ing like them IS known to the student Of
animal life. They seem to combine the ter
rors of the lost soul from the lowest depths
Of Dante's inferno. the worst facial con-
tort.ons Of the melodramat!c stage and the
concentrated facial characteristics Of a
group of antedeluvan monst arS.
Humor is mixed with agony in the ex-
preston OF the faces; there IS a dash of
!mbeciity, cunning. avar'ce, cruelty. and,
in word. almost every evil feature of the
human compo sit!on appears IL be expressed
in TINS awful collection of nightmare con-
cept!cis. If the sculptor had spent life
time IL studying the most evil oountenances
that persistent research in the lunatic
asylums. prisons ard slums "a Europes
big cities could find and then endeavored
t. construct mosaic in which would ap-
pear the worst of bad lot he could not
have succeeded better than he has done.
In one face the expression is so awful
that the extreme Is reached. and after the
first feeling of horror has worn off one IS
forced to laugh at the terribly ugly COM
bination. The most peculiar looking head
of them all has every single feature "out
of drawing" 1t is crowned with a pair Of
devilish horns. but in themselves they are
not very terrifying, although even they do
not match; the eyes might have belonged.
