One Day in Toyland, From a Doll's Diary Mrs. Algernon Dolly and Her Husband Visit a Strange and Fascinating Country on Their Honeymoon, Meeting Many Curious People and Wild Animals That Aren't Wild at All, but Really Very Kind and Gentle—They Have Many Inter esting Adventures, and Mr. Algernon Dolly Goes Up in a Toy Aeroplane and Has a Bad Tumble Which Sends Him to the Doll Receiving Hospital for Surgical Treatment December 17—The wisest thing I have ever done was. to insist on my newly wed husband bringing me through Toyland for our wedding trip. We have had the most exciting time and seen more marvelous things than either Algernon or I ever dreamed of. At first we were a little uneasy, for we didn't know which part of Toyland to visit, but we shut our eyes and made for the point of entrance. It turned out to be a large forest, covering aisle after aisle of the largest store that any doll can imagine; and right at the gate there was a parade of animals—all the ones that had been standing on the counters all day and were quite tired out. A fierce looking lion seemed to be chasing a camel, but upon in vestigation it turned out that they were the best of friends merely going home together. That is the strange tiling about Toyland— the animals do not fight and one is likely to see the scariest kind of a bear rolling round with domestic creatures, such as hens or ducks. In fact, in this parade there was a rooster who went along to the common home of the beasts and whose duty it was to crow loudly when it was time for the animals to wake up in the morning. An other barnyard specimen was a mild old mooley cow, led by a very pretty doll somewhat larger than either dear Algy or I, and for that reason I admit we were a bit afraid of her. She was dressed in a bewitching costume which quite turned Algy's head till he saw that she wore wooden shoes; that is one thing he cannot abide. I never wear them myself. Half way up a tree was a lovely monkey, big and brown, wag ging his funny head and making faces at a round, red apple he had. When I first saw that monkey I felt awfully excited because right next to him was an enormous green parrot on a perch, shaking his head, too, and making queer noises whenever his head went back. "Now," I thought, "I shall see what a monkey and a parrot time is like at last." I didn't know, I am ashamed to say—hadn't even heard of such a thing till a few days before I was married, when one of Algy's best friends said that he'd wager we were going to have a regular monkey and parrot time of it. He wouldn't say what that meant, but declared we would find out in a short time. To my disappointment, there wasn't anything exciting, and I soon forgot them when Algy called my attention to a huge bear climbing an other tree a little distance away. My, but I was glad he wasn't any nearer! All these animals rolled along on four little rollers, so that Algy and I decided they were skating on roller skates. We wanted to ask the pretty doll who was leading the cow, but we were too timid. Algy lost his timidity all too soon when we emerged from the forest and came to the aviation meet. It was a large field covered with many dolls, and flying overhead were dozens of aeroplanes. All you had to do was to wind a key in one end and the things rose right up from the ground and flew in the air till they became quite un- SUNDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 18, 1910. Toyland Honeymoon "I'm going to jump in after I get it started and you keep on winding till it's all wound up," he yelled in his excitement, and though very greatly afraid to touch the thing, I did as I was told. With a graceful swoop the machine flew into the air and started right across the field. Just as I was beginning to feel assured, I heard a cry from Algy, a creak from the machine, and then — it ter rifies me even to think of it now—that dreadful flying machine turned right upside down, and with an awful crash landed my poor, dear Algy on the ground. I'm afraid I fainted, for the next thing I knew I was surrounded by an excited crowd. Some one told me that Algy had been carried to the dolls' receiving hospital. I followed rapidly. The first sight of the hospital overcame me, and I declared that no husband of mine should stay there for a moment. Small hospital beds were ranged along the wall and all kinds of doll apparatus for nursing—tiny hot water bags, little gas rings on which water could ne heated rapidly and quite the prettiest nurses you ever saw —no, indeed, Algy shouldn't stay there. I made inquiries and found that rooms could be furnished at a moment's notice. The nice thing about Toyland is that one can combine useful and pretty things in the same room. The bed they brought was daintily draped with lavender chintz, a table with the sweetest doll sewing machine I've ever beheld was in the room — and let me say right here that this Christmas is the first year when the manufacturing public has seemed to realize the dreadful neces sity for dolls' sewing machines. The inconveniences I've been put to in the past through not having a machine of my own has been ter

