He thought it would be quite the correct thing to attend in Japanese costume, and wrote to a. friend in Yokohama to send a complete suit of the costume of a gen- tleman of high class. in receipt of the costume he was immensely surprised at its expensive variety.

The Japanese shoes, or "tteta," as they on called, are one of the singularly dis- tinetive features of Japanese life which will strike the observer with wonder- ment as soon as he sees them looming along along the roadway, or hears them scraping the gravel with an irritable squeak that makes his very nerves tshud. der. Nevertheless, awkward though the shoes appear, they are of a kind eon- atituted to make feet as hard as sheet Iron and ankles as strong as steel gir- ders. . The shoes are divided into two varle- toes; the low shoe is called the "komy) geta," and is only used when the roads; are in good condition. The high shoesl named "ashida," are worn when the weather is rainy and the roads are muddy. Both kinds have a thin thong attached to the surface to secure them to the feet, which are therefore not cov- ered as if they were in shoes, but are left exposed to atmospheric conditions. The "komageeta" resemble somewhat the Lancashire clog, and their construc- tion merely entails the carving of a block of wood to the proper size.

He had [is down in the wolf den about five feet on a slant in a man- ner something like the entrance to a dugout. then lay down in the trench to reach in after some eoyette pups.

The horse making a lungs caused the bank to cave, the dirt falling on the prostrate bodv of the man, covering his body and head.

Nor is even a toothed blade neces- sary if a suitably hard and finely gritted abrasive is used and regularly fed be. tween the glass and fine wire, watch spring or blunt, but even, blade of an or- dinary table knife. The latter will be somewhat slow. of course. but a fine steel wire, run at high speed, like a band saw, if regularly fed with fine emery or earbo. rundum, will give very satisfactory re- sults, not only for cutting either straight lines or curves in window, but plate or optical glass,in such thickness as makes cutting with a diamond difficult, precari- ous or impossible. Another method is to use a. fine saw blade (the finer toothed the better,for saw is only another form of file) and this should be kept fed with fine emery, carborundum cf pulverized silica. sand or hard grit, moistened with camphor, oil, turpentine or water. Diamonds Not the Only Things Needed to Sever the Brittle Substance. It often occurs that brass tubes of various dimensions have to be cut where a diamond is not at hand, as in shops and power plants, where oil and water gauge tubes muse be neatly fitted. The usual method adopted is to file a small groove around the tube and separate the glass with a sharp rap at the place weakened by the file. The result is not always atisfaetor.r, bebsuse the ends often break unevenly, owing to the diffi. culty of making a straight groove with the iile. Better results are obtained when only a small incision is made with a file, just enough to cut through the enamel of the tube on one side, and not all around. While the tube is still warm from the friction of the file, the tube is then taken between the thumbs and fore- fingers, the thumbs opposite the file in- cision, and the forefingers around the tubing, close, but not covering the inei. sion. Pressure of the thumbs invariably causes the tube to break in as straight and clean a line as though cut with a diamond. TORONTO APPETITE OF THE ESKIMOS. 1‘“ij CUTTING GLASS IS EASY. A. S. McDonald.
