Panels of Bird Life. From this point, the tower takes an octagonal form, the eight buttresses which rear from the base drawing plightly in as they rise to the top and end in gigantic figures of cranes. Chief among the exterior carvings are the huge panels showing Florida bird Mlfe. These surround the base of the tower about the north door at a height of 30 feet. The panels form balconies between the marble buttresses and are carved entirely through the stone, giving the effect of a grille. Balconies on four sides at a height of 120 feet are designed of marble in conventional form. These balconies are reached through doors which are part of large faience grilles. At the height of 160 feet are the four balconies which surmount the corners of the coquina masonry. The large figure of an eagle with folded wings is placed at the exact corner, flanked on each side with a panel with doves as chief figures. Slightly above this point the marble buttresses taper inward. Adam and Eve Shown. TIn each of the eight spaces between the buttresses which outline the top of the tower is a huge faience grille, these depicting the creation and man's do- minion over nature. Adam and Eve are the dominant figures in a setting of frees. Surmounting the tower are eight tranes, each 15 feet high, which form the pinnacles with which the buttresses terminate. The 61 bells, varying in weight from 16 to 22,000 pounds each, cover a range of four octaves. The bells were cast Loughborough, England, by the lor bell foundry, the worlds larg- esé bell makers. ‘The tower commands a view of 30 miles in each direction. It is situated in the heart ofsthe bird sanctuary, which covers an entire small mountain. The whole has been given by Mr. Bok to the American people as a place of pest and peace for humankind as well as birds. LADY NORTHESK WEDS.
