A NEW GLASS BLOWING PROCESS
Machines Adopted in Muncie, Ind,
Which Do the Work of Many-Men

Muncie, Ind.-The art of making glass
is to be revolutionized. For centuries
glass has been made into various articles
by means of the blowpipe, the force be-
ing air from mans lungs. IL has been
thought that some skill was required
to mold the molten matter into rounded
ware, but now comes forward machine
like the self-binder of a quarter of a
century ago, to do all the work, requir-
ing the services of only one or two to
superintend the machinery, and throw
ing many men out of employment. That
the machine will revolutionize the art
is most keenly felt by the workmen, to
whom only it will work harm.
Ball brothers, fruit jar manufacturers
Of this city, and the most extensive MAX
ers of their kind in the world, are the
first to use the machine, and a recent
order issued by them signifies what the
result will be to the blower when all the

manufacturers in all the lines get Il
using the machines. They have notified
between sixty and seventy blowers tha
owing to the fact that the company /.
fitting one of its departments with blow
ing machines the company will not need
their services any longer.
One blower has on an average three
co-workers,a and so this order, or rather
the putting in of machines in the one
department, means that about 250 mer
who had steady employment last season
will have to look to other places for posi-
lions next fire.
This is only the beginning. 1t might
be compared to the spark that famed
the revolution and then the great revolu-
ton itself. Judging from the results OF
the order by the Muncie firm, it is esti-
mated that third of those now en-
ployed in the glass trade would be thrown
idle should all the manufacturers in all
the lines put in machines.
One machine does away with the serv-
ices of three out of ten men the way
things are running now. But Mr.. Frank
Ball, president of the company, does not
believe that the machines Will lessen the
number of skilled men employed, but will
affect only the common laborer. He also
states that the machines, which he says
can make finer ware than handblowers.
will create a greater demand for the
ware and consequently will be a boon to
the skilled workmen rather than detri-
ment.
Mr.. Ball says that the machines will
cause revolution like that resulting
from the sewing machine, spinning jen-
ny, self-binding harvester and other in
ventions that failed to njure the work
men, but benefited skilled labor. The
workingmen think otherwise, however,
yet Dennis A. Hayes president of the
International Green Glass Workers as
socation, says his men will use the ma
chimes without any trouble.
The machines have not yet been pat
ented only for fruit jars and articles Of
that description. The inventors have
not yet turned their attention to plate
and window glass and other kinds of
ware, which it is recognized will be more
difficult for machines to make.

CLEVER ADVERTISERS IN PARIS
Even Quick-Witted Americans Might
Be Given Valuable Pointers

hardly more than babies were seen every
day, riding in all Irish jaunting car

was ten years ago. All these methods
are common enough in the states and
much more frequently used than such of
the public as is not familiar with the
business section of the city knows.
Now hear how it is don.e in France:

ION the boulevard I came across a we'd
ding party, which, to my establishment,
drove up in a splendidly appointed equip
page and alighted in front of fashion
able restaurant. The men were in even
ing dress The bride had on her orarge
blossoms ard veil; pretty bride she
was too. Everything about the party
was au fait. They took their seats on
the terasse and, of course, a crowd at
once began to gather near them, for
while bridal parties are not an uncom-
mon sight in Parie, still as a rule, the
blushir,g bride hides herself discreetly
in some far-off, obscure restaurant, ath-
er than f1aunt herself in the face and eyes
of the boulevards Slipping their alb

and the gaping people about them crank
in every word. They talked in uncon
scious audibleness, ard every word they
said was simply a glorification of the
Mortmartre cafe. That done they pas
sed on to the next stand"
Yet even that has not even discounted
the manner in which Yvette Guilbert was
advertised last year. AT that time, Cur

patent feathers, ard had field glasses
swung over their shoulders. They look

at them-and envied them-until the
leader shouted out "Yvette Guilbert,"
and the rest of the crowd responded
"Tonight-9 oclock-at La Scala" The
snap being given away, the crowd
marched on, laughing and jesting to at
tract another hearing, and like French
men they played the part well. 1t seems

Story Of a Famous Painting

We have heard of the adventures of
a guinea. The story of a painting
brought to Rome by Queen Christina
of Sweden is not less interesting The
subject is Leda and her attendant
nymphs attacked in a bath by swans.
1t was painted 367 years ago for the
duke of Mantua, and given by him to
the Emperor Charles ", Philippa II.
took it from Italy to Spain. II was
bought there by the sculptor Leont
Leoni, who sold 1t to a picture dealer
for the collection of the Emperor Ru-
dolph II. The Swedes took it, with other
spoils of the seven years war, to Stock
holm, where Christina took fancy to
it, and, with other treasures, trans
ported it to Rome. She left it to Cardi-
nal AzZolino, who died few months
after it was handed over to him. 1t
passed on to his nephew, and was sold
by him to Prince Livio Odescalchi, who
left it to the due d'Orleans, regent of
France His son Louis, due d'Orleans,
a pious prince, thought the head of
Leda too pagan, and had it cut out.
Coypel bought the painting and painted
in the head from memory. He sold it to
Pasquin, collector, who sold it at a
large profit to Frederick the Great.
Marshal Davoust took it from a Prus-
sian palace and brought it back to Paris.
1t was there restored and given back to
the king of Prussia in 1915. The head
fell off the canvas on the way, and a
new head was inserted by Schlesinger.
