Baked Men.
Workers in porcelain factories nr*
iiterally baked, but. by some miracle
they remain sufficiently underdone to
M'c. At least if they are not quite
baked they endure a stronger heat
than that which browns the Sunday
sirloin. The furnuees wherein porce
lain is finished are kept at the fiercest
heat used in any industry. A chain
<»r workmen, their heads and bodies
swathed in fireproof garments, take
the finished pieces from the fire one at
a time and pass them to the cooling
room Tlie man at the head of this
chain—he " ho stands nearest the fur
coo—can only work in five minute
shifts, in his interims of rest lie lies
on a mattress drinking glass after
glass of i^o water from the hands of
a small boy. At lunchtime all about
