MAXKAHN BRANCHES
OUT IN THE EXPORT
JEWELRY BUSINESS
FORMER RESIDENT OF PENsA-
COLA, SPOKEN OF HIGHLY BY
THE PHILADELPHIA PUBLIC
LEDGER.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger, in
recent issue contained the following
regarding Max Kahn, former resi-
dent of this city, who has a large
circle of friends in this vicinity:
Jewelry of the cheaper grades, it
was learned yesterday, has received a
big export boom as a direct result of
the European conflict. M. L. Kahn &
CO., one of the largest manufacturers
and handlers of this line of jewelry
in the United States, with main show
rooms at 1914 and 1915 Arch street,
have established in the last four
months what is expected to prove a
permanent trade with Egypt, Spain
and Portugal. The firm this week has
received inquiries covering large
orders from England and varauus
South American countries.
A greater part of the industry, it
was pointed out yesterday, is new to
this country. Many of the articles
now being turned out here were made
only in Germany before the war, and
the foreign and domestic demand for
these goods since the war closed that
source of supply induced American
manufacturers to produce the German
kind here. NJ L. Kahn, the head Of
the firm, said that the foreign demand
for the cheap grades of jewelry has
grown so in volume that he has found
it necessary to employ extra help to
prepare orders for shipment. The
wrapping requires much attention to
detail. For instance, in orders going
to Egypt, all the goods have to be
separated from the cards accompany
ing them. This applies chiefly to
necklaces and to tie and clasp pins
that are ordinarily attached to cards
for show purposes.
The duty on cardboard going into
the land of the Sphinx is higher than
the import tax on jewelry, hence the
articles are sent separately, the lat
ter going by express and the card
board by mail. A score Of girls were
engaged at two long tables in the rear
of the Kahn & Co.'S showrooms yes
terday preparing the jewelry for ship
ment. The goods were destined to
merchants in Barcelona, Madrid, Lis
bon, Alexandria and Cairo. An un-
usal and pleasing feature about the
new foreign trade is the fact that the
transactions are for cash on bills of
lading. The prices are the same as
for the regular domestic trade, and
the price of the foreign goods, whole
sale, ranges from $3.50 to $3.50 a
gross.

ECLIPSE
OF sun THIS WEEK
WILL BE VISIBLE IN PENSACOLA,
BUT SHADED GLASS SHOULD
BE USED IN LOOKING sTEADI-
LY AT PHENOMENA.

A partial eclipse of the sun will be
observable in Pensacola on Thursday
of this week, beginning about II
o'clock in the morning and ending
about 2:30. It may be seen from this
point partially, and if the weather is
fair, good view should be obtained,
Cautioning all who attempt the use
of telescopes directly on the face of
the sun, and also for the protection of
the eyes of those who will be watching
the phenomena, the following advice is
suggested by an authority:
Persons who observe the eclipse
should have shade glasses for pro-
tecting the eyes, and if observations
are, made with telescopes suitable
solar eyepieces are to be used. The
heat of the sun concentrated by the
object glass of a telescope is very
great and on no account should the
sun be looked at directly by the eye.
Instead of looking at the sun direct
~ a small image of the sun may be
formed on a piece of cardboard by
allowing the sunlight to pass through
a small hole, preferably blackened on
the inside, of another card. The
eclipse can be photographed with the
ordinary small camera, but this has
short focus and will give a small
image. The camera is to be focused
previously on a distant object. The
lens is to be stopped down, and the
shortest practicable exposure is to
be employed.
Cali the data regarding the eclipse
can be found in the American
Ephemersi and Nautical Almanac for
1915. The path of totality begins
about 1000 miles of the coast of Mex
lea and sweeps towards the southeast
over the United States of Columbia
and Venezula, and then towards the
northeast, touching the island of
Guadeloupe, and ending south of
Cape Clear, on the coast of Ireland"

TONIGHT WILL BE
ROUND OF PLEASURE
PHUNMAKERs WILL PUT ON
THEIR UNIQUE ENTERTAIN
NENT AT THE KEYsER AUDI
ToRIUM.

Well, it's tonight-"A Round of
Pleasure" the much-advertised event
that the Phunmakers will present at
the Keyser auditorium.
So much has already been said in
favor Of this entertainment that PEN
sacolians need no further reference,
save TO say that this will be Plum
maker affair-and all Phunmaker af-
fairs are successes. The Phunmakers
only give an affair every two or three
months, and it might be said that
apart from "That" Minstrel, in which
they are interested with the Carnival
Association, for presentation at the
opera house Feb. 18th, they will have
no other affair until the night of
March 9th, which will be their coro-
nation ball.
Tonight will offer for the first time
in Pensacola the feature of unceasing
music. When the ball opens at 8 p.
m. the music will start-that is one
orchestra will--immediately that it
stops the other orchestra will begin
to play, and so will it continue until
the wee hours of morning. As one
young lady remarked yesterday, 1--WE
can dance till the cows come home"
The big feature will be the two much
advertise "Fire" and Butterfly"
dances. These two electrical effects
have been rented for this occasion and
nothing like them have ever been
seen at public affair in this city. The
price will be fifty cents. There will
be the same order preserved as at all
Phunmaker dances. Ask those who
have attended such entertainments,
that's the best recommendation-for
instance, 1.-THE Midnight Frolic."
