CASTING BRONZE STATUES.
A Difficult Process That Involves Much
Time and Expense.

The usual method of casting bronze
statues is to take from the sculptor's
clay model a mold of plaster. When
this is hard the clay is cleaned out and
plaster poured in its place. When the
molds are removed plaster cast cor.
responding to the clay model is left
About the plaster cast a new mold is
formed, this one of fine sand. tamped
hard. The mold is removed from the
plaster, and in place of the latter is in
serted a sand core, not quite so large as
the plaster, SO that when the molten
bronze is poured in it can run only be-
tween the surface of the mold and the
core, thus making the statue hollow.
For delicate work the objection to
this process is that by expansion and
contraction of the plaster molds and
casts, and by the unequal pressure by
the tamping of the sand, the metal fig
model. AS the bronze can not be alter
ed. the sculptor must be contend to see
his idea interpreted in the metal with
some alterations of proportions.
1t is to avoid this variation that the
wax process of molding is used. After
a plaster cast has been made the sur
face of the latter is scraped off to
depth of half an inch or more 1t is
then placed in the mold. which it no
longer fills. and melted wax is poured
into the vacant space. On taking off
the mold the statue is found to be re-
newed. but with a surface of wax The
artist is then called in, and by working
upon the wax he can remedy any defects
which may have been caused; molding,
adding or changing at will till the sur
face is as delicate and perfect as his art
can make it.
When the sculptor has finished with
it the statue is turned over to women,
who, with very small brushes, cover
the wax with fine dust or powder of
special composition. This dust adheres
to the wax, and as soon as one coat has
been put on another is given to it.
This process is kept up for weeks, and
as these coatings of earthen powder are
repeated they harden, and when the
layers have been built up till they form
a covering over the wax of about half
an inch in thickness, the work can pro-
gress more rapidly, for after that
trowel can safely be used Thus the
wax model is safely inelosed in a mass
of hard carthen material
The entire mold. with the figure and
wax inside, is then placed in a furnace
in which great heat is developed, SUI
ficient not only to melt the wax, but to
burn out every trace OF it. This
leaves a perfect mold in which to pour
the molten bronze for the final casting.
and when the latter comes out it is
found to be an exact duplicate in bronze
of the wax model, with every line
brought out to nicely. On account of
the great labor required in covering the
wax with the powdered earth. the pro-
cess is very expensive and is only occa-
sionally brought into use.-Washington
Post

NAILS AND couoNs.


How They Arc Affected BY the Tarin-The
Duty 10 Not Added to the Price.
We extract the following from letter
odS. d. Chamberlain in the New York
Evangelist of January -. It is good
sign to see our religious press giving
space to industrial matters. and we are
glad to note further that the matter is
of the right sort:
1T is claimed by some economists that
whatever import duty is laid upon an
article or class of articles, the COS. of
such article is enhanced to the consumer
by just that much. Let us consider a
yard of calico. I find Is yards of
common calico weigh pound l turn
to the New York Journal Of Commerce
and see cotton quoted to IL cents
average, say. 9Is. Then the cost of the
cotton in yard of this calico is about
cent and half. To this add freight to
the factory. preparation for spinning,
the spinning, weaving, printing. finish
ing. packing. jobbers' commissions.
freights. and the retailers profits. and
the goods are retailed here in Toledo at
cents yard. and 81. cents a yard pays
all these charges. On this class,of goods
the duty is 8 cents-four cents the
square yard.
Now let us try yard of unbleached
cotton a yard square. find upon trial
a yard of this goods weighs seven
ounces; the cotton at S cents a pound
costs 81 cents. Here again come in \
lot of expenses. ending with it's delivery
to the retailers, who retail it here at 8
cents yard-a margin of - cents COW
ering all expenses. The duty on these
goods is 2il cents.
Next let us try . key Of nails I
find that it costs in the Michigan iron
region about Sl4 to produce a ton of pig
iron. In the process of converting this
pig iron into bar iron the loss is about
Is per cent. Thus it appears that the
cost of material in 100 pounds of nails
at the pig iron furnace is about 81
cents: 1Od nails are sold here at sos a
keg: spikes and larger nails at lower
figures. Here. now, is margin of
S1.al, out of which to pay freight, fuel
labor, rolling mill charge. key, COM
missions and retailers profits. The
duty on these nails is Silt was sl.25.
Let us consider a keg of lod wire
nails, and say the cost of raw material
is the same. These nails are sold here
at sa.75 keg of 100 pounds; the duty is
80: it was "a.
"Now. shall be we told that but for
these duties. we should buy the calico
at a cent yard. one-third the cost of
the raw cotton; the unbleached goods at
81 cents, the cost of the cotton: the l0d
cut nails at II cents a keg; the 10d wire
nails at Is cents, or Q cents less than the
cost of the pig iron?

Shirley Dare says there is nothing
like steam for keeping the complexion
fresh and free from wrinkles. Dust
easily settles in the pores of the skin
and can only be dislodged by the daily
use of hot water or steam and soap.
The woman who frequently INDUCES in

A GOOD SHOT.

