have some startling innovation to present.
Upon 4 peace footing the French army con
sists Of about $4,000 men; the total war
strength Of the nation is figured at something
over 100000.
Were the armies cf France 10 invade Ger
many. England or Italy. they could be directed
by the Eifel Tower station far into those couu-
tries-to the capitals Of England and Germany,
did they succeed in getting that far.
But if the main duty were defense Of the
republics home territory, the wireless service
would probably be even better, as more or less
permanent stations could be erected along the
line Of frontier Notifications from which TO
communicate with Eiffel
When the new frontier line was drawn Oy
Germany after the war of 1870, it was
ranged that al the strongest positions should
ta4+on the German side of the line. Frances
hrst line of defense stands back from the
frontier, at Nerdun, Toul. Belfort and Besan-
con.
The defenses of Paris are fifty miles away
from the CITY, extending around 1t In a circle Of
Notifications so that an invading army-the
Germans, for example-even after overcoming
the first line of defense would have to break
through this inner ring.
For that reason there viii never be another
siege Of Paris IN the same sense as the last one.
Should an enemy get past the ffty-mile chain Of
forts there would be no other obstacle In march
ing upon the city.
Here, then, IS the necessity for a vigilant
war eye at the capital overlooking all the mill
tary area within the frontiers.

umns, each of which consists Of four smaller
columns, resting masonry piers.
Springing gracefully upward, the four
main columns curve toward each other until,
$40 feet above the surface, they Join in a single
column. Above this the long needle of the
tower rises 3G4 feet higher.
At 1S9 feet. at $50 feet and again at 906
feet there are platforms which are reached by
elevators, as well as by stairs.
From the highest platform a winding stair
way climbs to the very pinnacle of the strUc-
ture, but this part has never been open to the
public.
When these different platforms are con
verted into airshIp stations, the French WILL IN
deed, possess a novelty Of which they may be
proud.
They are daring enough to attempt almost
anything. \ few years ago the government set
tied, IN a startling way, = difference of opinion
between the Minister of Marine and the Naval
Board of Construction.
NJ. Pelletan. the Minister, thought modern
battleships were being made in too complicated
and delicate fashion. The maze of electrical
wires and other machinery upon which the
working of the turrets depended would be put
out of commission, he argued, By the impact of
a heavy shell.

"Well,' retorted the other authorities.
there is way 10 settle the matter; If you viii
order test we shall see who is right"
So, to the amazement OF France-of the
world in fact-the new battleship Suffren, pride
of the navy, was ordered out for the test; to be
fred upon by a sister ship.
Just outside the picturesque harbor Of
Brest she was anchored, her decks cleared for
action. To within a few hundred yards of her
steamed the big battleship Massena, which let
go, full ard fair at the other, with one of her
twelve-inch guns.
The great shell struck the Suffren's turret
squarely, rebounded, and burst into fragments.
a large black splotch appeared the turret-
that was all the damage apparent.
Whatever damage was done TO the mechan-

feL the tower was completed IN March, 1889, in
time to serve as one Of the notable features of
the exposition of that year. 1t was the leading
attraction of that big show, and has never since
ceased to draw visitors and coin.
1t cost considerably over $1,OOO,OOO to build
the tower. for which 1000 tons of metal were
used. Of the cost, $685. 900 was voted by the
government, while the engineer supplied the
rest. The profits for 1889 alone nearly paid the
cost.
Some idea Of its height-984 feet-may be
gained from a comparison with other structures
of the world. The Washington Monument, at
Washington, d. c., is 555 feet tall; the broad
brimmed hat Of William Penn, on Philadel-
phia's City Hall, is SAT feet above the pave
ment; the dome of St. Peters, In Rome, rises
to only AS feet, while the great pyramid of
Cheops Is but 4S6 feet high.
From the top of the Eifel Tower on a clear
day one can see about eighty-fve miles. At
night a searchlight from this eminence Slabs the
surrounding darkness.
