Employed on the New St.
Bernard Church,

The bricklayers and stonemasons
employed on the new st. Bernard's
church, went on strike at 1870 o.
clock this afternoon. There are two
stories as to the cause. of the strike
One is that when delegate from the
Bricklayers' union and delegate
from the Stonemasons' union visited
the other workmen shortly after noon
they were commanded to depart by
Contractor Lucas.
The other story is that the stone-
cutters have been laying stones. which
It is claimed is the work only of the
masons. 1t is said that, to investigate
this the delegates called 1t is also
stated that the difficulty between the
stonemasons and stonecutters has
been brewing for some time and came
to head today, resulting in the
strike. A Democrat reporter was un.
able to find any of the masons or
bricklayers who have gone out on a
strike.

little American girl may be stronger
than Sandow, the strong man.
She is 10 years old.
She stands five feet three in her
stockings.
She weighs 12S pounds.
Everything about her conveys the
impression of frailty. Her figure is
slim and but slightly rounded. Her
features are delicate. Her hair is
fair, her eyes brown and pensive. She
bears not the slightest resemblance to
the glowing, athletic girl of the day.
But she has done what no other woman
has done before, and what the
strongest man in the world would not
do again.
Psychologists might find here the
influence of heredity, for Miss Burdella
Patterson can prove that she is related
to Lafayette.
Try posing yourself, just for Illus
tration. The first five minutes it is
extremely uncomfortable. The second
five minutes it is distressing. The
third it becomes unbearable, or would
be, little Miss Burdella Patterson
says, "if it were not for will power"
This without the weight and ever
growing heat of the plaster.
Two barrels of plaster were used,
and the rough mold when finished
weighed 400 pounds. In this rough
mold soft wax was poured. When the
wax had cooled the plaster cast was
broken away and the replica of the
brave Miss Patterson appeared as
Diana.
The next day she posed for the face.
This, too, was difficult and painful. A
paper hood protected her hair, and
paper Vas placed over her eyes to pro-
tect the lashes and eyebrows. Two
rubber tubes were inserted in her
nostrils, so that she might breathe
naturally. Then the plaster, bit BY bit,
was placed upon her face and
smoothed by the hands of the artists,
Mr.. Asher and Mr.. c. Van Buren,, I'M
til its contour was exactly that of her
features. This was the shortest and
least painful part of the task.
The agony was in the seven hours
and thirty minutes that this 19-year-
old girl posed for the figure of Diana.
Eugene Sandow posed for a stand
ing figure of himself, not so difficult by
half as what this frail girl accom-
plished, and this is what he says of
the feat:
1T is the hardest job ever did in
my life. 1t is the greatest feat of en-
durance was ever called upon to per-
form. Good heavens! Time after
time thought I'd have to give it up.
The strain was awful. used to finish
up after each piece was done fairly
blown, perspiring and winded much
more than after any weight-lifting I
had ever done"

us, and we faced-an enormous lion.
AS it is said, things unknown, I'M
guessed at, flash sometimes in their
horrid and naked truth on the sense OF
the dying, so on my scared conscious
ness flashed the memory of those wor-
ried sheep.
The huge brute in the dazzling sun

back and beyond on the cruel stones of

But 10, an answer to my cry! Jan

But, thank heaven, Elsie is to live.

stones saved her sensitive soul from

WHY DO BIRDS MIGRATE.
Reasons Which Are Said to Go Back
to the Ice Age.


Woman's Home Speak
ing of birds coming back from the
South, let me explain, SO far as can,
where they have been, why they went,
and why they take the trouble to come
all the way back again. Many thou
sands of years ago birds didn't migrate
at all There was no occasion for
them to do So All the northern
countries, even Greenland and the
most northern parts of Europe, were
warm the year round, and the birds
and other animals which lived there
found everything they needed close at
hand. Gradually there began period
known as the 'Ice Period" when
large part of the northern countries
became extremely cold, and were
buried under the ice. The birds which
lived in these countries could not
stand the severe change, so the
sensible ones all went south, and
made the best of it. But they never
quite forgot their northern homes, and
long after, when the great icecap
melted away, and when the northern
countries became warm again, the de-
scendants of the birds, which were
driven out by the cold, went back to
their own country There they found
plenty Of food so they stayed and made
their nests and laid their eggs.
But alas! the climate was no longer
as it used to be-mild and warm the
whole year round. 1t was divided into
seasons, and the warm summer was
followed by cold winter They had
scarcely reared their young before they
found that the air was beginning to
get cold again, so as soon as the little
ones were strong enough to stand the
long journey they all flew away to the
south. But they never forgot where
their real homes are. Every spring
there comes over them a great longing
to go back and make their nests where
they themselves were born. They cam
not resist that longing. No matter
where they may be-down in the Gulf
States, in the West Indian islands, or
perhaps thousands of miles away in
the southern part of South America
back they come by tens of thousands,
and by millions, to their old homes in
the north

A WOMAN'S GREAT FEAT.
Stands Test of Endurance at Which
SandoW QuaiIs,


Miss Burdella Patterson, slight, fair,
below the medium height, is the
strongest woman in the world, say S
the New York Journal.
Sandow, the strongest man in the
world, has said it.
The test of strength is endurance"
said Sandow, and Miss Patterson has
stood the test. For over seven hours
she heroically posed sealed up in a
plaster of paris cast, for a statue of
Diana. at j, R. Palmenburg' shop, 262
Greene street in New York. She was
the first woman to pose for an entire
figure plaster cast. There had been no
other attempt because no one believed
that q woman could so pose and live.
She also posed as Psyche, life size,
too.
Six months ago the strong man,
Eugene Sandow, posed for AZ entire
figaro in plaster cast. When he had
finished he said. 'T-hat was the
hardest job | ever had in my life. ]
wouldn't go through it again for any
amount of money"
Miss Burdella Patterson says she
would be willing to pose in plaster of
paris once q week for the rest of her
lifetime.

eUTTA PERcHA IN NEW GUINEA.
The Germans Say They Have Found
Large Quantity of il.

New York Sun.-The German col
onial society, two years ago, offered a
reward of 5000 marks for the finding
of plant in any of the German col
onies which would supply gutta percha
suitable for cable purposes. 4 dis
patch from German New Guinea, re-
ceived few weeks ago, says that
gutta percha has been found there in
large quantities.
This is good news, indeed, for
scarcely any tropical product is more
needed. In writing on gutta percha a
while ago Major J. o. Kerbey SAID that
the demand for this substance was
now 600 times greater than the supply.
The reason for this is that gutta
percha is getting scarce, and it is the
only substance used for covering
ocean cables that Is not soon destroyed
by the effect of salt water.
1t is known that the gutta percha
tree thrives in the Philippines, though
1t does not abound there in great guam
titles. One of the reports OF the
Philippine commission encouraged the
belief that the industry there may be
largely developed. This should be
done if possible, as gutta percha is a
very paying product and would add
q great deal to the wealth of the is,
lands.
Until recently Great Britain and
Holland were supposed to own all the
gutta percha lands outside of the Phil
ippines. 1t now looks as though the
United States and Germany would be
added to the lands having large in
terest in this product. France also is
selling gutta percha Seeding TO all her
tropical possessions, and great atten-
| ton will hereafter be paid to several
' countries to the cultivation of this
i product.
! A discovery was recently made that
may have great effect upon increasing
the supply. 1t has always been sup
posed that it was necessary to cut
down the tree in order to secure the
milky juice. 1t is said that at least
l5o,0O0,000 trees have thus been de
stroyed in the past century. 1t Is now
asserted that method OF tapping may
be employed which will preserve the
tree so that it will produce for many
years.
