LARGEST BOTTLE BLOWN.
One in New York City That Holds
sixty-Five Gallons, Five
Feet High.

The largest blown glass bottle In the
United States, or in the world, so far as
the makers know, is on exhibition in a
window In Barclay street, just above
Greenwich. 1t holds 65 gallons and is
shaped something like a baby's nursing
bottle-narrow at the bottom, bullying
1t the midle, with a small neck and
mouth. The bottle is a trif1e less than
five feet high, and is about four feet in
circumference at its widest part, reports
the New York Times.
The mar who blew 1t at the factory
In New Jersey is just about as tall as the
bottle. II he could manage to squeeze
through its neck, he could sleep very
comfortably inside of 1t. II the surface
area OF the glass blown into the bot
tie were pun silk, 1t would make .
gown for a moderately large sized wom-
an. Although blowing by guesswork,
tempered with long experience, the man
exceeded by only half an ounce his in
structions al to the size of the bottle
65 gallons.
The firm read in a western newspa-
per Of a hitherto unaccomplished feat"
as alleged, of a blown bottle holding 40
gallons. The Barclay street makers
sent one of that size to the Philadelphia
Centennial, more han rs years ago.
Just to show that 1t was still in the ring,
this 65-gallon bottle was made. The
manager says hat he could blow a hun
dred-gallon bottle If he had a place to
put 1t in his window.
Pinned to a card at the base of the
big bottle is the smallest bottle in the
world, its appropriate RUNNING mate. 1t
holds just four drops, and must be filled
with a hypodermic syringe. 1t is so
small that it has to be fastened against
a jet-black background in order that
persons looking in at the window car
see 1t. More time was dequired to make
the four-drop bottle than the 65-gallon
one.
The substitution of machinery for
human labor in glass bottle factories is
not making much Roadway. For the
finer grades of work machinery is NJ
good at all. Skilled mechanics are al
work improving it all the time, and
they promise TO succeed some day, just
as they cid with the typesetting ma
chimes. Meanwhile the efficient glass
blower has the call. There is a great
deal of boy labor in the factories, which
are scattered throughout New York
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois
Ohio and Indiana, Each blower re-
quires from two to three boys to carry
hotties from tha mO1dpr tO the annpa1-
ing ven In some factories the blow.
ers are required to furnish their OWL
boys.

Twenty-Five churches in New York.
most of them in fashionable neighbor-
hoods, were lately placed under a
ban by the health department. The
church people have been notified that
they must either make repairs which
will render the edifices sanitary or
they will be posted as unfit for occu-
pancy. The objections rest mainly
against systems of ventilation and
drainage. One of the curious things
about the investigation, which has
been going forward for some weeks, is
that very few churches in the oorer
quarters were found in an unsanitary
condition.-Detroit Free Press.

BURGLARS WERE THWARTEO
BOLD LAWBREAKERS ATTEMPT
TO ENTER RESIDENCE OF
MRS. L. j. REYNOLDS.

One of the boidest attempts at burg
larry known to the local police oc-
CURED about 10 o'clock Tuesday even
ing when two masked men sought to
gain entrance in the home of Mrs.
L. ]. Reynolds, "a clinton street, The
midnight prowlers completely failed to
carry away the anticipated "swag''
owing to the unexpected appearance of
a member of the household. The police,
however, We're at once notified, but the
bold, bad men succeeded in making
good their escape before the arrival Of
the officers.
Gushing Baker, who is living with
his aunt, MIS- Reynolds, was the first
to discover the miscreants Shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock he mad occasion to open
the rear door of the house and as he
did this he turned on the electric
lights. To his astonishment he noticed
the building and mans foot was
plainly in evidence just beneath the
top of the door space Cushing imme-
| diately closed the door and asked his
aunt for his revolver and az the same
time told her to notify the police. The
burglar evidently became excited in his
hasty efforts to escape. and, missing
one round of the ladder. came found
ering down to the ground.
The police in the meantime We're no.
titled but even before Gushing reached
the door with his trusty weapon. the
burglar had escaped. His partner in
the deal managed to jump into a neigh
boring tree ana also escape before the
police officers arrived upon the scene.
IT was impossible for the officers tC
gain any clue which might lead TO the
burglars capture. AS the incident hap
pened early in the evening ard before
| the members of the household had re-
| tired. it is the belief of many that the
attempted crime was committed by
| lawbreakers of the amateur class.

.L0WERY At
LAST SPEAKS
ALLEGED WIFE DESERTER SAYS
THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO
THE STORY.

Information charging w. G. Lowerly
with wilfully deserting his wife ami
refusing TO provide for her support was
filed by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Mcdonald in superior court yesterday
afternoon This will be the first case
of wife desertion to be tried in the
Walla Walla superior court under the
new law which makes the charge fell
Ony.
Attorney Timothy Paul, who mas
charge of Lowery's case, is of the Opin-
ion that the story of both the Plaintiff
and defendant is more complicated
than at first expected. Lowery seems
confident that he will be cleared from
the charge of wife desertiOn, and in
fact produced several receipts repre-
senting full payment of his wife's bills
up 70 the time she left him. He claims
that she has at various times treated
him shamefuly and that during these
periodical fits of madness he always
left her for several days He also
claims that his wife was not residing
in their home at the time he took away
the furniture and that every statement
he has made to his attorney can be
proven by his neighbOrs.

WAS PUNISHMENT JUST?
UNFAiTHFUL SPOUSE BUY S
BOOZE INSTEAD OF cHlLD'S
CLOTHING.

Two black eyes and sound beating
was the punishment inflicted upon Mrs.
George Peasner by her husband when
he returned to the humble Peasner
dwelling Monday morning and learned
that his better half had proceeded to
engage in a joyful lark with the crisp,
new SO bill which he had given her
the day before with which to purchase
clothing for her child.
During the early hours of morning,
the police department was notified
that a perfect hubub of cries and cur
ses coming from the Peasner home was
creating considerable disturbance to
; the peaceful residents living nearby
Sergeant Morse and Officer Buck at
once proceeded to the home and found
! that the rough house" reported was
actual in every meaning of the word
Tables were overturned and, other
household furniture scattered about the
| floor 1t was then that the angry hus-
(, band told his story.
AS the difficulty of the Peasner home
has been, and perhaps always will be
too perplexing to solve. the little mis-
understanding between the man and
wife was overlooked. but it is under
stood that the prosecuting attorneys
office is in quest of additional fnfor-
nation which will result in the re-
mOval of the child from the care of its
PARENTS.
