ITALY TO AMERICA. A GIFT OF \ COLOSSALi STATUE OF COLUMBUS. It Will Adorn the "Battery" In Xcw Ycrk Ciiy?A Visit to the Sculptor's Studio in Rome?At Work on the Statue. PEFORE the year 1S92 has closed the Italian residents of New York will present to that city, and through her to the nation at large, a great masterpiece of Italian art?the new statue of Christopher Columbus. As one of th? party of Araericaai now making thi ? ? ?? ? grand "tour di luxe1' of Europe, it has just been nn privilege to see this work as it is being developed in the studio of Andreoni here in Rome, writes a correspondent of the New York Advertiser. The shops into which we were shown by a courteous attendant were busy and extremely interesting places, where work could be seen in every stage of progress, from the rough block of marble to the finished statue. Above all else towered the colossal figure of Columbus, twenty feet high, surrounded by a large platform, where the meu, with hammer and chisel, were busily at work. A small window in the roof overhead admitted the daylight, and a powerful lamp hung from the rafters, ready for use when necessary as did a curtain or screen of rough burlaps, which inadvertantly fell in artistic lines, as if it, too, was in accord with the spirit of the place. The bold navigator wears the dress of the period, the richly embroidered doublet or waistcoat thrown back, revealing a kilt that falls in easy folds from a bodice drawn tightly over the broad chest beneath. Not only the attitude of the figure, but the expression of the face, is commanding, and as you look upon the clearly cut features you seem to feel instinctly the presence of the mau of genius ana power, wnicn tne artist has forcibly portrayed. Close at band stood tbe plaster cast which was used a3 a working model for the reproduction, covered with the regular, tiny marks necessary in making measurements. The copying from the model, whether the reproduction shall be of a corresponding size or is to be enlarged or reduced, is all done by exact mathematical calculations. As we followed our guide about the shops we soon discovered that the real manual labor was chiefly given over to the skilled workman. These employes not UDfrequently spend a lifetime in one studio, and become by their faithfulness and dexterity almost indispensable to tbe artist, for his part of the work is practically done when the clay model is finished. All fin or rrrnrloa nf rtrnrt and the larger piece3 of statuary must of necessity be made from the Carrara marble, as the softer anci mere easily worked qualities are found in very thin strata but a few feet thick and suitable only for small pieces which may be quickly and cheaply done. I FROXT VIEW OF STATUE AND PEDESTAL. In another part of the building we found a second group of men gathered about the figure of Genius, which will be placed on the front of the pedestal. It is a little over seventeen feet high and is represented as a winded angel bending over the globe, which it is intently studying while held beneath the open hand. On the sides of the base, between the massive posts which form the corners 'will be found the inscriptions, and, though tbey may not read the same, their import will be very similar to the old couplet which we used to sing in the school days of long ago, saying that? In fourteen hundre i and ninety-two Columbus sailed the ocean blue. On the front and back of the base the corresponding spaces will be filled with two magninceot allegorical pictures in base-reliet representing the departure from Spain and the landing in America by Columbus. The latter one is particularly impressive, and the story is most graphically told by the strongly drawD group, of which he is the principal figure, Btanding in an attitude of prayer up. on the soil of the New World he ha* Sue*- _ TV* the left are his sail. J**"" ? ? ore drawing the keel of a boat upon the sand, and on the right the Indians peep cautiously out from a thicket of maize at the strange creatures whom they mistake for the messengers of the Great Spirit. The beautiful shaft is of great height, the severity of outline being broken by alternating lines of figures in relief of the Lprow or rostra of a ship, and medallions composed of an anchor and a coil of rope. When completed the monument will be 121 feet high, including the four great blocks or steps which form the foundation, and, aside from the historical interest it may have as a work of art alone, its possession might well be envied by any city or nation. This great work was designed by ProI _____ feasor Gaetano Russo, who was born in Catania, Sicily, fifty-seven years ago. Craving opportunities for study and improvement, be made bis wav to Home when a mere lad but ten years old. In this great art centre his genius developed i early, aud his later years have been tilled with success. <%,- I "X v AT WORK ON COLUMBUS. "We found him pleasant and courteous, though he is said by friem'.s who know him well to have a variable and exceedingly nervous temperament, a characteristic which often accompanies the gift of I genius. It was also whispered that he entertains an almost morbid aversion to personal notoriety. Be that as it may, this late grand conception of his cannot fail to bring him new laurels at home, and win a greater fame for his distinguished name across the seas. Governor's Island, in the Bay of New York, was first proposed as being an eligible site for the statue, but we have been informed by a most reliable authority that because of its greater accessibil ity Battery Park will be chosen instead. A. more fitting spot could not be chosen, for there the daring navigator may overlook the vast commerce of the New World as it passes daily at his feet. We can almost, fancy him