THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. MODELING A STATUE The Bronze Effigy of Gen. Hancock to Be Erected Here. A VISIT 10 THE ARTIST'S STUDIO Sketches of the Effigy as It is and Will Be. HOW THE ARTIST WORKS A REPRESENTATIVE of ‘the Star this week visited the studio of Mr. H. J. Ellicott, and observed the progress of the work on the statue of Gen. Hancock, which, when com- pleted, will be erected in this city. The studio, situated in rear of Mr. Eliicott’s residence, lis2S street northwest, is a handsome brick building, forty-one feet long by thirty-five feet broad, and forty feet to the apex of the roof. The skylizht, twenty-six by eighteen feet, is placed at an angle of forty-five degrees, which gives the artist a perfect light for this class of work. The floor is concreted, and large double doors, twenty feet high, with an opening ten feet wide, permit easily the egress of the largest equestrian statue ever made. The turntable on which the statue is constructed is eight feet square at the lower base, and is supported by four large ball-bearing rollers, which were made to order in Chicago. ‘The upper turntable revolves on a heavy center bar, five inches in diameter, which has an inverted steel point and socket, the continuation of the center bar, which bears the weight of the entire structure of horse and rider. ‘his center is composed of @ large wrought iron steam pipe, in the center of which is sunk a heavy, solid square three-inch bar imbedded in plaster. This ts done to prevent the swaying or oscillation of the heavy structure which it supports. Besides the center pin there is a circular iron track, upon which eight roil- ers revolve. The sculptor is thus enabled to turn the statue In any directon without the least jar or vibration. ‘The whole turntable is a most ingenious invention, and can, with the structure on it, not only be moved to any part of the studio, but also through the large doors to the alley, where the art- ist can view his work in the open air at a distance of several blocks, if he so desires. The opportunity of being able to view the statue In the open is found by sculptors in this country and also in Europe to be of great advantage and to secure the best results. ‘he visitor to the studio cannot but be interested also in insp: a num- ber of portrait busts and equ n models of celebrated men which it contains, among which are a statue of Was & model bust of George M. original of which is in the S ber in marble, and also a handsome and realistic representation of Gen. Sheridan ington, The Hancock Statue. 6n his black charger en route to Win- chester. At this time, however, the most Interesting of all is the sketch model of Gen. Winfield Seott Hancock, which won for Mr. Ellicott the much-coveted commi sion from the United States government. Although still in the rough, but nearing completion, one can observe and appreciate the excellent Ii of the gallant ger eral. The artist is particularly happy jn the manner in which he represents the general sitting on his hor The pose is one of digni se and military pre- cision.

In the southeast, at about one-fourth of the dis- tance from the hori- zon to the zenith, is the still more bril- liant Sirius. A circle described through these stars, the line joining them being a diameter, will inclose a region unequaled for splendor by any other of equal extent in the whole heavens. Within this limited area are the constel- lations Orion, rus, Auriga and Gemini, all brilliantly adorned with bright stars. Orion contains two of the first magnitude— Betelgeuse, in the right shoulder, and Rigel, in the lett foot—and four of the sec- ond magnitude. These are the “Three Kings,” which form the belt of the hunts- man and Bellatrix, in his left shoulder. Saiph, at the opposite corner of the con- tellation (in the right knee), is of the third inagnitude. A straight line run from Sirius to the Three Kings and prolonged to an equal distance beyond them will strike Alde- baran, in the head of Taurus, the Bull. Prolonged still farther, at a distance about two-thirds as great, it will strike the Pleiades, in the Bull’s shoulder. To the left of Sirius, forming with it and Betelgeuse a large equilateral triangle, is Procyon, the Little Dog. Midway from Capella to the eastern horizon are the Twins, Castor and Pollux. The former— the upper of the two—is of the second mag- itude. Pollux is somewhat brighter, and usually reg-rded as a first-magnitude r. Between Capella and the head of Orion may be seen a second pair, rather ler apart and less brilliant than the T These are the tips of the horns of the Bult.

