Do you shave with a saw ? "^VDOLISH question J^ No. 11991 Maybe. But compare for a momect the iUustraticn:: above. Thry sho-w pretty well what v/e're driving at; that is, unless a bkde is stropped regularly it develops an edge very like a saw, and causes that "pulling" and after-smarting of which you comptun. Not so with the AutoStrop Razor. For the self-strop- ping feature, you see, reforms the saw-like edge that results from shaving, and provides you with a shsrp blade for every shave. -The beauty of it is you don't Iiave to re- move the blade from the razor to sharpen it, nor do you have to take the AutoStrop Razor apart to clean it. From first to last â€" stropping, shaving, and clean- ing â€" the blade remains in the razor.

So much is it a matter of course that the next genera- tiou will not remember the time when men knew not the floor of the sea. j When Haiis Anderson wrote his ! tale of a fairy riding a sunbeam he \ little thought that the time wouIii4 come when the power of sunbeams ; would heat our homes, do our cooking, ' run our factories and drive horseless carriages to and fro over the face of the earth; and yet the time is com- ing, and that soon, when all these wonders and many more shall be ac- , complished. and the next generation will be as familiar with the power of concentrated sunbeams as we of the : present generation are with the power of steam, gasoline and water. j However, there is nothing new un- ; der the sun. Coal from which we pro- [ duce heat and steam is just the stored- â-  up. concentrated energy of sunbeams, i It Is the power of the sun thut evapo- j rates the water of low level and car- , ries it back to the highlands so that â-  it may furnish us with power as it ! Kgain seeks the low levels. It has i long been recognized that the sun 15 ; the source of all energy, and it is by i IIut proper harnessing of this known power that the problem of the world's ; supply of fuel and mechanical energy Is to be solved. '^ The supplv is as free as air and as piWitifu!. It is estiuuUed that on every i four square feet of surface between i the equator and the 45th parallel there ' is a wastage of the equivalent of one ! horsepower of energy. It Is stated ' that the power of the sunbeams falling on the deck of a steamship is greater thau the steam power required to drive her. Long a Puzzle to Scientists. Many scientific minds have dreamed an4 studied and atrlren to eoniitruet a harness that would (it the elusire sunbeam and compel it to serve man directly Instead of Indirectly. In 1S33, John Krtcsson. a Swedish scientist, constmcted an apparatus which demonstrated the possibilities of the use of the power of sunbeams for mechanical purposes. He secured the power in the area of his apparatus, but failed to concantrate It. In 1913, the Shuman Brothers es- tablished a 'Sun Plant" in Egypt, by which they succeeded in developing mechanical power at the ratio of siity- three horsepower per acre of reflector exposed: that ratio, however, was not sufficient for practical purposes, and, like Ericsson, the Shuman Brothers had failed to concentrate the power suflielently to make their scheme prac- ticable. For many, many years scientists have failed In their efforts to make the sunbeams do practical work, al- though they fully succeeded in de- monstrating that the power is there in abundance. They have all said that some day one would accqsipllah definite results, and now Dr. W. J. Harvey, eye specialist and member of the Royal College of Science, Toronto, has succeeded in doing that which will carry his name down through the ages as one of the great benefactors of the race. Dr. Harvey has succeed- ed where others had failed. By a combination of small mirrors he has succeeded in gathering the sunbeams and concentrating their heat at one point. So thoroughly has he done his work that apparently there is no limit to the intensity of the heat that may be obtained at the point of concentra- tion. Great Benefit to Mankind. In practice, this new servant will do wonders for its masters. We have only to think of the uses that unlimit- ed heat at a nominal cost can be put to. It enters into every phase of human effort, comfort and convenience. Let us consider one, the automo- bile. Think of every garage in the country with a battery of mirrors on its roof as part of its regular equip- ment instead of a gasoline outfit. During every hour of sunshine they would store up free power in storage batteries. Standaml batteries for standard cars. Think of the cleanli- ness, the absense of "smell" and the low cost of transportation. The automobile is only one item. The mind cannot grasp the changes that are coming to the world through Dr. Harveys success. Unlimited heat without fuel! Heat that by boiling water will make steam to turn dyna- mos and store up energy! Heat so intense that it will break rocks and melt metals: Truly science has never presented humanity with a greater gift. It is a perpetual gift, for so long as the sun shines and the earth con- tinues to revolve on its axis will this source of heat and power be avail- able to the generations. Wonderful are the provisions made by nature for man's comfort! These wonders lie dormant until the brain of man searches them out and fits them to his use. The primitive man who invented the bent bow with which to drive an arrow at his enemy was drawing on the stores of Nature for his well-being. It is a long cry from that weapon to modern gunnery, but at the time the bow was invented Nature held in her secret places the material needed for the manufacture of the modern gun and the high ex- plosive; and so. when man was pro- ducing fire and heat by rubbing two sticks together, the sun was pouring unlimited heat on all about him. Truly there is nothing new. but all honor to the man who, by untiring effort and years of study, has succeeded in har- nessing the source of all heat and energy and making of it the untiring and perpetual servant of man.

For- ! tescue at the Royal Institution, Lon- . don, the speaker began by referring ' to the pride with which the news that the dominions, each of them of their own free will, had offered a contingent of troops for the assistance of the Mother Country, had been received. Many people thought that this was a unique event in the history of the Em- pire, but this was not so. ' The first occasion on which the colonies contributed military ^id for an Imperial enterprise was in Crotn- [ weli's Expedition to Jamlca in 1653-4. , On that occasion the Barbados fur- nished 4.000 men. The lecturer ex- plained now it was that, through the system of white apprentices, troplcaJ islands were in those days able to furnish a white militia. The next in- stance came in the Carthageaa Ex- ' pedition of IT-tO, when the American colonies suppUied a force of 4.000 men. -â- Vfter that the American colonies help- ed consistently in the conquest of Ca- nada, until the final victory of Am- herst in 1760. During that period the first two -American regiments were ' placed in the British Establishment, [ and in 175S were created the "Royal Americans," which were still with us as the Kings's Royal Rifle Corps. Then the .American colonies were lost, and everyone thought that the British Empire had come to an end. Immediately afterwards followed the war In which our losses in the West "It feels al!
