The most famous statues in history are the Colossus of Rhodes, the Sphinx and the vocal statue of Memnon at Thebes, and of these the last is the most remarkable, in consequence of it's D9Sperty of emitting sounds when it's lips were tohched by the rays of the rising sun so that it seemed to greet the coming day. 1t was originally portrait model of King Amenophis HI, and was one of pair of statues be- tween sixty and seventy feet high, carved out of single blocks of sand stone and transported from the quar- ries to Thebes, whereas the Sphinx was carved from the living rock in the place where it now stands.
 Of statues not so well knnwn the most remarkable is that of Bu,'dha at Mara, rear Kioto, in Japan, which was erected A. D. HOO. It is made of bronze, and is fifty-three feet six inches high and more than twenty eight feet broad across the shoulders. On it's head are 966 curls, and the im- age is surrounded by glory or halo seventy eight feet in diameter, on which sixteen images eight feet long are cast. Two smaller images, each tMenty-five feet high, stand in front of the larger one. The total weight of metal in the main figure is about 450 tons, of which 800 pounds consist of gold.
