1t is now held by astronomers generally,

that we never see the planets true surface.
The enormous scale upon which the
changes take place and the evident vio-

probable that the globe of the planet is

q handsome brick building, forty-one feet
long by thirty-hve feet broad, and forty
feet to the apex of the roof. The skyliSht,
twenty-six by eighteen feet. is placed at an
angle of forty-tve degrees, which gives
the artist a perfect light for this class of
work. The floor is concreted, and large
double doors, twenty feet high, with an
opening ten feet wide, permit easily the
egress OF the largest equestrian statue ever
made. The turntable on which the statue
is constructed is eight feet square at the
lower base, and is supported by four large
ball-bearing rollers, which were made to
order in Chicago.
The upper turntable revolves on heavy
center bar five inches in diameter. which
has an inverted steel point and socket, the
continuation of the center bar, which bears
the weight of the entire structure of horse
and rider This center bar is composed of
a large wrought iron steam pipe. in the
center of which is sunk a heavy. solid
square three-inch bar imbedded in plaster.
This Is done to prevent the swaying or
oscillation of the heavy structure which ii
supports. Besides the center pin there is
circular iron track, upon which eight roll
erS revolve.
The sculptor is thus enabled to turn the
statue in any direction without the least
jar or vibration. The whole turntable is
most ingenious invention, and can, with
the structure on it, not only be moved to
any part OF the studio, but also through
the large doors to the alley, where the art
list can view his work in the open air at
distance of several blocks. if he desires.
The opportunity of being able to view the
statue in the open is found by Scuptors in
this country and also in Europe to be of
great advantage and to secure the best
results. The visitor to the studio cannot

resting gracefully upon his thigh. while his
left hand srasps the bride reins in true
military fashion. curbing his FESTIVE
charger. The charac teristic cant of the
generals head is strongly enhanced by the
angle at which the chapeau is worn as
prescribed by army regulations. These de-
tails, SO accurately represented by the art
ist, produce a harmony and unity of the
whole composition seldom attained in
equestrian statues. The readers of The
Star may form some idea of the size OF the
whole structure from the fact that its
representative, who is six feet tall, stood
on the horses back Immediately in rear of
Gen. HancoCks figure, and the top of his
head barely reached the top of the gen.

statue is fourteen feet ten inches while
from the tip of the horses nose to the end
of the tail is thirteen feet. The CONSTRUCT
ton of this statue is interestin and Pc
culiar.
1t is unlike as to it's construction and
the materials employed, any other model of
this class built in America. The barrel or
body OF the horse is formed by discs which
are supported by two beams. bOlted at right
angles to the hve-inch wrought iron pipe

through the center Of the barrel. Around

SUBMARINE CABLES.
The TcIcGraphic Circle of the Earth
VIII Soon he Completed.

VIII Soon BE Completed.
From the Scottish-AD,erican.
There are now twelve transatlantic
cables connecting Europe with Canada and
the United States and steps have been
taken to lay cable across the Pacific from
British Columbia to Australia, by way Of
the Fiji Islands. The circle of the earth
will then be completed. but not so directly
as it would be by cable from America to
Japan.
There are now 152 900 miles of submarine
cable, in round numbers, of which 10 per
cent has been supplied by various govern
nents, and the rest by private enterprise.
They connect into one system over 100000
miles of land wires, ramifying in different
countries. The cables have cost about 49,
100000 and the land lines fGJ,000,U0O, but
the money has been well spent, for the
benefits of the telegraph are incalculable.
