Miss Leila Hamlllon wan the chief stcn-
ographcr In the banking office of Harrlcon
Brothers , State street , lloston. She directed
the feeding of six other typewriting nm-
chlncs , and she kept her subordinates busy
from morning until afternoon. Miss Hamil
ton was not only Invaluable to her employ
er ) ! ; nho was also of grtxit use to her sex , In
whoso emancipation she waa moat vitally con
cerned ,
M'cs Hamilton was , In fact , a fair specimen
)
of the "n2w woman. " Her gre.lt ambition
was to sto woman In full pocsejslon of the
ballot , rlslng'pn great billows of reform , until
oil the sins of wicked man wcro swept away
In ono grcat'tldal wave of feminine votes.
dint Miss Hamilton , like a great many of
her profession , was a very attractive young
woman. She possessed large and lustroun
blue eyes , which lookeel' steadily and straight
into the eyes of others anl gave Urth to new
Kcmutlons In the hearts of the wicked men.
When fho had awakened these emotions ,
these flowers of the human heart , she had a
cruel way of nipping them In the bud , anil
they felt bllRfated from their stems ,
In short , MUs Hamilton had all the ap-
poiranco of being a pretty.'happy , guileless
chorus girl , while she was at heart a com-
ilnatlon of Mlts Susan H. Anthony and Dr.
Mary Walker.
"Tals year , when my summer < t cation
comes. " she told one of her colleagues , "I
am going somewhere where I can rest and
where 1 won.'t bo troubled by men. I have
discovered un l-cal place at Wauwlnot , on
the Island of 'Nantucket. It's a little neck
of land , and on one side Is the surf , and on
the other the still water. It Is out of the |
IcrrJble rush , and there are a great many i
women there , and as far as I know , not OM
single man If th.it Is not a paradise , I do i
not know what Is. "
Thus It happened that Miss Hamilton I
landed at the Wamvlnet house , where she
fcacsfully established herself for three weeks
rls , and for a moment forgot her prejudices
by calllni ? for help. "Charlie" heard , and
was ready to do the'heroic. Mlrs Hamilton
was vainly trying to stem the Irreslnlblc
tldo. It took less tun | ! a minute for Har
ris , somewhat lighter by the clothing he had
hastily taken fr. m his back , to reach the
boat. His dripping and somewhat unusual
condition was scarcely noticed. Miss Hamil
ton had forgotten bis sex ; at the same time
she forgot her prevailing opinion of his
kind. Her heart swellel with gratitude as he
terak the on. . Hut "Chirlle" Harris was un
able to cops with that tide , and the boat
and Its two occupants went sweeping along
fnntqr and faster until It was among the
heavy breakers of the sea.
The pair were * badly frightened ; In fact ,
"CharllD1 'later acknowledged that he was
the more "rattled" of the two. In the mean ,
tlmo It was ugly w'ork to keep the little skiff
fiom being twainpe.l In the breakers.
It chanced also that "Charlie" had him
self bsen observed , and a party of a dozen
) oung gentlemen were s on observed to be
making hasty efforts to launch a big boat.
Then "Charlie" perceived a party of his
frlemls making good progress toward his
boat. Ills feelings were somewhat mixed.
His desire-to bo saved wag divided with the
hope that he might have thu honor of caving
Miss Hamilton alone. He was disappointed ,
however. The little boat was brought along-
tldo and the pair was transferred safely
aiid brought to shore. Then "Charllo" no
tlcod his own condition , and quickly fled
without further conversation. Miss Hamil
ton also came to her senses and started for
the hotel without a word
She said nothing about her adventure to
the array of severe matrons , who lined the
piazza as she approached , and , eating her
supper as eiulckly as possible , she joined the
group , which wan busily discussing the
propaganda of their cause > .nd the campaign
which was to bo waged for the emancipa
tion of women. Somehow , the old subject
had lost some of Its savor to Miss Hamilton.
She talked less and seemed to have lobt her
animation. Her thoughts were on another
subject , which would have caused a severe

Df uninterrupted rest. The only really ex
citing thing was the pounding of the surf
on the ocean cldc of this attractive and
unlctue bl * of sand.
Jilts Hamilton was greeted by a little
bevy cf women who wore spectacles , had little -
tlo rod oases at the end of their nos.s , and
wcm plain In their drct > s , and In general ,
strict In their appearance.
