RUINED BY A CONTRACT.

The founder Of the Vendome column
in Paris met with financial ruin IN ms
contract. The French government
when IL decided to erect the notable
column, entered into contract with an
iron founder, says the Philadelphia
Record. He knew nothing whatever OF
modelling or casting in bronze. The
government agreed to supply him with
cannon captured from the Russians
and Austrinns during the campaign or
1905, in quantities sufficient to found
the monument. The contractor, know
ing nothing Of the phenomena which
the fusion Of bronze offers, found when
two-thirds OF the column was COM
pleted that he had used pail his metal.
Sufficient bronze had been given him to
complete the monument, and he was
responsible for the entire amount
Finding himself face to face with bank
r,iptcy he melted up his scoriae and
mixed the metal with cheap refuse
which he purchased, and so completed
the founding. The castings, however
were found TO be 80 full Of flaws that
the work was stopped, and the founder
ruined. The holdings Of the differen'
