MAKING FALSE EYES,
MANUFACTURE OF ARTIFICIAL OPTICS A DELICATE OPERATION.
Hundreds Turned Out Weekly—Price Va- ries From $5 to SoC and Occasionally $50—Ready Made Eyes Are Cheap, but These Made to Order Come High,
There are many curious industries in this big city, and one that ranks pre- eminent in the peculiar line is a glass eye factory. It may seem strange that there should be a sufficient demand for glass eyes to support such a factory, es- pecially as it employs a number of skilled workmen all the year round. But when one learns some of the secrets of the trade all cause fer wonder van- ishes,
The prime reason for its existence is that a glass eye does not last more than a year, and very often not more than six months. Of course this necessitates the purchase of new optics every little while by afflicted people, and the num- ber of people who use these eyes is sur- prisingly large, judged by the yearly production of the factory.
Five hundred eyes are turned out weekly, or about 26,000 in the yeer. Not all of these are sold, but this per- centage is very small. The unsold ones are stock eyes—that is, they are used in the sale department of the factory or are sent to dealers throughout the coun- try as samples.
The prices of glass eyes vary consid- erably. An ordinary ready made eye costs $5, while a made to order cye, with the pupil and cernea carefully col- ored, costs anywhere from $10 to $30, and occasionally as much as $50, but this latter price is a rare one. Poor peo- ple can only afford the ready made eye, and a large number of these are always kept in stock in different shades of blue, gray and brown.
Gray eyes are the most common, then comes blue, and then brown. Black eyes are a myth, and the factory has never had a call to make one. Oph- thalmic hospitals are the largest con- sumers of the false eye. These buy in quantities, and naturally get the prod- uct at reduced rates. They buy the or- dinary, ready made eyes, as they are used, for the most part, on poor people who are financially unable to be fastid- ious in the matter of exact color.
The most startling feature of the fac- tory is the cabinet in which the stock eyes are kept. They are placed in large trays, sectioned off into tin squares, each square containing aneye. Blue eyes of many shapes and shades are in one tray, brown eyes of all kinds in an- other and gray eyes of many varieties in a third.
When a purchaser comes in, he or she is fitted with an eye from one of these trays, and if the buyer is content with the ready made article a duplicate is furnished from the stock. If the made to order article is wanted, the sample is sent up to the workrooms with instructions covering the minor changes or improvements that can be made.
All of the regular customers have sample eyes in the factory. This en- ables them to send from a distance for a duplicate, and a new eye, perfectly fitting and of the correct color, is ship- ped to them.
The reason that the eye wears out is that the action of the tear—which is acid—affects the enamel, roughing the edges and surface and causing an irri- tation of the eyelids.
There has never been a time in the history of the world that artificial eyes did not exist. The ancient Egyptians, 4,000 and 5,000 years ago, wore false eyes of gold and silver, and later of cop- per and ivory. It is on record that two patriotic Lufetians, when their countfy was in financial distress, generously presented their golden eyes to the pub- lic treasury. During the middle ages porcelain superseded metal in the mak- ing of artificial eyes, and a century ago the glass eye arrived. Now enamel is considered to be the best material for the work, and it is used to the exclu- sion of all others.
The process of making the eyes is easily described, but the work calls for much delicate and painstaking labor on the part of seven or eight skilled work- men. Formerly one man made an arti- ficial eye from the crude to the finished state, but now the work is divided into a number of specialties, each man per- forming only a fraction of the whole task.
In its initial stage the eye is a long, slender stick of enamel, made of per- fectly transparent and fusible flint glass. This is placed in a crucible and exposed to great heat. The globe maker places the enamel. over a blowpipe supplied with wind, which is pumped by engine power into a large cylinder and stored under water pressure. Under the care- ful manipulation of the workman the enamel tube is formed into an oblong globe, just the size and shape of the human eye.
Next it passes into the coloring room. A piece of colored enamel is placed on the summit of the globe, and this is gently heated in a small flame and con- tinuous!y rotated. Gradually this takes the form of the iris, and then a spot of darker enamel is added to represent the pupil. Then this is covered by a thick layer of crystal to form the cornea.
At this stage the eye is detached from the blowpipe and cooled, and then sent to the cutting room, from which it emerges shaped into a small hollow oval with irregular edges, The cutting
A ede ull PaLLUSd, wo & MUIL DS Leia Gevintion in size will make a materi ditference in the fitting. The edges m fired and the eye allowed to cool slow ly, this being the annealing or temper ing process, which toughens the enam el and renders it less liable to break. The final werk is the polishing, and then it is ready for the owner.
The coloring werk is tke most deli- rate of all, as sometimes eight and nine colers are worked in to give the correct shade.—New York Cer. Washington Posi.

