WAFER TOYS OF THE EAST
Remarkably Ingenious Are PlaythIngs
Provided for the Children Of
the Orient.

Europe and America turn out, for
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 dilapi.
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 kiln-dried, and imme-
diatel, 1t touches the water 1t begins
to absorb the water and to expand
almost indefinitely. AS 1t increases
In size 1t separates and suddenly
opens, becoming a very pretty toy.
One stick will change into a flower
pot containing, 1t may be, a rose bush
In full bloom. Another becomes an
oDese 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
pred and present a bewildering va
riety in design and treatement. Their
manufacture is 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 fig
ures, consisting Of historical charac.
ters-rulers, poets and soIdiers-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 a mere song,
but the finer toys are quite expensive.

The Hypocrite,

Rev. George R. Lunn, the new mayor
of Schenectady, says: 81 don't preach
Give to the poor but Stop taking
from the poor"
Mr.. Lunn, discussing this dictum
the other day, said to the Albany Jour
nal man:
THE millionaire social reformer,
unless he is a very sincere man, al
ways reminds me of the husband who
brought home one evening a bottle OF
champagne and lobster.
1T is your birthday, DEAR he said
to his wife, and purchased these
delicacies as a little treat for you this
evening with your birthday dinner
"'You are very kind the woman
answered, but thought you knew l
never touch champagne, love, while
lobster invariably disagrees with me-
Never mind, my dear, never mind,
the husband answered. That being
the case, I'll just eat the lobster my.
self and drink the champagne to your
health"

NOT EASY TO SEE ICEBERGS
Deadly Menaces to Navigation Said to
Be Almost Invisible at
Night.

Among laymen there is genuine sur
prise that on clear night-dark
though 1t was-a great ship could plow
into the heart Of an iceberg before
discovering its presence. To the nau-
teal mind 1t is entirely plausible.
At about twenty-five knots of speed,
he Titanic was covered nearly a stat
ute mile and one third every three
minutes, and it takes time for a ship
300 feet in length and drawing nearly
forty feet of water to Swing" on its
course line. 1t takes time to stop So
200 tons Of. dead weight when moving
at that rate of speed.
In daytime, even, unless the sun is
shining brightly against its sides, a
berg is not the glaring sheetlike thing
that many seem to think 1t is. On a
cloudy day they show distinctly gray
and dark, while on a moonless, cloudy
night they only, at the best, will show
as blackness, more pronounced, against
that other blackened screen where
murky cloud and murky waters meet.
The newest, whitest, snowiest sails
that ever drove a racing yacht to VIC
tory show as black as blacklist night
against somber midnight sky. In
other words, they are invisible short
way off, as was the berg whose Jagged
and submerged extensions tore the
