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!"
