ton of the beauties of the human
form. The greatest of their works
was the statue of Gouldeon, the god
of iron rails. What they attempted to
embody In this, the supreme deity of
the Kansanic race, was that this great
deity was TO longer engaged in con-
fiicts with the Titans and Giants, but
having laid aside his thunderbolts,
was standing in perfect majesty and
repose at the door of the great temple
dedicated to him, where he welcomed
the vast throngs Of his subjects, who
were pressing to greet and worship
him. The distinguishing character Of
the art Of these famous sculptors, %
