AT THE TOMB OF NAPOLEON

A little while ago, l stood by the grave
of the old Napoleon-a magnificent tomb
of gilt and gold, fit almost for dead
deity-and gazed upon the sarcophagus of
rare and nameess marble, where rest at
last the ashes of that restless man. |
leaned over the balustrade and thought
about the career of the greatest soldier of
modern world.
l thought of the orphans and widows he
had made-of the tears that had been shed
for his glory, and of the only woman who
had loved him, pushed from his heart by
the cold hand of ambition. And said I
would rather have been French peasant
and worn wooden shoes. l would rather
have lived in hut with vine growing
over the door, and the grapes growing
purple in the kisses of the autumn sun.
would rather have been that poor peasant
with my loving wife by my side, knitting
as the day died out of the sky, with my
children upon my knees and their arms
about me. I would rather have been that
man and gone down to the tongueless
silence of the dreamless dust, than to have
been that imperial impersonating of force
and murder, known as Napoleon the
Great."-Robert G. IngersoH

INCOME FROM ANTICLINES

The first assistant secretary of the in
terror is an expert on anticlines and is con-
cerned with them because under govern
ment rules and regulations, he administers
the National Domain.
Uncle Sam owns a sizable landed estate,
part of which is already yielding crop
of timber and a much larger part of
which will one of these days be yielding
various crops when it is drained and
ditched and irrigated. The total area of
this National Domain is given as about
1,OS6,404 square miles, or roughly little
more than the combined area of the Bri-
tish Isles, France Germany, Belgium,
Spain, Portugal, Holland and Japan.
From the forest lands on it our Uncle is
getting an annual revenue of $4,793,0OO
which is some $793,000 more than 'cost of
administration" Sales of other public
lands, power-site leases, and so on, yield
about six millions year. But there is
prospect of our getting little more out of
our big farm by and by, thanks to the
anticlines on it.
An anticline is one of natures reservoirs
storing through the centuries the gasoline
that is so important in running our motor
cars and trucks and tractors. It is sort
of inverted dishpan of rock and sbale into
which the oil is crowded by subterranean
pressure. There it is held safely until a
drill pierces the bottom of the pan pro-
ducing a leak upward SO to speak, in the
fern of an oil well-perhaps "gusher"
which will make some people millionaires
overnight.
Prospectors, many of them in the pay of
Standard Oil, search diligently over the
public domain for these anticlines. When
one is found, the, prospector or his princi
pal takes possession and draws off the oil.
1t is his. But he has to pay Uncle Sam
modest royalty. The royalty which the
United States Government is already
drawing from the anticlines amounts to
some FIVE or six million dollars yearly and
will grow as time passes.
If every barrel of petroleum taken from
these anticlines should pay Uncle Sam
royalty of only nickel, he will be rich

RELICS AND RAZORS

Several hundred, perhaps thousands, OF
people help when you shave. The labor
of multitude of hands, the brain power
and inventions of many generations are
indirectly responsible for your clean-shaven
face. Moreover, variety of materials
from many countries entered into the oper-
alton. A Siberian hog, Japanese tree,
Michigan mine and Southern cotton field
may have been the source respectively for
your shaving brush bristles, perfumed
soap, razor blade and handle.
This will give some idea of cutlery as
it appears to man of Imagination. He
can see men tunneling and blasting in the
depths of the earth for iron ore and pic
ture workmen smelling it. He can imagine
the Gehenna-like glare of the furnaces
where the iron is transformed to steel, hear
the forges pounding and watch the crafts
men fashioning and tempering the blades.
But the man who is worrying about the
1856 has little time for imaginative flights.
Therefore, he is likely to become unappre-
ciative of the advantages and comforts of
living in this century Mark Twain
probably had something of this in mind
when he wrote "A Connecticut Yankee in
King Arthur's Court"
Were it possible to take man of today
and set him down beside the Pyramids in
the time of the Ptolemies, it would be in
teresting to watch his actions and re-
actions. This interest certainly would be
redoubled if we could see him shave. Pro-
vided our transposed wanderer had been
befriended by an opulent Egyption, he
would be given a concave metal mirror, a
sharp (?) knife and pair of tweezers.
Then his troubles would begin. Even with
the keenest hollow ground razor made to-
day he could hardly avoid cutung himself
because of the distorted image of his face
reflected by the primitive mirror. The
crude knife which passed as a razor in
those times would be the cruelest revela-
ton; his skin, pampered by the unappre-
ciated luxuries of the modern toilette,
would surely suffer. Perhaps he had
glanced askance at his Egyptian host when
he was presented with the tweezers but
after seeing the badly reaped field of stub
BILE, left on his face by the knife, he would
understand their use. The pieces of metal
were used to pluck out the hairs which had
been missed by the "razor."
The immense gap between the primitive
razor of the Egyptians and the handy,
keen-edge blade of today shows clearly
enough the evolution of the instrument.
But it would take more than few pages
to describe with any completeness the
changes that have been made in the han.
dies. Many materials have been used at
different times, but among them the most
common were wood, bone, horn, ivory,
shell, pearl, tortoise, silver and German
Each material mentioned has some fault,
but the cutters of former days had to be
content with what they had. Wood, use
full for many purposes, has never been ac-
cepted as carrying sufficient tone and
quality. This is also true of bone Horn
is scarce, limited as to size and hard to
work. Ivory is also scarce, expensive and
difficult to secure in large pieces. Silver
furnishes, requiring an immense amount of
attention. Pearl is beautiful, but so brit
