tan children of the next generation,
unless it be flying machines, is a
Christmas problem which seems TO
have reached nearly the limit. From
the simple home maze toys which de-
lighted the child of thirty or forty
years ago on Christmas morning, the
question which most vexes the mod
ern Kris Kringle is that of finding
something new for New York young
sters. The results. as indicated by the
modern toys now to be seen in the
city, have been astonishing. There is
the toy cow which can actually be

to say nothing of he doll baby which

its human prototype. There is also a
mechanical hen with real feathers
that lays real eggs-or china ones if
this is deemed safer and cackles like
her barnyard sister There is the ele-
which curls its trunk. trnmpets and

nothing of many other animals. In

system But on top of the fact that
the subway has already reached the

that the city has not so much to

side to the question which may be
summed up in the statement borne
out by the figures, that in antiquated
street car service New York leads the
whole country.
Manhattan Borough alone has more
old fashioned horse cars than all the
rest Of the United States together,
even counting the mule cars in the
south. The miles of horse car lines
