BEAUTY IN AN AK.
Glowing Tribute to the Symmetry of
the American Product.

the American Product.
In Professor r. De Tarmos "Aes-
thetic Education Won Hartmann's
formal orders of beauty are the text
for several chapters. one of which in
treating the proportion maintains the
following thesis:
There is an actual, possibly nee
essary. correlation between mechani-
cal efficiency and aesthetic proportion
In other words. as a tool or a ma
chine increases in all round efficiency
there is a corresponding increase in the
aesthetic quality of its proportions"
AS an example the American ak,
''the most beautiful in existence" is
described and analyzed
Theory. accident and experience
have stood beside the smith as he has
forged the blade. the head and the eye
OF the ak The same forces have in
iuenced the makers of the handle as
they have selected the hickory, have
shaped it in the rough with ak and
drawing knife and finished it by the
open freside with knife and sandpaper
and broken glass. From a straight
round stick it has become what we
see, gracefully curving handle fat
enough to enable the woodsman to
hold the blade true, large enough to
fit the hand comfortably, enlarged suf-
fciently at the end to make sure the
grasp yet be no bar to the comfort OF
the user and curved enough to secure
the maximum Of ease and vigor of
stroke
The whole constitutes a balanced
perfection which is as beautiful in its
proportion as it is efficient in its ac-
ton. The edge of the blade rounds
gently at its extremities for ease of
entrance to the wood and recovery
from it; above these rounded ends of
the cutting edge the blade is made
somewhat thinner front and back
than through the body of the wedge.
and for a similar reason, namely. that
there may he greater recovery for the
next stroke The head is just mas
sive enough to balance the blade and
is either made square for striking
nonpenetrating blow or is gently
rounded"
