SS^ira at? ^au%0it WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1885. THE PARIS EXHIBITION OF 1900. Everything Will Be Don? Upon a Grand and Immense Scale. In the Revue des Deux Mondes is a preliminary survey of the forthcoming cosmopolitan exhibition of 1900. It will be held on the Champs de Mars, a great open space on the south? west extremity of Paris, already con? secrated by the presence of many simi? lar fairs. The French government sent out their first announcement of the scheme on July 13, 1S92, and last summer the chamber of deputies voted a prelim? inary grant for the expenses connected withea "best plan competition." The Champs Elysees will be considered part of the exhibition, and there is even a talk of including the immense square "fc front of the Invalides. Indeed, the jcheme of construction provides* for a broad bridge which will join in per? manent fashion the Champs Elysees to the quay which runs on the riverside of Napoleon's historic resting place. Architects, artists and builders were invited to send in plans and ideas. Every kind of liberty, in theory, was allowed to those who took part' in this curious competition. Thus the best scheme did not necessarily require the retention of the Eiffel tower or any other of the old exhibition buildings, with the notable exception, however, of the Trocadero. Everything will be done on an immense scale and if the ideas which at present prevail among its promoters are carried . out the exhibition of 1900 will gradually absorb the whole of Paris, and even far off Vincennes will be utilized for all that concerns athletic sports, interna? tional-matches and Olympian games. As is natural, a great point will be made of anything relating to the past cen? tury, and the exhibition will be in more senses than one a centennial exposition. The army and navy sections will be of very great interest. After a period of four months those who had entered their names as being willing and anxious to enter the exhi? bition plan competition were told to send in their schemes. No one compet? itor fulfilled all the conditions, so something will be taken from each of the eighteen best sets of plans and sug? gestions sent in. . The Seine will play a prominent role in the esthetic side of the exhibition, for it is proposed to recon? stitute on its left bank a portion of the Grand canal, Venice. FOND OF THE MELODRAMATIC. Dicka ns' Works Plentifully Sprinkled with Situations Suitable for Stase. It is curious what a penchant Dickens had for certain melodramatic situations, which seemed to his fancy so telling that he repeated and reproduced them many times over. He had a lively dra? matic turn, says a writer in the Gen? tlemen's Magazine, and I always thought would have had extraordinary success as a dramatist. I once asked him why he had not taken up this "line" seriously, and I think he made the excuse-it was long ago, many years before his death-that he had not time, taste or patience. The real rea? son, no doubt, was that he could not work without expanding, and could not "carve heads upon a cherry stone." A literary friend, who has his "Boz" at his fingers' ends, has with great acuf e ness pointed out to me that Nicholas Nicklcby was a genuine "Adelphi walk? ing gentleman;" his manner, heroic bursts, protection of his sister, beard? ing of Ralph, etc., were ail elements in the Adelphi melodrama. Ralph was a regular stage villain. That his works are all dramatic and conceited in the true spirit of the stage is plain from the vast list of a>dapU: fions. Each story has been adapted again and again, and will bear the process admirably. One method for winding up his plot, to which he was excessively partial, was the TmTng.glrfng of the villain owing to the betrayal of some confederate. The parties are generally brought together in a room by the more virtuous mern bers; the confederate then emerges from his concealment and tells a long story of villainy. We have this denoue? ment first in "Oliver Twist," where Monks makes his revelations. In "Nickleby" Ralph is confronted with the man Snawley and Squeers. In the **01d Curiosity Shop" Quilp is similarly exposed. In "Barnaby Rudge," Hare dale forces his herditary enemy to make revelations. In "Chuzzlewit," Jonas is confronted with another be? trayer. In "Copperfield," Uriah Heep is denounced and exposed by Mr. Mi? ca wbcr. In "Bleak House," Lady Ded lock is similarly tracked. In nearly ali the cases the guilty person goes off and commits suicide. According1 to Season. Few people realize the necessity ol varying the clothing according to" the temperature, and many a woman wears a sealskin sacque or a heavy wrap in weather which demands nothing warm? er than a coat of light cloth. It was the duke of Wellington who was cred? ited with possessing fourteen overcoats, from which he selected each day the one best suited to the prevailing tem? perature, and perhaps his carefulness in this matter had much to do with the fact that he lived to the advanced age of eighty-four. How He Kept Her nome. "We don't see much of Gretcher since her marriage." "Fact. 1 laid eves on her yesterday for the first time since she became a bride, and that's nea riv a year ago, isn't it." "Yes. They do say Tom is terribly jealous." "Well he has bought her twenty-two wrappers, and only one street dress!" Life. _ " _ Say! You Bee-Keeper!
