that the French Government is very jealous lest
spies should their submarines at work and CLEAN

mysterious engines of destruction is looked upon

of peasants manufacture only the peculiar house
boats which boxes to contain the toy beasts
while other households restrict their production to
very small range of geological species, turning
out, it may be, only elephants and hppopotami, or
and cames. From father to son, for hundreds
of years, the models have been transmitted, and
the pigs and rhnoceroses of to-day's output
exactly like those which the children of medieval
Germany loved and played with.
The animals manufactured by method most
economical of labor, the initial process consisting
in saving out block of wood foot or more in
length and in section of just about the dimen
sionS of the beast to be represented. A few appl-
cations of gouge reduce the block to such shape
that when looks at it endwise it has the general
form, let us say, of a COW. 1t is then cut into
series of Slices each of the proper proportional thick
ness and is thus converted into twenty-five or
thirty rough hewn COWS, which require only to be
touched up with carving tool painted, and
nished, in order to be ready for market.
Some Cheap Noah's Arks
TT will easily be understood that when an entire
family, including the small children, devote
their combined labor to the manufacture of Noahs
Ark animals under economic conditions which have
relation to an extremely low scale of wages, the
women commonly earning about twenty cents
day, and the men net than twice that sum,
the cost of production must be extremely low In
deed can buy ark of Sonneberg make in
this country, containing twelve assorted animals,
for little five cents; and the price paid to the
humble manufacturer for such article IS only
about cent and half.
In the vicinity of Sonneberg produced inn
numbers of tiny wooden dolls, carved by
hand, which sold by the peasants, who make
them, for less than half cent piece. Rather curl
it is, by the way, to find that villages in that
region appear to restrict their output to certain
kinds of toys, manufacturing nothing else for gen.

Practically the entire worlds supply of these tiny

that the first Napoleon was accustomed to employ
such toys in the arrangement of his battle plans.
