Water Toys of the East.

U UROPE and America turn out for
u their children many ingenious
toys, but they do not compare in in
genuity with the strange expanding
water toys with which the children of
the far east have amused themselves
for centuries.
These curious toys are placed in small
wooden boxes, similar to the little
paint boxes often seen in our own coun-
try They have the appearance of soil
ed shayings. broken matches and d.
lapidated toothpicks. but when thrown
into the water the ingenious playthings
at once exhibit properties that show
them to be more than mere toys or
bits of stick.
The wood of these toys has been
kiln dried. and Immediately it touches
the water it begins to absorb the water
and to expand almost indefinitely. AS
it increases in size it separates and
suddenly opens, becoming a very pref
ty toy. One stick will change into a
flower pot, containing a rose bush in
full bloom. Another becomes fat
mandarin carrying an umbrella. Still
another will take the form Of sea
serpent. very ferocious in its tiny di-
mensions. Then. too, there are toys
which show as whales, tigers, croco-
diles, etc. The figures are colored, and
