GUSS FOB WINDOWS Art of the Man Who Manipulates the Blowpipe. SHAPING THE MOLTEN MASS. Tha Juggler Before the Fiery Furnace Must Have Skill and Strength and Dexterity—The Flattening and Cleaning Process. In different towns in the gas belt of Kansas there are great factories where window glass is made. It is an interesting process. Entering the factory, we see great bins of sand, carbon and lime mixed together in a fine powder ready to be dumped by a swinging crane. 250 pounds at a time, into the crucible or tank of melting glass near by. At hand also are heaps of broken glass—the trimmings and debris of the factory. These are also melted up and used again. The furnace fire, fed by gas, glows to a brilliant white. The crucibles of baked clay are bathed in this beat of 2,800 degrees. Into these crucibles a placid Belgian loads from time to time the mixture of sand, carbon and lime until, when melted. It makes 600 tons of molten glass. It is this molten glass at the other end of the furnace that the blowers take out on their blowpipes to use. The Belgian wears smoked glasses to protect his eyes from the fiery light Passing to the other end of the factory where the blowers are, you feel as if approaching a great stage prepared tor some highly spectacular scene. The dozen terrible furnaces throw a brilliant light across the floor, but cast strange bobbing and crouching shadows up among the dark rafters. There is no talk. Breath is precious where it is used to make window glass. Scantily dressed men hurry here and there, carrying great wads of soft glass so white as to throw out a slight violet glow. Each man is a clear cut, rosy silhouette against a dark background if yon see the furnace side of him or a sharp, black silhouette against a light background if he stands between you and the furnace. Possibly the most picturesque part of it all is the place where the blower takes the lump of glass with its cavity possibly eighteen Inches long and skillfully increases that cavity by further inflating it with his breath until it is fully as large as himself. He stands before the open door of a furnace. A swinging screen is between him and the fire. The screen is notched, on which he may rest his blowpipe with its long glass weight at the end. Resting the cylinder so, he may push it into the fiery furnace if it has grown slightly hard or by a movement draw it out again. The melted glass is taken by a man called a ‘'gatherer" on the end of a blowpipe—that is. a hollow crowbarlike instrument. The mass of soft glass to be worked weighs perhaps fifty or sixty pounds. The blower injects air by blowing through his pipe into the middle of it to inflate it like a balloon, except that the hollow glass is much longer than wide and locks like a monstrus bottle five feet long by its neck from the end of the blowpipe. In manipulating the glass the blower must keep the huge bottle suspended and moving almost constantly, and for this a long opening into the basement is made in the floor before him. Here he swings back and forth his great six foot blowpipe with six feet more of glass at the end. Now and then he twirls It gayly upward and. resting it on the screen, swings it lightly into the fire, blows a little pchaps and before you know it has it back down in the opening in the floor, swinging it skillfully back and forth, twirling it lightly, as though It did not weigh, blowpipe and all, something like seventy pounds. Just before the glass becomes too hard to manage the blower, by one of those simple twists which he is paid good wages for knowing how to do, manages to cause a hole to appear in the bottom of the bottle, and it widens and widens for a minute until there is no bottom to the bottle. A helper then takes the blowpipe with the now hard bottomless bottle and carefully breaks off the one from the other. Along comes the "snapper,” who winds a little string of soft redbot glass around our big bottle at just the point where the sides beein to narrow toward the neck. A little rap on the glass, and the neck drops off. cleaving away in a perfect line just where the redhot glass touched. We now have left a great perfect cylinder of glass five feet long and fourteen or eighteen inches in diameter and weighing about sixty pounds, blowpipe and all. As it lies on the table another man reaches into it with a redhot iron looking like a poker. He traces with this redhot point a straight line on the side of the cylinder from end to end, and at once the glass splits on that line. Now yen have a cylinder with a crack down one side, and you can readily see that if the cylinder can be persuaded to flatten out It will be a nearly square sheet. Here comes a reckless boy with a spring pushcart. He loads ten of these cylinders on, placing each in a festoon of two leather straps, which are strung on springs, and away he goes full gallop down a slight incline to the great flattening room. There our cylinder will be eoaxed ont flat by a gentle heating. great enough to soften but not enough to melt the glass. A great, low oven Is the flattening place. A hoy lifts into the oven on a

