A Maker Of Glass Eyee.

Visitors to the Worlds fair will re-.
member the quaint little workman who
sat in one corner Of great building
and made eyes from morning until
night, part Of them for dolls, part of
them for human beings and occasional
~ one for horse or some other pet ami.
NAL. The workman, whose name was
Muller, had come over from Germany
to show how his people worked, and
when the fair was over he set up lit.
tie shop in Chicago and tried for awhile
to make his industry flourish on Amer.
lean soil. But after a time he found
that the wholesale dealers persisted in
sending across the water for their SUD-
plies, and he grew so homesick that he
finally returned to the fatherland, and
he is now doubtless working in some
one Of the quaint little Thuringian vii.
lagos.
1t will be remembered that he was
marvelously deft in his work. First he
blew q bulb from molten glass. Then.
when it was cold, he carefully broke OF
one side so as to leave shell, the edges
OF which were blunted by melting. He
secured the proper size of eye by having
the person for whom It was made stand
before him as he worked. Having the
shell complete, he bent down over
Bunsen burner, and just touching its
upper surface to the fame he worked
the eye design on the glass with little
sticks of varicolored glass. the points Of
which were melted in the flame.
The work required q wonderfully
steady hand and true eye in order to
make the iris and the retina of the
proper color and shape. The workman
Is SO skilled that he can copy direct
from the person who stands before him
