the grandest gallery or art in the
world.
The Place de la Concorde. the finest
public square in the world, with its
fountains and statues and the obelisk
in the center. was but a waste irreg-
ular space until the reign of Louis
XIV. The Champs Elysees or Elysian
Fields. the superb avenue with prom
enades and groves running at the
sides, was formerly covered with little
unsightly detached houses and small
gardens and irregular meadows. The
new Halles Centralle are the most
magnificent and comprehensive city
markets in existence. There are ten
pavilions. each 12OX10O feet Garden
produce, fish, poultry, game, butter,
cheese, fowls, butchers meat are sold
here. The roofs Of the pavilians rest
upon 900 cast iron columns 10 meters
in height and connected by dwarf
walls of brick.
The rest Of the space up to the
arches is closed with blinds of ground
glass plates; the roofing is of zinc
with large skylights over the smooth
paved carriageways The cellars un-
foreground are a revelation. Three
parallel lines of tramways extend
from these cellars to a tunnel under
the Boulevard Sebastopol, which COM
municates with the Chemin de Fer de
Ceinture. or circular railway ring
ing the city Of Paris.
one of the greatest sights in the
world is to visit the halles at o'clock
in the morning and see the owners of
the 100000 truck farms beyond the
environs of Paris bringing in their
fowls and vegetables and butter and
milk. upon which the Parisians will
later regale themselves.
The pavilions are surrounded by
broad boot pavements planted in
beautiful trees. Also there is the
Marche du Plain, or broad pavilion,
daily supplied by bakers from the en-
virons. These bakers are allowed TO
sell their bread here on condition of
it being cheaper than that sold by
the bakers of Paris.
The total cost of this city market
and the appurtenances was 100000
francs. over and above the cost of
249 houses of all sizes and Shapes,
from beautiful to ramshackle, pulIeu
down to make way for the ideal spot
upon which beauty has been weeded

The cost of removing these Z4'
houses was only 100000 francs-but