"Wo are so glad you have come , " they
exclalmi ! . ! In a chorus , "and It Is EO nice
to have one so young and girlish looking
Interested In , the great cause. " And they
cackled over her and caresscJ her until the
few men In the olfico were quite wild with
Jealousy.
Miss Hamilton had made only one mis-
take In her catalogue of the advantages of
Wainvluct , AB It happened , there was a fine
old mansion , which had stood for years unused - | I
used on thla little neck , and had been re
cently purchased by a party of bachelors and
clubmen from Now York City. Hero they
liail eetablUhfd themselves for their first | i
season. Thus It happened that there were'
really twenty single men Instead of none at
nil when Miss Hamilton made her first ap-1
reaiance. I
Miss Hamilton rose early after a fine night's
rest. She e'lijoycd with equal ? est her break
fast. In which broiled blue fish caught that
morning , was thn chief dish. Then fho
started out for a ramble along the licaeh.
Bho looked down toward 'Sconset , saw the
eoarliig tower of Sankaty light , and trudged
toward It as a magnet draws Us Ir n.
This brought her pabt the clubhouse , whore
nil unknown she became an object of great
Interest.
"Oad , Charllo , Just look there. " called
"nilly" Hills from the reading room "and
< lcn't ga too near the window , or you will
Boaro her. 'Hut ' Jove , Isn't bhu a rare bird
for Wflliwlnct ! She Is the < first goad-looking
Blrl I have seen slno wo arrived , .lust
watch her Kilt , end that Jaunty peso.
Illamcd If I don't 'believe ' elie Is doing It
Juattfor our benefit ! "
There wcro now a dozen heads slyly lookIng -
Ing out the window. There was also a
unanimous desire to make the young lady's
( acquaintance.
"Guess I'll take a little stroll , " quietly
observed "Davy Holmes , "Think I need a
llttlo exorcise. "
"No , you don't , " a half dozen voices ob
jected. "You are too well known. Yon may
disgrace yourself In New York , as much as
you like , but here we want to bo respecta
ble. " So "Davy" subsided and bided his
tlmo.
A howling northeasterly storm had ers\ the
neck of land on which Wauwlnel stands In
two pieces. This breach occurred at the spot
whVcli had always been called the "haulover. "
because It was the narrowest spot where the
fishermen hauled their boats over to the
other side , It was now called Ihe "Opening"
and was growing wider arid wider , M !
Hamilton began at once to harden her mus
cle ? by rowing , and had rented a small skiff
( or the season , She came to this opening ,
and , little realizing the danger when the tldo
was running , the boldly rowed up to It unit
suddenly found herself carried along toward
the open sea by a power as unmaiiagcablo
OR It w.i Imperceptible , This waa on. the
cvculcig of her first day. "Charllo" Itarrli
b3 ticen her set out , and was slyly following
unseen behind the hedge of baybcrry which
grow along the footpaths of thn neck.
Ho saw Miss Hamilton's boat enter tbo
breach and noticed Its swift course toward
the surfalde. Ho thought at first that Miss
Herallton hindlcd the oars In a manner
which would be creditable to an Amazon. IIo
had only btxm here a few days and was quite
CB Ignorant as Mlis Hamilton herself of the
great danger In which eho rowed ,
But aa Miss Hamilton approjchct ? tbo
broad opening , which leads to tbo great
KOCD , eue became alarmed. Bhe ia-.v Har-
leprlmund had tljiye been any thought read
ers In the group.
"Charlie" Harris was also suffering In a
different way.
"Wo are etolng to apply to the life-saving
service , old man , " said "Reggie" Bowles "for
a station hero to rescue pretty girls In the
summer ; but I'm afraid you'll not bo cap'u ,
Charlie. "
"He needs one UK bad as the glrlb , 1
guess , " fy-.ld another.
Each ono had a llttlo. jibe , until It was
too ha for "Charlie. " He went to his room
and diVEscd for the evening. It was bourne
. In him that he owed .Miss Hamilton an apol
ogy ; at all events , It made an excellent cx-
j I cuso.
] | He left the. room without a word , while
some one shouted :
"Ho's going to see his cousin , to receive
his reward , " and the chorus Joined In the
laugh.
