error to trace the custom back TO the
Greeks, who called all ships by femi-

the sailor assigns no such reasons.

This quality has been known for cen
turies and still there are many who do
not know it. That is the reason often
that CLEANS of light are seen issuing

is the one that is the best cut. If there
is phosphorus in the stone it is greatly
enhanced by proper cutting, so that
