Made A os and How the Nerves Tell You When" ; ee is eee There are a few more painful¢ things than a toothache--tic dol- 'ourenx and an abeoss in the middle ear, for example--but none that causes such widespread suffering, for few persons aro fortunate enough to pass through life without being afflicted by it. The diagrams that this article were drawn with the purpose of explaining graphically why it is that a diseased tooth is eo acutely painful. Look firet at the smaller dia gram, which shows a canine tocth in a serve how a tooth is constrficted First of afl, on the optGd le, is the enamel, the hardest "substance in the human body. This forms the cutting edge and covers the entire exposed surface of the tooth, inside and out. It is purely mineral, and very like the enamel that coats our china: cups and saucers and i asic le Pocaiog Me cen 2 filled jwith what dentists.call pulp oruérve. This consists of a nerve, a small artery and a vein. These are the life of the tooth. The ar- tery supplies it with blood, which penetrates through mioroscopically emall channels called canaliculi throughout the dentine. The vein carries the blood away. The nerve is a sensory nerve; that it, it carries sensation or feel- | * ing from its endings back to the rain. Now let us trace a toothache back from its source. Let us say that first upper molar has a cavity in it. This meahs that. acids from the caliva and from decaying food have perpetrated come minutecrack' in the enamel] and have gradually eaten a hole in the dentine. This | dentine is slightly sensitive, becom- ing more so as the pulp cavity is approached.

There is another nerve, called the facial (seen ont off below the tri- geminal), which supplies the mus- cles of the face, that with which we have been dealing supplying only the surface, except in the case of the teeth.

In the small towns of eastern Ganeda it is safe cent. of the shade-trees need atten- tion, for, unlike the cities, towns employ no "tree doctors" to guard the health of the trees, and larly, and often carelessly. Yet if the shade-trees in many of chief attractions would be gone, There are several reasons: why the trees in these old towns require | special. attention. The jef is probably .duse to defective crown deer' opment, the result of over- crowding: Misshapen and weakened crowns result in excessive wind- broak, and ragged breaks, i untrimmed, provide the best possi- le entrance for fungi.and insect able, unassisted, to shake off these foes, are slowly dying through ne-) glect.

In the World. China's famous iron mine, the Tayeh, the foremost in the Far East, is especial] € ease with which it is worked. Tt| Ham stands peerless in the world in this respect, excavation requiring no machine power. The work is done by hand by the Chinese coolies. The mine is reputed to be inexnust- ible in its ore. In the days of the "three kingdoms' the locality formed a theatre of pleovy fighting, and the vicinity abounds in relics of that momocehte period in Ohinese history. It is about 3,630 Obinese miles from Pekin overland, . Tayeb-, Hsien is traversed by ranges of hills and mountains, the valleys of which abound in innumerable lakes of all sizes, with water course facili- ties. The locality is rich in scenery of great -beauty, and the Chinese found the alte of ancient foundries ably 1,000 years old. Millions o cS of slag lie in heaps. eae, Meee Architects In.

In England there was frost. on every one of those nights, while snow fell in parte of France and there was frost. all through Northern Italy, says London An- swers. In those days the art of protect- ing fruit trees from frost by smoke was practically unknown. It hap- pened, however, that a yine grow- ér, named Glaretie, was burning a on the day that.the firot rost came, and in 'the morning he toned that the smoke hanging over the ground had preserved his vines from the cold.
