ZERo's HIsToRY.-"Ze Zero" " on the COM
mon thermometer, like the fanciful names
of the consultations, is curious instance
of the way wise men s errors are made i'm
mortal by becoming popular 1t may be
worth while to say that the word itself
(zero) comes to ns through the Spanish
from the Arabic, and means empty, hence,
nothing. In expressions like "90 degrees
Fahr." the abbreviation "Fahr." stands
for Fahrenheit, Prussian merchant of
Dantzic, on the Baltic sea. His full name
was Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit.
From boy he was a close observer of
nature. and when only 10 years old. in the
remarkably cold winter of l709 he exper
mented by putting snow and salt together
and noticed that it produced degree OF
cold equal to the coldest day of the year
And that day was the col est dav that the
oldest inhabitant could remember Gabriel
was the more struck with the coincidence
of his little scientific discovery, and hastily
concluded that he had found the lowest
degree of temperature in the world, either
natural or artificial. He called the degree
Zero" and constructed a thermometer
or rude weather glass, with scale gradu
atng up from zero to boiling point, which
he numbered 212, and the freezing point
32-because, rs he thought. mercury con
lracted the thirty second of its volume or
being cooled down from the temperature
of freezing water to zero; and expanded q
l80th on being heated from the freezing te
the boiling point.
Time showed that this arrangement
instead of being truly scientific. was ss
arbitrary rs the division of the Bible into
verses and chapters, and that these two
points no more represented the real ex.
tremes of temperature than from Dan tt
Beersheba" expressed the exact extremes
of Palestine.
But Fahrenheit's thermometer had been
widely adopted, with its inconvenient scale
and none thought of any better until his
name became an authority, for Fahrenheit,
finally abandoned trade and gave himsel
up to science.
The three countries which use Fahren
nett are England, Holland and America
Russia and Germany use Raumer's ther
mometer, in which the boiling point is
counted 80 degrees above the freezing
point France uses the centigrade ther-
mometer. so called because it marks thu
boiling point 100 degrees from freezing
point. On many accounts the centigradt
system is the best, and the triump ph o
convenience will be attained when zer'
is made the freezing point, and when the
boiling point is put 100 or 1000 degrees
from it, and all the subdivisions are fixet
decimally.
If Fahrenheit had done this at first. O
even if he had made this one of his man,
improvements after the public had adopte,
his error. the luck Of opportunity, whicl
was really his, would have secured to hi
invention the patronage Of the world.

BORROWED BooKs.-The most indie.
pendent mamie who would disdain to
borrow pins worth of ordinary matter
will not scruple to ask the loan
of a book. You lend it to him with
well founded misgivings. From that
time until the date of its return, time
enough elapses to suffice for the refreshing
of all the defective memories that have
existed in recorded time. The means by
which the borrower will avoid returning
the book. for which he has no use, and
having once read it, are innumerable.
First, he thinks he will make its return
an excuse for a friendly call; then he puts
off the call evening by evening for other
and more exhilarating social pleasures,
but insists that the book must not be put
in the bookcase or it might be forgotten
Some evening at bed time, he remembers
it, and enjoins his wife to remind him of
that book the very next day: the dutiful
wife does as requested, and gets snub
for her pains. Finally some tidy person
tucks it into the family bookcase. and it
Is forgotten. quarter of century later,
when the owner has reached that land
where the only books are volumes of rec
ord, some descendant of the former will
find the long lost volume on cheap
bookstall, and wonder how in creation it
got there. Yet the explanation is easy
enough.

