HOW DOLLS ARE MADE.
An Interesting Process in the Ger
man Factories.

From Leslie's Weekly.
The making of the composition dolls as
seen in the German factories is an inter-
esting process, even though some Of the
rooms are hot, steamy places where one
does not care to stay long at a time. First,
there is the kneading room. where big
mixing trough is set up. and in this all
sorts Of rag-bag material are to be found
--old gloves, rags, bits Of cardboard, etc,
and gum tragacanth. This mixture is
kneaded by hand to the consistency OF a
paste, heated and carried into the mold
room. There 1t is dipped up by women
and poured into patterns which are set
up in rows. The molds are put away
until they are cold enough to handle. when
a workman, by a dexterous movement of
his hands, separates the leaden sides, and
the dolls head is revealed. The polisher
then trims off the ragged seams and sends
the heads to another room. where the
holes for the eyes are cut out. This Is an
extremely delicate task, as all the sockets
must be of uniform size. The work is done
by hand, long, sharp knife being used.
The heads are next painted. waxed or
glazed. depending upon the character Of
the material from which they are made.
The arms, legs and hands are nodded
in the same manner as the heads, a spe-
cial machine being used for stamping out
the hands. These parts are painted in
flesh color, while the heads must have
rosy cheeks. red lips and dark or light
eyebrows. as the color of the eyes used
may require. Putting in the eyes IL a
simple operation. unless the eyes are. to
open and shut. In which case the balanc-
ing of the lead becomes q matter of some
skill. Germany possesses secret formula
for the enamel used on the faces. and the
dainty, natural flesh tint of the better
grade of dolls is the result Of this process.
The making Of the eyes is a dreary task,
for it must be done away from the sun
light and In soJme.partg Of Germany 3hes
6yemakers work insfthe cellars. Il is said
that one town supplies three-foufths OF ali
the dolls eyes used. Violet is the most
difficult color to mix, and few violet
eyed dolls are found. The wig Is the final
touch. and this Is usually made OF real
for blond dolls is the same, except that
the color is extracted.

From the Rocky Mountain Herald.
The hanging nests in the cottonwoods
and other trees in the suburbs Of Den
yer. and all the towns in Colorado from
the eastern slope Of the Rocky noun
tains to Durango and Grand Junction, in
the eastern part OF the state, are the
work OF Bullock or .Bullock's oriole.
Bullock's oriole is q wonderful archi-
tect and shrewd builder. Its nest is
fastened to the smaller swaying branches
or twigs Of trees, generally safe from
those who would rob or destroy eggs or
young. Strings, wood. fiber. horsehair,
leaves, wool and soft materials are used
in Its construction. the rim OF the nest
being so artfully attached to the limb of
the tree that 1t can Withstand almost any
gale that blows. This oriole is not averse
to stealing string and other material from
the nest Of the house finchee, also linnets
and other birds. The nest contains from
three to six eggs, and the young orioles
are truly the rock-a-by babies In the tree

PAESTUM AND CALABRIA.
Interesting Results of Recent Archie

At Paestum the excavations have

called Basilica-and 1t now appears that
this, and not the best preserved and finest
one of them all, must be called the Tenn

cleared for over 100 yards, and remains
of buildings of the imperial period have
been found along its course. including an
angle of the Forum. Here We may hope
that further Investigations will continue
to provide interesting Its.
The official accounts are now available
of excavations carried on by Prof. Orsl
in Calabria in 1910. At Locrl Epizephyrii
a metropolis was explored in which,
owing to the absence of suitable stone
for sarcopbagi, large tiles were used for
the burial of the bodies. Over $50 tombs
were found, placed extremels close to-
gether. and extending over three GEN.
turtles, from about $50 B. c. to about $50
b. c. 1t was not rich, and no vases Of
special note were discovered; but a num-

Temple Of Hera on the Lacinian promon-
tory near Croton was also explored. The
wall Of Enclosure Of the peribOlas was
kound, with fortified entrance to it from
the great road which led to the temple
from Croton, belonging apparently to the
period Of the Roman republic. OF the
temple itself very little is left, except the
one column, which still stands close to