The nfth moon, discovered by Professor Barn- ard two years ago, is beyond the reach of any except the largest telescopes. A good ‘spy-glass,” which magnifies twenty or thirty times, will show the disc of the planet and its great equatorial belt. The view of Jupiter given here is from etch made a few evenings since, and ows the planet’s appearance seen through six-inch telescope and magnified about ”) mes. The prevailing hue of the dark selts is a Nght salmon color. Their darker streaks are of a reddish brown. Some of the fainter lines have a greenish tint. Sev: eral brownish spots may be seen. These features of the planet are in a state of con- change. ‘The belts vary considerably from year to year, in position, hue and breadth, while spots, dark or bright, are ontinually breaking out, to last but a few ks, or at most a few months. It is now held by astronomers generally if not universally, that these markings up. on Jupiter are all in its atmosphere, and hat we never see the planet's true surface. enormous scale upon which the hanges take place and the evident vio- lence cf the forces which produce them, nd which seem to operate from below her than from the outside, render it bable that the globe of the planet is ill at a high temperature. Possibly it is ill in a molten condition, Upon this view the brighter portions of its visible dise are ply aqueous clouds, illuminated by in, holding in a vaporous form the of the planet's future oceans. The darker streaks and spots are regions where the vapor-charged atmosphere is partially transparent, and their various hues, whic render Jupiter, seen through a large tele- scope, an exceedingly beautiful object, may a be caused by the absorption of a portion of the light emitted by a still glowing surface beneath. Mars, in the constellation Aries, is now at 9 o’clock about,as far to the west as Jupiter is to the east of the meridian. Its ruddy light still surpasses that of a star of the first magnitude, although it is barely one-fifth as bright.as when we passed it two and a half months ago. The planet now presents the, gibbous phase of the moon about two days hefore the full. In Regard to Mar: Recent observations upon Mars have led to a very important change of view regard- ing the nature of its surface markings—a change the more interesting because it con- cerns the question of the planet’s habitabil- ity. In 1892 Prof.W. H. Pickering obtained, at Arequipa, in Peru, the most satisfactory view of Mars which probably kas ever fall- en to the lot of any astronomer, and he be- came convinced that the so-called “‘seas’’ and ‘‘oceans” of Mars have been misnamed and that there is really very little water on the planet. Two rather siaall spots, which were cf a deep blue color, he thought to be bedies of water; the other dark areas, the greenish or grayish colors of which give to Mars somewhat the appearance of the moon, seen with the naked eye, did not seem to him to owe their color to the same cause, at least not directly. Pickering be- gan his observations at about the time of the vernal equinox of the planet’s southern hemisphere. He observed the south “polar cap” diminish rapidly in extent as the Martian season advanced, and simultane- ously great changes took place in these dark areas—changes of color and changes of form and extent. Large “seas’’ also appeared where none had before been visible. Similar changes, though less extensive, had been observed in previous years, and the commonly ac- cepted explanation of them had been that they were due to extensive inundations caused by the melting of the polar snows. But Prof. Pickering was led to doubt the correctness of this explanation. The rapid- ity with which the snow melted—two-thirds of the “cap” having disappeared in a month’s time—seemed to him, in view of the akened power of the sun’s rays at the distance of Mars, good evidence that there was very little snow to be melted. Its depth might have been no more than an inch, and almost certainly its quantity was not great enough to cause freshets which would be visible to us as such, although the liberated water might reveal itself indi- rectly by stimulating the growth of vege- tation. Dispute About the Canals. ‘These changes in the Martian geography (or areography) are among the phenomena which have been closely watched during the past summer and autumn, and while there seems to be a reluctance to accept the extreme views of Prof. Pickering, it is generally conceded by those who have had the best opportunities for forming an opin- ion that a mistake has been made in as- suming that these dark areas upon Mars are bodies of