in constructing a miniature log cabin, certain of the semi-cylindrical logs are placed on the ground or floor or other supporting surface so asjtoform the bottom of the side wallsap A cylindrical .l'og "8 ;isQclisposed across therear'end portion of the semi-cylindrical logs 9 with the ,jgroovesl l having interfitting engagement with the grooves 15.

While I have ,s howii' the a building logs as being .utilized in; the construction of ,a log cabin, itis to. vbe understood. that the logs may :be e uali fas well used. in the. building preferably consists of fifty-six pieces that are put up in a box and packed compactly so as not to occupy much space and a child or grown person will find this building toy instructive and fascinating. By constructing the interfitting portions of the logs in the manner as shown and described, it is not necessary to place the logs in any particular manner in assembling the parts for the formation of a particular building structure so that any child can use the building toy without-following any complicated instructions orrequiring the use parts. v
A building toy of this character may be manufactured and sold at a very. low cost and due to its simplicity, the parts can be readilyand easily assembled or disassembled.
While I have shown'the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that minor changes in the size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention'or the scope of the appended claims.
'What I claim is: I
1. toy building comprising a plurality of imitation logs formed with annular grooves adjacent their ends adapted to be assembled in superposedrelation with each other to form a predetermined structure, in-
of tools to assemble the tersecting logs between the adjacent ones of thesuperposed logs, said superposed logs having interfitting' engagement with the in 'tersecting logs as and for the purpose described. H
2. In a toy building,"a plurality of cylindrical imitation logs of different sizes, each being formed with an annular groove adjacent'their ends, and semi-cylindrical logs of different sizes having semi-annular grooves formed therein for interfitting engagement ofchairs, benches; fences, kennels, bridges, I
forts-and other structures. This building toy