The people can then make their own deduc tions as to what additions they should Insist upon having made for the navy. "Of course, the more spectacular things are hydroaeroplanes, fast ships and sub marines ; but one must not forget meas ures for increasing the efficiency of the enlisted men by the creation of a naval reserve, the development of the naval militia and the creation of the advisory board to aid scientific and inventive ac tivities." * The hydroaeroplane, which differs from the ordinary flying machine in that, by means of pontoons, instead of wheels, it is able rest and to of concentrating their efforts upon the de struction of merchant and passenger ships. The reports indicate that the great number of French and English destroy ers and swift cruisers which patrol these ways, assisted by aeroplanes, drive the submarines away. The latter is not very potential at night, and in the daylight, if the water is clear, its shadow betrays its presence to the keen observer in the aeroplane. His signal by wireless or otherwise calls the destroyers, who hover about the undersea boat, which must then completely submerge for safety. The swift boats follow her course, if possible, and either drive her away or keep her harmless. Apparently bombs from the aeroplane have not been very dangerous to the submarine, which can usually, with her deck guns, put the aeroplane to flight. The Zeppelins have done some good scouting, but very little damage by bomb dropping, except to non-combatants. As a menace they have been a success. safe. Except that It takes days, Instead of hours, to cross the sea, the same principle applies to a foreign invasion of this country. Ships cannot be built, in a few weeks or months. Years are required for a submnrine or a destroyer, and several for a battleship, at least in time of peace. Men canot be trained In a short time. Six months are required to prepare a recruit, and the crew of a battleship cannot be Improvised. It is not claimed that the figures given above are exact, since no navy in the world will allow its latest figures to be made public, but they are as nearly accurate as they can be made and are sufficiently accurate for purposes of comparison. No attempt has been made to draw deductions or inferences; any one who thinks will do it for himself. Efficiency. JULIUS S. MORGAN, grandson of J. I*. Morgan, who spent some time In Paris as a military chauffeur, re lated in New York, among other very interesting experiences, the following story: "The Germans," said young Mr. Mor gan, "are not so wonderfully efficient as they are generally thought to be. Their long and careful preparation for the war gave them a handicap over the allies. We are apt to forget this handicap and put their success down to their efficiency." Mr. Morgan smiled. "When I hear all this efllclenor talk,' he said, "X remember the prisoner. "A prisoner interned in a prisoners' camp in France was being interrogated by an official delegated by a neutral country to report on the treatment of French prisoners of war. To the of ficial's questions the prisoner respond ed in bad English thus: " "Yes, sirrah, I be full comfortable. Eating me ooincs regularly and In sat isfaction. I have not much to work, I am piven to read and In health I am good.

It was not more than a few decade3 hack when the broad term steel differen tiated that metal from iron by reason of tho former containing just sufficient car- hon to raako it capable 'of hardening greatly when suddenly subjected to a cool ing bath. Test books on the subject re vealed how varying percentages of carbon would affect tho degree of hardness, and they further devoted space to tho relativo values of water, oil, &c, as mediums by which tho refrigeration could bo best achieved. To put it mildly, tho practice of steel making, so far as it concerned the physi cal niceties of tho metal, became in prac tice pretty much of a rule of thumb pro cedure, and tho ultimato product was tho consequence of a hit and mis3 perform ance on tho part of. tho furnaceman. In short, tho personal equation cut a con- 75 HAS REVOLUTIONIZED SHOP KRftCTIUfc. poses. The majority of these producers made no claims to niceties of composition, and tho purchasers were content if the metal upon analysis came within liberal approximations of broadly stated speci fications.

These- changes wero wrought gradually beginning about fifty years ago by adding to the carbon and iron of steel varying percentages of alloying elements. Tbeso facts must be borne in mind if wo aro to appreciate just what Prof. Arnold, with his associate, Prof. Fred Ibbotson, has dono recently. Henry D.

Nickel steel saves ' some weight, a matter of importance in bridges, for instance, having great spaus.

Ac cordingly, a machine gun haa been developed for the purpose which is just like any ether such gun except that, in place of a magazine of cartridges, it carries a coil of pho tographic film. This photographic gun is fired ex actly the same way as an ordinary machine gun. It ia fastened to a dummy fusilage on the ground, in which the marksman sits, and every film ia developed the accuracy of his shooting is shown. Targets of the kind described are upheld at a considerable height in the air. Usually there is a row of them, separated by distances of a few feet, and men stationed behind butts manipulate them in such fash ion as to cause them to present themselves at varying anglea to the view of the marksmen. In thia way shooting conditions that imitate those of air-fighting are produced. For practice work with real ma chine guns silhouette targets are used sheets of pasteboard bearing pictures of airplanes, or sometimes paper sheets with similar pictures that are tacked upon boards. These are cheap, and when one has been shot to nieces it is replaced with a "32 i 2 0 7,8 ilia wS V I tri i ; h ? 17 , The target closely reaembl
