Special rv>rr<osiv>ndence of The Star.
PARI:?. March 16. 190S.
YOt* might rail It "T?n Year?
After" It ends in the solemn
Pantheon of France.
It began with bloody- riots in
the streets of Paris. In Janu
aiy. 180&. the richest and moat popular
French novelist -wrote a short article of
3.000 -words thaf won him hatred In his
land, a year's prison, exile, the sale of
his household goods, with slander, loss
of friends and strife beyond expression.
He wrote it out of conscience, because
a French captain had been unfairly tried
and imprisoned on a charge of treason.
I refer to Fmile Zola and the Dreyfus
affair. Zola saw his article "J'accuse'"
tear France asunder, estrange families,
set the world on Are with generous enthusiasm.
But after years of obstruction
he did not see the true flowering of his
effort He died accidentally in 1902 by
suffocation from stove-coal gas. Only four
years later did the court of cassation proclaim
"reduced to nothingness" the
charges against Dreyfus?"nothing of
them all remains standing "
July 12. 1906. the highest court of France
gave this decision
July 13. lPOtl. when the army commission
unanimously adopted the reinstatement
of Picquart and Dreyfus. the
French parliament decreed that Zola's
body should be transferred to the Pantheon.
So many writers will tell you of Zola
that I wish to tell about the monument
of supreme honor where he is henceforth
to sleep between Jean Jacques nousseau
and Victor Hugo.
That the spot 1s already chosen is due
to the tender Insistence of Mme. Zola.
"I accept with gratitude the dazzling
honor to my husband's memory." she
said last week "As to the ceremony,
it is the right of the government to decide
all I have but one request to make.
It Is essential. I beg that the sepulclvr
In the crvpt of the Pantheon be absolute,
ly ready before April 2, the date of the
transfer.
"It would he painful to me." Mnie
Zola explained, "if the c-offln should have
to be placed temporarily on the crypt floor.
"Berfhelot and his wife waited a year.
Victor Hugo remained on the crypt floor
six months before his great sepulcher
was ready. Zola sleeps tranquilly in the
cemetery of Montmartre. I beg that he
be transported direct to his Pantheon
sepulcher."
Most tourists go down to the crypt. All
see the Pantheon.
It is one of the most striking sights and
spots of Paris. The streets slope down
from it. Ancient Paris had called it
"yhe mountain." where once stood a
heathen temple.

went out alone and persuaded Aitila to
pass on.
#t"r.e became a personage by piety and
charity. Once in a famine she brought
boatloads of food down the river to the
Harvlng and demoralized Parisians.
!?ir.gs and queens consulted her. and
when she died her body was loid in the
rfhurch of the Apostles, on the hill that
*ook her name?the first "great citizen"
to sleep in what is now the Pantheon.
The building: was destroyed by Norman
pirates. It was replaced by an abbey of
dte Oer.evleve. whose bell tower only
now remains In the High School Henri
rv.
The actual building of the Pantheon
thus dates from Louis XV only: and
when the French revolution swung round
the idea of using It for the sleep of "great
citizens" had only the old memory of
Genevieve for basis?after some l.iio
. years
It was a splendid pile that Louis XV
had built there, the successive work of
wo great architects. Soufflot and Rondeiet.
Its form is a Greek cross. Its front is
a mighty portico of twenty-twA t'orin1
hian columns, sixty-five fret high, reposing
on a perron of twelve, steps. Their
penlment Is carved by David d'Angers.

Inside, sixteen windows are followed
round by thirty-two Corinthian lolumns.
Above, in the center, is a dome so high
that every few years it is used for the
strange pendulum experiment that proves
the earth revolves. .? wire pendulum
270 feet high swings ever back and
forth in the same line. It never stops all
lay. the momentum of the vast swing
being so considerable. Yet. while in the
morning it swings straight to the front
lnor and bark, by afternoon it swings
oward the fifty windows. As the pendu'um
has not changed direction, the earth
must have changed beneath it!

the Pantheon was Mirabeau?"the

products with the same skill that
i'Juropean people now employ.
One-half the amount extended hero upon
perishable aliments could be saved were
Americans trained to extract from them
1 neir utmost nutritive value in quantity
nd quality. This means not only through
acquaintance with the adaptability of a
vingie article of subsistence to its purpose,
but also its fitness for the form of cooking
10 which it is to be subjected. An example
of this is found in the use of a
niece of beef after it has served its pur,ioee
in the mak.ng of stock for soups.
With Americans the rule is to discard
t as no longer of value: whereas It is

ihc concoction of very appetizing and
nutritious dishes. It may lie served cold,

only Involves skillful buying, but also the
tbil'ty to adapt the choice of the provisions
bought to the use which It is
proposed to make of them. For example,
the feminine heart of a household desires
to purchase a fowl for a fricassee. If she
sends an order for one to the dealer,
although she may specify tiig purpose for
which she intends it, he will genej-ally
use no discretion in selecting, but will
send a bird that is suitable for roasting
and sells at a much higher price than
one of inferior rjuality that would be
entirelv adapted to the concoction of the
dish This means so much unnecessary
expenditure -If she goes in person to

: a custom as old as history, which, as "si

! far as appears, lias no known origin.
There are, however, several theories ad- pr,
vanced, some one of which might be cor- fit

One speculator gravely goes back to the
time of Noah and the flood, saying that it tjv

Another attributes the origin of this an<
! custom to the passion of Christ, in which ' kin
i He was sent back and forth from Annas n1^
to e/alaphas, from C'aiaphas to Pilate, j
