THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON THE EVENING STAR. WAS HINGTON: TRURSDAY.. and as an Advertising Medium is werth more than all the other papers published in w One of the great charms o? Parisian arch- itecture is the conformation of the style and height of buildings to exch other and to the width of the streets upon wiich they are uated. This is of course the result of manici- pal law, which is rigidly enforced im all cases Nothing is left to the juigr or taste of sub- ordinate official. The ord.nance requires that the height of chimneys and the height and piteh of roofs shall be within certain prescribed mits, according to the width of the strectand the height of the building itself, and it does not permit aman to -ut upastructure after his own fancy alone, and without regard to the character and purpose of other buildings in the neighborhood. Neither may he build it of any material or in any style he may choose, regardless of its effect upon the market value of adjoining property. French law recognizes the principle that the rights of the community are affected by every act of the citizen, and these rights are jealously guarded at every point. Thus the detailed plans and elevations of every building proposed to be erected in Paris must be submitted to the proper desig- nated authorities, who are both competent for their duties and vested with needed powers, and they see toit that itshall be in height, arrangement and general appearance snitable to its surroundings and the purpose for which it is intended,—not too high and ornate, nor yet too low and insignificant in treatment. Of course, durability and safety against fire are the primary objects in view, but symmetry and proper architectural effects are looked after quite ascarefully. The result every visitor to Paris sees, without perhaps understanding just how it is secured. Asa matter of some interest to readers of Tur Sram the substance of some of the legal requirements above referred to are given. Re- ducing the French metre of measurement to our feet and inches, a building in the French capital may not exceed 35.37 feet in height on @ street less than 25.58 feet wide; not over 47.88 feet on a street between 25.58 and 31.98 feet wide; not over 57.56 on a street 31.98 feet wide and over, Onastreets 65.60 feet wide and over the height may be carried to 65.50 feet, but in no case shall a private building contain more than six stories, including the entresol. The minimum height of a story shall be 8.52 feet, and the projection of a cornice shall not ex- ceed the thickness of the wall at its summit. From the American point of view, which practically accords to every body the right to do pretty much ashe or she pleases, without regard to the effect upon others, some of these regulations seem to be arbitrary and nnneces- sary, or at least not suited to the conditions of life existing in this country. It will not be pre- tended that, as a whole, they would be appli- cable to Washington, with her broad avenues and her numerous parks, squares, circles, tri- angles, and other open spaces. Lut surely the ends they have in view are worthy the early and serious consideration of those who are re- sponsible for the future welfare and archi- tectaral appearance of the national capital. ‘The time is at hand, for example, for the adop- tion of a more comprebensive. intelligent and exact system of building regulations than the slip-shod sliding-seale code hitherto in oper- ation here, and they should be interpreted and enforced by an authority which has both the technical knowiedge and taste and the official power to secare the very best results in the directions above indicated. One step forward ought to be taken at once. Speculators and others desirous of immediate and enormous incomes from slight investments should be prevented from putting up low and unsightly shanties alongside of or between well-built biocks on wide and desirable streets and avenues. Not only are those who have made large investments in handsome buildings, calculated to improve and benefit the city, en- titled to this protection against assaults upon the value of their property, but the weifure and prosperity of the whele community would Le vastly promoted thereby. In this as in other matters affecting the public good, the “tastes” aud desires of the individual should be held secondary to the rights and interests of the many. ————————— Many of the suburbs of Washington are historic, Visitors are often shut up to a single mode of reaching these and other points of interest which surround the national capital In the nature of progress this state of things cannot continue. The peopie demand and will have thoroughfares to and from all places of Pleasure aad resort near their couatry’s politi- calcenter. Que of these places, the one of which the associations are more sacred than those of all others, is where the first President lived, died and was buried. The means of ac- cess to Mt. Vernon are notably inadequate, But this exclusion of the great mass of the public is not to last long, for the Virginia legis- lature has just chartered @ railway to run from the city of Washington, or, rather, the Virginia shore opposite to it. to the home of Washing- ton, and there is reason for expecting the early opening of the new route, — ‘The grip has been traced by the London Times with reasonable certainty to eastern Asia and the floots, followed by famine and melaria, which occurred in the Hoang-Ho or Yellow river of China two yearsago, Similar outbreaks of in‘iuenza have originated in the game region from the same cause, or at least the disease has spread west through Siberia just after overflows of Chinese rivers which produced famine and fevers, The great streams of the Celestial empire support a teeming pop- ulation, and when the mud deposits destroy the rice crops and breed malaria the people die by bundreds of thousands and epidemic makes ite career of conquest westward just as the ancient Scythians did. Until China and other Oriental countrics receive our science and put in practice modern notions of sanitation there fsuo preventive means that can stay the pro- | gress of the red, black and other deaths that | issue from that cradle of destruction. All that | can be done is to lessen the evil by proper treatment and quarantine closely agaiast the Geadlier pestilences. oo The Chicago Nes speaks of “Washington's World fair project” The Nes errs in its use | of words. Itis thinking of its own city’s re- | lution to the fair. As it would have it, it wou! ay be “Chicago's world’s fair project in Wash- | ington it would be the uation’s world’s fair pro- Ject, and that is what the fair was intended to be aud what it should be, __——— One point in defense of Secretary Windom’s silver bill is not commonly borne in mind by the monometaliats in their ssauits upon the measure, The chutce is betwoen this bill, with | its total repeal of the provision for silver coinage to t of two millions moutbly in existing law, aud the contention of the sil- ver men for at lexst tour millions per month, if they cannot s.cure free coimage.