As "Charllo" approached the hotel ho no-
tlced Miss Haml'ton and he ejuletly cursed
to himself when he saw her surroundings
MfM Hamilton also noticed him , and her color
deepened. It was just this moment that she
began to hate the "cause. " If It had re-
ejulred courage the first time ho approached
Mlf.s Hamilton , this second attempt was
enough to try the metal of an old cam
paigner.
" 1 beg pardon for Intrrnipting , " ho fald ,
"but I should like to speak to you , Mlns
I Hamilton. "
I The entire company rose as If governed by
the same Impulse , and departed with elevated
] noses. Miss Hamilton and Harris hail the
i placa to themselves. .
i "I have rome , er to apologize cr for a
rather or unfortunate event. In fact cr
I must admit er that well that I can
hardly flo mjHolf the honor of having eavcd
i you and your boat. "
I "On the contrary , " she said sweetly , "I
, feel that I ewe you a debt of gratitude which
I1 can hardly repay , Pray put yourself ut
i ease. I am told It fa a very dangerous spot ,
and it Is a wonder that wo both escaped , No
I one ) knows of our adventure , so I beg that
you will bo discreet. It would bo very com-
1 promising If it wcro known to er to my
frlendh. "
Then followed a long conversation , and at
the departure Miss Hamilton found to her
' surprise' that she had actually accepted an
'Invitation to visit Sankoty light the next day.
I When the two departed the next morning
there was a wave of dismay In the camp of
thu woman suffrages.
I "It is a moflt disgraceful proceeding , and
uhei IK no longer respectable , " declared the
leader of the crowd , and heir opinion was ro-
' gardcd as final ,
! MI B 'Hamilton ' was no longer troubled by
' their society. StrankHy enough , she was no
longer concerned over the degraded condi
tion of woman. She became the outcast of
the women of Ihe colony , who rose when
ever she approached and departed with a
majestic air of offended decency The three
weeks wore on and 'Mlsr * Hamilton de-partcd ,
"Pharllo" Harris , was ac much of an out-
past in his et , and was moved to depart on
urgent business tbs iiejxt day after ( Mlts
Hamilton rcturneid t9 Boston.
"I never suppoatii that Charlie Harris was
such a 'cad,1 said' "Reggie" Dowlea , "and
I move that we don't iinvo him here next
year. "
It 'was a unanimous vote.
When Mlaa Iela | Hamilton roturrx-d to
the old olllce on State street bhu was dis
covered to 'bo ' aa charming and girlish ab
over , and It was lsa notleexl that certain
callers , whom tfho had been wont to receive ,
came no more. It was further chronicled
that there were other things about Mlts
Hamilton which were new and Gtrnucc
6ho was subject to mood of deep ellgtme-
tioa , whca Uu color on berace deepened ,
and aho turned licr head away. When Ihe
postman cmno , and a letter was handed to
her an event of three or four tlme ft
week Miss Hamilton would turn a little palo
and quickly Tilda It In her walnt.
A month later these events -had their ex
planation when MUn Hamilton , came to the
office , with a sparkling object on her en-
jagemcnt ( Inner , and the venerable senior
lartner received her resignation to take
effect In November.

. North I'ulc.
Jonas Startling , who accompanied Andreo
o Dane's Island and witnessed his dcpir-
.ure toward the north pole , contributes to
ho Century nn article entitled "Andrce's
'light Into the Unknown. " . Mr. Stadlln ?
The aeronauts wcro Impatient to start this
year. They had decided to wait for really
avcmblc winds until the 17th of July. After
that elate they were prepared to start with
less favorable wind.
In my talks with them about the risks
and dangers of their undertaking ( hey said
at various time ; :
"We have taken all Into account. We arc
prepared to face whr.tever may happen. "
"Suppoto the balloon should burst , " I
asked , "what then ? "
"We shall bo drowned or crushed. "
"Suppose you light on the pack Ice , far
away In the desolate pslar regions ; what
will you do ? "
"Wet shall do our best , and work our way
jack cs far as possible. Having durliig
bete last years thought , worked and cal-
nilatod In preparing for this expedition , we
lave , so to rpeak , mentally lived through
all pesslbllltlcs. Now we only desire to
start , and have the. thing finished some way
or other. " '
While talking about home and the loved
ones their faces would assume a more seri
ous expression , and p. faint quiver of the
volco might be noticed ; but there was no
wavering of purpose.
"Whun may we begin to hope to hear
'rom you ? " I asked.
