4 City of DnIlmakers.

At Sonneberg, which is in the heart OF
Germany, all the inhabitants are in the
business of dollmaking-12,0O 600 people are
all more or less dollmakers-and among
them they produce no fewer than %, 0OO, 600
dozen doll babies every year. 1t is hard to
realize what an enormous quantity that is.
After this n sounds odd to say that in
Sonneberg it takes so persons to make a
doll. Yet such is the fact. In Germany
labor is subdivided as much as possible, or,
in other words, n dollmaker does one little
thing from years end TO years end, and
thus it comes about that il takes so people
TO make a doll
Little boys, when they enter the Some
berg factories, spend long time in paint
ing nails on dolls fingers, for which they
are paid about % cents n week. Some girls
do nothing but fill bodies with chopped hay
or straw. Men pass their lives in painting
Dolly's laslies and brows, and others in put
ing rouge On her checks. So it is with other
parts OF q doll; each is done by one person.
The dolls wigs are made by girls at Mu-
Mich, and their eyes come from little town
only n few miles from Sonneberg and are
made by men in their own homes.
Endless are the varieties Of dolls. Every
Sonneberg manufacturer has about 100 de-
signs. Taste varies, and besides in ex-
porting dolls many things have TO be taken
into consideration y wax one cannot be
sent TO II very hot or a very cold country.
In the former it would melt, in the latter
crack Then if a doll has rubber joints
she cannot lie sent a long sea voyage. for
on arrival st her destination she would be
arnless and leSless. y sea journey also
takes the curl out of Dolly's hair and the
starch out of her clothes. Fashion, more
over, IS constantly changing. A doll which
everybody buys one season is not looked at

Where penguins are found at all, they
are found in prodigious numbers, as at the
Falkland islands, where their deep, re-
sonant cries add greatly to the dreary desc
latiOn of the place. While on land their
habit of sitting together in long rows, with
their blush backs contrasted with the
white breast, gives them ludicrous re-
semblance to an infant school of white
aproned children. The female bird lays
only one egg, large and of a grayish white
color If disturbed during incubation she
viii shuttle away ut n rapid rate, rolling
the egg along between her feet till she
reaches place OF safety.
The solitary young bird is covered with
fluffy gray wool and is so abundantly fed
by both parents that it soon becomes al
most too fat to move. They feed on cutie
fish and various crustaceans. There are
many species of this bird, the crested vari-
ETY. being really handsome, its bright,
golden topknot, which can be erected at
pleasure, giving it n very conspicuous ap-
pearance. 1t aDounds in dreary Patagonia
and is, like all penguins, very noisy bird.

The Power Of Water.

"a Southern Engineer" contributes a
valuable article on Geology and the
Mississippi Problem" to the Engineering
Magazine. In it be says:
I've find in water the only tireless
agent that works in the modification OF
continents; and instead of being the
great renovator Of the land, as it is pop
ularly conceived, it is the great de-
stroyer. The destruction OF ancient
Rome has been attributed to time. But
it was due simply to the moisture of the
atmosphere working thro Ugh chemical
agencies. It was water, invisible but
penetrating even the very stones OF the
wonderful city, that caused her to
crumble to ruins, and gave to modern
Rene a grade greatly elevated above her
ancient grade. But it works not alone
in the cities and towns. There is not
hill on earth that has not been shorn OF
some of its altitude by this subtle force,
and there is not mountain on earth, II
not ftfully renewed by volcanic action,
that has not been compelled 10 lower us
peak before this universal leveler OF tho
exalted. 1t may be dreadful thought,
indeed, but we do not know absolutely
that we are not dependent on the earth
quake and the volcano for keeping our
continental habitat above the level OF
the ocean; for water not only destroys,
but it has the persistency and force to
carry off to its burial place in the sea all
that it has caused to perish. 1t may
take long time at its task bat working
either in its gaseous, its liquid, or its
solid form, it seems to be the most per-
sistent thing on earth, never perishing,
and, however divided and invisible at
times, always ready to unite its forces
for supreme effort at the degradation
of continent.
