WHAT THE RAIN COSTS.

The Eiffel Tower.

The stockholders in the Eiffel tower enterprise are feeling blue just now in consequence of the steady diminuation of their receipts. In the season now closing 675,000 francs were taken in. The cost of keeping the tower open was 350,000 francs, and 300,000 more were spent for repairs. Next season the small profit of this year will be wiped out, it is expected- and a considerable deficit will appear in the place of it. In view of this probability 168,000 francs were reserved foi future use from the profits of tho e» hibition year.
