It 1s not fair to measure a modern girl by the old standards. We should Judge her by whether the Impression made by her face is that of harmony, of balance. Personally, I admire the tiited nose, and 1 have a right to my opinion, The personal element enters more or less Into every judgment of beauty. To my mind the nose that turns up slightly at the tip gives piquancy to the face. Accordingly, until I change my mind, my pictures of girls will have that characteristic. And a face is not inharmonious because It possess that kind of a nose, unless all the other fea- tures are aquiline hnd so do not match. It does not matter what the type of face, .whether oval, aquiline or mnearly round; if it gives the impression of bal- ance, of harmony, it should be attrac- tive. If one feature is out of harmony, It it spolls the balance, it will miss beauty. And #o of the figure, it may be svelte or plump, tall or short.

Or is there » distinction between the ghemical atom and the physical atom? “EDWIN SUTHERLAND, ew York." When the man of sclence tures into the realm._of atoms, molecules, electrons, all of which are indiyvidually too small to be seen, he finds himself wandering, like the hero of the “Pligrim’s Progres: through absolute darkness, amid pit and gins that beset hjs feet on every side, and with confusing demons whis- pering misleading suggesttons and false | analogies into his ears, He has nothing but his Imagination, trained by the re- sWits of experlence ana observation in the visible and tangible world, to gulde him, | The result is that his definitidns of the things that he finds, or seems tc find, although they may perfectly describe his own fmpressions, appear, sometimes, contradictory, or unconvincing, to the average man who only reads about that | marvellous underworld of the atom. | Henice such questions as those asked ebove.

What pros ! portion of the space Inside an atom s ' occupled by the electrons, which are be- (lleved to be In ceaseless revolution, or i vibration, we cannot say with certainty. What we do know s that the mass, or | welght, of an electron is about on~-thous- andth of that of an atom of hydrogen, which 1s the lightest atom xnown. But| this does not tell us exactly what the| electron’s size s, because we do not know ity relative density. However, by cal-| | ulations based on the etectric charge | borne by the electron its size has been yapproximately estimated. In this way it | has been found that the diameter of an . "electron may not be more than on twenty- | | millfon-millionth of an inch, while that | jof an atom is as much as one two-hun- | | dred-and-fifty-millionth of an ineh, If {this is ¢ t, the atom, minute though it be, is times as great in dlameter | &8 an electron.
