Typical of Ex -Kaiser's "Kutner" and
of His Courtiers' Servility.
'Writing in the German review, Welt-
buechne, Johannes Fischart reveals
seine interesting facts regarding the
sycophantic courtiers who formed the
circle of William IL's favorites,
While watching the yacht races at
the Kiel Regatta fn 1901 the Kaiser
had to sign some State papers.
To an admiral standing near file
Kaiser remarked: "Tir3 itu is a bore
with his documents. I should prefer
a glass of champagne," "At your ser-,
vice,. Majesty," roplied the admiral,
who rushed headlong to get a glass of
champagne, wbicll he handed to his
monarch with a low bow.
Wilhelm drank half the glass, then
went out on the bridge, beneath
which were Gen. von HaJanke and
the officers of his brilliant suite.
"I3ahnke," shouted the Emperor,
"you would like some champagne,
too," and as the general turned his
face upwards to reply, Wilhelm pour-
ed the remainder of his glass over
him.
"Your Majesty is too gracious," was
General Hahnke's manly retort to this
insult, while the rest of the suite
roared with laughter.
Wilhelm returned in boisterously
good humor to the deck cabin and de-
manded something to eat. The at-
tentive admiral `rushed to fetch some
caviar sandwiches.
Wilhelm removed the butter and
the caviar from one, and, emerging
once more on the bridge, shouted:
"Hahnke, you would like some caviar
sandwiches, I am sure."
As General Hahnke looked up to
murmur his thanks Wilhelm threw the
remnant of bread in his face. Again
General Halmke, with a courtly bow,
replied—"I our „Majesty.. is too grac-
ious."
This was a typical scene, says Pis -
chart.
THE VALUE OF DIAMONDS.
Gems Are Occasionally Discovered of
a Yellow or Deep Orange color.
The 388 -carat diamond which has re-
cently been found in the Jagersfon-
tein Mine in South Africa promises to
be worth an enormous sum of money.
The reason is that its color is the rare
and beautiful blue -white.
The Hope Diamond, most famous of
blue stones, weighs, only 45 carats,
yet has changed hands at $300,000.
Of all the South African nines the
Jagersfontein is the only qne that
yields the blue -white stones.' Before
diamonds were found in South Africa
it was only in India that these blue
stones were found.
South African diamonds are apt to
be yellowish or "off color," and these
stones are far less valuable than pure
white diamonds. Canary yellow
stones are often found, and some that
are quite brown.
Kimberley yields good white stones;
those found at Dutoitspan are usually
yellowish, while the Bultfontein is
known for its curious spotted gems.
The Premier or Wesselton Mine
gives large and very beautiful cry-
stals of a deep orange color. These
are so flawless that in spite of their
color they often fetch large prices.
Borneo yields the most remarkable
range of colored diamonds found any-
where in the world. From thence come
yellow stones but rose red,
only
bluish, smoky and pure black stones.
The Borneo diamonds, like the Aus-
tralian, are extremely hard,
There is no example known of a
large red diamond, Red is, indeed,
the rarest color of all. and proportion-
ately valuable. But all diamonds, even
the black sort, are valuable. if they
cannot be made into ornaments they
can be used for edging boring tools.
The Secret of the Dress Bili.
I remember, says a writer in the
Methodist Times, the indignation ex-
pressed in a certain circuit because
i.be minister's wife looked so well
dressed. They were sure she couldn't
afford it. On lady said—"She looks
like a duchess" --and she slid. I knew
the exact amount site spent on her
clothes. It was incredibly little. Her
Fvei'et Was --"Few things, as .well cut
as I can afford: styles that won't
'da.te;' and a central color scheme for
my whole wardrobe, so that every-
thing tones." The "fancy counter" at
sales, with its tumbled laces . and
rather faded ribbons, never inveigled
her, "I won't look like a jumble sale,"
she said.

Do you shave
with a saw ?
E‘OOLXSH question
'+ 4 No. 11991 Maybe.
But compare for a
moment the illustrations
above. They show pretty
well what we're driving at;
that is, unless a blade is
stropped regularly it develops
an edge very like a saw; and
caur-s that "pulling" and
after -smarting of which you
complain.
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 sharp blade for
every shave. The beauty of
it is you don't have 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—
stropping, shaving, and clean-
ing—the blade remains in the
razor.

sunbeam and compel it to serve lean
directly instead of indirectly.
In 1893, John Ericsson, a Swedish
scientist, constructed 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 concentrate 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 sixty-
three horsepower per acre of reflector
exposed: that ratio, however, was not
sufficient for practical purposes, and,
like Ericsson, the Shuman Brothel's
bad failed to concentrate the power
sufficiently to slake 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 clay one would accomplish
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.
New Gift to Humanity Has Enormous
Possibilities in Medical and
industrial Fields.
When Jules Verne wrote his great
book "Twenty Thousand Leagues Un-
der the Sea" it was deemed to be the
greatest piece of imaginary fiction
ever produced, but now all that was
contained in that book, and more, has
come to pass and is being taken as a
natter of course. So much is it a
matter of course that the next genera-
tion will not remember the time when
men knew not the floor of the sea.
When Hans Anderson wrote his
tale of a fairy riding a sunbeam he
little thought that the time would
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.
However, there is nothing new un-
der the sun, Coal from which we pro-
duce heat and steam is just the stored -
up, concentrated energy of sunbeams.
It is the power of the sun that evapo-
rates the water of low level and car-
ries it back to the highlands so' that
it may furnish us with power as it
again seeks the low levels, It has
long been recognized• that the sun is
the source of all energy, and it is by
the proper harnessing of this known
power that the problem of the world's
to the filen 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.
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 equirii=
ment insteti'd of a gasoline outfit:
During every hour of sunshine they
would store up free power in storage
batteries. Standard 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, Harvey's 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 slower 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 mail was pro-
ducing fire and Beat by rubbing two
sticks together, the sun was pouring
unlimited heat on all about him. Truly
there is nothing new, but all honor

You reckless men and women who
are pestered with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison are
now told by. a Cincinnati authority to
use a drug called freezone, which the
moment a few drops are applied to
any corn, the soreness is relieved and
soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts -
out with the fingers.
It is a sticky ether compound which
dries file moment it is applied and
simply shrivels the corn without in-
flaming or even irritating the surround-
ing tissue or skin. It is claimed that
a quarter of an ounce of freezone will
cost very little at any of the drug
stores, but is sufficient to rid one's feet
of every hard or soft corn or callus.
You are further warned that cutting
at a corn is a suicidal habit.
