THE SEWERS OF PARIS.
A Pleasure Trip Under the Streets of the
f
Gay Metropolis.
Excursions under Paris form one of tho
features in the movement for the benefit
the sufferers from the recent flixxls in France,
and the gorgeous aewe.-s are liberally patron
ized by the fashionable world. A reporter
of The Gil Blas gives this description:
“We started from the Place Chatelet at 3
o’clock an 1 descended a little winding stair
case, tho steps and walls of which were cov
ered with a green cloth fringed by a red bor
der. There is not the slightest danger vf soil
ing your clothes or of encountering the
slightest disagreeable odor. On arriving nt
the foot of the stairs a fine display of fruits
and vegetables was the first thing to greet
our eyes. These products were from Gonne-
villiers, and wore grown in gardens that are
watered by the sowers. We got into a
wagon, in which were seats for twenty per
sons. Off we went, shoved along by solid
looking fellows, all neatly dressed. AI kjvo
us was a muss of tubes and pipes. They are
the water pipes, tho two largest containing
our drinking water from the Vaune and
the water of the Ourcq, whi»h is used for
washing the streets and sidewalks. Then
there are the pneumatic tubes, in which we
can hear tho rattle of the dfaqiateb boxes as
they shoot along.
“Suddenly we heard the passengers In the
wagon ahead of us uttering cries of admira
tion. We were under the Rue de Rivoli, but
noon we reached the crossing of the Rue du
Pont Neuf. This tunnel is lighted from end
to end with garlands of colored lamps. The
effect is fairylike. The same effect is repro
duced under the Rue du Louvre, the Rue de
Richelieu and tho Place des Pyramided, where
