Pre-Columbian Toys

Toys of the American Indian tribes nover Before exhibited have boen placed on exhibition in the division of ethnology of the United States. National Museum,, says the "World Magazine.”.......... These play- things of the papooses from Alaska to Mexico: reveal that the red men were efficient toy makers. and that their children found delight in the same imitation of their aldors taken into consideration by the modern manufacturers of our

Christmas amusement devices. While Nttle Indian girls; the exhi bib shows, could not hug the talking, walking, and sleeping dolls of our mechanical age they did have plenty of dolls, with miniature teepees Instead of doll houses, and little cradles to carry

on their

backs like the : ones their mother carried them in when they were bables. Among these dolls one of the tiny Eskimo which is a real stuffed wild duck for baby to play with Animal dolls, were evidently very popular among the Indians. An Ingenious Beaver with a tall of leather mark- jed in imitatlow of the blg: fint, tail of the real beaver was made by an Appapaho papa: for his, papooge. Cute Hitle woolly buffales made out of different coloured beads, sre shown Miniatüre elk and targets eut in the shape of buffaloes for little Indian boys to shoot at are also shown.

Cleaning Milk Bottles.

In the City of New York 'about: 1,000,000 milk and cream bottles are distributed everyday.agys "Scientific American." Of those, 20 per cent, do not returns they are broken thrown away or ure n'addi for other purposes. That means that. 800,000 bottles return dully to bo washed. How much do we pay for washing the returned bottlos? fasks "The World Magazine", New A. machine York. Not much. does it and so many bottles are washed in a short time that" the,| charge against any given bottle is very low. One of these machines can handle 2501000 bottles per day? Internal sterilising takes. place at 210 degrees ahrenheit, practically the boiling point of water. There azo, no bros; these would carry contamixtion from bottle to bottle.. When the sterilising has been done, the cooling water is applied to the outside of the bottle only, and not to the inside, which has just been sterilised. Evasi the, carrying cups into which the bottles are inserted ut the beginning are designed in such a manner that water cannot adhere to the lips of the bottles and thus possibly carry over contarnina- tion.
