Whenever you read or hear anything
that Is contrary to your experience or
belief It is always just as well to try
It, II It Is within your reach, before
you repeat It to your friends, because
II they know It IL not true they may
laugh at your credulity and you will
get a reputation for being either un-
reliable or gullible.
Some years ago there was q para
graph going the rounds Of the papers
and magazines saying that any boy
who wanted to cut glass and did not
own a glaciers diamond could cut 1t
with pair of stout scissors II he was
careful to hold the glass and the SciS-
sors completely under water. The
same thing is still to be found In some
Of the books on scientific experiments.
The reason alleged was that II II

the scissors were held completely I'M

ton. That this is not true any boy
could have found out in i've minutes

negative. Glass and marble have to
be cut In the same way. By making
q slight crack on one surface and thsn
breaking It.
