CASTING BRONZE STATUARY.
Few Foundries for the Purpose in This
Country-Expensive Process.

Few Foundries for the Purpose in This
Country-Expensive Process.
Although in the making of bronze
statuary the casting is very impor-
tant and vitality necessary operation"
said Fred H. Knapp, an artist, there
are only seven foundries in the United
States where it is done.
Perhaps, indeed, it is just because
so much depends on the founder, and
so great must be his skill and his
knowledge of the sculptor's art that
the foundrie are so few. A great deal
Of such work is now turned out in this
country, and every now and then
foundry is started, only to make fail
ure because of lack of the peculiar
skill needed. It seems hard to get
skilled workmen.
"The making OF the marble statute
is done entirely by the sculptor or by
workmen and students in his studio
and under his personal supervision.
The bronze statue is not only made
in the sculptor's studio, but it is al
most invariably an enlargement of the
sculptor's model, which enlargement
is made by the casters, and through
methods of which the sculptor himself
may know nothing at all.
THE making Of bronze statuary
is expensive. Exclusive of the amount
paid to the sculptor the founders
charge for a life size statue runs up
from $500. The larger and more in
tricate the design the greater the cost.
but a single life size figure in simple
dress and pose may cost as much as
81 200"

Per Cent.

When you get great mass of for

in one section, as in the case with the
Russians and the Italians, you put up

A glance at the percentages gives
the surface impression that the chill
dren of American parentage are ever
SO much better than the children of
foreigners, but we have very little
cause for congratulation when it is re-
membereG that the city of New York

When you have educated your immi-

you will have found the answer to the
highly important problem of the child
whose delinquencies have so crowded
an entire court daily as to make new

Nine. Kasebier, the famous New
York photographer, is very fond of In
dams. When Buffalo Bills Wild West
show was playing an engagement in
the city she gave a reception to the
Indians, inviting a hundred or more
OF her friends to meet them.
The Indians made gorgeous sight
in their native costumes. Their feath-
cred head dresses were particularly
large and splendid. One little girl
who had been brought by her mother,
and who had never seen an Indian be-
fore, gazed with open-mouthed aston
ishment at these strange feathered
creatures. Finally she turned to her
mother and said: Mamma, do In
dams lay eggs?"
