The boy who is fond of water TO:
will find much interest in a new pat
tleship which may be steered from the
shore. There is a small electro-mag'
net on the vessel by which 1t is made
TO turn either to the right or the LETT
at the will of the operator, who
presses a little button on the button
board on shore. This is connected
with the ship by wire. Another attrac'
tive naval toy Is the new game known
as "barbette." In this game there are
two full-fledged fleets. One or these
Is supposed to represent the enemy
The object OF the player is 10 maneu'
yer his fleet so as TO sink the enemy
AS he has to consider the elements OF
speed, steam radius, gun power and
weight, il will be seen that this game
tends 10 develop tactical ability III the
embryo naval officer.
There Is a wider variety OF toy
stereopticans, moving picture ma
chimes. and other optical toys TINS
year than ever before. The perfec
ton OF the microscope, by which the
images of postcards and other Illus
trations are thrown upon screen
finds its duplicate in the toy world
Some OF these toy microscopes are
strong enough for more serious WORK
than that TO which the average child
puts them Even the field glass, the
opera glass and the telescope are
found reproduced on the toy counter
Some OF these are of such strength as
70 be valuable in the everyday life OF
the child.
There are many kinds OF toys which
tell Of the vogue OF the CNnticleer fad
One OF these is a little mechanical
hen pheasant She runs around the
room much to the delight of the child
and every once in awhile goes TO her
nest and lays a pretty little white
China egg. There are also chanti
cleer roosters and chanticleer guineas.
1t is thought by many that the Ger
man and French toy makers were a
BIZ disappointed in the demand for
chanticleer toys.
Pool playing Is no longer reserved
as a game for grownups. There are
The Detroit times., 1910-12-23

pool tables 10 be found in many toy
stores on which the children may be-
come experts with the billiard ball and
cue Some OF these tables are SO well
made that many q boy who receives
one will find II .monopolized by the
older members OF his family. There is
also toy camera which promises TO
produce many an ambitious amateur
photographer These cameras are
made 20 sell as low as twenty-five
cents each. This price includes three
plates and sufficient developing mate
rial 10 make the pictures. Additional
packages OF plates and developing ma
terial may be purchased at any time.
Among the limitations OF real things
that will captivate the small boy Is an
imitation OF a half-smoked cigarette.
It is made so real-looking that boy
with one in his mouth may give his
mother or his school teacher severe
shock before she realizes the joke. An
imitation cigar sends little stream OF
water into the eyes OF the boy who
tries TO examine II too closely. Many
similar tricks of this kind have been
brought out. but usually Santa Claus
does not carry them. The boys them
selves buy them before Christmas.
The Japanese have brought out one
Of the most remarkable toys OF the
season. Ii is a diving-boy who does
most unusual stunts. When n little
capsule is given to him he swallows II
and If he is placed in a bath-tub full
Of water. he begins to dive and per
form other wonderful aquatic feats,
and will keep this up for a full hour
when another capsule will so comfort
his weary little body that he is able
10 repeat the whole performance.
Toy-makers everywhere believe
that while there has been remarkable
progress in their business during the
past decade, there will be much great
or progress in the future. The spread
Of the kindergarten idea throughout
tne civilized world has tended 70 make
the toy an invaluable adjunct in. child
training and education. This demands
a high quality Of toys, and nothing is
more gratifying TO the heart OF the
toy maker than to see an Improvement
in the character and value OF the toys
demanded by the public.

goat bank is another conceit or this
nature. The child places his coin on
a stump and the billy-goat comes alonG
and butts il into a hollow place in the
stump. Another bank has a donkey
and a rider When the coin is placed
in position. the donkey gives a first
class imitation of bucking bronco
and the rider is thrown face foremost
to the ground. His head bumps the
coin and it passes into the bank.
The idea OF the commercial institu

resentation in the toys OF the day
There is a toy restaurant, operate
on the penny-in-the-slot principle, and
the guests OF the restaurant may buy
their lunches with tin money. A fully
equipped kitchen where pumpkin pies
may be baked or Boston beans cooked
on an electric stove may be bought
at a price that is not prohibitive.
There are also pie plates shaped so
that any one OF the animals which
went into Noahs ark may be repro
duced in mud.
For the boy who is fond of military
toys and trappings there is wide
variety to choose from. One is a can.
non which shoots little hollow gum
balls. These are so light as to be per
fectly harmless. A large net is set
up on the rife range so that when ac-
curately aimed there is no danger OF
stray shots striking other members
of the household. A number of sol
diers stand up before the net, and the
youthful marksman Is afforded album

of accuracy in sighting his cannon.
