of the great bronze statue of Lib
erty Enlightening the World" that
stands on Bedloe island, at the en-
trance of New York harbor; yet we
have never been there. This gi-
gantic statue, the largest in the
world, was presented to this country
by France, and was designed by the
great sculptor, Bartholdf The
statue itself is ISL feet high. The
pedestal upon which it stands was
erected at cost of 100000. This
money was raised by subscription
through the efforts of the New York
World Publishing Co. The statue
was begun some time prior to the
Philadelphia Centennial in 1876
and this hand that holds the fam
beau, was made and sent over here
and placed on exhibition. It was
not until about 1885 that the en-
