BOWL BIG AS A wAsHTuR.
Greatest Piece of Cut Glass Ever
Blown in World.

In the window of a great jewelry
house in New York there has been on
exhibition for some weeks a cut-glass
punch bowl valued at $4,000. 1t is the
largest cut-glass bowl in the world,
having circumference of seven feet
seven inches, three inches NOR = than
any other bowl ever successfully cut.
This magnificent specimen of handi-
craft has attracted the attention of
the world of arts and crafts to the ad-
vance made by American workmen in
an art in which. until few years ago,
Europeans excelleG.
The bowl was cut in Brooklyn, the
cutters name being John S. Earl, and
it represents 210 days labor in the
cutting by Mr.. Earl and two as
sistants. To cut such a large piece
was a great triumph, but the greatest
credit of all in the production of the
bowl is due New England workmen,
who made the blank" on which
cutter worked.
Given large blank, any sSillfu'
cutter can produce a large piece of
cut glass. The test, so far as size
goes, lies in the ability of glass-blow-
ers to produce the blank. Glass
works where very large blanks of
high grade can be produced are rare,
but one that produces more high
grade blanks of large size than any
ether in the country, If not in the
world, is that from which the blank
for this great bowl came, the Union
Glass works in Somerville.
Glasscutters in all parts of the com
try send to the Somerville works for
blanks The works have been in
existence more than half a century
and have outlived all the other glass
works in New England, prospecting
while the glass trade died out around
them.
Now the Union works employs more
than 200 highly skilled men and pro
duce a quality of glass that can not
be duplicated Its workmen are vers
ed in ali branches of the art and can
blow blanks for frail champagne
glasses and for great punch bowls
in the same day and equally well
This skill has not been acquired
qIickly. There are men in the works
now past middle life who went to
work there as boys. Day after day
and year after year they have been
seriously practicipg the difficult art
and none in their calling can now
excel them in skill.
When the order came for the blank
for the great punch bowl, the man
ayers of the works consulted theiI
head gaffer-a gaffer, in glass blow
ing works, is head man, IN overseer
the word being an old English dialect
corruption of grandfather-and the
head gaffer, William P. Doran, who
has been in the works since his youth
said he thought the firm could turn
out a twenty-seven inch bowl if any
| body could.
Previously the largest bowl produc
ed had been twenty-four inches. Be
yond that size the difficulty Of proiuc
| ton increases at a ratio quite out OF
proportion to the three extra inches
| desired

Producing the Great Blank

For the production of the great
blank, every condition in the works
hal to be right. The mixture Of
white sand. red lead, saltpeter and
other ingredients used as the base of
glass had to be compounded to secure
the greatest purity, with utter absence
of coloriRg. The heat in the melting
furnaces had to be just so. for the
same reason. Then the workmen who
were TO be trusted with the task of
producing the. bowl must be conf
dent.
1t may be stated that there is no
trade ia which a man can less afford
to be nervous than in that of glass
blower
In the Union works. as il all glass
works, the men work in gangs. or
shops" with a gaffer or overseer' at
the head of each shop.
The work of producing the record
breaking blank was intrusted to the
shop OF CATER john Lofquist, who
stands with the elect among the glass
blowers, and has the strength and en-
durance necessary 10 manipulate large
masses Of molten glass.
Lofquist was assisted in rashioning
the bowl by three men of his shop,
called gatherers and servitors, who
gathered the molten glass.
The process of making the bowl be-
can with thrusting a long. heavy
blowpipe of iron. enlarged to a blunt
end. into the molten metal in the pot.

New York Cotton Letter.

Ardmore, |. r., July 3l-Fol-
lowing is New York cotton let.
ter by Mcintyre:
The market acted in such a
peculiar manner today that it
plainly indicated manipulation.
There was enough bull news to
put the prices above the II cent
basis; but instead the market
advanced only 5 to 8 points in
the early trading and it was
swamped on selling orders from
big operators here and at New
Orleans.
Some thought that the failure
to advance on the Giles report
was because the market had
been bulled TO death and had dis
counted IA condition as low as 20
per cent in the Governments re-
port which is due at noon Thurs
day.
The failure of the market to
even hold this slight advance
on later kilograms from New Or.
leans giving the gist of the
Times Democrat report convinc.
ed the traders that insiders were
selling out or putting pressure
on the market to break it down,
and this followed selling move,
ment rather actively in the later
trading and helped to break the
market to the maximum decline
of Is to Is points from Saturdays
c'ose. We are expecting the
Commerce report tomorrow, and
We cant see how this report can
do anything else than fall into
lire with others which haze been
recently issued, and show a low.
er average than its report of last
month. If the governments re,
port of Thursday makes condi.
tions rs per ct. it will be about
the poorest on record at this
season of the year, and we'd
rather buy cotton than to sell it.
