LOSS REACHES
 QUARTER MILLION Disastrous Fire at East Birming- ham Yesterday Morning. MUCH VAL LIABLE MACHINERY And Lots of Work Under Course of Con struction Was Destroyed-Dr.
 Roland Arrived In the
 City Last Night.
MUCH VAL LIABLE MACHINERY

The loss resulting to the Birmingham Machine and Foundry Company from the destructive fire which visited Its plant at East Birmingham early yesterday morning is much larger than was at first estimated, and will probably reach more than quar- ter of a million dollars.
 The estimated value of the plant destroy ed is placed at about s225,000 and the dam age to work in course of construction at about $50,000.
 The exact amount of insurance could not be ascertained, but 1t is given out that $5O,- GOO was carried through local agents, be- sides some placed through underwriters.
 Dr. R. w. Roland, the president of the company, who was absent from the city on business in connection with the plant was notified by wire, and returned last night at 10 o'clock on the Southern train from At lanta. He was not prepared to make any statement, as he had not had an opportu- nifty to learn any of the details or partic- ulars.
 In the absence of Dr. Roland, Thomas H. Benners, the secretary of the company, yes- terday declined to give out any definite in- formation except in general way.
 Had Many Contracts
 As stated in yesterdays Age-Herald the company had enough contracts to keep the plant running at full time for ten or twelve months.
 Among the work on hand which was de- stroyed in the fire were a number of en- zines and machines for local concerns, be- sides much foreign work, including several contracts for sugar machinery for Louisi- ana, Cuba and the Hawaiian islands.
 Many persons visited the smoking ruins yesterday and watched the workmen re- move the big iron safe. which was found to be in good condition. The combination was worked with little trouble, but the doors were slightly warped from the heat and it was some time before they could be opened. Everything was found intact although some of the papers were slightly scorched. While MT. Benners refused to make any positive statement concerning the future plans of the company, 1t is more than probable that the plant will be re- built at once on larger scale, with every modern facility.

GEMS POSSESS LIFE.
1nclosins Them in Their Cases and
Giving Them a Rest Adds
to Their LusteP.

Real jewels, scientists now assert,
possess organic life. 1t has long been
known that opals and pearls grow dull!
when worn by invalids, and latterly
rubies and the turquoise are found to
share the same sensibility. Pearls IRE
moro indicative of the condition of the
wearer than any other gem. Though
this delicate stone lives longer than
flower, it seems to have a form of life,
which, like that of the flower, loses
color and brilliancy and actually does.
Nor is this property unfounded in rea-
son. Science has latterly learned much
concerning gems and their influence
in the propagation of health and dis
ease. Those invisible carnations which
surround the person wearing gems
penetrate the intcrstices of the jewel
and actually increase or decrease it's
brilliancy. The inference is true one
that'rings and pins should be laid aside
by the invalid. Even in good health, it
is better to give them an occasional
rest. To inclose them in their cases and
put them away is to insure an access
of luster. Even clothing should be
treated to rest. It freshens up won
derfully the frock or wrap, to shake and
brush the garment and hang it in dark

SOAP BUBBLE MAGIC.
Bubbles with Tops Spinning Inside
and Bubbles Frozen to q
L0Okin4-Glass.

Very wonderful as well as very beau

soapy water and the clay pipe, when
skillfully manipulated by such "a
soap-Bubble Magician" as Meredith
Nugent writes of, with convincing il
Illustrations, in the St. Nicholas:
"See that white rose?' Philip ex-
claimed, pointing to beautiful one
resting upon lacquered tray. "Well,
[ am going to put it inside soap-bub-
ble;;" and in very few moments the
flower was sphered over by a bubble so
large and perfect that it seemed as if
made of purest glass. Following this,
Phil set the humming top to spinning,
and amazed his audience by placing
a bubble over that also. While the
top still hummed under its many-hued
canopy, Philip blew another bubble,
and called the attention of those pres
ent to the fact that an old adage said
that bubble would burst as soon as
pricked. "But here is case," he ex-
claimed triumphantly, "where this old
adage, like so many others, is proved
to be false.'' Philip dropped a pen
through the film; then he dropped an

