CROWN OF A TOOTH.
1t Is Composed of the Hardest

1t Is Composed of the Hnrdcst
Known Organic Substance.
The crown of n human tooth is COW
cred by brilliant white cap of ex-
IRENE density. the enamel. which is
not only the hardest tissue of the hu-
man body. consisting, rs 1t does. of 800
per cent OF mineral and of So per cent
of animal matter, but also the hardest
known organic substance.
The whole of the friction entaiied by
the mastication of food falls upon the
cutting edges of our teeth, and these
are protected by an extra thickness of
enamel. SO hard is this that only in
extreme cases. In persons who live on
very hard food requiring much masti-
cation, has it been known to Wear off.
This enamel cap is composed of Il
vast number of microscopic rods, one
end of each of which rests upon the
dentine, and the other reaches the free
cutting surface. These rods vary in
shape and position, some being five
and others six sided. some straight aud
others sinuous, but they are all arrang-
ed so that the maximum degree OF
compactness and strength is secured.