JUDGED BY HIS OvERCoAT.-One Sun
day, during the war, the late Sexton
Brown, of Grace church, New York, was
performing the duty of grand usher at
the church. when soldier, who pre-
sented seedy appearance, walked up the
main aisle and took seat near the chan
Gel. All at once there was buzz among
the congregation, and the sexton stepped
up to the stranger, tapped him on the
shoulder, and said.
Il will show you seat. sir"
The soldier rose and followed Brown,
who led him to rear pew. AS he entered
the pew, and was about to sit down, the
stranger removed his faded overcoat, and
disclosed II handsome, bran new military
suit, with straps of maior, general upon
the shoulders. Then there was another
hum of conversation and rustling of
silks as the congregation moved in their
pews to get view of the man. Again
Sexton Brown approached the soldier, and
said.
General, Id be pleased to give you a
good seat"
"Oh, never mind" said the military
gentleman. Pm much obliged to you.
! I've been among the commoners for the
last year Or two, and guess | can wor.
ship God back here among them as well
as up front"
Brown retired as gracefully as possible,
and was quite surprised before the service
was over, to learn that the soldier in the
seedy overcoat was Maior-General N. 2.
Banks, at that time under orders to take
one of the most important commands in
the army.

Among the petroleum springs of Baku,
on the western shore of the Caspian, now
beginning to be known as they deserve, is
one communicating with the, sea which
produces at times a very striking phenom-
enon. The floating oil that covers the
surface for many acres round is frequently
ignited by accident, turning the smooth
water into veritable lake of fire. The most
famous of these conhagrations, to which
the superstition of the natives gives the
name of "Shaitaun Moor" Devils Light,
occurred in the autumn of 1872. 1t broke
out in the middle of the night, and was
declared by Russian naval officer. who
witnessed it from the deck of a gun boat,
to be the most striking spectacle he had
ever seen. The sheet of flame waved to
and fro in the wind like flag, lightning
up the shore for miles and making every
point and rock clear as midday. Far as
the eye could reach the smooth water was
all one red blaze, and the deep crimson
glow which it threw into the sky was
visible to the inhabitants of several inland
districts far out of sight of the sea itself.

SEEING THE CoLD.-From the following
brief account we may get some idea OF
how much colder than our coldest weather
is experienced by the adventurous Arctic
traveller. No wonder if the friends of
those who will spend the coming winter
is the high latitudes where such effects of
cold are Witnessed anxiously feel that
they are in peril. The same sight, on a
much smaller scale, may be observed on
any sharp winter morning among the
cattle of a farmyard.
The visibility of breath in the Arctic
regions is thus described by member OF
Schwatha's party: The country is filled
with reindeer, and on every hillside their
breath can be seen rising like clouds OF
steam. A herd that was frightened by
the dogs, which were following the musk
OK tracks. scampered off in every drec
tion, and it looked as if lot of locomotives
had been let loose over the country the
smoke coming from their lungs in great
putfs as they ran, and streaming along
behind them. When the sledges are
moving during II clear cold day the posi-
tion of any one of them is known to the
team though they may be widely separated
Sometimes. for the advantage of hunting
to be obtained thereby, our igloos or hutt
have been separated by days march o
about ten miles, and at that distance tn,
condensed breath of the dogs and peopl,
could be distinctly seen and the position o
the igloos located.

The year 1880 was one of enormous
prosperity for the business interests of
the United States-in fact probably the re-
markable one in the history of the country.
The New York Express in its review OF
the year says: "The growth of the coun
try and the large additions to the national
wealth during 1880 are strisingly illus
trated in the products of the soil, ol
which we raised 475,000,000 bushels o
wheat, 1,500,000,000 bushels of corn, 4l2,-
100000 bushels of oats. 24,0OO,0 900 bushels
OF ye, 40.OO0,0O0 bushels of barley and
6,0O0,000 bales of tobacco, sugar. rice
hemp, hay and other crops, and dairy
products which yield an immense sum oI
money in the aggregate. In plain words,
the United States now raises enough to
feed her own 50,000,000 of people and to
supply the deficiency of the balance
of the civilized world During The
year more miles of railroad have been
built, more consultations and combina.
tions entered into. more freight and
passengers transported, more money
earned and more Interest and dividend.
paid than any former year. The com
merce Of the country during the year has
made rapid progress, and caused The
United States to take a still higher rank,
being now third among the commercial
nations of the globe"

THE CHIMNEY,s SONG.

