Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chefs-D'oeuvre, Vol. 10 For the amusement of the million visitors, and for the increasing of their general knowledge of the world in which they live and of the habits and customs of their fellow-mortals, past and present, other novel features have been provided, not unworthy the attention of the grave historian. For those interested in historical times, there is a restoration of some of the most celebrated streets and buildings of mediaeval Paris, and especially of the famous Cour des Miracles, so terrible and curious, as it stood in 1400; an Andalusia in the time of the Moors, and a palace of 'all known costumes; for those all of the present day, a possi bility of Venetian fetes, with real gondolas on alien lagoons; Pardons and local fetes of Brittany, Provence, Auvergne, and Poitou on the Esplanade des lnvalides, and, of course, a Rue du Caire. Among the familiar exhibits will be the Tower of Three Hundred Metres; and among the novel ones, a Combat Naval, in which iron - clads and torpedo-boats shall demonstrate the terrors of modern scientific warfare. And for a background for all, Paris, - which is still Paris, and probably will be when those overblown and vainglorious giants of the twentieth century, Russia, Germany, Greater Britain, and the United States, shall still come to visit her as a capital of all the Arts.
