Did you ever stop to consider the fact that

we that voUr propOs ition IS a tenable hypOth-
esisz' Ia answer would say two proofs at
least, and perhaps more: FIRST, the three
metals mentioned are the heaviest known
substances, compared bulk for bulk this

the earth was thin, very thin. all the gold

second reason for believing that our globe has
a golden center core woven around nucleus
OF iridium and platinum. A third reason for
believing that there is gold at the center is
this: The earth, as a whole. wei chs five times
as much as globe OF water the sane bulk,
while the rocks forming the same outer crust
are less than three times as heavy as water
The eternal fitness of things is never lost
sight Of by Parisians. Even their shop signs
are carefully adapted to the character OF the
wares they advertise. Every place where
things are sold. from the largest to the
smallest, has its designation. Some OF the
names g pretty some odd and grotesque;
some have inwardnesS OF meaning that has
to be sought after perhaps but when found
its application is unfailingly good. Probably
the most familiar illustration is the great
establishment known to all the civilized
world as "Au Bon Marc he" Ibis does not
