Snow Statues at All Timex.

In Paris, France, is a sculptor who
makes snow statues regardless of the
weather. He does not have to wait for
Il snowstornl, nor does he care what the
temperature may be outside. These SNOW
statues have become very popular in
Paris and are often conspicuous figures
of fashionable drawing rooms. They look
for all the world like heaps of snow
carved into beautiful figures, but in re-
atty they are copper figures covered with
II coating Of snow only. That is the So
cret. Some time ago the sculptor noticed
that certain portions of ice machines
were always covered with coat of
frosty white whenever ice WAS being
manufactured. This was caused by cold
gases passing through the copper tubes,
producing Il rapid condensation of the
vapor in the atmosphere surrounding the
tubes. The sculptor decided that what
could he done with ordinary tubing could
be done with metal nodded into beautiful
forms He found that carbonic acid gas
was used to produce the extreme cold in
the tubes. So he made a statue of thin
copper and placed box Of liquefied car
bOnic acid gas in the base. The rapid
evaporation of the gas caused such ex-
IRENE cold that the vapor surrounding
the statue was frozen ut once and clung
to the copper, giving it beautiful coat
of white.

A Famous Portrait Painter, Franz
LcnDach-His Early Life,

Franz I.enbach was born Ia the year
1886. ut Schrobenhauseh, Il villhge Lying
between 1ngolstadt and Augsburg. His
father was nlusnh and builder, who
having married twice and having sey=
enteen children to support, could d. little
to educate any of them. FrAiA& las he
has himself writteh' and his ten broth
era roamel the, Woods and led the wild
life of robbrr-ciliilreii. Though his fa-
Their earned only Bavarian guIden for
every building plain he drew, he con-
trived at Il later period to send Franz
to school and to pay 10 gul,len a month
for his maintenance. But his school
days, beginning when he was II years
old, were brief and only calculated to tit
him for his fathers trade of builder.
1T the age of II he was taken from
school, and under the parental roof
learned to draw plans, while at the same
time he llbored as a practical builder.
He was fond of his work, and entered
into it with zeal, although the drawing
Of plans severely taxed his delicate eye
sight. But the use of the brush and
color III executing this work delighted
him, and, just as in the case of Turner,
it awakened the artist in him. During
the period of his apprenticeship he went
to Munich to study tigure-carving and
modelling in clay. Homer, painter of
some little reputation, hailing from Len
bach's native place, who saw his first
picture, says that Lenbach painted every
thing that came before him-half- naked
peasant boys, parts of horses, leg, a
foot, hand, or some fragment Of q
house; hens, dogs and cattle, and al
ways Under brilliant light. At 1G he
was already sufficiently equipped to earn
his living, painting flags, ensigns, shields
and presentation pictures. His Grief
patrons were the peasants, who, to cele-
brate some event of good fortune or e.
cape from peril, employed him to com
mennonite their gratitude on canvas,
For each head in a picture he received
IL gulden. Thus, his fnvorite and most
remlneratlve work was to find and paint
large peasant families.
