Many people are living among luz.

instantly spend it in some personal OF

As it is now, everything is made hard
for them. They are expected to compete

five times their own. They are asked to

Why is 1t that one man is old and
decrepid at As, and another hale and

The White Whales Tsil.

Looking at the white whale at the
aquarium a person not familiar with
water animals might be mildly aston
ished to see that creature lean outward
when swimming around in q circle,
instead Of inward. Seeking the cause Of
this, the observer unfamiliar with
whales would discover that the whale
tail is set not in vertical plane as is
the case Of fishes, but in o horizontal
plane.
Set horizontally instead of vertically,
the whales tail is Of the very greatest
assistance to it in diving, and especially
in rising promptly to the surface, which
it is necessary for it to do at intervals
to fill its lungs with air.
Going over again to the wall tanks,
the observer may note again, and this
time with a new interest, that all the
fishes there have tails up and down, in
line with the body, in vertical plane,
and he learns upon inquiry that all
fishes have tails in a vertical plane, and
that all aquatic mammals, of which the
whale is one, have tails set exactly the
other way. in o horizontal plane.-New

Curious Freaks Of Rsxors,

The finest grades of razors are so del.
icate that even the famous Damascus
sword blades cannot equal them in tex
ture. It is not generally known that the
grain Of q Swedish razor is so sensitive
that its general direction is changed
after a short service.
When you buy a fine razor, the grains
run from the upper end of the outer
point in diagonal direction toward the
handle. Constant stropping will twist
the steel until the grain appears to be
straight up and down. Subsequent use
will drag the grain outward from the
edge, SO that after steady use for several
months the fiber Of the steel occupies q
position exactly the reverse of that
which it did on the day Of purchase.
The process also affects the temper Of
the blade, and when the grain sets from
the lower outer points toward the back
you have o razor which cannot be kept
in condition even by the most conscien-
tious barber.
But here's another curious freak that
will take place in the same tool:
II you leave the razor alone for q
month or two and take it up, yon will
find that the grain has assumed its first
position. The operation can be repeated
until the steel is worn through to the
back.-Strand Magazine.
