STATUES OF SNOW.

\ Paris sculptor. with nm apprecia

greatly TO the appearance of drawing
rooms in the French capital TO all
intcntS ana purposes these statues are
carved out of the compactly welded
fleece. AZ 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 u
a mass of orders reaching the sculp-
tor and consequent substantial in
crease i'm his reyenueS-for he charges
top story prices for his products
came i'm the nature of an accident. 1t
was while the artist was being shown
the method Of ice making 10y machln-
cry that the plan presented itself to
him. The liquefied gases. he noticed.
in their Trip through the copper pipes
produced on the outside an appearance
Enthusiastically that of snow. This had
been caused by the disposition of the
water vapor of the atmosphere OH the
metal and freezing Of it by the action
Of the acid.
This system. reasoned the sculptor
might be applied to statuary And
ne applied il. \ statue Of thin copper
was quicKly constructed and box of
liqueGcd carbonic acid placed in the
case. When this gas evaporated the
effect of freezing was produced. the
moisture i'm the air attracted to the
copper sides and quickly frozen into
the semblancc of snow. Many beauti-
full designs have been turned out i'm
pursuance Of this principle and the
sculptor is said to bc reaping u golden
reward FOR his snow discovery.
