At meal time the dogs sit in a row, each with a tin dish before him containing his repsst; Grace is said by one of the monks, the dogs sitting motionless meanwhile with reverentially bowed heads. Not one of them stirs until the ‘Amen’ is spoken.

The heat of the sun would expand the metal and pull it out of shape, precisely as it does pull the Brooklyn bridge out of shape every day. The bridge is made in four parte, and when they expand with the heat of the sun they slide one past the other, and no harm is done. The river span rises and falls day and night, as heat and cold alternate. The great copper statue is likewise in twopyte. the, frame-, work - of iron and the copper covering; and while they are securely fastened togeth-' er they can move ode over the other. Each bolt will slip a trifle as the copper expands in the hot August sunshine, and slnle liack again -when the freezing wintls blow and the vast figure shrinks together in the cold. Besides this, thfc copjier surface is so thin and elastic that it will bend slightly when heated, yet keep its general shape. ^ The s^lt air. blowing in from the sea bus thin fingers and a bitter, biting tongue. If ifHnds a crack where it can creep in between the copper surface and the iron skeleton, there yyill lie trouble at once. These metals do not agree to gether, and where there is salt moisture®, iu the air they seem to quarrel more hittesly than-ever." It seems that every joining of points of copper and iron makes a tiny battery, and so faint shiv ers of electricity would run through all the statue, slowly corroding and eating it into dust. This curious, silent, and . yet sure destruction must lie pre- veuted, and so every joint throughout the statue, wherever copper touches iron, must be protected with little rags stuffed lietween the metals to keep them from quarreling. It is the same where- ever two different metals touch each other. Imagine what a tremendous battery the Liberty would make, with its tons of copiier surface and monstrous skeleton of iron. However, a little care prevents all danger, as provision will.be made, of course, for keeping the metals from touching each other.—.Yf PJichnln* /nr July. The GaT Wells. .