| —-X »•. w"—. • —wr- — — traveling table one of the huge cylinders. You remember it has been cooled. so now the end of the oven at which it enters is not very warm, but it is moved along by hidden machinery through greater and greater heat until it finally rests on a smooth stone table in a section of the oven so hot that the glass grows slightly soft and limp enough so that a man by reaching into the oven with a long handled scraper can easily smooth ft out flat. When this has been successfully done, the great revolving stone table on which it has been lying while flattening wheels it around to a copier part I of the oven. It is given a little push and slides off on to an iron frame which travels slowly through the sections of the oven, i growing gradually cooler and cooler. At the last end, sixty feet away, it is cool enough to be handled by a man with gloves, who stands the sheet of glass in a frame which dips It by machinery into a bath In the basement of boiling water and muriatic and nitric acid. This thoroughly cleans the glass. Glass blowers are strong men. Like : the village blacksmith, their "muscles . are strong as iron bands.” The glassblowers' guild attends strictly to its own affairs and will take only a limited number of apprentices. I who must be sons or brothers of glassblowers. They know their business and know ' it well—know all there is at present to be known about It—and so they are secure of always having a job. and one i that pays well. Many of them make SSO a week. The glassblower is proud of his work. He chose it when a boy. He I expects to stay with it while he lives. He is proud that his father before him and his grandfather—yes, and often his great-grandfather before him — were blowers, and he hopes and believes that his family to come for generations more will also be blowers of glass.— Kansas City Star. DOUBLING IN BRASS. ; Minstrels Not the Only Men Who May Be Called Upon to Do This. “I’ve beard of calls for minstrels that could double in brass," said a man who likes to read the advertisements in newspapers and that I could under- ! stand. “The bones or the tambo man or the Interlocutor or the man that sings the sweet tenor songs—every member of the troupe, in fact—may, I know, have to double in something—that is to say, be able to play on some sort of band instrument—for the men who sit around in a semicircle on the stage and jest and sing and make fun as minstrels will perhaps appear in other hours as members of what may be a very fair . brass band, which parades the streets I or gives a band concert on the balcony I of the opera house before the evening performance. “So doubling in brass for minstrels I understand, but here are machinists wanted to do the same thing. Here is an advertisement from a place up the state calling for machinists, lathe, bench and planer hands, who must be musicians and play cornet, trombone or B bass, and that is a new one to me. First time I ever beard of ability to play on some band Instrument being required as a qualification for getting a job as a machinist” “Why, that’s an easy one,” said the other. "That's a call for men who are musicians, from a factory that’s got a brass band made up out of men in the shops. “Some of the best known bands in the country, or some of the bands best known in their parts, anyway, have been made up in that way and have borne the names of the manufacturing establishments to which they belonged. Such bands give concerts and turn out in parades in their own and in neighboring towns. “Some of these factory bands of smaller cities and towns have been very good bands indeed, as well they might be, with good training, made up as they have been of men selected from the hundreds, perhaps many hundreds, of employees engaged in some great manufacturing concern, with a high class professional musician for leader and a few trained musicians for the leading instruments. “Ail over the country, in towns big and little, there are scattered local brass bands innumerable and good and bad, great numbers of the players in these bands being not professional musicians, but men engaged in other regular occupations who have a musical turn and, it may be, musical skill, who take up the playing because they like it or perhaps for the profit there is in it Some of these bands are made np from the available material to be found in the entire population of a town. Then there are college brass bands and school brass bands and shop brass bands, such bands being composed of players from among the students or the workers in the several institutions or shops in which the bands are form- ; ed.”—New York Sun. —,— The Word “Toast" The word "toast” used for describing the proposal of a health in an after dinner speech, dates back to mediaeval times, when the loving cup was still regarded as an indispensable feature of every banquet. The cup would be filled to the brim with wine or mead, in the center of which would be floating a piece of toasted bread. After putting his lips thereto the host would pass the cup to the guest of honor, seated on his right band, and the latter would in turn pass it to his right hand neighbor. In this manner the cup would circulate around the table, each one present taking a sip, until finally the cup would come back to the host, who would drain what remained and swallow the piece of toast in honor of all the friends assembled nt bis table.
