WATER TOYS OF THE EAST
Remarkably Ingenious Are PIaythings
Provided for the Children Of
the Orient.

Europe and America turn out, fol
the edification of their children, many
ingenious toys, but the Occidental
youngsters have nothing to compare
with the strange expanding water-toys
with which the children of the far east
have for centuries amused themselves
These are placed in small wooden
boxes similar to the little paint boxes
so often seen in our own country.
They have the appearance OF soiled
shavings, broken matches and dilapf
dated toothpicks, but when thrown
into the water the ingenious toys at
once exhibit properties that show
them to be considerably more than
mere bits of stick. The wood OF these
toys has been Kindred, and imme'
diatel, 1t touches the water 1t begins
to absorb the water and to expand
almost indefinitely. AS 1t increases
in size II separates and suddenly
opens, becoming a very pretty toy.
One stick will change into a flower
pot containing, II may be, rose bush
in full bloom. Another becomes an
obese mandarin carrying an umbrel-
la. Still another will take the form
of sea serpent, very ferocious in its
tiny dimensions. Then, too, there are
toys which show as whales, tigers,
crocodiles, etc. The figures are col
ored and present a bewildering va
riety In design and treatement. Their
manufacture IL a trade secret, kept
inviolate by the guild that turns them
out by the thousands.
For older children there are provid-
ed larger and even more artistic ng-
ures, consisting OF historical charao-
ters-rulers, poets and soldiers-and
dwarfed trees and tiny houses, whose
doors and windows are full of in
mates, are also among this class. The
more ordinary kind cost mere song,
but the finer toys are quite expensive

Herr LebIus that the plaintlf was "a

numerable languages. including North
American Indian dialects and Chimes.
whereas he could not even speak English,
