Good Razors Possible.
c Engineering Magazine.

From the Engineering Magazine.
In the manufacture of razors 1T is. of
course, very easy to produce that close
grained fine white fracture which is GER
tainly indicative of good treatment, but
which is sometimes though enormously,
supposed to be q sure guarantee or the
best treatment In this case the require
ments of the instrument are sufficiently
exacting to draw attention to variations,
and there is very common feeling that
there is q certain element of chance in
the purchase of a razor. 1t is sometimes
expressed that whatever price you pay
you try your luck" Occasionally one
hears of a remarkable razor which holds
it's edge as IL by magic giving pleasure
to its owner every day for half lifetime,
so that he would not part with it for
guineas. So long as 1T is possible for one
razor to be selected a particularly
good one it is evident that the hardening,
as carried out fails to impart the maxi
mum efficiency to the majority. The au-
thor believes that it is possible to harden
every razor in a gross so that each one
shall be truly duplicate of the best
Whether it would pay TO do so is a ques-
ton which is outside his province.

ever. Kingsley withdrew from the move

to Mil, who asked his reasons. Kingsley
wrote: Il am panied, in very large ac-
quaiatance of all ranks, to find the better,
rather than the worst women against us !;
while foolish women, of no sound or CO.
