HIS HIoH-PRloEp EYE.
How clever Bunko Game was Played
on SON OF sunny Italy.

How "A clever Bunko Game was PLAYED
on son OF sunny Italy.
A well-planned scheme was worked
on a downtown Italian confectioner the
other night whereby he lost $50. Gays
the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette
About p. m. a man who had one good
eye and one glass eye came wandering
along the street and stopped at this
Italians fruit stand. He stopped over
to look at some OF the fruit. when un-
expectedly his glass eye fell from its
socket down among the bananas and
oranges. The pretending purchaser at
once began a diligent search for the
missing glass eye. With both hands
he clawed into the fruit. scattering il
in all directions The Italian came
forward and told the stranger to stop.
The one-eyed man explained that his
glass eye had dropped down there and
that he wanted to get it. The Italian
became enraged and told the stranger
to come around in the evening and he
could get the other eye. The man eX-
planned he was a stranger and would
not be here in the evening, but if he
(the Itallan) found the eye he should
bring it to his hotel, where Sl00 would
be paid to him. An hour liter another
man came along. pretended to make
a purchase, and while lingering around
in the fruit suddenly espied the Won
derful glass eye. The man from Italy
made a grab for 1t, but was too late,
as his would-be customer already had
1t. Both claimed the eye and a quar-
rel ensued The Italian patched up
matters by giving the stranger $50 for
the eye, thinking he would get 500
upon returning II and he would have
$50 clear. lie went to the hotel with
the eye to get the 500 that he was
told awaited him there lie found that
no such man had been there and no
800 was left there for him. lie then
saw how he was worked and notified
the police.

The tinplate clippings from the
stamping factories OF this country are
gathered together. tied IN bales. and
delivered at the dock In New York
for about S. tom thence they are
shipped to Holland. where the tin is
recovered and made into lngots. while
the iron scrap is sold and turned to
different uses. Some factories have as
high as 1900 tons Of this scrap tin to
dispose OF in a year. The process used
in Holland for separating the two
metals is secret, and the efforts OF
manufacturers to obtain a knowledge
Of Il has thus far been in vain.
