NORMANDY NUGGETS.
Stones That Find Their Way Into the
Mouths of Many People.

1t is far cry from ''the lonely
stretches Of the wave kissed shore" to
false teeth, but by. unexpected paths
sublime to the utilitarian. Many a
man calmly chewing an indestrucible
steak in America little dreams that
the picturesque coast Of Normandy has
been sacrificed to provide him with
uolars. Such is the painful fact, how
ever. If you walk along the southern
shore of the English channel between
Dieppe and Havre you will see men
and boys searching for stones of a
certain size and shape from a varied
collection of rocks which form the
beach. These are put into sacks and
shipped to America, where they are
converted into porcelain.
The industry-for such Is the term
used to designate this invigorating &C.
cupation-has grown to considerable
proportions in the past few years. Its
simplicity is perhaps its greatest
charm. Having once learned the kird
Of stone you are looking for, all th~s
is required of you is to pick it NY,
If you do this steadily and uncom
plainingly for several hours you will be
sure to fill a sack. Then all you have
to do is to fling it jauntily over your
shoulder, run across the powders to
the superintendent and demand
franc.
With this wealth in your pocket you
can then sit down and look dreamily
over the water while you allow your
Imagination full play. You seem TO
see the stones after a long voyage
across the Atlantic being slowly
rescued from their rude state. Bit by
bit they are dragged from their print,
tive nothingness up to the heights OF
twentieth century porcelain. They are
then shaped, polished, mounted on
gold pivot-but why go into it? 1t is
too painful. -Minneapolis Bellman.

Riddle of Gravitatior,

Nearly $50 years ago one of the great
est intellects connected with science
turned his attention to gravitation. In
that $50 years physical science has
made rapid advances. A boy who has
completed years work in elementary
physics could entertain Newton in cleo
tricity were it possible for the great
philosopher to return to earth. After
learning of the great progress in cleo
tricity 1 can imagine him in his eager
desire for knowledge turning to the
boy and expecting some light on gravi-
tation. Alas, not only the high school
boy, but not even the most learned.
can give any definite information on
gravitation. The problem is about
where Newton left it-Popular Science