other through; then small key; then
larger key; then two nails; and then
concluded the remarkable exhibition
by pouring some water through, after
which the bubble broke. The I'M
usually long duration of the bubbles
was due also, as Philip explained, to
the low temperature of the room. As
soon as the little ones were assembled
in colder room, dressed as if for
sleigh-ride. Phil blew a bubble very
carefully upon small looking-glass.
At the expiration of 80 seconds its
dimmed, and by the time so seconds
had elapsed all transparency had gone.
''There," cried Phil, sis soap-bubble
which will last year, provided the
room is kept cold enough, for that
bubble is frozen" This performance
so delighted the children that Phil
covered the glass with a whole array
of frozen bubbles; then he broke some
with pencil, and famed the light
pieces of ice, which were like tissue
paper, all about the room.
Our young magician now resumed
his wonderful entertainment in the
warmer apartment. He began by blow
ing large bubble upon the lacquered
tray; then he blew another bubble in
side of this first one. "Two," he called
out; and next, as if to amaze his au-
dience completely, he blew another
bubble inside of this second one, fill
ing it, as he did so, with smoke.
II am about to show you what
think is the prettiest experiment of
ALL" he said, and began to blow large
bubble upon a plate. Then he placed
the lighted candle within lamp-chim-
ney, and thrust the chimney down into
the great bubble.
The browning triumph was yet to
come, however. Philip took tumbler
and half filed it with soapy water;
then he drew from the pasteboard box
small American flag, which he fas-
tened on stick supported by bit OF
wire so that it foated over the tum.
bier. Then, putting long clay pipe
into the glass, he called to his uncle
to blow plenty of smoke through the
pipe. The moment Pills uncle did so
there issued from the tumbler an opal
stream of wondrous beauty hundreds
and hundreds of pure white bubbles,
which poured down the sides of the
tumbler and upon the looking glass
ON which it had been placed. In a few
moments one of the little bubbles
broke. A puff of smoke shot forth,
forming, as it did so, dainty, tiny
ring; then another bubble broke, and
another ring appeared; then the bub-
bles began to explode in such rapid
succession that it became impossible to
count the tiny wreaths.

EYELASHES RENEWED.
ny TransplnatinE the Hair, 1t IL Said,
Unattractive Eyes May Be
Made Irresistible.

Transplanted eyelashes aid eye
brows are the latest things in the way
of personal adornment. Only the brave
and rich can patronize the new method
at present, for besides being painful
and costly, it takes a long time to ac-
complsh it.
There is only one person in New York
who makes speciality of the process,
but in Paris and London, where the
idea originated, there are specialists
who make handsome living out of the
process of transplanting hair from the
head to the eyebrows or eyelashes. The
specialist works by putting in, not on,
the new eyelashes and brows wherever
they are absent or grown thin, and
so cunning is he in his work that not
even the closest scrutiny can detect
any difference.
by means of the new process, it is
said, eyes which are at ordinary times
only passable become languishing in
their expression, while eyes which
were previously considered fine have
their beauty much enhanced.
This is the way new eyelashes are
put in: An ordinary fine needle is
threaded with long hair, generally
taken from the head Of the person to be
operated upon. The lower border of the
eyelid is then thoroughly cleaned, and
in order that the process may be as
painless as possible, rubbed with So
luton of cocaine. The operator then
by a few skillful touches runs his
needle through the extreme edges of
the eyelid between the epidermis and
the lower border of the cartilage of
the tragus. The needle passes in and
out along the edge of the lid, leaving it's
hair thread in loops of carefully gradu-
ated length.
When this has been done another
and another length of hair is sewed
through the lid until finally there are
dozen or more loops projecting. BY
this time the effect of the cocaine has
been lost and the operator is obliged
to desist and put off the further ''sew-
ing of hair" for another sitting.
The next step in the process is cut
ting off and trimming the ends of the
loops, and the result is fine, thick,
long set of eyelashes. It is the finish
ing touch, that is to come, that makes
them look like natures own. When
they are first cut they stick out in the
most singular fashion, giving the per-
son operated upon the most uncanny
look. The operators next step is to
take curling tongs, made of silver and
no larger than knitting needles, and
to give them the curve which is essen
tial to perfect beauty. Then the eyes
are carefully bandaged and kept SO un-
til the following day.
Most of the hairs that have been
transplanted take root and grow, but
few of them fall out and have to be
attended to. For the first month it is
necessary to curl the new eyelashes
every day, but after that they become
properly assimilated, and it is not nee
essary to give them any further atten-
ton.
Eyebrows are doctored in the same
way, but there is not so much pain
associated with the process as in trans
planting eyelashes.-N. Y. Herald.
