| ctdttu III n ltlttT bHdt VI. Y.
who was to make model of the Vol
cano for Harvard, was one of the most
expert modelers in the world and would
be the best man available for such a
work. Curtis has modelled Greater
Boston for .he Paris Exposition, the
New Washington for the Congressional
Library; numerous models for the Ag.
assiz Museum, and many smaller mod.
els Of glaciers.
The proposed model of Kilauea will
be eleven feet by eight feet, and will
show every detail of the surface topo.
graphy, forests, cracks, steam holes
talus slopes, houses, trails, lava domes
spiracles, in natural form and color
from every point of view that one can
occupy in regarding it, so that the OBJ
server who has never seen Kilauea
will see it as far as landscape goes
when he looks at this proposed model
in the exposition building.
Gas work of extraordinary art,
wrote Mr.. Jaggar, "you will have a
model that will be one of the most re
markable features of the exposition, il
| mistake not.''
