NOT EASY TO SEE IcEBERGS
Deadly Menaoes to Navigation Said to
Be Almost Invisible at
Night.

Among laymen there is genuine sur
though 1t was-a great ship could plow
into the heart of an iceberg before
discovering its presence. To the nau-

At about twenty-five knots Of speed,
the Titanic was covered nearly stat

that other blackened screen where

The newest, whitest, snowiest sails

WATER TOYS OF THE. EAST
Remarkably Ingenious Are Playthlnss
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
40 often seen in our own country.
They have the appearance Of soiled
vhavings, broken matches and diiapi-
dated toothpicks. but when thrown
into the water the ingenious toys at
once exhibit properties that show
them to be considerably moro than
mere bitf Of stick. The wood Of these
TOYS has been Kindred. and imne-
diatel, It touches the water It begins
to absorb the water and to expand
almost indefinitely. Az It increases
In size 1t separates and suddenly
opens, becoming a very pretty toy.
One stick will change into flower
pot containing, It may be, a rose bush
In full bloom. Another becomes an
obese mandarin carrying an umbrel-
Ia. Still another will take the form
Of sea serpent, very ferocious in It's
tiny dimensions. Then, too, there are
toys which show as whales, tigers,
crocodiles, etc. The figures are col
ored and present bewildering va
riety in design and treatement. Their
manufacture is a trade secret, kept
inviolate by the guild that turns them
out by the thousands.
For older children there are provid-
cd larger and even more artistic fig
ures, consisting Of historical charac.
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
