A RAZOR'S EDGE.
Minute Teeth. Like Those of q Saw.
Make Its keennes.


The edge Of razor consists of In.
Vulnerable points or teeth" which il
the razor Is of good ma terial follow
each other throughout its whole length
with great order and clearness. The
unbroken regularity OF these minute
"teeth" goes to make up the blades
excessive keenness. The edge acts upon
the beard not so much by the direct ap-
plication of weight or force as it does
by slight "seesaw' movement. which
causes the successive teeth" TO act
rapidly on one certain part of the hairy
growth. The best razors. according TO
the microscopists, have the teeth Of
their edges set as regularly as those OF
a perfectly set saw.
This explains the magic effect Of hot
water on the raZor's blade the act Of
dipping it thoroughly cleansing tie
teeth of any greasy or dirty substance
with which they may have beeh
clogged. BARRIERS often claim that ra-
zors get tired of shaving and thi
they will be all right after awhile il
permitted to take Il rest. When in this
tired condition IL microscopic exam
lnation of the edge shows that con
slant stropping by the same person has
caused the teeth or fibers of the edge
to all arrange themselves in one direc.
ton. A month of disuse causes these
fine particles to rearrauge themselves
so that they again present the hetero-
geneous saw toothed edge. After tins
little recreation each PARTICLE of the fine
edge is up and ready To support his
fellow. and it again takes some time
to spoil the grain Of the blade.

The lady paused at the mouth Of the
alley and extended her arm. Something

vobyer. Not a sound was heard from the
man, but from Ninth Street came the
wall of child. The lady paused a mo-
ment, then walked back to Tenth Street,
and disappeared.
some gentlemen who witnessed the
scene made an investigation. The man
had escaped uninjured but the bullet sent
after him had just grazed the footHof a
child of Mr.. Holstead, at No, 703 North
