There is much that may be seen by q
visit to a doll factory that would have
for many people al the force Of rev
citation. Few probably realize what
number Of processes arc necessary be
fore even tho tinicst Of dolls is ready
for the nursery. There is certainly
beWiidering number Of suitable sub
stances. Besides the various kinds of
wax, from the best English TO the
commOner foreign sorts, there are
spermaeeti and various kinds Of com
position: lndia-rubber, gutta-percha,
wood. and rags, not to mention va
riOus judicious combinations of these
and other materials. But the best dolls
arc made only OF the best English wax.
Then come the composition dolls,
which are much more durable, and
some of which have their faces pro-
tected by d thin piece OF muslin. and
so on through the whole list Il is,
however, the waXen dolls that appeal
most powerfully to the affections and
the admiration of the girls of England.
The construction OF the molds ia
which these are made involves some
knowledge of modelling The molds
are made ofplaster Of Paris, the var
ious sections being deity Joined to-
gcthcr with such nicely as to leave but
few marks Of the joints Into this the

distinctive character has to be given to
the mouth and nose, the eyebrows hav

may well cease to wonder that Shaks-
peare's lover should have written an
ode Ito his mistress eyebrow, when
we see the wonderful effect produced
on a dolls face by various arrange
ments of brow and lash.
Then the eyes, which are like beauti-
ful shells, although they can be bought
by the gross, of any color and size,
have to be fixed in, which is done by
plastering them at the back with a
little soft wax. The method Of fasten-
ing the hair so rs to give it a natural
appearance is one Of the best tests Of
the care with which O doll has been
made. In the best dolls almost every
strand IS attached separately 20 the
wax itself, while in the cheaper kinds

HIGHLY EXCITING SPORT.

correspondent, desirous of seeing how it
was all done, climbed down from his

The correspondent clutched the cast
ing with his fingers between the four
wings, and did rs he was told to. Then
he looked round to get the bearings for
his feet. He cast his eyes up toward
the highway as if to take last look at
the General, the Senator, the Secretary,
and the Assemblyman, only to be shout
ed to by them in chorus: 'Why don't

and made for the highway with the GO
devil ringing in his ears as it sped down
through the iron casting on its errand
of destruction. The man who remained
last at the hole walked deliberately off
in another direction.
The correspondent had time to re-
cover his sightseeing position when the
sharp crack of a gun-cap 400 feet down
in the earth was heard There were
ten seconds of silent suspense, and then
grand spectacle was seen. First q
roar was heard, and this was followed
ut once by the bclching. forth of column
of greenish liquid, which rose to the top
of the derrick, broke into spray, and
filled the air. Next followed column
of black smoke and liquid roaring out
of the hole like the escape of steam from
a locomotives safety-yalve. A fire of
stones followed this cracking among
the timbers of the derrick and falling all
about. The wind carried the liquid
away from the spectators, and the
stones thrown straight from the mouth
of the well fell back harming no one.
The belching lasted perhaps half min
ute, and then all was quiet. The eight
quarts of nitro-glycerine had done its
work. 1t had lifted first a column of
crude oil 1,400 feet deep from the bot
tom of the well, had broken the black
sand rock in which petroleum is found.
and had thrown the fragments up from
a depth of 400 feet The grass and
ground for an acre round were covered
with dirty, greenish slime, in which
the spectators had to tread in order to
inspect the results. Out of the wells

a rate that would make stockholder
