Famous Resting Place of the Great
Dead of France.

In the center of the most populous
and hardest working part of Paris lies
Pere-la- -Chaise, the city of the dead.
All fetes of the faubourg beat against
the walls of this spot, which has its
own fete twice a year. Within less than
century this cemetery has become
the abode of Mt least 100000 dead 1t
formerly formed part Of the domains
of the bishopric of Paris under the
name Champ Leveque. Under LoUis
NV. it was known at Mont Louis. AT
last, May 81, 1904, the official opening
OF the new metropolis took place.
The white mausoleums among the
green trees remind the visitor of an
oriental city, but it is estimated that In
twenty years there will not be space
enough for one lone dead man A cal
culation has been made which would,
point to the fact that the sum of $780,
100000 is represented in these last
sleeping places of man. Even though
the French may not always be grateful
during the life of their illustrious chill
dren, there is mighty attempt after
death to prove appreciation. Among
the famous men who are today lying
calm and beloved in Pere- la Chaise are
Rossini, Bellini, Chopin, members of
the famous Carnot family, Moliere, La
Fontaine, DelacroiK and Balzac.
Here the tomb Of Heloise and Abe
lard is visited continually by large num-
bers of pilgrims, and there is never an
end to the sentiment around the Gothic
monument rising from the bright hued
geraniums and roses. Notwithstanding
the iron railing, many lover carries
from the hallowed spot petal blown
across by the obliging breeze. Except
for one section, where considerable
number of artists and authors, brothers
In beauty and inspiration, are grouped,
the tombs succeed each other without
much order. There is a single monu-
ment erected by the state to the SOL
diers killed in the siege of Paris.

transatlantic liner although the hull
of the average modern steamer Is big

violence of the sea, the machinery to
drive the enlarged hulls has been in

the size of the engines there has fol

of means to overcome the influence of

that by even swinging a patient in

"The first day at sea in this ship on
her maiden voyage l had occasion to

Who blew open the safe and escaped,
has been found by two children who
we're searching for trailing arbuius on
the slope Of a hill near this town
Nelson and Mary Barton, seven and
u years old respectively, started ont
alter school hours to search for May
lowers. On the hill they found a piece
of leather strap back OF "a boulder
and among the decayed leaves. Pull
ing on the strap they drew out a regu-
laton United States mail bag. On
looking further they found two record
books of the Proctor postofiice, one a
registration book. All were in good

The children notified their lther,