‘‘Micawbering’’ is the latest for office secking. It isn’t so bad.—Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune.
It is rather appropriate, after all, that the headsman of tais administration should come from bleeding Kansas.— Washington Jimes.,
There are some congressmen who do not seem so large when they reach Washingtor as they do before they leave home.—Balti- more American.
‘There never was and there never will be enough offices to go around until every citizen has an option on a public place.— Indianapolis Journal.
Nobody can accuse President McKinley of standing in with the Washington board- ing house keepers. He advises the pie seek ers to go straight home.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The real trouble with the United States constitution, as many gentlemen now in Washington will explain, is that it does not provide for a sufiicient number of of- ces to go around.—Chicago Record.
APPEARANCES.
It is not the clothes that make the man; but, oh, how they help!
No man is well dressed when he is over- dressed or underdressed.
Because a man is a genius does not ex- cuse a filthy personality.
Striking, loud costuines should never be ellowed behind the counter, and only the fool cf a business man will wear them.
Few of us are geniuses, and most of us stand on the auction block of business to be sold as we appear to be as well as we are,
The man is well.dressed when 90 per cent of those who see him, if asked the question when they turned their back on him, cannot tell how he is dressed, but can say that he was well dressed.—Hard- ware.

HOW TALC 1S QUARRIED.
Where It Comes Prem and the Manner of Sending it to Market.
At Luzenac, in the upper valley of the Ariege, talc is quarried on an ex- tensive scale in the granite of St. Par- thelcemy, a mountain 7,700 feet high and zbout 20 miles from the main chain of the Pyrenees. The quarries, which are situated about two miles from the summit and 5,900 fect above the sea, are opened in a bedded deposit, included between micaschist below and lower silurian slatcs above, which has been followed for about 2,000 yards in a north and south direction, with a dip of about 60 degrees to the east, the thick- ness varying from 160 to 1,000 feet, as does also the composition. Masses of limestone and granite, the latter cften of co. siderable size, ure frequently found inc]luced in the silicate of magnesia, which also contains some alumina.
The best reck is of a brilliant white color and feels greasy tothe touch when ground to fine powder. The principal quarry, at Tremouin, is worked in the open, across the direction of the bed, forming two or three terraces 50 fect high, the surface covering, 6 to 10 feet thick, having been first stripped. The stuff broken is carried by a level, in the bottom of the quarry, driven in the fcot wall of the vein to the valley of Axiat, whence it is hauled in bullock wagons about 12 miles to the works of Luzenac, where a water power of 90 horsepower is obtained from the Ariege. The me- chanical preparation includes sizing by sieves, driving in a rotating cylinder furnace, breuzking, grinding and sifting.
Nearly the whole of the preduct is converted into powder, only a small part being riade into pencils for mark- ing out werk cn metal cr sold in the lump form.—Colliery Guardian.
Reversing Nature.
The reversibility of the physical proc- esses of nature has latterly been the subject of interesting comment. Lord Kelvin, for example, has been credited with saying that all of them, no matter how complex they might appear to the human senses, consist in reality of the motions of invisible molecules, and if, therefore, by some means, all these molecules could, at the same time, be made to move in exactly the opposite di- rection, and each with the same velocity that it possessed at the moment, all the world would begin and centinue to move backward; waterfalls would flow up the sides of cliffs, rivers would run upward from the sea, rain would rise, full blown flowers would shrink into buds and plants dwindle into seedlings, man him- self would become young again, passing from old agetoinfancy. Just what kind ef pictures such a topsy-turvy world would present may be seen with a kinet- escope running backward. Professor Queroult, according to report, has made observations in this line, and some time ago communicated them to the French Academy of Science.—Cassicr’s Maga- zine.
What They Said Wouldn't Read Well.

‘*What is he going to call it?’’
