IN VLADNOSTOK
WITH VIM. H. TAFT
American War Minister Re-
ceived With Much Spec
tacular Pomp.

Hardly was the anchor down before
several officials, gorgeously uniformed.
began arriving in steam launches to pay
their official calls to the American Sec
retary OF War. First came the fort ad-
miral. then the admiral of the feet in
the Pacific. then the military governor
and commandant Of the fortress, Gener-
al Irman. With the commandant came
two honorary aides. who attended the
Secretary during his visit in the port
These aides were men OF much proml-
nence. Prince Bariatinsky. representing
the army. and Capt. Baron Sacken OF
the cruiser Asl1old, representing the
navy.
The contrast between the outward
appearance Of the services OF the two
countries was most clearly defined dur
ing this first hour after arrival. when
the Russian authorities. picturesque and
to us spectacular In their gray great
coats. enormous black fur turbans and
shining boots, stepped on the quarter

sent arms, and the band, composed OF
F1llpinos fresh from Manila and never
before out OF the tropics, was so be-
numbed that the best IL could do was
TO produce half q dozen weird walls on
the horns and then give up. The ex-
pressions on the faces OF those FTliplnos
are long to be remembered. During the
waiting the instruments had become
frozen and the keys, Of course. were
quite stiff. The hills OF the great fort

PLASTIC THE GROUP,
THEN THE BRONZE
Three steps Necessary in
Making Good Statuary.
The Process.
Tedious Work and Also
Requires Much Real
Genius.

The uncompleted clay model for a
pieta lends opportunity for a glance
at the intricate and interesting pro-
cesses which a plastic group, after being
finished in the clay, will undergo before
IL finally is set up, an imperishable
bronze.
There are three steps in the making
of a bronze group; the fashioning of
the original model, which is in minia-
ture, perhaps a foot I'm height; the
replication of this model in clay and of
the desired size, which in this case ap-
proaches TO the life, and. lastly, the
casting in bronze. an operation which Is
taken out of the sculptors hands and
performed by skilled laborers at the
foundry.
The first two operations depend for
their interest upon the personality ana
genius of the sculptor being the work.
ing out solely OF his ideas through the
possibilities Of his technique But the
Hast detail possesses a mechanical SIDE
that Is worth describing From the fln-
ished clay cast a second cast is made Of
plaster. This is done by placing around
the clay original a thick coating OF pla-s-
ter, rendered more tenacious by an ad-
mixture Of hair or grass, which is taken
off in sections after II has hardened.
These sections, being placed together
again, form hollow mold. Into this
fluid plaster of paris is poured until II
forms a coating on the inside Of the
mold 10 the thickness of several inches.
When the mold is again removed, there
stands revealed a shining white repro
dutson OF the group.
The workmen now engage in a rather
ticklish Job. They remove from every
surface Of the plaster cast layer o.
an absolutely uniform thickness Of a
quarter OF an inch. The group Is now
therefore exactly as IL was before, ex-
cept that II is a fraction Of an inch
smaller in size. For the third time the
original mold is brought into requisi-
tion. When placed about the plaster
cast II Is separated from its every sur
face by the space Of quarter OF an
inch. This is the space that the bronze
is to fill.
After the metal has been poured In to
fill this space. and been allowed TO
harden the outside mold is broken of
for the last time, and the bronze group.
with It's plaster core, remains. The
sculptor then puts the finishing touches
10 the rough spots on the metal, and
tne'statue Is complete.
