AN ODD but interesting hobby
IA is ridden hard by Rus
v sell Snyder. "a 40-ycar-
old life insurance agent of Mil
burn, New Jersey who has spent
the last three years making an
exact model OF his home town.
The Job is one-fourth completed.
The photographs on this page
show how Mr.. Snydcr's model
town stacks up beside the real
thing.
With the help Of his wife, Flor
cnce, and his 15-ycar-old daugh-
ter, Dorothy, Snyder has laid out
his miniature Mllburn on an s
by 16 foot platform in the base
ment of his home. AS a close
study Of these pictures shows.
the Snyders have duplicated
every little detail in order to
make their miniature copy au-
thentic in every respect.
To operate the trains that run
i'm and out of his model MillbHrRT
Snyder has a specially built cleo
trical control board which also
takes care of the lighting sys-
tenn Of the little town. A built-in
record player provides sound eff
fccts such as religious music
when the lights go on inside the
church,
Snyder and his family had to
use every conceivable type Of
material--and a lot of ingenuity
in order to make their exact
ing replica. Such things as bam-
boo slivcrs for window pane pan
els I'D pieces of silk stockings
for curtains were only hit upon
after long experiments with a
variety of other things.
The main pieces are built out
Of a combination Of pressed wood,
cardboard, balsa wood, model
building paper, plywood and
glass. Model-airplane cement and
gummed paper hold the whole
thing together. Every detail,
from a water.propelled grist mill
to merchandise in the store win
dows, has been included.
At their present rate of prog
ress, it will take the Snyders

the original he used hundreds OF
photographs and sketches so that
every detail would be compare
tivcly accurate in proportion and
color.
Everybody who looks down on
Mr.. Snyder's miniature commit
nifty gets the exciting sensation
Of being a giant in seven league
boots, or of riding in a plane over
the roofs OF Millburn. Although
the town is laid out more TrtCt-
ligenuy than many a municipal
ity, some Of it's citizens when
they study the model see ways
in which they think minor i'm
pruvements could be made.
The New Jersey mans neigh.
bors are as proud of his enter
prise as he is and have brought
hundreds Of "out Of towncrs" 10

Perhaps bufo gets away with his
size and strength of hind legs, as
well as the tough rhinoceroslike
hide. His companions seem to
treat him with respect, and only
once IN while small toads get
familiar with the giant Of the pond
and rest upon his back. There is
no way OF finding out his reactions.
The more you look bufo in the eye,
the more you are. impressed by the
benign expression. So far, there has
not been complaint lodged against
this toad Of the West. All one can
hope for is his continued prosperity.
American toads are in the ponds
from April until July. The males
do the singing. Some Of them rem
der their solos both morning and
night. The eggs are laid in strange
curling masses which soon become
tangled up with aquatic plants.
They are arranged in single row in
transparent jelly mass. Their
number is incredibly high-four to
twelve thousand. Where the water
is warm. development Is rapid.
Later in the season, baby toads
fairly swarm from their birthplace.

ARIZONA TOAD
fBufo alpdrius)

This handsome toad cannot pos
sibly be confused with any other.
This makes identification quite easy
and interesting. But what makes 1t
so different?
1t is green and smooth. and, not
content with being so different from
all its relatives, 1t is the largest of
all North American species. Should
you desire further distinctions, there
are conspicuous glands on the legs.
weird white warts at the angle OF
the jaw. and curving crests on the
head.
Reports have come in that this
handsome toad has been seen In
Southern California and around
Phoenix, Ariz.
You will find that this toad's ear
is unusually conspicuous and is
placed back OF the eye, being sur
rounded by prominent ridge. The
large eyes are beautiful and most
kindly in their expression. The
iris is unusual in having It's me-
tallic yellow thickly set with a fine
tracery of brilliant red veins, and
there are two elevations In the gold
Of the iris. The eyelid is smooth.
The oval nostrils are large, OPEN
ing upward and backward. The up-
per jaw projects well beyond the
lower one and gives . pugnacious
expression to the solemn face OF
bufo.
When captured, this toad seems
to be seized with a nervous twitch-
ing. His body vibrates n over. His
attitude is one Of righteous indigna-
ton. His appearance causes one to
feel that an explosion is due at any
moment. But 1t IL merely a bluff
