Paris Worst Flood.

In the year 1896 rose the greatest
food of which history makes any rec
ord in Paris. "Men went in boats over
the wall Of the kings garden" All
the island was covered. and from the
foot Of the hill of the university to
the rising ground beyond the Marrais
the upper stories of the houses rose
out Of lake mile wide. In that
food was swept away the old stone
bridge that Charles the Bald had built
centuries earlier, before even the Nor
mans besieged the town. and in that
food the Petit Chatelet was destroyed.
The Petit Pont fell into the river also.

''The commercial bodies of Honolulu
