side of the Avenue des Champs
Elysees, has only recently been
opened. If this proves as popular as is
expected other such tunnels will be
constructed under other busy tsreets.
notably the grand boulevards.
The parkway known as the Champs
Elysees, or Elysian Fields, was laid
out near the end of the seventeenth
century. II was called the Grand
Cours at first and was given it's pres
ent name in the time of Louis XVI
The avenue itself is more than a mile
long and is lined from the Place de la
Concorde 10 the Arc de Triomphe,
with pine, lime and chestnut trees.
The promenade is the favorite after
noon drive of the fashionable world
of Paris and it is there that the
badaud, or French cockney, is seen
to perfection. On one side is a park
$50 yards long and 40 wide, which is
filed with cafes chantants and such
amusements and amusement-proyiders
for children as jugglers, marionettes,
merry-go-rounds and chocolate ven
ders. Here idolizing parents stand
for hours watching their petit bon
hommes caracolling on wooden horses.
while la bonnie, in a snowy cap, holds
the babies.
At night the thoroughfare, brilliant.
ly illuminated. offers a vivid sugges.
ton of fairyland.
The Avenues des Champs Elysees is
one of the lungs" of Paris. At each
end and all about it are places of i'm
portance in the, life and history of the
city and the state. 1t almost skirts
the River Seine, the Grand Palais and
the Petit Palais. where there are great
art exhibitions, separating the park
from the quays at one point. An
avenue starting at the Champs
Elysees. between the two buildings,
crosses the river on the beautiful Pont
Alexandra III. and leads to Napoleon's
tomb.
On the opposite side of the Champs
Elysees is the Palais de rElysees, the
official residence of the president of
France. 1t was once the home of

and the leading-in wire should be
brought out through small holes drilled
in the cover for that purpose. Each
wire should be brought through sep

tiles of a short circuit; and wherever
there are live metal parts care should
be taken to insulate them, as 1t is

GREAT AVENUE SAFE.

Famous Champs EIysees.
Not Even Philharmonic Palace viii
Be Tolerated on Proud Paris Thor
oughfare and ChiIdren's Para
disc Along Its Course.

Paris.-The probability that the
Champs Elysees, the noblest avenue
in the world. will always be preserved
as an artistic promenade and a chill
dren's paradise has been strengthened
by action just taken by the municipal
council of Paris. The council not
only refused to grant a permit for the
construction of Philharmonic palace
on the site of the now defunct sum-
mer circus, but voted to investigate
concessions previously granted, look
ing to the removal of some of the
music halls and restaurants now -four
ishing there.
This official action is in keeping
with the true Partisan spirit. The one
occasion on which the Frenchman
looses his pursestrings without MUIR
muir is when an expenditure for mu-
nicipal establishment is proposed.
NO other city watches over the beauty
OF Its boulevards and parks with such
Jealous care. Succeeding municipal
administrations differ widely on all
other points, but, whether the govern
ment is nationalist or socialist, its
first aim is invariably to maintain in
tact the artistic inheritance of Eu-
ropes most beautiful capital.
There was almost revolt, IL years
ago, when tramway company asked
concession for a track across the
ave4ue in a side street. This right
was finally bestowed but had the
council granted a subsequent appli-
cation for a track along the Champs
Elysees itself the lives of the city
legislators would have been threat
ened by an aroused populace.
The single track across the drive
way has always been regarded as a
scar. 1t is not improbable that in
few years the tramway company
will be required to construct a tun-
mel beneath the surface of the street
1t is by underground passages that
the city already is proposing to handle
the foot traffic without interfering
with the perpetual stream of vehicles
or marring the beauty of the thor
oughfare through the construction of
viaducts. The first of these subter.

When prominent men realize the in

are glad to lend their testimony for

The whole family liked it so well, that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very anx-
ious concerning my mothers condition,
but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest Of us.

lators." They have nothing to do
with moving the torpedo boat but
regulate the maneuvers aboard. The
fourth compartment contains the Pc
troleum motor. According to M.
Gavot, with a motor of 200 horse
power the rate of 20 knots can be
easily attained. At the end of the
hull there is the reversible copper pro-
peller. permitting the machine to run
either forward or backward.
The strange craft was slid down
into the Seine on gently sloping rails
and submerged to the upper COM
partment. On a small motorboat 100
yards on was the transmitter, with NJ.
Gavet at the key. Under the eyes
of an astonished group of army off,

men, obeying the invisible current
waves transmitted from the launch.
the motor Of the torpedo boat went
or stopped or desired. Under this
same mysterious influence at the will
of the man sitting in the launch, the
rudder turned slowly to right or left.
All the parts of the deadly machine
obeyed his WILL
But 1t does not suffice to direct a
torpedo boat" said NJ. Gavot. "One
must know also what is passing in
side. For that reason the lights un-
dergo eclipses, which reveal to the
operator placed on the shore the ma
ture of the command received by the
torpedo boat. He is then informed a
couple of seconds ahead when such
and such a maneuver is going to be
made. and, thanks to this optical con-
troll he can interfere to correct an
error which may have been communi-
Gated to annul a disturbing wave. as,
for example, from an enemy" So all
is provided to direct the torpedo sure
ly and with the utmost accuracy
towards its giant adversary-the bat
tleship.
An engine such as this" continued
NJ. Gavot, can open a breach of so
square yards in the hull of bat

The objection was raised that the
new torpedo was a most complicated
instrument and every time the cone
landed falsely 1t destroyed in itself

In less than a month the official
trials are to be given on the high
seas, with the torpedo from three to
four miles distant from the operator.
