and the
monument are alike the work of AL
bert Stevens, and the former are, in
their own way, it may be, as beautiful
as the latter, but they were designed
by him with an altogether different
object, namely, for the railing in front
of the British museum, for which pur-
pose they were admirably suited. Who
has placed them where they now are
constitutes an affront to Albert Ste
vens' memory in the eyes of all who
have appreciation for the fitness Of
things, the thus 'embellished' monu-
ment appears scarcely less absurd in
its incongruity. than if one were
to wear a cooked hat with a High

estes that before many years have

take their seats in them as natural as
their grandfathers did in the first rail-
way carriages. Paris will be trans
formed by aerial stations at which pas
sengers will alight and embark on fly
ing machines. Winged warShips will
menace modern fleets and wage war
with MISUNDERSTANDING put whole
armies to flight Very possibly some
bold explorer will reach the north pole
without much difficulty in a dirigible
balloon. What would you say" adds
NJ. Santos Dumont. IF 1 told you that
next summer, 1 am confident of giving
a new impulse to aerial navigation;
that 1 myself hope to be able, be-
fore ending my experiences, to cruise
over Europe, for a week at a time
without descending to earth-in a yacht
that will be in itself a flying house?"

PARIS, March I'm Loubet has
just completed his sixth year of office
as president of the republic. Felix
Faure died on Feb. 16, 1899, and two
days later his successor was elected
by the senate and chamber assembled
in congress at Versailles. NJ. Loubet
has already allowed it to be clearly
understood that he will not stand for
the presidency a second time. The
Petite Republique has obtained re-
newed confirmation of the presidents
intentions, which he is said TO have
expressed a-fresh a few days ago to
several members of parliament. In
fact, his son, NJ. Paul Loubet, is al
ready house, or. rather, fiat hunting
with a view to his fathers retirement
at the expiration of his legal tenure OF
office. NJ. Loubet will remain in Paris
a year or two, until his younger son
Emiles education is further advanced,
after which he will settle finally at La
Begude de MaZenc, where he looks
forward to a life of repose and simple
relaXations - farming, shooting, driV-
ing, intercourse with his fellow coun-
trymen. and long walks in the early
morning. But the president is as firm
ly determined to remain at his post to
the end of his seven years as he is not
to accept second nomination He
will not, therefore, retire before Feb
