ed. II there was any difference between
amateurs and professionals in Finland.
''None at ALL" replied the Finn. "As
far 40 I can zee, the only difference
between an amateur and a profession
al in America IL that the amateur
either cannot or is afraid to Sign his

his signature to the receipt for any

Hot Knife.

"a knife that cuts butter when 1t
is hot land under no other circum-
stances, we sometimes meet with. and
the reason of this is easily explained.
Feat expands metal and in proportion
to the amount of metal which is heat
ed. There is more metal in the breadth
Of a blade than in its thickness, and
the former therefore is expanded i'm
mensely more than the latter. In other
words. the wedgelike shape is length
ened, and the tool becomes SHARP"