Over the chimney thenIzht wind sang.
And the chanted melody no one knew;
And the woman stopped as the babe she tossed,
And thought Of the one she had since lost.
And said as her teardrops back she forced,
II hate the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang.
And chanted melody no one knew;
And the children said as they closer drew,
"'Tis some witch that is cleavng the black nigh
through
'Tis fairy that Just then blew.
And we fear the wind in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang.
And chanted a melody no one knew;
Au1 the man, as he sat on his hearth below.
Said to himself, "Tt will surely snow,
And fuel is dear and wages low,
And I'll stop the leak in the chimney"
Over the chimney the night wind sang.
And chanted melody no one knew;
But the poet listened and smiled for he
Was man, and woman aud child, all three,
And he said, 1T is Gods own harmony,
The wind that sings in the chimney"

SHOW RESPECT FOR WoMEN.-There is
nothing in which young men are SO
thoroughly mistaken as in the low esti-
nation they form of the integrity of wo-
men Not of their own mothers and sis
ters, but of others, who, they forget, are
somebody's else's mothers and sisters. As
a rule, no person who surrenders to this
debasing habit is to be entrusted with an
enterprise requiring integrity of charac-
ter. Plain words should be spoken on the
subject for the evil is a general one.
If young men are sometimes thrown into
the company of the thoughtless and de-
praved women, they have no right TO
measure all women by what they see Of
these, than they have to estimate the char
acter of honest respectable people by the
development of crime in our police courts
Let our young men remember that their
chief happiness in life depends on their
utter faith in women. No worldly wis
dom, no misanthropic philosophy, no gen
eralization, can weaken this truth; il
stands like the record of itself-for it is
nothing less than this-and should put an
everlasting seal upon lips that are wont
to speak lightly of women.-Lymn Trans

THE LAKE OF GENNEsARET.-So
very curious researches OF geological
character have been made lately by M.
Lortet in the Lake of Gennesaret. the
Biblical Sea of Galiee. The level of the
lake being some 800 or 700 feet below
that of the Mediterranean, it was interest
ing to find out whether the present or
past fauna in the lake resembled that of
the larger inland sea. In this way M.
Lortet hoped to show that at some tar
distant period there had been a communi-
cation with the Mediterranean, which
communication had been severed by geo.
logical convulsion. The greatest depth
was found to be 250 meters, in the extreme
north, near where the river Jorden enters
into it. Strange to say, on the banks and
highlands surrounding the lake the same
round stones were found, showing a sea
abrasion, and at that exact elevation
which to day belongs to the Mediterranean
level. This shows almost conclusively
that at some former period the level of
the sea of Tiberias and the Mediterranean
were the same. As to there having been
any communication between the two, that
is II question not SO easily solved. M.
LorleL thinks that at one time the salinity
of the lake must have equaled that of the
Dead Sea, As it was, the study of this
water induce the French savdnt to spend
long Time in this region, calling on the
energies of languid and Indifferent boat
men. There are, according to NJ. Lortet,
forty.twn different kinds of fish in the
lake, OF which seven belong to the species
known as chromis. One family of this
kind presented the curious trait of hatch
ing its young in its mouth, and for that
act was very appropriately named chromts
patertamttias. But beyond the fish ter
mollusks, two tortoises, crab and a
shrimp were the only living organisms
But what was remarkaple was the abund
ance of the fish. Two castings of the me-
usually filled M. Lortet's boat.

young fellows. While their fathers. hon
est, laboring men, work early and late to
make living, and their mothers enslave
themselves 10 keep them tidy and cook
their meals, these interesting creatures
are lolling about terrified at nothing so
much as the idea of earning the salt that
seasons their food.
You cannot induce them to do little
sewing, by offering them double pay, lest
they should be known to be working
girls" and lose all chances for the fash
ionable world.
Interesting creatures! Doomed to help
less dependence through life, or to be IA
dead weight to their duped husbands,
