Jossm.king is very simple. The man

Of wooden or metal molds. In these
the wet clay is put into shape and allowed
to dry. 1t is then touched up, dipped n
molten glaze and allowed to cool. The
average workman can turn out 100 a day.
The clay is kaolin, running from red and
gray to snow white, and costs about l
cent per pound. The glaze is melted in
a small charcoal furnace, similar to the
old fashioned soldering furnaces of re-
tired plumbers.
The wages of a good artist vary from
20 to 40 cents per day. The cost Of a
fair sized image is about 8 cents. he
sells it for about 5 cents to a native and
for as high as S. to the credulous Euro
pean or American tourist. The molding,
touching and retouching are the same in
all shops. The glazing varies indef-
nitely. 1t may be Opaque, Of any color;
transparent, but tinted with any shade
desired, or clear and colorless. The best
work is made by painting the clay with
heavy white paint and dipping in the
glaze last described. In another kind OF
good work the clay is colored in caustic
colors, kept in the heat until they have
set and then glazed as usual. The Chi.

4 Toronto Rocfer Doing Some Wonder
fnl Feafs OTer Niagara.

NIAGARA FAILS, July 2.-Clifford
Nj. Calverley, the high wire walker,
crossed the gorge of the Niagara on
wire stretched between the Cantil-
ever and the railway suspension
bridges. His daring dive, catching
by the knees and then the toes on
the wire, and his wheelbarrow act
caused the immense throng of peo-
pie who lined the banks of the river
to hold their breath. He wheeled
the barrow out and lighted a fire in
a stove which was on the barrow;
then he toasted some bread, took a
bite. and sent the remaining pieces
sailing down into the rushing water,
200 feet below. He carried chair
on his back, unstrapped it, placed it
on the wire, sat down, pulled out a
newspaper and a cigarette, lighted the
latter and calmly read the former
with his balance pole resting on his
knees.
His feats excelled those of the ia
nous Blondin.
Calverley is aToronto boy, and a
roofer by trade. He was accustomed
to amuse his companions by hang
ing by his toes on the cornice of the
highest buildings in Toronto. In
that way he acquired a taste for
high wire walking.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure Deaf

this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
famation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition.

nine cases out of ten are caused by

How Big are Your Baby's Eyes.

How big is IA young baby's eye?"
We have heard it stated within the
last day or two that "a young baby's
eye" is as big as a grown person $
eye; that the eye does not grow as
the body grows; that it is the same
size when the baby is born as it is
after the baby has grown to be man
or woman; that it is born full size,
and is then as big as it ever gets to
be. This statement has been sub
mitted to q number of experts on
babies, who generally agree that a
"young baby's eye grows as the
body grows, though not in the same
ratio. But is it true? Authorities
are sometimes in error. Expert wit
nesses frequently tangle themselves
up in all kinds of contradictory
statements Of facts; expert physi-
clans do not reach the same conclu-
sions from identically same basis of
reasoning; expert cotton buyers often
buy when the slump in the markets
proves that they should have sold.
1t may be that the baby experts
whom we have questioned upon the
subject of baby eyes have spoken
without due consideration. We
should like to have the puzzle set.
tied. Do babies eyes grow? How
big is young baby's eye?

Important Dicision.

Judge Jacobs passed on a rather
novel case, last week, that of p w.
Morris versus the keystone Oil and
Gas Company. The point raised by
the plaintiffs bill is that pending
controversy about the rights of con
sumer and company. an INDUCTION to
restrain the turning off of gas will
lie. The defendant demurred to
plaintiffs bill and the demurrer viz
tually raises all the questions in the
case. Judge Jacobs overruled the
demurrer and virtually decides that
gas company can be restrained
from an obituary use of its powers.
The case is rather famous one as
it grew out of the noted controversy
between the people of Harrisville
and the gas company, in which
there were indignation meetings,
strikes, etc.-Ritchie Gazette.
