Clse yur eyes and picture the city f Paris. Nw imagine the city withut its mst famus landmark: the Eiffel Twer.
The unthinkable almst happened.
When French engineer Gustave Eiffel built this twer fr the Paris Wrld’s Fair f 1889, it was cntrversial. The irn structure cntrasted(对比)sharply with the histric stne buildings f Paris. Eiffel’s fur-legged irn archway was suppsed t last nly 20 years. That’s when Eiffel’s permit t perate the building wuld expire(过期)and the city culd chse t tear it dwn.
Yet frm the beginning, Eiffel had a strategy t save his building. If the Twer was linked t imprtant research, he reasned, n ne wuld dare t take it dwn. S he wuld make it a grand labratry fr science.
Scientific research began just ne day after the Twer pened t the public n May 6, 1889. Eiffel installed a weather statin n the Twer’s third (and highest)flr. He cnnected instruments by wire t the French weather bureau in Paris. With these, he measured wind speed and air pressure.
In 1903, still wrried that his building might be trn dwn, Eiffel gt a clever idea. He asked the French military t cnduct its wn research n radi cmmunicatins at the Twer. He even paid the army’s csts.
French army captain Gustave Ferrié wrked frm a little wden huse at the base f the Twer’s suthern pillar. Frm there, he made radi cntact with frts arund Paris. Cnvinced f the imprtance f radi cmmunicatins, the army set up a permanent radi statin at the Twer. In 1910, the city f Paris renewed the structure’s permit fr anther 70 years.
This year marks the icnic structure’s 125th birthday. Over the years, research cnducted there has brught dramatic and unexpected payffs. During Wrld War Ⅰ, fr instance, the French army used the Twer as a giant ear t receive radi messages. It even led t the arrest f ne f the war’s mst famus spies.
