significance" said a clergyman in
a Lenten address. "It forms, YOU
see, in company vls the nose, a

"In the time of the Moslem in
vasion of Spain mixed marriages
rendered it impossible to tell a
heather from Christian so the
Spaniards took to shaving all the
face but the upper lip. Thus ev-
cry Christian countenance bore a
cross-a cross part flesh and pat

"From its religious the mus
tache has come to have an elegant
significance purely Men now
wear it not to proclaim their faith,
but to magnify their beauty. its
source, however, is in Christianity.
Before the Spanish invasion men
either wore full boards or went
clean shaved.n

There is an interesting pa 21a

scum that serves three purposes.
One is the display of its material,
for it is built out of crude cam
phor. The worlds supply of cam
phor is limited to a few distribut-
ing centers, one of the largest of
which is the island of Formosa,
where it forms the principal eX-
port product. The second pur-
pose is to show the shape of a pa
CODA and at the same time the
decorative possibilities of Japanese
carving on the walls of the pagoda.
A third and more chemical inter
est lies in the formations of cam
phor crystal on the glass inclos-
ing the pagoda. These are caused
by the action of heat, and are very
beautiful in form. They may be
seen almost completely covering
three of the glass sides Of the hex
agonal case. The other three are
kept clear, and through them may
be seen the pagoda and on the
edges of the camphor blocks a
thia rhine of the crystals forming
as they leave their original form
in the pagoda.
