MAKING BOWLING BALLS.
The Very Hard Lignum-Vtae Wood
Found Best.

| The popularity of bowling has
| grown to such an extent in all parts of
the United States that the manufac-
ture of bowling balls. pins and alleys
has become an industry which gives
| employment to thousands of men.
! While the work of constructing the
| alleys does rot require any great
! amount of ingenuity, it is in the shap-
| ing and modelling of bowling balls
that great skill and careful workman
ship. are required. A man connected
with the largest firm manufacturing
bowling balls, alleys and pins in
| America tells how the balls are made:
Bowling balls are made almost ex-
clusively out of a wood from the West
Indies and Cent? al American countries
known as lisnum- vitae, one of the
hardest woods known. We have
several agents nj those countries buy
ing up this wood all the year round 1t
is shipped in the rough to our factory
in chunks about to feet in length
and varying in diameter from to 20
inches. The logs are put into special
ly constructed cylinder and cut into
blocks, after which the edges are
rounded with band saw. The
rough balls are then turned over to
expert mechanics, who, with the aid
of turning lathes, gradually plane
| them down to the required size. The
balls are then smoothed with a sand
paper turner, receive coat Of shellac
| and oil and are complete, with the ex-
ception of the finger holes, which are
frequently bored to measure while
you wait A similar process is used
| in the manufacture of pins, which are
| turned out of Georgia pine and maple
blocks, for the most part, these pins
being considered the best by reason
of their durability and fneness.
"The demand for bowling balls and
pins is much greater than the supply,
and we have been forced to run our
factory night and day in a vain effort
to fill our orders. Our factory in Chi
cago, which is the largest one of its
kind in the country, employees about
$50 hands and turns out over 500 balls
day, but when you stop to consider
tiiiI thCA al = plODdUly OUaOUU DOWllUS
alleys in the country you will rot won-
der that we are overwhelmed with
work. With each alley sent out set
of balls is provided and an average Of
three sets Of balls to an alley are
used each year. Old balls can be
turned down once. but after that they
are useless. The pins do not last as
long as the balls, and an average of
five sets year are used to an alley.
"lhe regulation bowling ball
weighs about 16 pounds and is 81
inches in circumference. In a set
of Al balls 4 of them are of the regu-
lation size and ranging from that size
down to the smallest size used in the
cocked-hat game.
"a ball of the regulation size costs
from SO to $780, but we make many
extra-fine ones to order, which sell
for fancy prices. "-Exchapge

LATEST PARIS FADS.
Pink Teeth and Animals 'the Newest

The newest turn" in Partisan music
halls is the appearance of a lady with
pink teeth. She is a native of Can

has examined them says that they will
never decay They are as hard as
diamonds and the latter gems are the
only material with which a mark can
be made on their suffice. The lady
is very pl city, and her pink teeth are
said to enhance her charms. She ap-

electric lamp in her mouth The light
shines through the pink ivory and is
reported to produce an effect which is
fascinating as well as weird. The lady
is going on the stage for the purpose
of collecting dowry to enable her to
marry young Chinaman who has
fallen in love with her pretty face and
her pink teeth and whose affection she
