which are to stand in pairs at the landing of each stairway.
Make [Fig. 378] of white paper and with ink draw the wings, face and hat like [Fig. 379]. Then cut out the strange animal, part bull, part bird, and part man. Bend at dotted line on top of wings ([Fig. 378]); bend outward all four of the extensions under the hoofs and stand the creature at the top of the first stairway. Paste the extensions out from the hoofs firmly to the platform. Carve or cut out seven more stone bulls and place two at the head of each stairway as in [Fig. 377]. Gum each stone bull securely in place. One more bull is needed which must stand up high on top of a stone shaft ([Fig. 380]). Height of shaft is three and one-fourth inches, not counting flaps or bull; width of same pattern at top fully two and one-half inches, width at bottom three and one-fourth inches. Height of bull from top of wings to bottom of feet one and one-fourth inch. Mark and fold it along dotted lines like [Fig. 381], sliding the two flaps P P ([Fig. 380]) through the slits Q Q; crease the flaps backward to form paper hooks that hold fast. Turn out the extensions R R, which must be pasted down flat near the right hand on the back part of the top of the third story. The shaft will extend up high above the fourth story, as in [Fig. 377].

Make Two Statues
a little larger than diagram and glue one at the right-hand corner of the front of the first platform, and the other on the right-hand corner of the back of the first platform as in [Fig. 377]. Use two pieces of white stiff writing paper for the two statues ([Fig. 382]). Cut all the heavy lines and bend back all the dotted lines except the extensions V V; bend these forward. Slip the flap S through the slit T; bend down and fit in the top U; then glue the statues in place. Color all of the white extensions of stairs, bulls, and statues with green paint or with green tissue paper pasted over them.