water, and that their color is due, in some measure at least, to vegeta- tion. It is proper to say here, however, that M. Schiaparelli, who has heretofore been re- garded as the first authority in all matters relating to Mars, is not a convert to the new view. His observations during the season just closed have confirmed those of our American astronomers, so far as the changes themselves are concerned; but he still explains these changes on the inunda- tion theory. He still regards his “canals,” too, the very existence of which was for years a dispiuted point among astronomers, until the testimony to their reality became cverwhelming, as a part of the water sys- tem of the planet. They become more « tinct as the snows melt, and he conceives them to perform an important part in the annual transfer of water from ‘one to the other pole of the planet. As matters rest, there a question of the correct interpretation to be put upon observed facts. If the new view shall finally be accepted, the import- ance of the covery can hardly be over- here will no longer be a necessity sing that Mars has a red vegete tion, as has been done, to account for its ruddy bue. Its orange-colored areas, here; tofore mapped as continents and islands, are more likely to be des Its darker portions are probat ‘ems to be simply y lowlands h color and the changes ‘seen | in them indicate that vege: lars is green, upon the earth, like the earth it comes and son With an earth-like vegetation as a ariing point, the way is for the reasonable supposition that animal life upon this planet is also essen- tially the same as upon the earth. As to Encke’s Comet. Encke’s comet, the first discovered of the short-pericd comets, and for other reasons also an especially interesting member of its fraternity, was “sighted” at Nice on the lst of October, rear the southwestern cor- ner of the Square of Pegasus. It is rapidly approaching, and is now in a position to be readily “picked up” with a fleld glass. It may be located thus: A diagonal run from the northeastern to the southwestern corner of the “Square” and continued be- yond, to a distance rather greater than the distance of the two corner stars apart, strikes the star Alpha Aquarii, one of the two second magnitude stars in’ the should- ers of the Waterman. The comet is now nearly on this line, about three degrees— the length of the belt of Orion—from Alpha Aquarii. The pericd of this comet is three and one-third years. The comet is usually a rather insignificant, telescopic affair, but it occasionally throws out a tail and be- comes visible to the naked eye. It will make its perihelion passage on the 4th of February, at which time it will be very nearly between us and the sun. The con- stellation Pegasus will now be found in the early evening at a high altitude toward the S hwest. to take plac and goes with the se ic Written for The Evening A Trio of Triolets. A SECRET.

Interesting Sale of Souvenirs of the Martyred President. From the Philadelphia Record. The Lincoln memorial collection which was on exhibition at the world’s fair, and consisted of law books and furniture from Lincoin’s law office and furniture from his old home at Springfield, Ill., was sold at auction. The few buyers present did some lively bidding, and the sale realized $2,566.25. Among the buyers the most prominent were Judge Pennypacker, Maj. William H. Lambert and Louis C. Vanuxem, the latter two being active competitors and securing between them practically all the articles of real value. The highest price paid for a single article, with but one ex- ception, was $140 for the old hickory chair in which Mr, Lincoln was seated when he received the telegram announcing his nomi- nation for the presidency of the United States by the Chicago convention. This chair is made of hickory withes, with a hoop-pole seat, and was for years used as a repository for exchanges in the office of the Springfield Journal. It was bought by Mr. Vanuxem. Good Price for a Table. A large walnut table used by Mr. Lin- coln in his law office, and a double-door walnut book case resting upon it, two pieces, brought $160, and a large,round wooden inkstand, which Mr. Lincoln used when he wrote his famous speech, “The House Divided Against Itself,” sold for $90, Major Lambert buying the three pieces. The antique mahogany sofa, made to Mr. Lincoln’s order in Springfield by Daniel E. Ruckel, in 1837, and which, on account of his stature, was made unusually long, sold for $160, the highest price realized for any one piece in the collection. Six antique chairs brought $108; an antique mahogany side table, with white marble