THE THERMoMETER.-Th late severe frost has
caused particular attention to be paid to these
useful and simple instruments, yet many per-
sons are quite ignorant of the principles on which
they are constructed The word means literally
measure Of heat" The idea of determining the
intensity Of this subtle agent originated with
Sanctari, an Italian philosopher, in the year
| 1920.
| His plan was improved upon by Fahrenheit, a
German philosopher, who lived about the year
| l720, and he was the inventor Of the thermome-
| ter now used in this country and in England
The form Of Farenheit's thermometer is too we'll
| known to need description. Farenheit's thermom-
eter is deficient in this respect viz: that the in
ventor labored under mistake when he imagined
0, or zero, to be the extreme Of cold Zero is the
temperature Of equal parts Of snow and salt, and
Farenheit thought that that point was destitute
of all heat. Repeated experience has proved that
| the mercury often falls lower even in temperate
attitudes. The freezing point of water he mark
cd by plungng his thermometer into water in
that state, after having marked the degrees on
his SCALE and found it 32o the heat Of boiling wa
ter, 1902; while other temperatures, such as sum
mer heat blood heat, and fever heat are merely ar
bitrary marks, supposed to be correct the aver
age. The only positive marks are the freezing
point 320, and the boiling point, 1922
French thermometers are differently marked,
but equally wrong, as the freezing point is placed
at the temperature of mingled snow and SALT or
zero, when in reality water freezes at much
higher temperature. The boiling point in the
Thermometer in use in France is marked 1902
In Germany and Russia the freezing point of the
thermometer is also marked zero, and the boil
ing point 800.
| At4Oo below zero, mercury becomes solid; con-
sequently, to mark the degrees of cold sometimes
experienced in Russia and in the Arctic regions,
spirits of wine is used, which has never been
known to freeze from natural causes although il
is said that Scotch chemist once succeeded in
| producing such an extreme degree of cold as To
1 freeze even alcohol. If he did so, he never
diyuQed the secret of the chemical agency by

FROZEN FrsH.-Prof. $. ID. Lathrop, in q let
ter to one of the editors of the +" American Jour
nal of Science" states as fact well known TO
those who are accustomed to take fish, such as
the common perch and the lake mullet, from Lake
Champlain, in the winter, that these fish may be
frozen perfectly solid, and be transported many
miles, and kept several days; when, upon thaw-
ing them out in tub of cold water they will be
found to be alive and active. He has taken some
pains to corroborate this fact by inquiry and has
found 1t to be well sustained by evidence, though
he has never seen II. He has found the same
fact sustained in the case of the buffalo Ash taken
from the Rock river.

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO

CALIFORNIA;
TINE public will be gratifed to learn that the
i United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
Ience of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama
These Interruptions are now all removed
Three of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt HITCHCoCK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. Peck.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEv.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENCK, u. S. N.
FALCON, Capt, HARTsTEIN, II. S. ~
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stsy Of the ship in port at Pana
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.
