HOW BRONZES ARE MADE. ‘Prom the New York Times} Frederic Vors. who bas charge of the bronze department at Tiffany's, delivered a lecture last on the manufacture and uses of bron: at _the Cooper Institute. After quoting M. Thicrs’ expression that “luxury indicates civilization,” Mr. Vors said that what lithography, photography and engraving bad doue for printing, brouze casts bad done for sculpture. Patverns were made in wax, plaster or wood. 6 art- iste used one: medium and some another. For common work, such as chandeliers, the pattern was usuaily made in wood. It mat- tered little, however, what was used, pro- vided it would afford angles and a sharp, ¢lear, smooth surface. Formerly, in copyin; jarge pieces of statuary, the artist work entirely by eye, aud the resalt was that bis copy Was never perfect. It always hadsome Of the actist’s individuality in it. In 166 Achille Collas, a Frenchman, adapted the pantagraph to obtaiulng redaced copies of antique statues. Mr. Vors then explained by means of diagrams how the pantagraph worked. Bronzes, he said, can only be cast in sand. In no other mediam wili the molds “take,” as the workmen say. The best sand is the maguesiam, whieh is obtained in the ts near Varis. The pattern by the artist is laid on @ bed made Of this sand, which is mixed with lamp- biack and beaten dows hard. Pleces of this sand and lamp-black are ihen laid on the pattern, so that they can be-‘drawn,” accord- ing tothe technical term, and the mold is built ap over the pattern likeso much brick- work. The finest bronzes are the thinnest. ‘The popu iar idea is just the contrary of this, most people supposing that the heavier a brouz® cast the more valuable it is. The Japanese and Chinese model tu ciay. Tois is Waxed, then the outside mold 1s puton, and the heated metal on being poured in, of course melts the wax and takes its place. ‘This metuod was found to answer very well for certain work, but in other kinds It would not doatall. Mr. Vors thea read Benvenuto Bellini’s description, as gives to the Duke de Medici, of the manner in which he made his cast of the grand statue of Perseus. This was accomplished by the wax methot. It was generally supposed, Mr. Vors said, that the very finest bronze contain silver and gold, one or both, but this error arose from @ statement made’ by Cellinf, and which has ween misunderstoot.

In reality it usually consists of four logs placed crosswise (and not unfrequently the entire four can be carried by one man) and a stake driven in the ground, bearing the name of the claimant, date and dimensions of the sround claimed, aud the “claim” is general iy taken for the purpose of sale. Desirable localities will be sought after by owners of stage Hines. Cabins will be built for the «en- tertainment of man and beast,” and occa- sionally small parcels of pasture land will be fenced.