"At least not before three months ; and
ono year , perb.ps two years , may elapse be
fore you hear from us , and you may one
day be surprised by news of our arrival
somewhere. And If n t If you never hear
fiom us others will follow In our wake
until the unknown regions of the north
lave "been surveyed. "
Those who think the expedition ! a feat of
foclhard'aefs should remember that , humanly
speaking , all pof3ibleprecautlons were taken
toward securing a safe voyage. A now and
larger bal'oon might have been made during
the previous winter , but Andree preferred
to enlarge the old ono ; besides , a larger
balloon would have been still more dllllcult
- handle.
Regarding the ascent and departure of the
balloon and Its crew , Mr. Startling says :
"After a pound sleep elurlng the night
( July 10) ) ' we were awakened the following
morning with a joyous cry which rang out
In chorus from the younger members of the
balloon expedition : "Southward ! A t'trong
and steady south wind ! " We rolled out of
our beds , Jumped Into our clothes , and ran
up on deck. Andree had already gone
ashore. I hurried after , gave the carrier
pigeons food and water , and went to the bal
loon house. Andree. who the night before
had said to one of the younger members cf
the expedition , "I feel that It will not be
long before wo shall go up , " looked a trllle
more serious thin usual as ho walked about
inside the balloon house and looked up at
the balloon.
After a few moments consultation , It wai"
decided to wait for an hour , during which
time the three aercnauts were to finish their
correspondence and all privatepreparations. .
The fated hour passed : another consultation
was held on top of the billoon house. Be-
sldco the aeronauts , M. Machuron of Paris ,
the no-hew of M. la Chambre , the balloon
manufacturer , took part In this consultation.
.Andrco asked each one peparately to give his
rplnion. All were In favor of starling , al
though the strong wind made the start tome-
what risky. Then they came down. Andree ,
as he went on board the Svensksund , seemed
to bo more pensive than ever.
The next morn'ng Andree told the captain
of the gunboat , Count Khrecsvard" , that he
had decided to start. Iminejdlctely the order
was given to make the final preparations.
This was 10:45 : .1. m. on the llth of July.
Then followed a few hours of Intense work
and great suspense. In less than an hour
the northern side of the balloon house wafi
pulled down , and In a little over two hours
more the 'balloon had been raised a few
meters , the basket securely fastened to UP
place , and everything else belonging to the
last nrer-iratiopfi accomplished.
All being ready to start , Anrtree called
mo aside ar.rl told me that he had decided
to call his Silicon the Eagle ( Omen ) , and
authorized mo to publish Its name ; he gave
ms some messages and salutations to his
relatives and friends , whereupon he , Mr.
Strlndberg and Mr. Kraenkel , smiling , and
without ceremonv , warmly shook our hands
and bade us farewell. Then Andreo jumped
Into the basket and called out. "Strlndberg !
Kraenkel ! " each jumping quickly Into the
basket as they were ordered. The extra
acks of sand were then unfastened by
Ftrlndberg and Fraonkel. and the ballo-n
was held only by thtcc strong ropes manned
by a number of sailors.
Andree now Instructed the tailors to cut
the ropes when he should say "Three ; "
'I hero followed n few moments of suspense
and painful waking for a favorable mo
ment when the wind shnild net blow so
hard. Kxactly at 2:30 : in the afterroon An-
ilree called out with calm and steady volco ,
"Cut ! one , two. three ! " A simultaneous
snap , and the gigantic l > 3lloon rose ma
Jestlcally out of its prison , while Count Eh-
rensvnrd shouted. "Lefve Andree ! " ( "Good
tuck to Andreo" ) , fallowed by a strong
< ? wfdlfm fourfold "Hurrah ! Hurrah ! Hur
rah ! Hurrah ! " while the daring aeronauts
shouted baek from above , "Hesla gamin
Sverlge ! " ( "Silute old Sweden ! " ) as the
balloon , lifted and started before the strong
wind , on Its way to the unknown regions
of Ultima Thule a voyage m-ro daring
than any since old Pythcas. more than 2,200
yeara ago , sailed out of the port of Massllla
( Marseilles ) , steering towiml the unknown
rc 'ons ' of the north.
