Pencil Sharpening A drawing master states that he is often able to Judge the characteristics of his pupils by their manner of sharpening a pencil. The artistic In-dividual usually makes a fine tapering point, the business-lik- e person a short, stubby one. Those who sharpen a pencil towards themselves on a thumb are often secretlva The untidy per-son reduces his pencil-en- d to shape-less Irregularity, while the very happy-go- -lucky one hacks away In care-less fashion and finishes with about half the length he started with.

Where Motet Got Them , Archeologists think they have found S Mount Sinai and the place where ' Moses got the tablets on which were graven the Ten Commandments. A narrow canyon two miles long leads Into an open space a mile across, en-tirely surrounded by cheer cliffs and precipitous slopes of the mountain top. Here they have found the ruins of a tiny hidi'n city built after Moses' time an known as Petra. Some of lti one-piec- e buildings, carved out of solid lmls-ton- C slV.l remain.

The World' Water The amount of water on the earth Is so large that the tinman mind can scarcely grasp its significance. Ac-cording to scientific authorities, It Is 327,000,000 cubic miles. Rivers and lakes In all countries only total a mere million cubic miles, the remain-ing 320,000,000 miles being taken np by the five great oceans Atlantic, Pa-cific, Indian, Antarctic and Arctic, Scientists tell us that, if the earth were not composed of huge mountain ranges which project above the sur-face of the oceans, and thus form the countries in which we live our globe would be covered with water to a depth of nearly two miles.

Tills number is the safe number to carry In the boat. If boots or canoes asfe equipped with n small airtight compartment of metal In bow or stern their' buoyancy will be greatly Increased, but such com-partments should be tested frequently for leaks. The capacity of the craft should be plainly marked on Its sides. |
