THE DAILY BEE: DECEMBER 11, 1880 A DIVINE SHARP. A Chat With a Mormon Bishop About the Polygamous Paradise. . Y., World. JoMn Sharp of the twenty-one Mormon bishops, is in this city at the St. Nicholas hotel. Heis president and superintendentof the Utah South- ern and Utah Central railroads, and vice-president and superintendant of the Utah Southern Extension. The Utah Central extends from Ogden to Salt Lake city, thirty-seven miles; the Southern from Salt Lake city southwest to Juab, 105 miles, and the extension 137 miles from Juab to the Horn silver mines at Frisco. Bishop Sharp is also & director of the Union Pacitic railroad, and his present visit east is solely on railroad basiness, “Just at present,”he eaid to a World reporter yesterday, ‘‘these roads are as active as they were before the crash of 1873, andyou know how things were booming then. The Utah Southern extension has boen built during the past year, the main inducement being the trade offered by the Horn Silver mining interests at Frisco. It is probable that the line will be further extended fifty or sixty milesnext season in order to reach the iron beds of the Pine Valley Mountains and the coal fields and antimony deposits just beyond. The late Brigham Young was the most active supporter of railroad ex- tension in Utah upon the time of his . death snd invested more money in the railroads than any other one maa. But he was opposed to mining and used his pe-eonal influence, when his advice was sought, against it.” ““It has been said that he not only discouragad mining, but took sveps which haveled to the pre-emption in one way or another of all the arable lands in Utah for orin the interce: of Mormons. To what extent is that truet” “It is not true. In Utah, espec- fally in the Salt Lake district, the crops are rsised from water rather than from soil. All the land used has to be irrigated, and often at great expense. Bstween Ogden end Salt Lake Oity the Union Pacific railroad has given ap a tract of several hun- dred thousand acres to settlers who have agreed to irrigate the land and make it valuable. A company with a large capital has been formed and the land that is to be irrigated is as sessed to continue the improvement, which will be completed next year. The water is to be taken from the Weber river, so on the west side of Salt Lake large tracts are now utterly valueless for the want of irrigation, and large sums have been expended for irrigation from the River Jordan, but the work is not yet completed. The case is the same in many of the most desirable agricoltural districts. It takes capital to develop them, and in some cases rich Mormons hold ex- I was dar I fotched him 8 big redfish I had cotched.

HOW GLASS EYES ARE MADE—COUN- TERFEIT OPTICS FOR DOGS AND HORSES—SOMETHING ABOUT DOLLS’ EVES. New York News. “The French no longer monopolize the manu‘acture of glass eyes,” ob served a Broadway optician to a Sun- day News reporter. ‘‘We fre, or rather one New Yorker is, making as perfect ones now as were ever turned out of any of the French factories, and it will not be many months betore our market will be fully supplied with eyes of home manufacture, I ship a great many to South and Central America, and where I had to ke:p the supply up with imported stock last year, I am now sending more than half of American make away.

I don’t know whether gouging is a favorito amuee- me:ut in Bvenos Ayres now, or not, put Isent seyeral gross of eyes to that ]y]nce alone last year, and neatly as many to Rio Janeiro.” The secret of the manufacture of glaes eyes are very jealously-guarded ones, every manufacturer claiming to possess the sole recipe for the com- position of those limpid evamels which so closely approach nature in the color they impart to the artificial cptic. Most of them do have special formula for the manufacture of their enamels, the result of extensive ex- permentalizing, and which they set high valus on. The general method of glass-eye msking, however, is by no means a8 mysterious as it is inter- esting. Artificial optics are made in the first place, upona very minute de- scription of the eye whose loss they are to conceal. The color, shape, size, and general appearance of the sound eye rre epecitied as closely as possible, together with the depth and dimensions of the empty socket and the sizs of the stump. For it must be known that there is always, or almost “No, sah; he tole | and, as people who have to wear one me if I couldn’t borry a tableknife | generally keep a couple on hand in handin’ de knife back when I got| his chin and romarked, “I see by dat | altogether. stuffed round with cotton to be kept in place, and which had such an un- comfortable habit of dropping out in the middle of the sermon and going rattling along the floor like the glass alley of some careless urchin.

A well-known sport- ing man here actually has the teeth of a valuable epeeder plugged with sil- var. If the Fronch have gained the su- premacy of the world in the matter ot artificial eye making, thera is one sort of optics which they do not control * the manufacture of. One of the odd- est industries of Birmingham, En- gland, is the manufacture of dolls’ eyes. Several thousands of people are employed at this apparently 1nsig- nificant industry. Its origin there was told by the pioneer manufacturer before a committee of the house of commons, as follows: ‘‘Eighteen years ago on my first vis it to London, a respectatle-looking man in the city asked me if I could supply him with dolls’ eyes, and I was foolish enough to fesl half offendad. I thought it derogatory to my new dig- nity as a manufacturer to make dolls’ eyes. He took me into a room quite a8 wide and twice as long as this (one of the large rooms for committee in the house of commons)and we had just room to walkunderthe stacks from th floor to the ceiling of parts of doils. He said there were only the legs and arms, the trunks were below; but I saw enough to convince me that he wanted a great many eyes, and as the article appeared quitein my own line of business, Isaid I would take an order by way of experiment, and he showed me several specimens. I cop- ied the order, and, on returning to the Travistock hotel I found it amounted to uapward of £500.” Prof. Guilmeite's name is a household word in France, and #o it shouid be, for he 18 the In- ventor of the French Kidney Pad, which has per- formed such wond:rful curee in diseases of the kidueys.

There has been no change ot faith or practice We do mnot expect railroad extensions or mine developments to interfera with us a8 Mormons or with Mormon in- stitations in the lsast. Along the lines of our new roads we seek all classes of settlers and capitalists, They give us no trouble and we do not interfere with them. We aid each other. There are, of course, some noisy, troublesome do-naughts and a smattering of busybodies always try- ing to create a sensation and alwsys atuiibuting their failure to ‘act up in the world’ to Mormoniem. But they don’v amount to much. Eight-tenths of the people are Mormons, end very few of the youn er people leave the faith, while additions are constantly being made by immigration. Two thousand emigrauts have arrived at Salt Lake this season from Ear.pe. The quorum of twelve which becawe the head of the church at the death of Brighsm Young still retain their power. Their functions as apostles have besn in no way sbridged by the election in October of John Taylor as prophet or by the two councils chozen to act with him.” ““Are the Mormous still anxious to bave Utah declared a state 7" “Yes, indeed.

Glass eyes, as every one knows, are made to be placed under the eye- lid. They consist of two distinct shells, the interior one, which pre- sents the aspect of the natural eye, and the interior or lining one, which is fitted to the stump.
