The people of Katonah do not want to have it thought that New
York city has made them move because they are careless about
their drainage. It is because the city is going to make a new
reservoir where the old village of Katonah now stands. Katonah
has three churches, a public library and reading-room, a village
improvement association, and a graded school, and _was_ proud of
itself.
We hope the new village will be even nicer than the old one. The
trees that were moved are living and doing well.
Yours truly,
ROBERTSON B. (Age 11).
KATONAH, N.Y., March 2d, 1897.
DEAR EDITOR:
I have been reading THE GREAT ROUND WORLD for three or
four months, and like it very much. I am particularly interested
in the Cubans, and hope they will soon gain their freedom.
I have just finished "Little Women," and perhaps the other
little girls and boys have read it, too. I think it is splendid.
I am eleven years old, and this is my first letter, so I hope
you will publish it.
Wishing THE GREAT ROUND WORLD continued success, I am
Yours truly,

DEAR MR. EDITOR:
My teacher subscribes for your paper for children, so that I
learn a great deal. I liked the account about the Nicaragua
Canal very much last week, as I know little about it.
I look every week with pleasure for the coming of THE GREAT
ROUND WORLD, as I am so interested in all the news you give
us. Wishing your paper great success, I am
Your little reader,

INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.
A _new paper doll_ has been invented by a Brooklyn woman.
It is so arranged that the arms and legs are fastened on movable discs,
and Miss Dolly, instead of being the flat, uninteresting thing that most
paper dolls are, can move her arms and legs, and attend tea parties, and
take refreshments, just as any well brought-up stuffed dolly can.
She is to wear a great many beautiful dresses, which will take on and off
easily, and will be a very nice companion for the little women who live in
apartments, and have not much room for their dollies.

_Scissors_ or _shears_.
This is a very useful invention for a boy's tool-box or for mamma's
work-table.
It is a combination affair. In the first place, it looks like an ordinary
pair of scissors. But when you open them to cut anything, you get the
first surprise: one of the blades is marked off in inches, half-inches,
quarters, eighths, and sixteenths.
