Washington, ID. G, June This is
the story Of Isabel Belaunsaran MAX
cr of the smallest dolls in the world.
who is the quaintest figure in MeXico's
quantest town, Cuernavaea, as told by
Russell Hastings Millward in a COM
munication To the National Geographic
Society, i'm Washington ID. c.
This little girl is called Queen Of
the Needle" writes Millward The
natives of the village will tell you that
no cleverer Mexican Indian maiden has
ever been known. The diminutive
dolls she makes. both in point of con-
struction and design, are the most re-
markable i'm the world.
"The operation of making consists in
forming a tiny framework of wire
barely three -fourths of an inch in
length and winding the same with
many turns of silk thread. After the
frame has been properly formed it is
ready for dressing. The clothing is cut
according to the character of the doll
and fitted carefully about the small
figure. The most difficult work, that of
embroidering, is then begun. With Il
needle that can scarely he held i'm the
fingers and the finest Of silk threads,
various designs are actually embroid-
cred on the clothing, and so cleverly
| is the work executed that even through
a powerful magnifying glass the de-
tails of the design appear to be per-
| feet, After dressing the figures it IS
necessary to add the hair, and what is
undoubtedly an example of the tiniest
| and most marvellous hair dressing
known is then performed on each doll.
Even to the details of the braids and
ribbons the work is completely carried
out. The eyes. nose, mouth hands
and feet are then formed and the doll
is ready to be placed on sale in the
| village shop.
"On account of their daintiness, eX-
ouisitc coloring. design and workman
ship these dolls find at all times a
ready sale at the ridiculously low price
of - cents each. But two hours are
required to make each doll, so it can
readily be imagined just how rapidly
the work must be done, although the
/ finished product shows no signs other
/ than those of artistic skill and extreme
4 natience. BY working steadily for 10
i hours the sum of $125 may be earned.
4 So constantly has this little maiden
u usod her eyes that she is beginning 20
i lose her eyesight.
Miniature roses are embroidered on
il the dresses and hung about the shoul-
ders of the dancng-girl dolls. Orna-
,ents are arranged i'm the hair and the
i ,irv limbs are formed in graceful and
4 lurolilke attitudes of dancing. The cos
4 ,,r,o or the matador doll is gaily en-
broidered in colors and its hair dressed
ir snanish style, including the conven-
to,,I enc. The flower-girl dolls are
! nrovided with small baskets woven of
ero hair filed with flowers of varie-
gated colors. It is difficult to believe
,,ot human hands could have fashion
"a srch wonderful little figures. The
o., doIIs of this kind made by Isabel

GERMAN WARSHIPS
SEARCH FOR BRITISH
FLEET IN PACIFIC
Leipsig and Dresden, Coal
ing at Valparaiso, Deny
They Took Part in Battle
Off Chilian Coast.
VALPARAtso. Nov. d.

Officers Of the German cruisers Leipzig
and Dresden. which put into this port for
supplies and provisions today, insisted
that their ships were not in action against
tc hBrtlsh squadron OF Admiral Cra-
dock off Coronel the first OF this month.
This would mean that the British and
German squadrons were equal at least in
numbers,
There is possibility, however, that the
Germans may have outnumbered the Brit
ish by one warship, as the Bremen Is
reported from British sources to have
been engaged. The other German vessels
were the scharnhorst. Gneisenau and
NurnbcrE. Opposed to them were the
British warships Good Hope, Monmouth
and Glasgow. The Good Hope and Mon
mouth were sent to the bottom.
Appearance Of the German cruisers In
the harbor here tends to confirm the
statements of their officers. as they bear
no marks Of battle Both. OF course. are
stripped for action hut there are no In
dcatlons of either having been recently
under fire.
The Dresden and Leipzig will sail from
Valparaiso today, waiting outside the
harbor for them are three more German
cruisers and two transport supply ships
The fact that only five warships are ac-
counted for In the arrival of the German
squadron here increases the mystery as
to the cruiser Bremen The vessels off
the port are believed to be the Scharn-
horst Gneisenau and Nurnberg.
Officers Of the Leipzig and Dresden were
seeking to learn the whereabouts of the
British warships still in the Pacific.
They obtained no information here. so
far as Is known.
1t is generally believed here today that
various reports which have been received
of the Japanese fleet being in these
waters have been due to the presence Of
the German squadron, which was mis-.
taken for the Japanese.

LONDON, Nov. a..

LONDON Nov. IA.
The Times today says that the cheer
full tone of the war insurance market was
fully maintained yesterday and was sup
ported by the rumor freely discussed
among shipping firms that the German
cruiser Karlsruhe at last had been cor
nered
The Standard report follows:
There is every reason to believe that
two submarines which had been raiding
in the channel have been satisfactorily
accounted for. According to informa-
tion from credible naval sources, one of
these submarines had been carrying out
a series of daring "Reminiscences in the
vicinity of Dover. and a patrolling cruis-
er reported attempts to torpedo her.
"The patrol 1otllas from Dover search
ed for the submarine and naval men had
reason to believe that the vessel was saw
ing her power by remaining on the sea
bed for long periods. 4 keen watch was
kept. one calm day bubbles were seen
rising at a certain point Vessels dredged
over this area in similar manner to
mine sweeping, but using powerful
chain with explosives attached The
chain was dragged at a depth that would
catch the submarine If lying there,
"After patroling several times over
tho area there was a heavy explosion, fol-
lowed shortly by large quantities of oil
rising to the surface. Those who took
part In the operation have no doubt that
a German submarine was blown up
The second case concerned German
submarine which had been particularly
troublesome to ships OF the Dover fotilla
that had been engaged in the lombard
mcnt of the Belgian coast. Seamen say
that she was trapped into believing her
self safe in case of an attack and then
was heavily shelled and sunk"
