22,829 2-5 feet of piping; 538 persons have places assigned
wherein to change their attire. The musicians have a foyer with 100
closets for their instruments."

The author remarks of his visit to the Opera House that it "was almost
as bewildering as it was agreeable. Giant stairways and colossal
halls, huge frescoes and enormous mirrors, gold and marble, satin and
velvet, met the eye at every turn."

In a recent letter Mr. Andre Castaigne, whose remarkable pictures
illustrate the text, speaks of a river or lake under the Opera House
and mentions the fact that there are now also three metropolitan
railway tunnels, one on top of the other.
