pliances and tools, many of which had to be specially made for the purpose, paid for all materials and tools out of his slender capital, reserved only enough money for the immediate living expenses of his family, engaged work men and set about modelling the three figures for the first colossal group Ceres on the right hand, Bacchus on the left, and in the center the figure of Fortune with the features of Miss Flood. The model of the group meas uring seventeen feet six inches in height, twenty-tWo feet in length and from four to five feet in depth, was completed, submitted to the architect, and, after some alterations requiring a weeks labor and the outlay of one hundred dollars of MT. Edwards money, approved by the architect and paid for, according to the terms of con- tract, in the sum of three hundred dol lars.
 Of this amount all but fifty dollars was due in wages. The balance paid the studio rent. MT. Edwards drew again on what remained to him of his personal funds for the purchase of fifty barrels of plaster and the building of a furnace for the metal castings. He had completed two figures of the sec ond group when his men, With whom he had contracts, refused to go on with the work. They hinted that they could make better arrangements with the contractors and foundrymen direct, de- manded an increase of wages and on being told that they would be held to their contracts struck work and left the clay to dry on their employers hands. MT. Edwards appealed to his employers for advice. They had Hone to offer. They reminded him that the work con- tract d for was to be completed on the 31st of December. The October moon was already on the wane. After vast ing two weeks in futile attempts at compromise, the sculptor got his men at work again on their own terms.
 One November day Mir. Laver called at MT. Edwards studio. He was ac- companied by Mir Roberts. They an- nounced that MT. Flood had decided to add two stories to his building at the corner of Market and Fourth streets and therefore did not want any groups of statuary of heroic size to adorn the top of it-did not want any Ceres and Bacchus to represent his wheat and wine interests in California did not want any typical figure of his fortune with the features of his daughter-did not want any of the things for which Messrs. Conlin &, Roberts, Metal Roof Contractors, had contracted to y Morton A. Edwards, sculptor, Four Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty Dollars in T.. s. Gold Coin: and they would like to know what MT. Edwards would take to cancel that contract.
 MT. Edwards was stranger in a strange land. He was without money. without friends, without resources. without choice. He had expended nine teen hundred dollars of his own money and three hundred dollars paid him by Conlin & Roberts in preparations for

The Difficulties of Railway Travel

EscEpe.

Therailroad which, with It's branches,
connects Colombo, the capital Of Cey-
Ion, with the interior of the island, Is
remarkable for the engineering skill
shown In it's construction, and for its
prosperity. 1t makes an ascent Of 1900
feetby succession of loops and curves,
with here and there u tunnel. The
chief difficulty in running the railroad
is due to the way in which the rain
X IsuT D0und the Empire, describes
what the rain did to train crawling
up the mountainside.
On December 81, 1896, 11h inches of
rain fell I'm "a hours. The engineer Of
a train saw that beyond a certain tun-
mel the line was washed away. He
stopped the train, and the passengers
got out. One of them, seeing stones
rolling down the mountainside above
them, advised the engineer to push for
the tunnel.
Just as the train entered the tunnel,
down came huge mass OF rock, which
carried away the embankment, as well
as the last car of the train--a goods
van, fortunately. Close behind the tun-
mel the ends of the rail were hanging
free over precipice, and similar con-
dition existed not far ahead.
A messenger came down from plant
er's bungalow above the tunnel to say
that water was accommodating In the
cutting in front, and that Il it broke
through the debris which served as a
dam, 1t would wash the train out of the
tunnel The passengers FASTENED to
leave the cars, and In walking through
the water In the cutting found II up TO
