that respect in certain other countries. 
There are in Paris several classes of 
kiosks, or street structures, which are 
devoted to advertising or bill posting, 
as follows: 
Round towers, known as the Colon- 
nes Moris, made of wood and used 
mainly for posters of theaters and 
other amusements. 
The “Poste de vigie,” or policeman’s 
kiosk. This is a hexagonal kiosk used 
as a shelter by the policeman whose 
post is adjacent to the more import- 
ant cab stands. Its panels of wood or 
glass are used for the more permanent 
class of business advertising which 
is printed on the glass or posters 
covered by glass frames. 
The news stand kiosk serves as a 
shelter and depot for a dealer in 
newspapers and magazines, whose 
stock is usually displayed on shelves 
or tables under a tent or awning set 
up outgide the kiosk. Paris is the par- 
adise of newspaper venders, and kiosks 
of this class are common throughout 
the city. 
Consul General A. W. Thackera of 
Berlin, also makes an interesting re- 
port: 
Billboards, as they are known in the 
United States, are absolutely prohib- 
ited in Berlin, but in place of such oft- 
entimes unsightly objects, public ad- 
vertising is confined to a system of 
neat pillars or columns on the edge 
of the sidewalk at the principal street 
corners or intersection. These round 
hollow columns (called Litfass Seu- 
len after tlte originators) are built 
substantially of iron and wood, about 
twelve feet high and three feet in di- 
ameter, the exterior having an adver- 
tising surface of from eleven to 
twelve square metres. The pillars are 
used principally for the advertise- 
ments of theatres and other places of 
amusement, for the announcements of 
newspapers and periodicals and official 
notices. They are a conspicuous feat- 
ure of Berlin street life, and are con- 
sulted regularly by theatregoers, etc. 
Considerable artistic cleverness is dis- 
played in the arrangement of the dif- 
ferently colored posters, which are
