The Tooth.

No carpenters chisel can do more eff
fective work than is turned out with
ease and neatness by the beavers
tooth. This is the principal tool with
which these patient. clever builders
construct their dams. The outer sur
face of the tooth is a scale of very
hard enamel, while the body of it is Of
softer dentine. As the softer sub
stance ear away in use the end Of
the tooth takes a chisel-like bevel, leav-
ing a thin, slightly projecting edge Of
hard enamel as sharp IS any carpen-
ter's tool fresh from the oilstone. The
thin scale Of enamel gives keenness,
the softer dentine supplies strength,
and thus the combination forms a for
midable tool, which actually sharpens
itself by No.

North and South Korea.

In the northern part Korea is COW

which gradually sink to a well marked
lowland. The principal mountains,
however, occur on the side of the sea
Of Japan. The rocks of the country are
chiefly old Observation-Disclosures and

the peninsula is along the depression
Of Chyukkaryong. South Of this line

MAN FROM MEXICO"
pLEASES BIG HOUSE

"The Man From Mexico" the Sec
ond offering Of the clever Samuels
company to the Las Vegas public,
drew better house last night than
did the Deserted Bride" the evening
previous. The Man From Mexico"
is jolly roaring farce comedy, re-
plete with bright sayings and abound
ing In indescribably ridiculous situa-
tions. As was TO be expected the
piece was elegantly staged and bril-
liantly interpreted. II may be said
right here without any fear Of sue
cessful contradiction, that the
scenery nsed BY the company h the
hest ever s<en at the Duncan. The
es~sins re9rptton room scene was gor-
geo'isly staged and the electrical ef-
fects were most effective.
The appreciative audience was sur
prised and pleased with the smooth
and mastery work Of Harry John
son "The Man From Mexico" who. ID
his minor part Of the evening previous
gave little evidence Of his ability.
Miss Julian as Mrs. Fitxhew. was
thoroughly pleasing. though her Eart
was not one which required her to
draw largely on her histrionic powers.
Mr.. Maddox as Col. Majors ana Mr..
Orr as the freni1ed Dutchman, won
deserved recognition. Mr.. Majors
again made q hit with, his specialties-
The support given throughout the
play was. despite one or two ragged
exceptions. excellent. The c0stuming

cial note. The company has In Miss
Pearl Orr dancer Of exceptional
skill as the audience Of the first night
realized. The efforts Of this young
lady with the talented pedal extremI-
ties to emulate the gifts Of Melpo-

pany may look with confidence for q
