The precautions toward anchoring tho
statue so that o cyclone can never wrest it
from its pedestal appear to be more than ad-
equate Twelve girdels 4 feet deep and SO
feet long extend across the top of the opening
in the pedestal, which is 2611 feet square.
Sixty feet below these are similar set of
girders built into the masonry and connected
with the statue above by sixteen fiat bolts
inches wide and / as inches thick. All this
bracing is steel. The bolts which secure the
iron framework of :he statue to the upper
girdels are 81 inches in diameter Inside the
statue are bands of wroughE iron which ex-
tend around at regular intervals and hold the
outside drapery of copper in shape exactly
like an immense hoopskirt, from which prob
ably the idea was taken. This hoopskirt
is held in place by iron brackets extending
out from the great iron truss work which

The meteorites that fall upon the earth
arc composed chiefly of iron. Signor
Bombicci suggests an explanation OF this.
The earth is big magnet, as shown by
the proceedings of bar of steel freely
suspended and accurately balanced ON
its center. Bonlbicci's idea is that this
big terrestrial magnet, when rushing
through space containing meteoric par
ticles. exerts a selective attraction for
those which are ferruginous The fact
that so many masses of meteoric iron
have been found in the Artic regions, 80

THE LAbT OF FOHT WOOU,
The first impression of the statue is re-
placed by one of surprise at the imnlensity
and grandeur of its proportions as the visitor
nears the island ON which it rests. 1t is only
possible on so seeing it to get any idea of what
q gigantic work it is Pictures convey no
idea of it, and it is at once noticeable how
much more beautiful are the graceful lines of
the figure than the pictures or models repre-
sent them The pedestal is also in much bet
ter proportion to the figure than has been
shown The fact is the statue to be appre-
ciated must be visited ..
The star shaped Fort Wood, out of which
the statue rises, has been dismantled, the
only remaining indications that this beautiful
spot was once dedicated to war is the battery
shown in our illustration
The day of our visit workmen were rails
ing the last piece Of the statue into place.
1t was the forefnger. It measured Z feet IL
inches in length and feet inches in cir
cumference at the second joint. When our
rule was taken from it it was hoisted away
up into place, as shown in illustration, to re-
main for centuries unless dashed to the earth

She stands in the glare of the light,
With face that is sadder than thougst.
And eyes that ore sadder than rhyme,
While her jewels are blazoning bright,
And her robe, with gold traceries wrought.
TO her sway and her motions keeps time.
The fall Of the flowers OF, her feet
Makes radiant and many -hued rain,
Whose odor creeps upward and round,
so faint and SO sickeningly sweet,
That the old days come to her again,
And mute is the music and sound
OF the voices that cheer her tonight;
And vanished the offerings rare,
The faces upturned to her eyes,
And the blaZoning jewels and light,
While her soul darkens DER with despair,
And her heart to her heart mutely cries
They echo their calls loud and long, al
They shout as again she appears,
: But.the look on her beautiful face

Her smile it is sadder than tears. "a So.
While the praise of her name fills the place.

SENSIBLE.

A Vermont railroad engineer who
refused to ode heroically at his post,
explained TO areporter that his wages
had been cat down ten per cent and
he couldn't afford to. When he
thought of his wife having less than
S. in the house, with a large family
needing shoes right away, he felt it
his duty to live on Exchange.
And the engineer took a sensible
view Of the matter. To "die heroi-
cally at ones post" will do for flip
pant sentimentialists to prate about,
but sober, sound sense would dictate
the better course, self-preseryation
where wife and children are depend
ent upon him as a provider for their
necessities. If by jumping from his
engine he could save his life, and
didn't do it, the act would be one of
inexcusable self-destruction- deliber-
ate, voluntary suicide. TO "die he
roically at ones post" is not duty
every time. But it is duty for one
to live heroically for his family and
do them all the good that he can.
No man has a right to causelessly
sacrifice his life to CRAFTY an empty
sentiment.

THINGS CONDUCIVE TO THE GROWTH
0E 4 TOWN

Small industries is what the South
needs to give her vigorous and
healthy push towards greater pros
perity and independence. An ex-
change says: Every large establish
ment, like a cotton mill or machine
shop, when once fully under way,
has been, in other parts of the coun-
try, the parent of numerous small
shops, in which subsidiary industries
were pursued. An aggregation Of
large factories increases the proper
ton of these lesser ones. This is
easily understood. Every business
employing large number of skilled
and unskilled laborors draws to its
vicinity men Of small means with
practical skill as their chief capital,
who begin to make some special
thing, used in large quantities, as a
necessary adjunct to the business of
the great concerns. Take as an IL
lustration Of the truth of this the
State Of Massachusetts,. In that
State we find numerous small indus
tries in the shoe business -one max
ing pegs, another shoe-strings and
still another heel-taps. Then, again,
there is a small establishment that
manufactures nothing but shoe
knives. SO it is in other manufactu-
ring industries all over that State,
and throughout the other northern
States-numberless small industries
are to be found which supply the
larger factories with some special
thing used in large quantities by
these factories in the final compile
ton of their wears.
Suppose Georgia was full of these
and other like small industries, how
long would it be before our people
would be wholly independent of the
North in shoes and every other man
ulactured article that we now buy
from that section, that we could make
at home, if such industries as we
speak OF were located in Georgia -?

A BLIZZARD,

a Dakota and Nebraska blizzard
means death to man and beast.
Nothing can live in the binding,
piercing gale. A belle of Dakota
village lost her way in the binding,
swirling snow, and when found was
so badly frozen that both of her legs
had to be amputated. Two little
boys were picked up by blizzard
in Nebraska town and were COM
pletely carried away, and although
two hundred men turned out to look
for them, they could not be found.
Nothing can compare with the fury
of a Northwestern blizzard. 1t saps
ones breath, inhames the eyes, and
roars in your ears until you think
your head will surely split. The fly
ing snow which pelts you in the face
stings like so many needles, and
nearly drives you mad with pain.
Your legs grow weak, nausea adds to
your misery, and finally, when life
ceases to be worth battling for, you
fall to the ground and slowly freeze
to death.
