interest taken by women in the magic
art it is significant that a school
of magic was recently established in
London, where women are initiated in
to the secrets of the art. This school
has a membership of 400 women. There
is a similar institution in Berlin. In
my humble opinion it will be only
matter of a few years before such a
school is established in the United
States. Those who say that the art Is
dead know nothing of the amateur
side of the subject. There are 10000
amateur magicians in this country
alone, and the number is constant
ly increasing. There are two month
ly publications devoted wholly to magic
and the literature of the subject IS
growing. Trade has never been bet
ter in magical apparatus than 1t IS
to-day, and, as my book will attest
each year the number of women VINO
take an interest in the subject is on the
increase "

Rome, Dec. 2G.-It is known that
Cardinal Richard has urged the Vatican
to have the works of Able Loisy put
in the Index EX-Purgatorius, fearing
that delay to do so would be inter-
preted as a rejection of his first con-
domination of them. Archbishop Mig
not of Abb made a brilliant defense
of Able Loisy, but it is said failed in
his object.
1t is the belief of unprecedented peo-
pie here that Able Loisy's theories of
Biblical criticism and religious philoso-
phy cannot be repressed. and it has
been ascertained that the Able will

partment announcing the departure of
the gunboat Vicksburg to-day from
Shanghai for Chemulpo, Corea, where
she has been ordered at the instance
of Mr.. Allen, the American minister

recently endangered American life and

ship was thought necessary. AS the
marine guard of the Vicksburg does

Admiral Stirling has been instructed
to send a company of marines from the
Philippines to Chemulpo on board the
transport Zafiro. The marines will go

shows RccOEnitiOE of Japan's Au-
thOrity.
Paris, Dec. 26-It was learned in
authoritative quarters to-day that ia
pan is about to send a large military
force to Corea for the purpose of re-
storing and maintaining order at the
disturbed ports The departure of this
force is imminent. 1t will probably
consist of division of 5000 men.
Japan has been assured that Russia
will not consider the sending of troops
TO Corea to be an unfriendly act or a
casus belli.
1t is anticipated that the departure
of the troops will revive the war ru-
mOrs, which. however. it is pointed out
in authoritative quarters, will be I'M
justified, in view of Russia's acquies-
cence.
During the recent exchanges of COM
municauons between Russia and ia
pan. the former fully recognized the
need of the presence of a strong mill
tary authority in Corea and conceded
that Japan was in the best position to
promptly send troops to the disturbed
points.
The sending of the troops, neverthe-
less, is construed as having an impor-
tant bearing on the present negotia-
tions, as it will be the first conspicu-
Gus evidence of Japans actual eXer-
else of paramount authority over
Corea. 1t is further said in the same
quarters that the preparations for this
expedition were the cause of the recent
great activity at the Japanese arse
nails and dock yards which, it is as
serted. has been enormously ascribed
TO preparations against Russia.
Information has also been received
here that Foreign Minister Lamsdorff
has personally received Japan's reply,
and that in view of it's terms, he is
said to have expressed surprise at the
report of Japan's belligerent attitude.
This it is AIDED is regarded as clearly
showing the amicable spirit in which
the negotiations are proceeding.

In Sonneberg over 1000 women and
girls act as dressmakers and attend
to the robing of the dolls. Some of the
toilets are very elaborate and the pre-
vailing styles must be just as carefully
followed as if the costumes were de-
signed for regning queens of society.
Somebody's toy making supremacy
dates back to the beginning of the sew
enteenth century, and has been main
tanned for nearly 300 years.
Sonneberg citizens are very proud of
the fact that it was in their town that
jointed dolls were first made. Strange
ly enough, it was from far-off China
that the idea first came, and although
these Oriental dolls with the movable
limbs strung together by cords drawn
through the joints were rough and
crude, they were the forerunners of
one of the greatest advances which
the doll trade has ever known. The
new jointed dolls became instantly
popular all over the world and reflect
ed new glory on Sonneberg.
In coloring the faces OF these dolls
white lead, a poisonous paint, was
long employed, until, by legislative ac-
ton, its use was prohibited. Nova
days the innocuous zinc oxide and sim
liar harmless colors are used. The
hair of dolls, after many failures with
other materials, Is now made OF mo-
hair, and the fur Of the Angora goat.
In this manner the toy industry
slowly developed TO its present state.
How numerous are the varieties Of
toys now made may be inferred when
II is considered that the design room
OF "a sonneberg factory contains from
