EUROPE OUR MARKET.
Tne Wonderful Absorptive Power OF
Old Void for American Products,

'
Old Void for American Products.
In an article in Worlds Work on
"What Europe Means to U.s." ]. ID.
Whelpley presents facts of tremen-
dous meaning to the United States.
He says:
Always buying more than 1t sells,
eating more than comes from its soil
lending more than It borrows, and in
every way apparently giving more
than II takes, Europe's constantly in.
creasing population. wealth and power
form a mystery, for they are the
most wonderful and fascinating OF all
economic phenomena.
The United States has population
OF twenty-five to the square mile. In
the past one hundred years, Europe
has sent 40,0O0,0O0 people to the
United States and other new coun.
tries, and yet today has a population
OF lO3 to the square mile, or nearly
twice as many as when this emigra
tion began. In the meantime, wages
have increased, wealth has piled up
trade has quadrupled, and the pur-
chasing power of the people OF Eur.
ope has more than kept pace with all
these advances.
Even to estimate the animal do.
mestic exchanges of Europe is beyond
the reach Of Ineligible figures. The
foreign exchange Is a quantity which
can be determined with more or less
accuracy, however, and its amount
4,O00,000,000 annually-conyey an
idea OF the tide of commerce that
flows through this heart OF the world.
The imports of these eighteen coun.
tries amount to $4,000, 900, 900, the ex-
ports to $4,000, 900, 900, showing an ex.
cess of purchases over sales amount
Ing to $2,000,000,000. The imports
from abroad, meaning from countries
other than European, are to supply
European deficiencies, and these are
largely OF food and raw materfafs. ,..s
About Go per cent of the total ex-
ports from the United States ARE OF
agricultural products, though much of
this might be regarded as manufac-
tured goods because many agricul-
lurh prouucts are put through man
ufactuffng processes. Roughly speak,
ing, the American people sell $780,.
100000 worth IUf such > products a
year to foreign buyers. Nearly 80 per
cent goes to Europe, hence about four.
hfths OF the American goods sent to
Europe supply food and raw material
American products feed the operatives
In the European mills and factories
who are making goods for all the
world. They provision the foreign
ships which carry the worlds com
merce, and keep down the cost of liv.
ing In Europe by supplementlng the
comparatively scanty supply of home
grown foods. These agricultural pro.
ducts OF America are now so neces.
sary to Europeans that they are ad-
mitted without serious restrictions
to nearly all European markets.

One would not suppose the demand
for artificial eyes great enough to war
rant the erection of vast manufacture
ing plants, big retail establishments
and distributing depots, yet the manu-
facture of glass eyes has developed
into a great industry, and the output
is no greater than the demand.
The method of making glass eyes
requires not so much the artisans
skill as she ability of the artist. A
specially prepared glass that comes
In long opaque tubes, as big in circum-
ference as an average sized cane is
used, and the coloring is done with
long glass pencils. These are cut in.
to three or four inch lengths, each di.
vision snfiuient for one eye The
length is held over an intensely hot
fire and drawn out at both ends to
long slim points. The. bulb in the
center Is then enlarged slightly. and
one point is cut off
To color it is the next and most
delicate part of the manufacturers
work. The iris is the first part col.
ored. A body color IL applied This
is followed by the pupil, after when
the tiny veins are worked out All
this is worked over the white body,
or sclerotic coat, and most eyes are
then complete. Some, however, are
enameled before they are sent out
of the factory. These are dipped in.
to a crucible filed with enamel. An
intense fire kept burning beneath the
vessel, requires that the crucible be
mad Of platinum.
At the end of two years the enamel
is generally worn OFF. The irritation
the caused by the eyelid rubbing
against the unenameled glass neces-
states a change, and a new artificial
eye has to be procured II
The idea that a glass eye can be
moved by the optical muscles is er.
roneous. II II moves at all il is mere.
ly result of the action of the eyelid.
The price of artificial eyes is ex.
tremely reasonable, From S., to $40
cover most cases, and II Is, only
made to order" case that is expen-
sive. Even then $50 Is the outside
price.--New York News.
