How many people know that many

simple heathen Of distant lands wor-

try? Religious circles of Philadelphia
were greatly shocked when II became
known that a manufacturer Of the
idols was a respected resident Of that
city and the ministers Of Nhe town
have been raising their voices in pro-
test, decrying the fact that Christian
and enlightened country like this,
which is placing missionaries through
out the heather lands, should also
encourage their idol-worship.
But the American manufacturer
simply views the matter from a busi-
ness standpoint, knowing that these
people will continue TO worship their
wooden and stone gods foI-Tnany years
to come and that if he will not make
them, somebody else will. Those who
oppose the traffic have no legal re-
course. as there is no law at present

The Philadelphia manufacturer is
German 10y birth, coming to this coun-
try two years ago, when he was
toy-maker by trade. lie took up the
manufacture Of idols because friend
Of his, a resident Of India, proved to
him that there was a greater demand
for idols than toys, and that there
was more money in the business also.
Most Of his trade is with India. and
the principal idols he makes are Bud
dbas and Ganeshes. He employs a
stone cutter to design his marble idols,
and girls and women TO paint and dec
orate the wooden ones. The wooden
idols, used by the poorer classes, are
designed by a fine machine which is ten
feet in length. This machine has ten
circular saws, set parallel, a foot
apart. and when making the idols
la SQUARE block Of wood is set before
each Of them. An operator guides
the handle Of the first saw and as
his skillful hand fashions the idol, the
nine other saws make exactly the same
model. In this way one operator can
make ten idols at the same time.
Idols Of an kinds are made by him.
Hideous and expensive idols Of white
marble that cost a pretty penny.
Strange Hindoo Ganeshes with four
arms and an elephants head; curious
Brahmin and Buddhist gods, Others
with cinctures made Of skulls and sew
cred hands. The decorating Of these
is very particular work, as every col
or. every band and every little decora-
ton has a meaning, and If anything
is wrong anywhere the god is worth
ess.
The manufacturer does his business
through two or three agents in DIFF
ferent parts Of the world who supply
him with his models. Many Of the
idols are sold in Corea, where Buddha
is worshiped 10 a great extent. At
/ the COrean temple aIter pray Vd'"
worshiper gives TO the secretariat at
the gate a piece Of money, and re-
ceiyes in return a little god. These
are among the idols he makes. An
other one is the Indian goddess Kali
made from a horrible model with o
black body, the hands red on the in
side. a necklace of human heads and
girdle Of skulls and severed, blood
stained hands. Another Indian god,
called Shiv, has three eyes and a neck
lace Of skulls and serpents. The Jap
arese god, J.so, is a fantastic little
frure whom the women Of that coun-
