Produotion Of Colors I'm Glass.

Visitors to the worlds fair viii re-
call the wonderful beauty of much of
the German colored glassware, which
far excelled some of the most noted
French specimens. The production of
this beautiful coloring is a rare art
which has come down to the German
glsssblower of to-day through many
generations. The apparatus used is a
sheetiron cylinder 20 inches long and 8
inches in diameter, standing vertically,
and having similar cylinder riveted
across the top, thus forming T-shsped
muffie. While the glassblower is re-
heating his work for the last time an
attendant slips into the mufie a long
iron ladle, which has been made red
hot, and into which has been shaken
specially prepared chemical mixture.
The mixture Immediately gives of
vapor in the horizontal cylinder, where
the work of the blower, heated to an
even red by the blow-pipe, is being
rapidly revolved. In short time the
object Is covered with changeable
luster, and is removed from the pipe.

Many savage animal has, however,

the lion that unexpectedly confronted
a traveller in the African forest, hold

not unnaturally perturbed by the meet

attention in such a way that the man
could not but discover that the king of
beasts was suffering acute pain from a
large thorn which was partially buried

wound, and afterwards he expressed
plainly his desire 10 live with the man

ST LoUIs. Jan. ii.-George VI. Fian-
agan's hominy mills. located on the
east side Of Main street. between
Franklin avenue and Wash street, were
totally destroyed by FIRE Tuesday night.
Three alarms were turned in before
the big blaze was got under control,
and for a time II looked as though
the loss to neighboring property
would count far up into the hundreds
of thousands of dollars By rapid and
effective work on the part of the ire
department. however. the FIRE was con-
fined almost to the place where il
started. and the total damage will
probably not exceed eco. 0oo.
Flanagan will probably lose in tho
neighborhood of $4,000 or sIso. 900 on
stock building and machinery.
II was CLEANED from business men
in the vicinity that his insurance will
not cover much more than half the
loss. His entire establishment had Just
been rebuilt Less than . year and a
half ago Flanagan was burned out on
the same site.
