Statuary for ST. Louis.

Karl Bitter, director of the depart
ment Of sculpture Of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition at st. Louis; Gus
tav H. Gerlach, superintendent of Mr..
BItter's shop, at WeehaWken, N. j., and
score of workmen are busy loading
into cars a part of the heroic size stat
uary which is to decorate the worlds
fair grounds and buildings.
1t is expected that the statues to be
shipped within the next few days will
reach st. Louis in time to be in place
for the dedication ceremony on April 80.
Mr.. Gerlach, who was the superin-
tendent for Mr.. Bitter for the statuary
work preliminary to the Pan-American
exposition and who was prominently
identified with the same department of
the Chicago exposition, says the num-
Der of groups made and being made for
St Louis is nearly twice as large as for
either of the others. There will be
somewhere between $50 and 300 groups.
The figures sent away yesterday were
nearly all of heroic size, varying from
eight to twelve feet in height. Among
them We're the four great pieces for the
Mines and Metallurgy building, two
male and two female. These were too
large to be loaded into even one of the
huge furniture cars without separation.
The four big pieces were each made in
two or more sections, which were &C
curately fitted together before they
were finally loaded piecemeal into the
car. The weight of one of the parts of
any of these, although constructed of
staff. is about 1000 pounds. The lower
portion of the figure symbolizing civili-
cation, for the Liberal Arts building,
was so tall that it could just be passed
through the doorway. The upper part
of the body and the pedestal were care
fully slowed beside it, and the three
pieces just filled the space between the
end of the car and its side door. All the
parts were raised to the necessary level
by ropes and pulleys.
One of the pair of mammoth lions for
the decoration of the grounds will be
completed within the next five dts.
These figures will be fourteen feet long
and about eight feet wide, and, on &C
count of the poses, nearly sixteen feet
high. Four more figures for the Mines
and Metallurgy building, each over
twelve feet high, and typifying COAL
copper, iron and gold, will go forward
about the same time as the first lion.
The pair of heroic figures in a sitting
posture, to flank the shield holders in
the tympanum Of the Machinery build
ing, are progressing well, and Giuseppe
Passa, the sculptor of the pair, expects
to have one ready for shipment next
week. The big Centaur and Cupid for
the Liberal Arts building have already
been shipped.
The beautiful female figure for the
colonnade Of the Varied Industries
building, which Bruno Louis Zim Is
modelling, will be ready for shipment
within a week.

EASTER FEAST OF
THE JAPANESE
1t Is the Feast of Cherry Blossoms
and Is for the Children.


TOXIC, April 1O.-At the time when
the Christian churches in Japan are
celebrating the Feast of Easter, the
people of Japan are making lanes in
country and streets and squares in
cities gay and respondent with the
children's feast of cherry blossoms,
to welcome the awakening of nature
out of the winter sleep. The origin
of this feast is undoubtedly contem-
poraneous with that of the Estore of
the ancient inhabitants of Europe, a
suggestion specially emphasized by the
recent statement of chronological ex-
perts that the Anus, or ancient inhabi-
rfants of Japan, are now known to have
been of Caucasion origin.
S.. Now, while the Christian Caucasians
have their Easter or Feast of Flowers
throughout the world, Japan marks the
season of the passing of winter Iethar-
gy with scenes equally typical though
IN Japanese fashion, with a strong ele-
1nent of the materialistic symbolism.
We had come expressly to witness
the ceremonial. The cherry festival
swas in full progress. 1t is the Japan
csc Easter, which celebrates the res
turrection of the fruits and flowers aft
ser six months of death. All Japan
trejoices, the children have a day set
apart for their special delectation and
the grown people do little but seek to
make the young people happy. Along
ToadWays, inch deep with fallen cher
ny petals, the children draw immense
movable temples Sometimes more than
a hundred little girls dressed in gorg-
.eous hues are in Inns pulling on the
ropes attached to these chariots, on
(which the boys, dressed in blue and
iwhite togaS,. ride and play on their
musical instruments, while the clever
est of their number, in masked faces,
render religious dramas on the elevat-
ed platform in front of the chariot.
The streets are choked with thousands
of grown people who give the day up
TO witnessing these professions, and as
the chariot and the children pass
down a carpeted avenue of cherry
trees and the gentle spring breeze
blows, constant shower of pink per-
.fumed snow falls from the cherry trees
and everything becomes hazy in the
enhancing mist of a pink snowstorm
of soft petals.
All nature SENS to take part in this
Easter festival of the Japanese chill
Idren. Of course, 1t is not a Christian
Easter, as there is but one Christian
in Japan to every 400 who are not,
and of late the ruling dispute in Toxic
has been whether the Buddhist forms
should be re-established or the Shinto
faith remain the religion of state.
Two weeks after witnessing the Jap
anese Easter celebrations 1 found my
self in Russian territory and Easter
Sunday approaching. A difference of
twelve days between the Russian and
European calendars throws Easter,
which is governed by the moon, just
one month later in Russia than with
us.