unbending from his dignity to exchange a neighborly salutation with the Goddess of Liberty across the bay, or indulge in a bit of flirtation some lovely summer night a3 he stands revealed in the light of the great torch which she holds aloft, Nor could anything be more appropriate than that he should be firat to welcome his countrymen landing upon the shores of America. A Novel Bridge. The problem of obtaining sufficient road communication across streams running through large cities without seriously interfering with the shipping interests is one which has always pernlp*fd encrmeers and citv authorities. J o A great many solutions of this problem have been made with various degrees of merit. The illustration here given shows the manner in which the problem is being solved by English engineers regarding the crossing of the river Thames in London. The cut represents a bridge which is to cross the Thames near the Tower of London, and is to be known as the Tower Bridge. The illustration shows the bridge open. The draw or opening span consists of two leaves each weighing 950 tons, which are counterbalanced in mulro tKom OUQO I bUCU a Luauuci as bv luanu -w handle. These leaves when let down come on a level with the main roadway of the bridge, which is thirty feet above high water. One hundred feet above this bride level and 130 feet above high water is another span or roadway to be used by foot passengers when the lower span is open. This upper roadway is accessible by elevators, which are placed TOWER BRIDGE, LONDON. in the towers at each end. When completed this bridge will be one of the most remarkable in existence, and will pan what is probably the busiest waterway in the world. The total length of the bridge with the approaches is 2G40 feet, and the steepest gradient of the approach is only one in forty. The foundations of the piers are sixty feet below high water, and twenty-seven below the bed of the river. The side spaus are 270 feet wide and twenty to twenty-seven feet above high water mark.?Railway Review. Mariners report that the fastest ship aflout is the City of Pekin, owne'i by the Pacific Mail company. She cost $1,000,000. Berlin is rapidly catching up with Paris in the daily nurnbjr of suicides. The most horrible methods are adopted by the unfortunates. THE REALM OF FASHION. "WHAT TO WEAR AND HOW TO MAKE IT. Smooth Finish About the Waist a Feature of the Season's Styles ? Odd OldFashioned Effects the Fad of the Summer G-irl. FEATURE that is f distinctive of the ' season's styles is the snug finish of the waist. In the initial illustration you see this accentuation of the figure by means of a corselet. The material of this dress is a crepon, and there is a lace collarette and a lace flounce. The deep cuffs and the corse~ let are of silk of the deepest stnpe of crepon. The culls are embroidered. You will find an elegant dinner or reception dress pictured in the illustration. It is a green satin trimmed with Chantilly lace? a very charming combination for a women no longer young. V fik I m -> ?f k A RECEPTION COSTCME. A charming gown for an evening fete is pictured. It may be made up in either silk or satin. The Watteau effect should be in watered satin and the skirt ruching may be in feathers or silk headed with gallon, which also encircles the bodice. The sash closes at the back under a rosette, and the lace forms epaulets and short sleeves. Tne skirt is gored and must be glove fitting at the hips. If the shoulders be narrow the lace epaulets should be set on very full to gain width. AN EVENING COSTfME. The Russian blouse in colors that will rival the gorgeous peony and outshine the dazzling poppy, will be a great favorite with IQe young IOIKS at summer resorts, turn n will behoove them to keep clear of country barnyards: least they excite the ire of the pompous turkey cock. In the illustration I give you an excellent view of the girl in a blouse, and to look at her it would take very little imagination to conclude that she had come over tbe fence rather than away around through the uate. This blouse is of surah, and has no seam at the back. The velvet ribbons stimulate a Swiss belt. The lower piece extends around the back, the ends crossing. The lace collarette has a velvet ribbon border which ends in a a bow at the back; the deep cuffs should be covered with lace. TUB RUSSIAN BI.OISE. The craze of the summer in the fashion line will undoubtedly be quaint, old-fashioned effects, to be attained by the use ofthe poke bonnet, mittens, crossed kerchiefs, sandal shoes and fairy god-mother sty..* generally. These quaint conceits of f' r* r<crj>p^ Li u uod:ku maidens. Queen Fashion are charmingly appropriate for some young people. I need not warn the girl with the long pointed no.se that she must keep clc : r of a poke bonnet. The effects might be altogether too natural. One sees nothing but round waists or else the basques are dress coat style only at the back, and those who pretend to stand behind Queen Fashion's throne say that waists are gradually creeping upward and will be Vw.f,,,.,. m.mv mnntlu Whn can say, possibly in the near future the modish miss will be lolling in graceful attitudes of cultured indolence upon the soft upholstered divan clad in genuine empire costume, Josephine style hair perked upon the top of her head, short waist, puffed sleeves, and long sheath skirt moulding the form with the clinging effect of soft silks. Certainly if the long cuff goes up much higher it will give the arm very much the look of being thrust into an empire sleeve. HATS AND BONNETS. Our Sisters Across the Seas Wearing1 Some Pretty Designs ?Paris Contributes Beauties. This is par excellence the year of pretty hats and bonnets: so the ladies say, and P\ /? t,iey are l'ie ^est judges.

