Show A Curious Image. In the Japanese capital there is a gigantic gi-gantic image of a woman made of wood and plaster and dedicated to Hachiman. the god of war. In height it measures 54 feet; the head alone, which is reached by a winding stairway in the interior of the figure, being large enough to comfortably com-fortably hold 20 persons. The figure holds a huge wooden sword in one hand, the blade of the weapon being 27 feet long, and a ball 12 feet in diameter in the other hand. Internally the model is fitted fit-ted up with an extraordinary anatomical arrangement which is supposed to represent repre-sent the different portions of the brain. A fine view of the country is obtained by looking through one of the eyes of the figure. The admission to all parts of the structure costs about a penny. Exchange. |
