THE execution of McIlvaine by cleo
tricity was painless and successful in
every detail. But there are journals
which insist that hanging is a less repul-
sive method. Thus the San Francisco
Chronicle, which appears to have consti-
tuted itself an objector to progress on all
lines, declares that the muscular action of
the body and the heaying of the chest and
exudation from the lips, is evidence that
McIlvaine was cruelty put to death; that
it was "a revolving scene" But violent
death is nearly always accompanied by
some such manifestations. In hanging
very often the body twists and writhes,
the limbs are drawnup, the breast heaves,
the tongue is forced out, the eyeballs pro-
trude, the hands are contorted, and

There are insurance companies that
make business of guaranteeing the
blocks OF marble against defects OF this
sort, and as the best Carara statuary mar.
BILE costs something like S25 cubic foot
1t Will be seen that the risk involved in
buying rough block for large statue
is considerable and the artist is glad To
pay premium on a guaranteed stone
Sometimes there will be dark vein or

It is called, the "skin finish" Of the

After the roughing out Of the statue
by few OF the prominent points, innu-
merable minor points are taken all over
the cast and their positions noted with
the bow drill on the marble block. Then
the steel point and the hummer are called
into play and the supertluous material
between the drill holes is cut away. AS

Pointer and Drill

~ get tn: subject-for s,atue is
nearly always the copy OF An
idea frst worked on. in clay. except in,
few remarkable cases, as where Michael
Angelo and other master hands have cut
a flushed statue direct from the marble
block without the aid OF copy o. any
sort, though this was remarkable fea.
even for them
The clay molel may be considered
the basis Of all the artists work. 1t is
made, whenever possible, from the living
model In plastic clay, with the aid of the
fingers and few simple wooden or horn
knives. When the subject is dead or
absent death masks and photographs are
the artists guide While this work is
perhaps not the hi CHEST order of art, i,
requires more than mere initiative
faculty Of eye aud hanl. The moods
and temperament of the subject have to
be studied and emphasized to save the
work from degencratiny from living
likeness into mere dead model.
The final marble is not copied from
tie clay, however, rs tla. is an unsatis-
factory substance from which to work.
and between the two stages of the work
plaster cast has to intervene. Blu,
from an artistic point Of view there is a
livelines>~and expression about the first
clay modT that the cast never shows,
which has given rise to the artist saving
that the 'clay i, the life, plaster the
death and marble the resurrection"
For taking the plaster cast what Is
known as spiece mold is made. The
cast is divided into sections, over each
OF which plaster mold from two 20
four inches thick is made. These when
fastened together form hollow mold
into which the fluid plaster of paris is
poured. When this hardens the outer
crust is broken away and the white, firm
cast stands forth ready to be copied by
the carver. Some artists do their own
carving from the tirs. rough block, bat
in most cases the rougher work is turccl
over to skilled mechanic, who chips
the work down almost to size, leaving
only what is known as the skin finish to
be done by the artist. Indeed, such is
the skill of some of the Italian work men
| that they will turn out finished copy
| of any cast given to them without the
artist SO much As touching a chise.
| But this copying OF the cast in stone
is by no means a matter Of the eye alone.

curacy in every part by al IN 5eaioas de

AN HONEST CONFESSION.

Commenting on the statement Of the World
that free silver plank In the national Repub-
llcan platform would be suicidal, the Topeka
ADVOCATE says "What difference does 1t
make what you put in your platform? Your
platform don't mean anything anyhow. Just go
behind the door somewhere and read over the
Republican state platform Of 1890, and then tell
us what part Of 1t the Republican party ever
thought OF carrying out. You need not commit
yourself publicly. Just drop us private card.
We would like to know what plank In that plat
form the Republican party ever intended to
carry into effect" The World pleads guilty for
the party on the indictment OF making meaning
less platforms In 1890. We got licked for our
fOOlishness too. This year the platforms are go
lug to mean something. Take for instance the
one adopted by the Second district congress
siOnal convention. That was to the point and
contained nothing Of the wild resolutions Of two
years ago. The republican state platform was
Of course something wild, but 1t was much better
than the Peoples party platform.
Now another question, Brother
Brady. If you confess your party to
have been dishonest in 1890, what as
surance have you to offer that it will
be any the less so in 1922 The plat
form of 1890 was made to catch votes.
Will not that of 1892 be made for the
same purpose? If not, how are we
to know it9 What guarantee can
you give the people that your party
is any more honest now than then?
