REBUILDING THE COLUMN VENDoME.-
The London Builder gives the first definite
information as to the progress and d ficul-
ties OF the work of reconstructing the Col
umn Vendome at Paris. 1t appears that
the masonry work is only just began.
There are more diff ;ulties in the way Of
this part of the undertaking than most un :
initiated outsiders imagine. 1t is imagin-
ed that the foundation aud pedestal base
can be built like an ordinary wall. This is
impossible. From motives of economy it
is intended to utilize the stone-work of the
old column-at least all those portions of it
which have not been excessively attenuated
or deformed by the demolition. Two-thirds
of the materials can be SO used the re-
mainder of the work will have to be exc
cuteb as at the first erection of the column.
But even among the two-thiris judged SER
viceable there are only two steps absolute
ly intact. TIE others require to be repair
ed, and will be replaced or rejointed by
means of cement in the Place Vendome
itself. But this reparation is not the most
d ficut operation. The interior of the
column is formed by huge square blocks of
stone pierced at intervals with large holes
into which are sol1ered cramp-irons tha,
hook the outer bronze plates by a species
of horseshoe eyelet attached to the inmost
surface of the plates in the foundry. The
