A COLOSSAL MONUMENT.

The monument To King Victor I'm
manuel, grandfather of the present king
and founder of united italy which was
dedicated i'm the presence of con-
course of nearly million people. ON
the Capitolinc HU at Rome is said
to be the most colossal structure of
its kind i'm the world. The equestrian
statue of the King Liberator Ia gilded
bronze can be seen from great dist
'ancc shining against the white marble
background of the colonnade The
statue is forty feet meh aud weighs
fifty tons. II was cast in eighteen
pieces, the work occupying two AMI a
half years When the casting was I'm
ished a banquet was served i'm the
body of horse for twenty people The
monumedt is composed of great por-
tico in white marble with sixteen i'm
mense columns surmountcd by "A
triczc. and at the ends quadrigac in
bronze. In front of the colonnado
stands the gigantic equestrian statute
of Victor Emmanuel ON a richly dee
GRATED pedestal, leading to which are
grand staircases decorated with foun-
tains, statues, groups ana antennac
with gildcd figures. Tho entire length
of the monument is 5Og feet, it's depth
$50 feet and its height ESQ feet Not
withstauding the relative cheapncss of
marble and labor in Italy the monu-
ment when completed will have cost
about S2OOooOoO. and will represent
thirty years work. The Interior of the
monument will be occupied 10y the mu-
scum of the Risorgimento. i'm which
will be gathered an the mcmcutos of
the struggle that led Italy to unity and
Independence. It will be several years
before the structure is completed.

with outlaw bands. but none Of them

While It becomes apparent, accord

seriously threaten the government,
the problem Of s%uppressing guerilla
warfare persists. The solution is be.

az any proof OF our steadily growing
commerce was needed It could be
found In the statistics Of our foreign
trade for January. An increase In the
value Of exports for. that month or
more than sSo,ooo6Oo, as compared
with January 1910; and an excess Of
exports oysf imports for January,
1911, toithe value Of nearly s67, 900, 900
Is a tremendous boost to the credit
side Of the national ledger. The ex.
cess value OF exports over Imports for
the seven months beginning July /,
1910. and ending January 81, 1911,
reaches the enormous sum Of $685..
o29. $3.50
1t is recognized full well that the
true values Of imports are declared
far more correctly now than in any
Of the past years for nearly half a. cen.
|turys Our declared balance OF trade
Is, therefore, far closer to the actual
amount than ever before and can be
depended Upon to have far greater
beneficial influence upon the business
Of the country than the apparent bal.
atncces, OF years gone BY, which were to
q large extent fictitious owing to the