As the balloon was being cut loose I ran
upon the side of the mountain 'behind the
balloon house , from which point I saw It
ascending , and ) took a. number of pictures of
It an It started. With Its weight of about
five ; tons , the gigantic balloon rose wjesti-
cally lo a height of about COO feet , then It
suddenly descended until the basket touched
the surface ) of the water. This depression
was no doubt caused by1 the great rosis'inco
of the three heavy guide ropes , each meas
uring more than 900 feet , and which In some
way or other must have caught upon some
thing elur'ug ' the ascension ; for It was found
that a larro part of 'them had been severed
from the balloon and left on the shore. Not
withstanding this mishap which It Is hoped
caused no Injurj- , since to the balloon were
attached olsht ballast-lines , each 250 feet
lemg , which might be used to lengthen the
guldo-ropea the asce-ntlon
was accom
plished successfully. In spite of the strong
wind. When the 'balloin ' had been relieved
trani the' tension of the tangled guide-ropes ,
it rose again , following the current of the
air between the mountains , first northeast
and thesn north , whereupon It rose to some
l.GOO feet , enabling It In pass over the
mnuntaliuus Island of Fogelsang , after an
hour finally disappearing in a north-north ,
cast , direction ,

SCULPTORS WORKING IN THE FIELD

A strong ethnological movement has been
started In various scientific Institutions
throughout the country. It has for Its ob
ject the prcservaUomof the facial and bodily
characteristics ofthx > Amcrlcar.i Indian. Re
alizing that It Is. oven now almost too late ,
ethnologists of Uo United States are at
tempting to stamp .In Imperishable bronio
and marble , tbcforei the last full-blood has
passed away , thoVfoalurcs of the Indian's
countenance.
It Is a mighty -work and one that will re-
qulro yearn to round'out adequately. Until
rv the story of the tribes of the Indians
of North and South ) America has been car
ried down only In drawings , legends , 'bits '
of garments and Implements. None of these
portrayed ' the Indian , precisely , certainly not
sclentiric'ally. The scientists have a twofold
object In their present work. They pro
pose I not alone to fix the Indian as he la
today t , but also by comparisons adroitly
niado to discover the origin cf the race.
The leading Institutions In the country
have this task In hand. Some have already
made gcod progress , others have only just
started on the work. It entails great ex
penditures of money , for expeditions muat
bo sent out to far distant reservations and
Into the < wllds of almost unexplored lands.
Sculptors of high Intelligence and technical
skill must bo engaged and the experts of
each museum or university must travel
months to direct them , Half a dozen men
are today working In Alaska , Now 'Mexico '
and Central America to gather material , to
discover tribes and. Individuals of historic
Interest untouched as yet by thu march of
civilization.
PLAN OP THE WORK.
Life masks and photographs arc being
taken and from these are being constructed
busts and statues that scientists say are
the first absolutely accurate presentment
of the American Indian. Every possible
Held Is belnfj explored for full-blooded men
and women of the ancient tribes. Though
these are rare. It la hoped that eventually
nearly every Important tribe will be some
where represented. Ono or two of the Insti
tutions anl museums are going even further
and arc modeling groups , showing Indians
in the sporte , hunting or domestic labors.
These are not the "stock tableaux" dear to
the eye of the younger generation , but groups
that have passed the eye of eomc noted
ethnologist and traveler and have been de
clared complete and correct.
The movement Is as yet barely started ,
but already a great number of prominent
scientists are taking an active part In It.
Chief of these are O. T. Mason of the Na
tional museum at Washington , Prof. F. W.
Putnam , Prof. Frederick Starr , Dr. Franz
licas. Marshall H. Savllle , Or. George A.
Horsey , Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Converse and
Prof. Frank H. Gushing. Of the Institu
tions which have niado the most progress
are the Peabody Museum of Archaeolqgy and
Ethnology of Harvardc ollegp , the University
of Chicago and the American Museum of
Natur.il History , New York. The National
museum at Washington , with Its famous
collection of Catllu Indian drawings as a
nucleus , has much iu the way of groups.
About to actively enter Into this work are ,
the Field Columbian museum of Chicago 1
and the University of Pennsylvania.
ORIGINATORS OF THE PLAN.
.
Prof.Putnam of Harvard , Mr. Mason of
,
Washington and Prof. Frederick Starr of
Chicago are the originators of the scheme.
