Artificial Animal Eyes.

Artificial eyes in imitation OF the
eyes of birds and animals are made in
great variety. They are used in
mounting birds for millinery trim
ming; animals eyes are used for the
heads in fur rugs, and both bird and
animal eyes are used for many other
purposes; for example, for eyes in cane
and umbrella heads made in imitation
OF animals, for many kinds Of toys, and
so on. Artificial eyes are also made
for some living animals; it is not I'M
common for horses TO have glass eyes,
and dogs are sometimes provided with
them: in at least one case a calf has
been supplied with one, but most arti-
fetal eyes are for use in mounting nat
ural specimens, and in the manufac-
turing uses above referred to. The
eyes are made, Of course, in imitation
OF nature, and many OF them are beau
tiful. The stock that the manufacturer
or dealer keeps always on hand is Won
derful in its variety. There is no eye
that could not be supplied. Here are
humming birds eyes, and alligators'
eyes, tigers eyes, and swans eyes, and
eyes for owls, and for eagles, and for
birds OF all kinds and sizes; eyes for
mounted fishes. eyes for the bear, the
lion, the panther, the fox, the squirrel,
the dog, and the wolf, and for other
animals to be mounted, and eyes for
imitation pigs, and dogs, and sheep,
and cats, and so on. Artificial eyes for
birds and animals are sold chiefly to
taxidermists, to furriers, and to the
various manufacturers. They are sold
in pairs; the number sold in the ag-
gregate is very large. The busiest sea-
son is the fall and winter.-New York
