The Wrist and the Arm.

The real wrist. as one might say, Is;
the elbow joint. 1T is all hand, prac-
tically speaking, from that point to the
tips of the fingers. When you turn
your wrist it is the whole forearm
that makes the twist, and every move
ment of the fingers is controlled by the
muscles of the forearm. The power
to turn the wrist to and fro at the ell.
bow joint is possessed only by human
beings and monkeys. and even the
higher apes are not able to do the trick
nearly as well as we can. In this
movement the great biceps muscle
in the upper arm is Importantly CON
cerned, it's powerful action in turning
the forearm outward being account:l-
BILE for the fact that we are able to
put SO much more strength into twist
In that direction than the opposite
way. Many of our most familiar tools
indeed. such as the screwdriyer. are
made with reference to the anatomical
popularity in question. 1t is for this
reason and no other that all screws

UTILIZING Sharks, Teeth.

The natives on some of the Pacific
islands, being provided with neither
metals nor any stone harder than the
coral rocks of which the atolls they
inhabit are composed, would seem bad
ly off, indeed, for material of which
to make tools or weapons were it not
that their very necessity has bred an
invention no less ingenious than Curl
Gus and effective This is nothing less
than the use of sharks teeth to give a
cutting edge to their wooden knives
and swords. The mouth of the shark
contains 800 teeth arranged in FIVE
rows. all closely lying upon each other,
except the outer row, and SO construct
ed that as one tooth is broken or lost
another takes its place. The teeth
are not only pointed and keen edged,
but are finely and regularly Sierra ted,
so that the cutting power is greatly in
creased. Indeed, SO great faculty
have these teeth for wounding that the
implements and weapons upon which
they are used have to be handled with
great care The Kingmill islanders
make many strange articles of sharks
teeth.

Beatrice, countess of Savoy and wife

life to cOnfine her tresses for one hour

her affecticnately and said. "Set your
heart at rest, countess. for before long
| will make you a greater queen than

last of the Norman kings. and caused
Conradino, the great-grandson of the
Emperor Frederick, to be mercilessly
slain, he himself and Beatrice Witness

brother Charles became king of Ma

Reed and Strout.

Thomas B. Reed served in the navy
during the civil war, and in 1865 he
returned to Portland to practice law.
One of the strongest men ct the Port
land bar at the time was A. A. Strout.
Before beginning the trial of a suit it
was Strout's habit to inquire of every
juror as to the state of his health and
impress each with the idea that the
lawyer was solicitous of that jurors
personal welfare. Reed and Strout
were constantly antagonizing each
other, though they were yery good
friends In nearly every case Of inn
portance Strout and Reed were Oh OPP
posite sides. 1t was annoying indeed
for the suave Strout to hear Reed
drawl out before the opening Of a
case:

having finished his morning task OF
shaking hands with the jury, we may
now, / hope, proceed with the bust
ness of the court"
