A Swiss Watchmakef In Indiana Sends His Novelties All
 Over the World.

Indianapolis News. M
 A man who lives n vincennes. Ind. owns 6,0e4 patents. ali designed by him. self He designs articles that are being He is designer of novelties and jewelry in metal. and on these patents he has in- vented eighty-flve different finishes. He has designed 5000 different styles of belt buckles alone.
 This man is Frank schanlxer. . hlue- eyed, flaxen-haired Swiss. whose fngenui- ty has made the vincennes novelty works known all over America and England. France. Germany and Canada.
 It Is related that recently citizen of vincennes entered 1a shop in Berlin to buy some souvenirs. He nnado his selec- tion and commented on them. s'oh. yes 7 said the shopkeeper. "there Is only one place in the world where they are made That is little town called vincennes, in America"
 The traveller paid for his purchases without informing the shopkeeper that he was director in the company that manufactured them.
 Among the articles made in this fac. tory are buckles of all descriptions. sir. dies, bracelets, hairpins. hair ornaments chatelaines, bor,bon boxes. biotters. pa. per knives. bookmarks. baskets, toilet ar ticles. etc.
 This is the only factory in the United States that does Oriental and Russian enameiing. Nearly all the fancy articles sold at summer resorts as imported Per sian, Syrian. or Turkish goods are. In reality. made here in vincennes At the present time the factory Is engaged in turning out fancy articles of all sorts to be sold at the Worlds Fair in St. Louis.
 Frank Schanker. the genius whose mind invents all these fancy ''gimcracxs," is . native of Switzerland, and is an expert machinist and watchmaker. He worked at watch making for thirteen years in his native country and then went to Boston, Mass, where he worked at die making. Charles Graterson was in Boston at that time and struck up an acquaintance with Schanker, whom he persuaded to move to this city. and together they went into the business of making novelties.
 This partnership gave way in time to a company that has ofiices in New York; San Francisco and Toronto. and whose goods go all over the world. At the pres erit time MT. 5chaniker cuts all of his dies by hand, but he Is working on . machine to cut the dies that will enable the com pany to turn out more patterns than 1t is now doing.

Houses Knocked Down.
 A big business is being done here now in school houses, hunting lodges and small frame dwellings. There are enormous mills just outside Stockholm which make nothing else. They have designs after which houses are made to order. They are shipped away in pieces, knocked down, to Africa, South America, Australia and England. This trade is increasing. and am told the exporters expect to do big business in such if we begin work on the Panama canal. When that canal was first started the laborers were fur nished houses from Maine The Swedes claim that they can put a better and cheaper house than the Americans. and they expect to bD a competitor for the business of Panama.

The roads are well built and the scenery along them reminds one of the lumber regions of the United States. Many of the roads are through great woods filled with ferns The ground is carpeted with ferns, and the silver trunks of the birch trees rise out of beds of emerald green. There are many rocks of all shapes. The air is moist and the moss grows in the crevjces of the rocks; here it is green; there silver gray, and in other places almost sky blue.

Wall Paper Psychology.

White dining and drawing rooms. which have been so popular during tn last few years. are fast losing favor. Women have discovered that pure white Is not at all restful to the eyes, and voluntarily visi- tors in a country house drift out of the pretty white room to one painted or pa- pered in some other tint. This does not apply to a white paper only, but to a room in which all the walls are. white.
 For instance, very old house, with oak flooring, oak doors. and beams across the ceiling. lends itself perfectly to a white or very pale paper and yet keeps homely and comfortable aspect. Sensi- tive women often dislike or feel uncom- fortable in a room. and cannot explain tn ereason. It is a psychological one for certain colors have distinct effecI on the nerves.
