SCENE OF 111 SUICIDES
EIFFEL TOWER DOOMED TO BE DEMOLISHED By Cable. —Press Association .-— Copyright. Reed. 12.15 p.m. PARIS, Tuesday. The Eiffel Tower, the world’s highest structure, which during the 39 years of its existence has been the scene of 111 suicides, is doomed, as the Ministry of the Interior has announced that it must be demolished to prevent its falling. Despite an expenditure of £B,OOO annually for its upkeep and painting, corrosion is increasing steadily, and it would have fallen long ago had not workmen been kept continually renewing the bolts. Already it has passed its estimated life span by 19 years.—A. and N.Z.
