THE WORLD’S MOST REMARKABLE STREETS.

While Europe Has the Most Aristocratic, the Cleanest, and the Most Beautiful, the United States Has the Highest and the Most Wealthy.

There is always interest in the superlative. The biggest things, the smallest things, the ugliest and the most graceful are important only when compared with the rest of their kind. Every city in the world has its attractive roads and streets as well as its ugly ones.

The highest street in the world is Main Street, In Denver; the richest is Fifth Avenue, in New York City; the widest is Market Street, in Philadelphia; and the shortest is the Rue Blé in Paris.

The dirtiest street is that of Tchangsti, in Nankin; the cleanest is the Via Castile, in Seville, Spain; the most aristocratic one is Grosvenor Place, in London; the most beautiful is the Avenue des Champs Elysées, Paris. The narrowest street is the Via Sol, Havana, Cuba, which has a width of only forty-two inches.
