STATUES OF SNOW.

A Paris sculptor. with an apprecia-
tion for and the power to satisfy the
demand OF the minute. has hit upon
the novel scheme OF turning out snow
statues" for such OF his patrons as lean
to the unique in art says the New York
Herald. Statues of any required shape
are made and add greatly to the ap-
pearance of drawing rooms in the
French capital. To all intents and
purposes these statues are carved out
of the compactly welded fleece. AS a
matter of fact. they are only coated
with snow. the under part being made
up of copper pipes. thin and light.
The discovery. which has resulted
in a mass or orders reaching the sculp-
tor and a consequent substantial in
crease in his revenues-for he charges
"topstory" prices for his products
came In the nature of an accident. II

might be applied to statuary. And he
applied II. A statue of thin copper was
quickly constructed and box OF lique-
fed carbonic acid placed in the base.
When this gas evaporated the effect Of
freezing was produced. the moisture in
the air was attracted to the copper
sides and quickly frozen into the
semblance OF snow. Many beautiful
designs have been turned out in pur-
suance OF this principle, and the sculp-
tor is said to be reaplng golden re-
ward for his snow discovery.
