How Thermometers are Made.

The glass tubes, as received, are
about yard long. A boy picks them
with hard steel knife, and breaks them
into the length required. The bores,
which are fiat, are compared, by means
of a lens, with those of ten standard
sizes, and the tubes assorted according
ly. They are then passed to the blow
pipe table. Each glass-blower has
foot bellows, and uses an oil lamp.
Melting the glass at one end of tube,
he blows it into bulb by pressing the
sides of hollow india-rubber ball at
tached at the other, proportioning the
size of his bulb to the bore of his tube,
and ascertaining the size by using pair
of callipers. While the bulb is hot,
the tube is inverted in mercury, which,
as the bulb cools, partially fllsit. The
tube is then withdrawn and a short
india-rubber tube attached at its open
end. Into this mercury is poured that
in the bulb is boiled to expel the air,
which rises up through the mercury in
the india-rubber tube, and an atmos-
phere of the vapor of mercury now flls
the glass tube and bulb. As this con-
denses, the mercury in the india-rubber
tube takes its place, when this tube,
with any mercury remaining in it, is
removed. The tube is now warmed,
and the open end of the glass tube her
metically sealed.
=. The bulb and a portion of the tube
are immersed in melting ice, and the
height of the mercury marked they
are then transferred to bath at 62 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and the height mark
ed next to bath at 80 degrees Fab.
renheit, and the height again marked.
The length of the three spaces OF 30
degrees each are now carefully measur-
ed. II they are exactly equal, the bore
of the tube is assumed to be uniform,
aud the degrees laid off on the brass
scale of the thermometer are all made
of the same length. II the spaces Of
thirty degrees each are not found to be
exactly equal, then, by means of a high
" ingenious dividing engine, the de-
grees on the scale are mode to increase
in length as the calibre Of the tube
diminishes. When the plate has beer
divided, and the figures and letters
punched, it lis passed, laterally, betweel
two rollers, to remove the burr left b.
the tools. Were it rolled lengthwise
the accuracy of the dividing would b.
impaired. The plate is then silveret
: and lacquered, the glass tube attached
and the whole slidden into the we'll
known iapanned tin case.

AstOr, Stewart, Vanderbilt.

The New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes: The
three richest men in America are VIM.
B. Astor, A. I. Stewart, and Commo-
dore Vanderbilt, all residents of New
York city. Astor's wealth is mainly in
real estate and its revenues; Vanderbilts
in railway stocks and their dividends /;
Stewards in goods, houses, stores, fac
tories, lands and stocks. The aggre-
gate wealth of each one Of them is sup-
posed to be somewhere between 975,-
100000 aud 100000, 900, which looks
rather heavy. Nobody knows exactly /;
they cannot tell themselves, within
million or two. Those who know most
about their affairs put the figures high
est, and they say that the income tax
return of a few years ago, which showed
each of them to be worth between
twenty and thirty millions, gave no
proper idea of their real wealth. Astor
lives unostentatiously; Vanderbilt lives
in three story brick house on thild-
class street and Stewart lives in mar
BILE palace in Fifth avenue, mole mag
nifcent than any other residence on the
American continent, and equalled by
few in any of the great cities of Europe.
Astor and Vanderbilt are New Workers
by birth Stewart is native of the
north of ireland. Astor is a large,
heavy man of seventy, with strong
features, and a rubicund face like a
parchment, and gives the impression of
being hard-up; Vanderbilt is a tall,
slim, handsome, proud-looking man of
nearly eighty, straight as an arrow.
Astor has heirs to his estate; Wander
bilt has children to whom he can leave
his fortune but Stewart is childless.
Astor's public benefactions are con.
fined to something like couple of
hundred thousand dollars, which he
gave to the Astor library, and the
golden candlesticks, nine feet high,
which he recently gave to Trinity
church. Vanderbilt has never made
any public benefactions, except a
steamship to the government during
the war, till very recently, when he
gave a million dollars for educational
purposes. Stewart has always had the
reputation of being close-fsted but he
must be credited with his million-dol-
lar " Home for Women, which will be
completed next year.

