A RAZORS EDGE
IlcHultH That Come From Stropping
and LanK Ue
Very thin Is the edge of a razor blnde
Its thickness has been estimated at
about one half millionth of an inch
A writer says of this wonderfully thin
bit of steel when seen under a power
ful microscope The extreme edge of
the section is distinctly bent to one
side This is nearly always seen In
razor edges The actual bend repre
sents the effect of the last stroke on
the strop which this blade has received
Now this bending of the metal quite
near the edge minute as It Is has some
very Important practical consequences
If the razor be used In such a way
that the bend Is toward theskin there
will be a tendency for the edge Itself
to burrow downward Into the skin in
stead of sliding easily over the surface
and merely cutting away the project
ing hairs If on the other hand the
blade be applied to the face In such a
way that the bend of the edge Is away
from the skin the edge will slide much
more smoothly with lesi tendency to
cut or scratch the skin while It will
act upon the hairs In a slightly upward
direction and thus tend to pull them
tight while cutting The direction of
the bend of the edge can be regulated
by the last few strokes on the strop
This minute amount of bending un
dergone by the metal near the edge of
a razor blade has another practical re
sult We all know that a piece of wire
which will quite easily stand being
bent double will be broken If it be bent
backward and forward many times
What really takes place Is that the
metal which was strong and ductile
to begin with is gradually made hard
and brittle and then finally breaks off
Now the metal near the edge of a
razor is being subjected to very similar
treatment Every turn on the strop
reverses the direction of the bend near
the edge and although the amount of
bending is too slight ever to bring
about actual breakage of such an
elastic metal as hardened steel It Is
yet sufficient to bring about a change
In the metal which renders it less
elastic and able to stand the strain
This Is why a razor which has been
used long ceases to cut well or to hold
a good edge
Now it has been discovered that
steel which has lost its proper elastic
qualities by such a process of fatigue
as- it is called is capable of recovering
Its good qualities under favorable cir
cumstances It will recover in thig
way if left at rest though this is a
comparatively slow process which ex
plains the fact that a tool which has
become useless through continued use
will be as good as ever after a prolong
ed rest But recovery will take place
much more rapidly if the steel be
warmed so that a few minutes expo
sure to the temperature of boiling wa
ter will bring about recovery to an ex
tent that would have required several
days rest at the ordinary tempera
tures This fact explains the advantage
to be derived from the familiar prac
tice of steaming a razor before use
Dont Starve Your Kril
It is a common mistake to think that
pets can only be taught when hungry
and to commence a birds training by
depriving it of breakfast dinner or
supper is a most unhappy beginning
In reality the feathered folk are Just
as apt and full of fun after a comfort
able meal as before It and to starve
scold or otherwise ill treat the little
creature will usually render it too un
happy to learn quickly if at all Birds
are extremely nervous beings They
love a low quiet voice and gentle
movements love to be talked to coax
ed and made much of If the pet is a
new one and seems specially excitable
or timid you will have to teach it first
of all not to fear you Any little games
he is to learn must be acquired after

No The record is held by Courticc

out respiration in 1S98 The record
previous to that was held by Farinelli
with 300 notes NormanrSalmond has
sung 287 notes in this waj
It is wonderful what lungs trained
singers have The average man could

It is said that the name of Nome
was the result of an error made by
some Englishman in writing a letter
He evidently intended to write the
word home but the makers of the
maps iead it Nome and thus the name
Nome belongs to history and the great
district of Alaska Some authorities
claim that the wbrd Nome is a corrup
tion of the Indian phrase or word
Knoma meaning something like I

If you cannot be happy in one way

it is in his hand or on his head

A Daring Waap
Some wasps live in part upon honey
which they collect from the most open
petaled flowers and thus to a very
moderate extent they may be regarded
In the light of flower fertilizers Kirk
iand says In the first volume of the
American Naturalist that tiie paper
hornet Vespa maculata often enters
my- nucleus hives when I am rearing
Italian queen bees and captures the
young queen in the midst of her little
colony usually just after she has com
menced her first laying I have seen
this depredator enter the small hive
drag out the queen and fly away with
her to the woods page 52 Some of
the species of the genus polistes store
up honey which is poisonous from the
fact that It has been collected from
poisonous flowers They are found In
South America where also species of
the genus chartergus occur wasp
that make a very remarkable and
tough nest with funnel shaped combs
inside arranged one inside of another
nest fashion but not In contact ex
cept at their points of suspension At
the apexes of these cones occur the
apertures of entrance for the Inmates
to pass up among the conical tiers
Steering the iip
The work of steering a great ship
even with the aid of modern machin
ery Is much more delicate than one
would Imagine The larger and faster
the ship the greater is the difficulty
It is not enough to hold the wheel In
the same position to keep the ship on
her course for the wind and waves
and the currents of the ocean tend
constantly cp knock the ship off her
course The great wall of steel for
the hull may le700 feet long and sixty
feet high offers a broad target for
the wind and waves The art in steer
ing Is to humor the ship to these forces
and when she is deflected bring her
back quickly to her course If you
could watch the binnacle especially
In bad weather you would see the
needle of the compass constantly shift
ing from side to side which means
that the great steel prow Is not going
forward in a perfectly straight line

TIe Hessian Plnvea
It is a matter of record that upon
the first official celebration of Inde

which had been captured by George
Washington at Trenton in the previous
December to play in the public square
alL day to the great delight and amuse

that these involuntary celebrants were
obliged to practice appropriate airs for
three weeks previously in order that
they could not plead ignorance as an
excuse
