The Storr ' " ilrnm ronmlrr' Trnnatormullon of (inintirluiia A story Is told of n brass founder who was one day visited by n friend nctlug ns agent for one of the cities of Central America. The agent nsked what It would cost to cast n statue of Christopher Columbus for the public square of the city. The amount was far In excess of the sum which the man had nt his disposal. He was about leaving In despair of being able to se cure the statue when the brass found? said: "Come hack In the Junk yard and let lis see what can be found there." lie went hack, and the brass founder showed bill) a colossal statue of Cnm brlnus, recently removed from the front of n large brewing establishment Under his feet rested n beer keg. In his hand was a large and overflowing schooner, his beard was long and shag gy, and about his brows was wreathed n garland of barley and hops. "Why. this will never do." snld the commission merchant. "I want n stnt tie of Columbus." "Walt until I have touched this one up. Come back In about a week and see what you think of It. If It suits .ion. you can have It for the amount you have at your disposal." As soon as the visitor had gone the brass founder set two men at work on the lleure of (intnhrtuus. They re moved the beer keg from under his light foot and phced there an anchor and n coll of rope, from his hand thev removed the goblet and substituted a globe, with the continents traced on It; from his brow they took the wreath of barley and hops and substituted a wreath of laurel and then proceeded to trim up his whiskers. The lliilshlng touch consisted In putting at the base of the statue "Crlstoforo Colombo."

Wlille It Is tun dltlleult to secure good American workmen for carrying out fclieinos of Interior decorations. It Is Impossible yet to get native bom men capable of modeling statuettes and busts such ns nre sold ou the street corners nnd In many of the art shops, All the workmen employed In factories that produce these are Italians, chiefly from Ttisca'iy. This Is equally true of those who follow this trade In (ier many and I'm nee. The Tuscans n pear to have n natural ability for that sort of work that has glcn them the monopoly of It. The great majority of these busts nnd statuettes nre copied directly from the originals wherever fhoy happen to be. and then the molds nre made from that copy nnd sent to all parts of the world, the statues being cast In the nlnee where they are to be sold. In the lar ger shops In New York city, however. a vermin amount of original work Is done In order to keep pace with the popular demand for representations of the hero of the hour. A great many of our most distinguished poets, authors and statesmen wlio.se busts nre exposed for sale on the street corners never sat for these portraits. Some workman modeled the head after a photograph and occasionally has produced such good work that it Is almost a pity the sculptor's name should remain un known. The chief purchasers of these casts from the larger makers nre tho high schools nil over the country. They de mand, of course, not only classical sub jects and copies of ancient bas-reliefs ind architectural details, but nlso bustH of famous men uud women from every pel ion of the world's history. Such a wide range of subjects Is covered by tuts demand that seven and eight thou sand titles nre Included In some of the 'ntalognes Issued. Tho factories where these figures nre turned out exhibit In their showrooms an assortment mid confusion of time, place and nature be wildering to look nt. I lie process of casting these stntu- ettes Is a comparatively simple one when the mold Is once completed. The material mrd. plaster of parls. Is cluiip. aud n very excellent quality Is pioduecd In this country. When the stntuette conies out, It Is pure white ami covered with ridges made by the inherent sections of the mold. These ridges nre carefully removed, and then the cast Is placed lu an oven heated at about ISO degrees. After It has been baked for a ccitln length of time It Is plunged Into a solution of sienrlc acid nnd kept there until thoroughly satu rated. Then, when It has dried, tho yellow color Is gained by applying to the surfnee a solution of beeswax, tur pentine and coloring matter. This color will not wash off. and, of course, any shade can be produced nt will. ihe demand for nude statues In the art schools Is growing less every year. said one of the largest milkers of these casts. "That Is because people nre realizing more and more that nrtlsts must draw from the human figure It If If they wish to understand the human form. We get more orders now for driiped figures In the art school and for busts lu the high schools, Un til very recently tho busts of most of the celebrated Americans which wo sell had been made lu Italy from pho digraphs sent over from this country. mil tunny mistakes occurred lu mat lers of detail, like the cut of the coats nnil collars.

I lie statuettes which are carried 'ibout the streets wrapped lu linrmoul ails yellow tissue paper or are display ed on the sidewalks or on the steps of unoccupied houses nre mndo by quite a illlTereiit set of manufacturers. Tlie larger dealers do not sell to these street peddlers at nil. The peddlers have their awn little workrooms, which furnish them with their stock at a much lower rate than the regular dealers charge. No originals are made III these ntoUers. mid most of the molds are gullied bv Inking them from u enst bought from 4ome other firm. The stearic add batli Is left out of the process, and rouse- piently the color of these cheaper works washes off. The peddlers of these statuettes stand in about the same relation to sculptors mil sculpture that the hand organ plai its do to music ;ind musicians. They rellii fairly accurately the popular taste, and, according to their testl uioiiy. It Is the Tanngra figurines that in tlie long run sell the best of nil their itoik.
