it may be represented by square figure

square of tens from the number. The re-
mainder is the number of square feet to be
added to two sides of the original square, to
preserve its square form. The length Of
each side of the square is 90 feet; and Of
the two sides, is 40 feet. Divide the square

CUBE ROOT


To find the cube root of number is tc
find one of its three equal factors. The
number of figures in the product of any
three numbers multiplied together is always
equal to, or one or two less than, the number
of figures in the three factors; therefore
the cube root of number always consists
of as many figures as equal the third figures
beginning with units) of the number. The
cube of number, consisting of tens and
units, is equal to the cube of the tens, plus
the product of the square of the tens mul
tiplied by the units, plus the product of the
tens multiplied by the tens and units mul
tiplied by the units, plus the product of the
square of the tens and units multiplied by
the units.

The New Statues by Ezekiel at the
C0rcoran Gallery of Art.

Corcoran Gallery of Art.
The CoTcoran Gallery OF Art has received and
elevated to their niches near the east and west
angles of the front OF the building the statues of
Michael Angelo sculptor, painter and architect,
I4'4-1564, and OF Albert Durer, engraver and
painter, 14ll-152S. Like those Of Phidias sol c.,
and OF Raphael, 14S3-152O, theywere executed by
M. Ezekiel, an American sculptor residing at
Rome and are Of the same materfal-Carrara
marble, OF light, grayish tint.
The sturdy figure OF Michael Angelo STANDS at
his ease In his working dress, the lefG hand
holding mallet. and the right hand holding q
pair OF calipers rests upon the belt OF his short
tunic, while his strongly marked, rugged face Is
bent down In deep thought, as though one OF
bis mighty conceptions was shaping itself in
his inspired brain. Mr.. Ezekiel has we'll avoided
the error OF representing him as q vulgar,
uncouth figure, the broken nose of the great
fOrmity.
The statue of Durer is an imposing one. The
majestic form is clad In long. loose coat, with
his breast by his right hand bearing CRAVING
TOOL, While his left hand rests upon the head Of
small female terminal figure by his side. The
snts nead ana faee are noble IN shape and the nea
parted hair rolls down in luxuriant curls over
the shoulders and breast, imparting with the
ddess oGss "a grave n Judlca! mten to the figure. 1t
adds 10 the interest Of the statue to know that
its likeness In feature and dress ia no fancy
VOTE, but Is modelled after an authentic por-
trait OF the great artist taken by himself. Du-
rer was not only an engraver and painter. but
also an eminent scholar and writer, and was an
intimate friend Of Erasmus, and these blended
accomplishments seem well traced on the coun-
teEance OF the figure.
These statues, averaging seven feet high and
representing the sister arts OF sculpture, paint
lDg, engraving and architecture, are fit emDel-
nshments OF the front of the Corcoran Gallery
CT Art and worthily has Mr.. Ezekiel acquitted
himself In the work Of adornment. The work
q elevat1Dg the statues was successfully done

eight in the United States, i've in the Dominion

on the part OF several delegates TO antagonize
the views OF those who are disposed TO widen the

held that the truth, as it is I'm Jesus" should
not be 'cabined, cribbed confined" by the
environments OF extreme orthodoxy. No more

that OF ''creedS and CONFESSIONS and the speak,
