sents.
Many of these figures are stupen-
dous. Huge as they are they repre-
sent merely the brick and mortar
value of each building and monument,
AS IT," to quote the official report.
there were a question Of construct
ing them at the present day, without
taking into account the value of the
site" Nor, it might be added. OF the
priceless value Of the contents OF the
buildings.
AS a result of this inventory, the
whole value of the national monu-
ments-from the Louvre itself to the
least valuable one in the llst-the me-
mortal to Marshal Ney-is 1,795,245.-
49S francs. or roughly $359.O49,30O.
The most valuable item in the list Is
not the Louvre, but the famous for
mer royal palace at Versailles, which.
as a building alone, is worth over
$4,000. 900.
The Louvre and what is left Of the
Tuileries represents $56,874400 and
the famous Paris opera house. $1O,-
100000. One could, 1t seems, rebuild
the Pantheon for practically the same
figure, while the Luxembourg is worth
$1.025,0 900, and the Elysee palace, the
residence of the president Of Paris. q
paltry $4,000.
Not so long ago a Frenchwoman
millionaire desired to buy the Arc de

celebrate his victories, and under
which the Prussians marched into
Paris, and to remove 1t on the ground
that It interfered with the view from

PAVED STREETS IN 1000 3. C.
Babylon and Other Ancient cities
Took Marked interest In Good
Roads.

Chicago.-When or where the first
road was built is not knewn. Herodo-
tus speaks Of a gres. egyptian road
on which King Cheops employed 100.-
600 men for ten years. According to
the historian, this road was built OF
massive stone blocks ten feet deep
and lined on both sides with temples.
mausoleums, porticos and statues. The
streets of Babylon are said to have
been paved as early as 1000 B. c.. and
several well surfaced roads radiated
to neighboring cities. Carthage. be-
fore It's fall. was the center of high
ly developed road system. The an
cient Peruvians had a wonderful sys-
tenn of national roads connecting all
the principal parts of their empire.
Bridges were also built by the an
clients at a very early date. The Eu-
pirates. at Babylon. was crossed by a
stone bridge prior to 1000 B. c.. and 1t
is known that the Chinese built
bridges as public works as early at
1900 B. c.
The first definite and fully authentic
information concerning the systematic
construction and maintenance Of per-
manent roads comes to US from the
Romans. It Is generally understood
that the Romans learned the art of
road building from the Carthaginians.
However the construction Of their
great road was as perfect as that Of
any Of their later ones.
The first of the great Roman roads
was from Rome to Capua. distance
of 142 Italian miles, and vas begun
by Appius Claudius about 312 B. c.
II was known as the Appian Way or
Queen OF Roads" This road was Ia
ter extended to Brundisium, total of
$50 miles, and was probably completed
by julius Caesar. About 220 B. c. the
Flaminian Way was built. 1t crossed
the Mar river on a stone bridge which
had a central span Of $50 feet, with a
rise of 100 feet. When Rome reached
the height of her glory. under the
reign of Augustus, no less than %
great military roads radiated from
the city. More roads extended to every
part of the vast empire and are est.
mated to have a total length Of 10000
miles.
The Roman construction was In gen
eral extremely massive.

On COOKING Potatoes.

There are two simple ways Of max
ing potatoes taste twice as good. The
first is to add little sugar to the wa
ter in which they are boiled. This
imparts an appetizing flavor The sec
ond is to grease the potatoes intended
for baking before they are placed in
the oven. Ham fat or bacon are ex-
cellent for this purpose, though olive
oil could be used also. The gr"ase
keeps the skin from baking too hard
and the absorption gives a delicious
taste to the potato when done.