Egyptian Habits. The ordinary inhabitant of the town passes his life in a simple and uniform manner. Before sunrise he leaves his couch, performs the morning ablutions enjoined by his religion, nnd repeats his early praver. To say his first morning prayer after sunrise is forbidden by the ordinances of his religion, and to allow the sun to rise over one's siumDering head is regarded as prejudicial to health. He then drinks his cup of colTee and smokes his pipe, either at home or in the public coffee-house. His breakfast, which he takes after the coffee, or sometimes before it, consists of the remains of the meal of the night before, or of cakes and milk, or for a trifle he procures from the marKet the ever-ready national dish of stewed beans. He then begins his avocation, buys, sells, writes, works, or moves about, all in the most comfortable, quiet, and deliberate manner. "What is I not done to-day must be done to1 morrow, if (Jod pleases," s'ands written on his forehead in large letters. The Egyptian mechanic cannot be bilJU LU UC l<llllOU?

The fine masonry of the older mosques would be thrown awav on the architectural tastes of the present day, and hence the race of skillful masons is becoming extinct. The colored glass which used to be made in great perfection for windows and lamp* is the product of a forgotten art, and most of the glass and china used in Egypt are imported from EuropeThe same fate has corne to the turners, who used to make the beautiful lattice window-screens; people now prefer glass, and lattices being no longer required, turners are forgetting how to make them. The potters do a good trade in unglazed porous vessels for cooling water, and the palm furnishes occupation to many hands. Egypt is no longer famous for fine | linen; its cotton and woolen stuITsare coarse and its silk of poor quality. The tanners, however, have not : forgotten their cunning in curing morocco leather, and thMove of ornament, extending beyoriG siioners, supports goldsmiths in all the small towns. Bio 8 Making Rugs. At Ahmedabad, India, I visited the factory where Persian rugs are made, writes Dr. Alice B. Stockham in the Kindergarten. All the weaving, most marvelous in colors and patterns, is done by boys under ten years of age, over two hundred being employed. A cotton web the size of the rug desired is stretched perpendicular, an older boy lies on the floor behind this web and calls oU the colors and number of stitches from a design printed in colors and he is responsible for perfection of copy. The small boys, many not over six years, sit in front of the web, hold a snarl of colors in their lap. They sit as close together as possible, and repeat the call of the pattern boy, then very nimb'y tie in the color with a sort of halter-knot, then cutoff the ends with a knife resembling the blade of a chopping knife put into a thin handle. After going across the web, the thread or knot is pushed with an instrument that has saw-teeth like a carpet stretcher. The deftnese and accuracy of these boys issimply marvelous. They work ten hours a day and receive from $1.00 *o $1.50 per month. They seem happy and interested in their work. A bright native overseer, although stammering somewhat, spoke "well" English. In reply to a question He said ine~ooys never went to school?did not desire to, an4 the parents did not wish them to. ''What can they do when they get beyond the age for the weaving?" I asked. He simply said, "I do not know." I suggested that some employers arranged lor hours to be devoted to euucation, and predicted that with the same energy aDd tact that had established this factory, they might yet find it to their interest to give the boys the advantage of some little education. The only answer was a silence that was more suggestive of the impossible than a spoken word. At Agru small boys were doing fine work in marble, making exquisite imitations of the marvellous ornamentations on the Taj and oilier structures in that wonderful city. I have some specimens showing not only the deftness of the boys, but the perfect manner in which flowers are imitated in marble colored stones being inlaid to represent form and color in perfection.?Boston Transcript. SenseB of Owl9. The hearing of all species of owla known to me is roarvelously keen; so keen, in fact that I know of no way of testing it, since it is so much more acute than that of man. If owls have the sense of smell, I am unable to find satisfactory evidence of it. I have tried various experiments with them, hoping to prove that they could smell, but the resuits are ail negative. They dislike putrid meat, but they bite it to ascertain its condition. They will not eat toads or frogi which yield an unpleasant odor but they did not reject these species until they had tested them by tasting. They may be ever so hungry, yet they do not suspect the presence of food if it is carefully covered so that they can not see it. This test I have applied with the utmost care to the great-horned, snowy, and barred owls. The latter are shrewd enough to learn my wajs of hiding their food, and when they suspect it* presence they will search in the places where I have previously hidden it, pouncing upon pieces of wrappmg-paper, and poking under feathers with amusing cunning. I tested them with the fumes of camphor, ammonia, and other dieagrecable and unusual smella, but they failed to show that they perceived tbem unless the fumes were strong enough to affect their breathing or to irritate their eyes. Finally, I put a cat in basket and placed the basket between the two owls. They were utterly indifferent to it until the cat made the basket I ?1 l?e nPu/tl'nifatA* I rocK, wiieu uuiu ui lucui ucu ? ]y, and could not be induced to go near the basket again. Although Puffy will put a cat to flight when on his mettle, Fluffy is frightened almost out of his wits by them. A Japanese toy-bird, made of apiece of wood Hnd a few scarlet feathers, was eagerly seized by Puffy, indicating not only a lack of power of smell, but the presence of an appreciaton of color. I have fancied that an appreciation of color is also oh own by barred owls in their frequent selection of beech trees as nesting-places, by great-horned owls in their choice of brown-trunked trees, and by Snowdon in an apparent preference for .
