servatory; the Chamber Of Deputies; the Hotel des Invalides with its mu- scum of Artillery; the tomb of Ma poleon I; the great Salpetriere hos pital; the factory of the Gobelins; the Odeon theater; and the Jardin des Plantes are among the more celebrat- ed institutions on the south bank of the Seine.
 Ruins of Roman Baths.
 The Hotel Cluny, an old mansion containing large collections of mediae- val objects, laces and carriages, is built on the site of the Palace of the Frankish kings and shows ruins of Roman baths.
 On the right bank of the Seine lies the magnificent open space known as the Place de la Concorde containing the monuments to the four free cities of France and one of Cleopatra s needles which stands on the same spot where the old guillotine stood in the days of the Revolution.
 Running through the Place de la Concorde is the broad tree-lined Champs Elysees on both sides ot which is a solid line of captured Ger man artillery. Near here is the Ely see Palace, where the President re- sides and the Garden or the Tuilleries, royal place destroyed during the Commune in 1871. These wonderful gardens extend to the Louvre, one of the most beautiful places in the world which was at first a fortress and later rebuilt by Francis I in 1541. It contains priceless treasures of art. both paintings and sculpture.
 Social Life on RouleVards.
 The social life of Paris and much of its business is located about the grand boulevards, broad tree-shaded avenues which girdle the older part of the city formerly defined by the great stone wall surrounding the early limits of the city.
 Two triumphal arches, erected by Louis XIV, the Porte St. Martin and Porte St. Dennis, divide the stream or traffic on the busiest of these boule- wards and in their vicinity are the Madeline, a church fashioned like a Greek temple, and the magnificent opera on the Place de la Opera, cele brated alike for its music, its archi- lecture and for it's museum of dra- matic history.
 Here are the Palais Royal, built by Cardinal Richelieu, the scene of many notable gatherings of historical per sonages and containing the Theatre Franchise; the Hotel de Vile, a repro duction of the one burned in 1871, and more beautifully decorated than the original; the national library of over 2,500,000 books and considered the richest library of the world as regards old books and old and modern bind ings.
 In this section also is the Bourse; the quaint little church Of St. Ger main rAuxerrois, dating from the thir- teenth century, from whose belfry sounded the signal for the massacre of the Etuguenots of France on St. Bartholomew's Day; and the curious tower of St. Jacques, which is just a fragment of an ancient Roman church One of the ever interesting sights in this section is the great Halles Gen. trales, the thousands of little market stalls of the vegetable and fruit ven ders.
 Napoleon's TriumphaI Arch.
 There are numerous columns, monu- ments and triumphal arches, the larg est of which is the Arc de Triomphe de PEtoile commended by Napoleon l, various events in the turbulent history of France.
 The Palace of the Trocadero, erect ed for the Universal Exhibition of 1878, has hall capable of holding 5000 spectators and just across the Seine is the Eiffel tower, used during the. war as a wireless station, and noted as the highest structure in the world, reaching height of 9S4 feet.
 There are dozens of churches in the city noted for age, architecture or decoration, but the most prominent is the church of the Sacre Occur, which stands alone on the top of Montmartre and commands view of the, whole capital. It is modern and as yet un- finished, forming vast basilica in the Roman style, with a Bysantine dome 372 feet high.
 The Bois de Boulogne is a great park in the city affording a fashiona- ble driving place and promenade. Other great parks include the grounds dOout lHS pdldCe OI Sl. ClOuQ, Cnan- ! lilly and the more distant Fontaine- [ Dleau and Versailles. City Founded by Small GaIIic Tribe. !
 Paris was the ancient capital of small Gallis tribe, the Parish; was the ] capital of COnstantius Chlorus; was | ater made the capital of the Frank sh kindom by Clovis in sos; was rul- ed by counts under the Carlovinglans: became again the capital under the 1 Capetians; was largely developed un- Ter Philip Augustus and St Louis; vas the scene of a massacre in 1872, md was the scene of many of the eading events in the first revolution md in those of 1880 and 1S4S, as we'll IS during the Commune in 1871.
 Probably my most interesting ex- 'erience in Paris was during the first ew days afterd the Armistice was igned. Having previous knowledge hat the armistice was going to be igned, managed to arrive in Paris
