The statues History.

The history of the great undertaking which
will give New York Harbor the largest statue In
the world begins nearly ten yesrs ago, when
body OF distinguished Frenchmen enthusiastic
lovers OF liberty, whom its originator and crea-
tor then interested in his noble conception.
These gentlemen formed themselves into a So
ciety called the Union Franco -Americaine de
France, and held banquet Nov. g. 1875,
to inaugurate the project. M. Bartholdi's
subscription for the erection OF
the statue begnn. The city OF Paris subscribed
81, 900, and in five years France had subscribed
chiefly in small sums, the $3.50, 600 necessary for
this purT ose. Another banquet was then held
in the French capital. at which an address to
the people of the United States was adopted,
recalling the alliance of France with this ma
tion in the cause of liberty during the ReVolu-
tionary War, and embodying sentiments express
sive of their hearty accord in the maintenance
of democratic principles of government Work
on the colossal statue was promptly begun un-
der the superintendent of it's designer, who

Springing up from the waters of New York
Bay, near the center of the harbor, and COM
maj ding an unobstructed view out through the
Narrows to the ocean, Bedloe's Island is an
especially favorable site for the erection OF
beacon-li2ht that shall at once guide the mar
liner to a safe haven and symbolic to the emil

Idea of liberty which has been so largely instru-
mental in bring ng him hither. The island
itself is much larger than appears either from
the New York shore or from the photographic
pictures Of statue and island which have re-
Gently been scattered over the country. 1t has
an area Of four or five acres, and will doubtless
be a delightful breathing place for the city resi-
dent, and Mecca to the wonder hunting coun-
try visitor, when it has received the last beau
tifying touches of the Pedestal Committee and
Is returned TO the Government.
The foundation on which the pedestal is to
rest is a vast mass OF gravel and sand and lime,
ninety-one feet square at the base. sixty-seven
feet square at the top, and ffty-two feet
ten inches in height It rests on a bed OF grav-
el some twenty feet below the surface.
The Statue Itself.
The statue itself is 151 feet high, made Of cop
per and iron, and weighs nearly 200 tons. An
elevator and stairway will ascend from the
base of the pedestal up thrnuQh- thas ststltA4& dc

the hand. Upon the small balcony be-
meath the torch there is standing room
for fifteen persons. The height of the
