THIS CHRISTMAS
TO BE DIFFERENT
Santa's Pack Will Contain Most
Wonderful Toys Ever Seen.
IMPORTS OF $20,000,000.
Quantity of Playthingo Received From
Abroad Has Been Rapidly Increas
ing, While Only About $1,000,000
Worth Aro Shipped From America.
Santa Claus has been very busy for
the past year in order that children in
tho United States may have a happy
and a merry Christinas, Never in the
history of tho "little old man with the
red, jovial face" bus he made such
preparations for Christmas.
According to a report from the de
partment of commerce, toys to the val
ue of more than $20,000,000 were Im
ported into the United States during
tho last fiscal year. This is tho Inr
gest yenr's importation of toys on rec
ord. Tho value of the toys is sot by
tho wholesale in tho lands from which
they were sent, which means that the
figure they will sell for In the United
States is fur in excess of ?20,000,000.
In 1S03 the toys brought into this
country were valued nt ?3,000,O00, and
tho Ogure'lias been growing with each
succeeding year until it has reached
the great amount just announced. Tho
total value of dolls imported in tho
.fiscal year 1013 was ,?1,500,000.
Germany is by far the largest source
of supply for toys imported into this
country, the value during the llscal
year being nearly 7,000,000.
Exports of toys from tho United
States amount to less than $1,000,000
a year. Most of those aro sent to
English speaking countries.
Toys will bo no dearer this year than
formerly. With ono exception the tar
iff udtnits them into this country nt
tueir old figure. Dolls dishes mnv be
n Ilttlo bit more expensive.
Santa's Pack Altogether Different.
Young America this year demands
everything up to date In toy line.
No more do girls care nbout tho little
rag doll and the Ilttlo wooden bed in
which to "put it to sleep." This year
young milndy demands doll furniture
mado of mahogany and In old colonial
and Jacobean styles. Also sho wants
a doll house electrically lighted and
fitted up with everything that goes in
a well appointed honse, oven to n front
doormat and an electric doorbell.
And tho boys! No more do they find
pleasure in the old hook and lsdder
and tho drum. Those things take a
back shelf In tho toy store, while moro
modern toys, sncli ns locomotives In
the forms of pnshmohllcs, complete
railroad systems eqnlpped with banjo
signals and blinking electric lights on
tho tall end of tho trains.
Observation cars, refrigerator cars in
which tiny pieces of ice can be put,
dairy cars and giant mogul engines,
with real oil cups on tho driving
wheels, nro to bo found in Santa Claus'
stock this year.
And the girl of nine or ten years,
who is tho recognized boss in every
American household, is tired of her
last year's doll with the flaxen curls,
tho go to sleep eyes nnd the Impassive
face. Tills year, If sho is fortunate,
sho will get a doll' that can hardly
bo told from a real baby.
Theso dolls are mado in Germany,
and before they find their way to tho
counters of tho American toy shops
they go through a lengthy and expen
sive process. To begin with, sculptors
aro employed by the toymakins firms
In Germany to model children. Theso
sculptors go forth into tho city and
country nnd get physically perfect chil
dren to pose for them, noil nnd, Ger
many, Frnnce, Denmark and Sweden
aro ransacked for theso ilttlo models.
It is a hard task to find tho just right
model. Hut occasionally a sculptor
does find one, and then ho models'hls
Ilttlo subject even down to tho dlinplo
in his or her chin, nd goes back to. tho
factory, nnd in a short time models of
real live babies aro being turned out
hy tho thousand.
Theso finished products look so life
like that ono expects them to talk.
Tho coloring on tho faco is perfect, and
the rolls of fat on tho chubby faco aro
not forgotten by tho sculptor.

A NEW LAW IN PHYSICS?
Professor Nipher Thinks It Will Rev
olutionize Power Machinery.
Francis E. Nipher, professor of phys
ics at Washington university, in St,
Louis, discovered what ho says is a
now law In physics, which ho thinks is
likely to- load to great changes In the
principles of construction or power ma
chinery. Tho alleged discovery is that on cm
Incline of from 45 to CO degrees more
power Is required to propel' an object
on tho surface than would be required
to lift It outright Tho explanation! is
that nt on incline between- tho degrees
mentioned the frictlonal resistance
makes tho load heavier than Its dead
Nipher had been lecturing
before the sphomoro engineering class
nnd had been using formulas. After
ward, in looking over tho formulas, ho
says, ho found that while the resist
ance up to -15 degrees and nbovo CO
flegrees is less than tho dead weight
between thoso points it is greater with
the maximum resistance between El
nnd CO degrees.
Ho mado further Inquiries and found
that so far ns ho could discover noth
ing had been known of tho law before.
IIo said ho had not hud time to think
out tho bearings of tho discovery, but
he had no doubt that it would have a
revolutionary effect in tho construction
of machinery built to overcome fric
tlonal resistance.

STALKER AND BRAMAN
Mrs. O. Teeplo has recently gone to
Dlnghamton where she has good em
ployment. Tho entertnlnmont given In tho
church on Thanksgiving ovo was re
ported very good. The numbers on
tho program were all well rendered.
Outside of the school the selections
rendered wero a German solo by
Mrs. Kellar, a recitation by Mrs. G.
Lott, and a solo by Miss Esther
Herllkofer. The interest shown in
the entertainment and social by par
ents and friends deserves mention.
The following Friday the church and
basement were cleaned by a commit
tee consisting of Mrs. Grant Caffrey,
Miss Mary Blum, Mrs. Apollis
Schenck, and Mrs. Preston Teeple
J. P. Blum and Mrs. Lula Maynard
of Wauchula, Fla., were united in
marriage at the Presbyterian manso
at Arcadia, Fla., Tuesday, Nov. 25,
by Rev. It. T. Boll D. D. Mr. Blum
was formerly of tiraman and Mrs.
Blum comes from the state of Wash
ington. They expect to engage ex
tensively In tho citrus growing and
trucking business in the south.
Australian Crawfish.
Tho crawfish, which may bo describ
ed as a fresh water lobster, usually
lives n purely aquatic life and keeps to
the river bed. Some of the crawfish
found in Australia, howevor, have for
saken the water and excavate burrows
In damp soil. The tunnel leading to
the heart of the burrow Is free from'
water, but water is always present in
the chambers at the end where tho
crawfish lives. They do much damage
to artificial water courses in tho min
ing districts by riddling the banks and
dams.
MUTUAL INTERESTS.
No man can stand alone. One
thing ought to be aimed at by all
men that the interest of each in
dividually and of all collectively
should be the same, for if each
should grasp at his individual inter
est all human society would be dis
solved. Cicero.
PECULIAR SIDELIGHTS

Forces Kxcrteil In Secret to Drive

Mexico City, Dec. 6. Peculiar
sidelights on the giant forces which
are being exerted in secret to force
Provisional President Huerta out of