top, $3: , and a plate-glass mirror, $30. These were all of Mr. Lincoln’s parlor furniture at the time he left Springfield to take the presidential chair, and the entire lot was bough by Mr, Vanuxem. Mr. Lincoln’s law Mbrary, consisting of twenty-two volumes, was disposed of for $448, and all but one volume was sold to Mr. Vanuxem. The single exception was Mr. Lincoln's first law book, containing the Declaration of Independence, Constitution of the United States, the first con- stitution of Indiana and various acts pass- ed by its state legislature during the ses- sion of 1823-24. It was sold for $120, not- withstanding the fact that it was minus a portion of the back and the title pages. The purchaser was William H. Winters, the librarian of the New York Law Insti- tute. Among some of the other prices paid were $57 for Chitty’s “Treatise on Pleading and Parties,” three volumes; $56 for Kent’s “Commentaries,” four volumes; $65 for Story’s “Commentaries on Equity Juris- prudence,” two volumes; $15 for Whar- ton’s “Treatise on Criminal Law,” and $19 for Redfield’s “Treatise Upon the Law of Railways.” Autograph Documents Sell Well. Among the autograph documents a high- priced group was one of three pieces which sold for $210, and was secured by Mr. Van- uxem. These documents were closely inter- woven, and form an interesting anecdote in the life of Lincoln. The first was an autograph letter written by Lincoln Octo- ber 3, 1853, to M. Brayman, president of the Illinois Central railroad, offering his serv- ices as attorney for the company in a suit brought against it by the county of Mc- Lean. The second was Lincoln’s autograph copy of his bill for legal services rendered the Illinois Central Railroad Company in i suit, which was won in December, 1: The bill was for $5,000, to which Lincoln has appended the names of six members of the Illinois bar, who certify to the amount not being unreasonable—Grant Goodrich, N. B. Judd, Archibald Williams, N. H. cae O. H. Browning and R. S. Black- well. The third was the check for $250 given him as a retainer. If successful Mr. Lin- coln was to be paid a fee of $1,000. After carrying the suit throtgh the Supreme Court and gaining it he presented a bill for the unpaid part of his fee. It hap- pened that President Brayman was ab- sent, and Mr. Lincoln was referred with his bill to the superintendent of the com- pany, who refused to pay it, remarking at the same time: “That is as much as a first-class lawfer woultl charge.’ The gen- tleman who spoke thus disparagingly of the service of a future President of the United States was General George B. Mc- Clellan, who at that time was superintend- ent of the Illinois Central railroad. The original fee book of the law firm of lincoln & Herndon for the year 1847 sold for $60, and the marriage certificate of Lincoln was knocked down at $40. —— Utilizing Science.

Life presents his compliments, his hora- ege and the assvrance of his high esteem to several gentlewomen whom he has ob- served of late. And he is most happy to note that their number seems to be in- creasing rapidly. Need he state that he refers to those considerate and kindly la- dies who voluntarily remove their hats during the progress of a theatrical per- formance? In former seasons the woman who came to a New York theater unbonneted, or who removed her headgear after arrival, was a rare exception. This year there seems to have been a sort of spontaneous movement which has led a number of the reputedly gentler sex to show this courtesy to their fellow spectators. They are yet in the minority, but it is a more than ordinary sight to see a woman, at the rise of the curtain, uncstentatiously remove her hat or bonnet, as the case may be, and place it in her lap. Of course, there still remain complacent and presumably underbred per- sons who seem to rejoice in wearing to the theater the most barbarous concoctions that a cheap milliner can produce. But in New York, at least, their number seems to be diminishing, and whatever conspicu- ousness they thus secure is likely to be more painful than flattering. It has always been Life’s belief that the better class of women have never wished to offend in this direction. Now that a ra- tional means of escape from its sometimes disagreeable consequences offers, he is glad to notice that it is the prettiest, sweetest, most distinguished and alto- gether charming women in the theaters who avail themselves of it. Here's long life to them---bless them!--- and may they never be without a stalwart and manly escort to take them to every performance they want to see. ——_—_+ + The Cook’s Mixunderstanding.