There has certainly, however, been a
deterioration in the physique of the
Russian imperial family since the time
of Nicholas. Nicholas was undoubted-
ly one Of the very handsomest and no.
blest figures in Europe, and his fea-
lures and expression we're as command
ing as his physical bulk. The present
czar is tall and cOmely in his way, but
he is cast in a less stately and heroic
mold than his father. His face is amia-
BILE, but without much dignity. It Is,
in fact, rather soft F; and the nose, which
in Nicholas was majestic, in his son has
begun to decline into the little round
button which is seen on the fiat CAL
muct faces Of the grandchildren. The
old saving, "Scratch Russian and You
come upon Tartar" is applicable here
in another sense. The short, dumpy
stature, bullet heads, fiat faces, and
small eyes and noses Of the czarowitz,
the duchess Of Edinburgh, and the
Grand Duke Alexis, are unmistakably
| Of the Tartar type.-LOndOH Letter.

Rescued From the Jaws of Death.

Niagara Falls on .he morning of June
1st, was the scene of terrible excite
ment in consequence OF painter named
Nc cCullough, who was employed in
painting the bridge leading from Goat
island to the Three Sisters, having fall
en- from the bridge into the rapids be
low. He drifted with the current to a
point within forty feet of the falls,
where he found anchorage in the mid,
die of the stream that separates the is,
lands by coming in contact with a rock,
to which he clung. In few moments
the news of the accident spread like
vildfre through the village, and an I'M
mense crowd of spectators gathered tc
look at the unfortunate mans perilous
situation, from which it seemed impos
sible to rescue him. Mccullough had
given up all hopes OF being aided; hi'
arms and body we're fast becoming be
numbed and losing their hold on th'
slippery rock, when a shout went NJ
from the throats of the spectators which
told him that aid was nigh. In tha
vast crowd which had assembled on tn
islands and bridges there was but on
man who was willing to risk his owl
life in trying to snatch fellow.creatur
from out the jaws of death. Tom Con
roy, a guide at the Cave OF Winds
Jumped into the rapids, and, holding i
his left hand the end of rope an
swimming down the current, he reache
Mccullough in safety. He immediatel
tied the rope around himself and tn
nearly exhausted man, and they wer
both safely landed ashore in few mC
ments. Mccullough was badly bruise
about the head and body.

"COdnsh y AristOcraCy.

The gentry of New York have moth
ing to boast of in their lineage, for
their origin was invariably humble. The
original of the Homes was German
sugar refner, who wrote his name
Hum, and probably lived on sausages
and beer. Philip, his son, when the
old man got rich, changed the name to
a prettier shape, and took position
among the gentry. He was a fine look
ing man and was successful dry goods
auctioneer, in which business his firm
reached wealth and distinction. He as
socisted with the Grinnslls, the Irvings,
and others of the more cultivated soci-
ety but on his death the family sank
again, and now we hardly hear Of it.
The Brevoorts are descended from old
Henry Brevoort, a Dutch market man
who had an estate of about twenty-five
acres in the upper part of the city,
which he cultivated with his own hands.
The land was very sterile and required
patience and untiring labor, and the slen-
der crop of corn, peas, ,radishes, potatoes,
etc, was hardly sufficient to give the
family a support. The son Henry grew
ND an associate with Washington Irving,
and of course had no turn for garden
ing. This he did not heed, for about
the time he came OF age the land was
worth 10000 per acre for bui ding lots.
and it soon bore crop of houses.
Some of the farm was retained until it
became worth $500, 900 per acre, and it
is now worth double that rate, for it is
included in the Fifth avenue, which is
the most valuable of the abodes OF
fashion. The old gentleman lived tc
be nearly ninety, and retained his OLD
habits until the last, but the son be
came fashionable man. He did mot Ions
survive his father, and the third in gen
Grafton is the present Carson Brevoort
who occupies high social position
and is one IF the trustees of the Asto
, library. I might track up the lineag
of all our leading families, and fin,
, each one starting from some humbl
: origin. 1t is foolish and unwise to il
dulge in family pride. and in this cit
! it is peculiarly snobbish to do so, fc
/ we are all sprung from the commo
| classes. Cor. ST. Louis Republican.

WELL, this is a sumner. Two young
ladies of Chicago, daughters of respec-

ted for carrying on a wholesale conf.
dence game, by collecting money in the

$4,000 during the year or more il