Young Love walked out one winters day.
One winters day, one winters day.
His eye was bright, his step SO light
He danced along the way;
So fair his face, SO full OF grace
His mien-but wos but woe.
That look intent some mischief meant
He had his good cross-bow.
He spied youth and winsome maid
A winsome maid, winsome maid;
Alone theS trod the rimy sod
UNNAMED and not afraid
They did not hear VIXEN Love drew near;
His step how could they know:
No pause made he-ah me, ah me.
de bent his good cross-bow.
A fiame-tipped dart with rainbow wing
4 cruel thing! a cruel thing!
With smiling haste in rest ne placed
And fitted TO the string.
oh, fatal day. What hand can stay
Loves keen, unerring dart:
His aim was true; the arrow New
And pierced them to the heart.
So deep the shaft had cleft its way
An, well-a-dsy! an, well aday.
The maid and youth became, in sooth,
The gentle archer's prey.
A vanQuished pair, his chain TO wear;
Right willing captives they,
With ready feet 10 follow feet
Where Love should lead the way.
For many a year at loves command,
At loves command at loves command,
They since that day their devious way
Have iourneyed hand in hand
Sometimes he leads through fowery neads
Where ripping waters flow;
But everywhere, or storm or fair.
Love bears his good cross-bow.
II matters not IL clouds appear
When love is near, when love is near,
They press along with happy song
And now and then a tear.
Some storms may beat about their feet,
They cling the closer then;
Nor can they think their feet would shrink
To tread the path again
In sun or sleet, through summers heat.
Or wintry weather, or wintry weather;
Whate'er betide the world beside,
These three fare on together,
With swelling hope upon LIES slope
They face the western glow,
And smile at time while Love. the rogue!
Still bears his good cross-bow.

Meat Three Times a Dav,

The following from John ROach'S teS-
timony before Congressional commit
tee in 1888 will be found interesting:
No man wants to bring his friends to
this country from any place where they
are better off: and, in connection with
his subject, l would suggest to the
members of this committee that they
ought not to leave New York without
making three or four visits to Castle
Garden and looking at the condition of
these poor immigrants as they come
here, and comparing it with the appear
ance and condition of their brothers or
friends, who have paid their passage to
this country, and who are there to
welcome them. If you will just go
down there and see for yourselves. you
will be convinced that there is no great
err absurdity than to say that those peo-
pie are better off in the old country
than here. How can they be better off
there? If they eat the same food there
that they eat here, it has to be sent
across the ocean to them. and they have
TO pay the increased cost of that At
all events. they certainly can not buy it
any cheaper than they can here. 1t may
cost them more to live here, all things
considered. than it did in the old cOun-
try. but they live better here.
Let me illustrate that. l have Ger
man clerk in my office who writes
great many letters for poor German
people who can not write themselves,
and little incident that occurred two
years ago. and TO which he called my
attention, will serve to illustrate this
idea. A man got this clerk to write a
letter. in which he undertook to give a
description of America, and he went on
to say to his friends. Il eat meat once
regularly every day" The clerk turned
around to him and said. What do you
say that for? You know that you eat
meat three times day. see it in your
kettle Well said the fellow. If
tell them that get meat three times a
day they wont believe that get it even
once day. and that is the reason
want you to put it as give it to you"
Free Trade Testimony on Mckinley Prices.
Notwithstanding the vigilance of the
reform editor, the truth about prices
will creep into the news columns or
market reports Of his paper, and even
into the editorial columns. when his
watchful care to keep up the delusion
as 10 the real effects of the new tariff
has been momentarily relaxed. The
Free Trade Commercial Bulletin. in an
editoria, on December %. commenting
upon the fattering monthly report of
our exports says:
The conclusion may be fairly drawn that e.
oep.ing in breadstuis. there was no advance Of
prices out OF harmony with the movement Of
prices In other countries.
This sentence is in direct contradic-
ton to what the editorial columns of
the Bulletin have been asserting ever
since the passage of the Mckinley bill
The Globe-republican., 1891-03-11

ton facilities under the American flag

'.BY THE Tariff act of 1874 an addi-
tional discriminating duty of 10 per
cent. was levied on all goods imported
in vessels not of the United States.
And in all changes Of the Tariff prior
to the war of 1912 this discriminating
duty Of 10 per cent was re-enacted- So
great was the development of our ship
building and shipping interests under
the fostering influence of these acts
that we sold ships amounting to hun
dreds of thousands of tons to foreign
ers and soon took front rank among
maratine nations"-From Secretary
WINDOWS Last Speech.

woman's Interest in Protection.

Although the privilege of voting for
those who frame the Tariff laws is not
extended to the women of the country
they have deep pecuniary interest in
the struggle. The free importation of
foreign goods which compete with those
they are employed in making would
most seriously affect many thousands
who are now employed in different in
dustries. According to recent statistics
gathered by the Bureau of Labor. the
average weekly earnings of working
tween S. and So. These are equal to
the average wages of men in England,
and four to five times greater than the
wages of women there. Many woman
in Great Britain can earn but 81 or 81. -
a week. while in other parts of Europe
they can earn but a few cents day.
The workingwomen of many foreign
countries are degraded to the level OF
beasts. and even in England and other
parts of Great Britain they simply
exist, never knowing comforts or
luxuries. What a contrast is presented
by our American women and girls.
Comfortably. and sometimes richly clad
well housed and well fed, no wonder
that they are contented and happy.
Dress goods and all articles of female
apparel can be bought as cheaply here
as any where else in the world. Food
is cheaper. If rent is higher. our Amer
lean workingwomen have from five to
ten times the amount with which to pay
it
But we have been speaking of those
who get the lowest wages. The oppOr-
tunities for advancement and the many
fields to which women are better suited
than men give thousands of our women
and girls wages of s., $40, sla and even
as high as $50 week. This general
activity OF industry was never paralleled
in any period of the free importation of
competing goods. 1t is due directly or
indirectly to our American system Of
protection to home industry. Our wo-
men should use their influence in per-
suading their fathers. brothers and
other male friends to vote for the cause
of Protection.

sober ways of living pang of regret
occasionally assails them both because

equally uncomfortable, insomuch that

But all who see Lady Rorymore's dia-
