In the past six or eight years French

really emeralds is a matter Of dispute,
but this gem, owing TO its regular
shape, which is commonly a six-sided
prism-and its beautiful tint that

formed part OF the regalia OF princes

BREATHING THROUGH THE MOUTH
Few people realize what an impOr-

tiles with smooth walls through which
the air passes in and out, as i would
through a rubber tube. They are d.
vided into several compartments by
bony projections covered with mucous
membrane. and the volume Of air ~
entering is broken up into several
streams. 50 that am Of It comes In con-