Twenty years ago the sculptor , ' Clark Mills ,
acting for ths National museum at Wash .
ington and the IVabody museum at Cam . ,
bridge , 'Mass. ' , made casts of a number of
Cheyenne Indians held as prisoners by the ;
government , and. from these casts a set of
busts was made foneach Institution. Th ° so i
busts are still on exhibition and are run-
sldercd accurate In their way. At the time
of the World's fair , at Chicago Prof. Put
nam , In charge of 'the anthropological sec
tion , made many Indian measurements and
observations and a few groupsposed for
the purpose of displaying gmincnts and or-
namcnts. But these , as he bays , were mcro i
"lay figures , " and there was no attempt
to make them scientifically correct. As y- < .
the plan , as it now has been worked out ,
'iad ' not been realized. It was not until thla
year that scientists , awakening to Its pos
sibilities , b.gan to put it into actual opera .
tion. At the Peabody museum there have ,
been placed , besides a mass of minor In
dian curiosities , six full models of first Im
portance , made by a clever sculptor from
molds and photographs. These have an ac
tual ethnological value- and were turned out
under Prof. Putnam's own supervision. They
represent the Utcs , the Mu > as and a tribe
of Eskimos. Others will soon bo made.
Prof. Putnam's greatest effort Is being put.
on the work in the Natural History mu-
biium , Now York , for which the young
American sculptor , Caspar Mayer , a pet
pupil of J. Q. A. Ward , has been engaged.
HOW THE MODELING IS DONE' .
Day In and day out Mayer Is working in ,
a studio on the upper Door of the museum , j I
modeling busts from casts , life masks and
photographs ho secured this past summer , I i
Through Harriet Maxwell Converse of New '
York , an honorary Indian chief herbt-lf ( made 1
so because of her services to the Indians ) , ( '
iand tjis only white woman that ever attained
this horor , he gained the entree to the Cat-
tamugaG' reservation , near Huffalo , and the
privilege of making studies among these pee ,
ple. Mrs. Converse went with him an ! devoted - j |
voted a fortnight to selecting types. The ex- i
pedltlon was more than successful. They ; 1 '
secured types of all the famous Six Nations , 1
that celebruteii confederacy of airly colonial
days , embracing the greatctt tribes of the J i i
cast. In addition scoresi of other masks and
photographs were obtained , and In the rough
material has already been collected to bhow
twenty separate and dlutltjot tribes of the ,
cast. i
The Mohawk blood and characteristics were '
found pure In Willie llonili.'io , a young In- ' ,
( IIan of Canada. For the fierce Senccas' corn j
planter a pagan preacher was selected. It |
took Infini'o pains , but a pure blooded Cayuga - !
uga , nn Ondda , an Oromlaga and a Tuscarora 1
were finally found , and the last Delaware I
in existence , The expedition had been made
just In time ,
Iloildes this bust work of ( Mayor , a fine
group of four Alaskan Indian figures ban i
ben set up , showing two men and two wo-
iiua at domebtlo tasks. Prof. ROKS has' '
brought 'back ' from Alaska much valuable i i
material relating to the primitive tribes ,
there and Prof. Savlllti has startol for |

eled , even though their members are now
well scatturcd and degraded , will fall Into
the hands of Prof. Frederick Starr of the
Unlve-rslty of Chicago , who Is m st enthusi
astic In thte new branch of science
From New 'Mexico , at the Qtteres ptipblo
of Cochlte , Prof , Starr has Just brought back
to the university a series of sixteen masks ,
which he believes to 'ho ' the finest series
ever made from ono single Indian tribe.
The busts niado from these are unusually
fine. They show thirteen malcn , from 12 to
73 years of ago , and three fem.ilen. whoso
a ts range from ID to 40. Tvclvo seta of
these busts nro planned , some white and
others colored , and they are to be presented
to leading Institutions throughout the coun
try.
try.At
At the national museum there are , be
sides the Clark tMllls busts , a number ef
casts of the Indian hoys of the Carlisle
school. In addition to these Mr. 0. T. Ma
son , the curator , has prepared carefully
groups , correct In modeling and characteris
tics and pointing out vividly the features of
Indian life. These have been highly praised
by scientific men. , and the faces and forms
arc substcntlally correct , A sculptor who
has studied In Munich Is employed on the
fuces , and no expense la spared to hove
every detail perfect.
In all probability the National muscitm
will send an elaborate exhibit to Paris , "to
represent , " as .Mr. .Mason says , "tho phases
of life existing aboriginally in the western
world. "
