The Egyptian Conference.
The Pail Mall Gazette reiterates its belief
that the account which it published yesterday
on the leading provisions of agreement upon
which the Egyptian conference will be based
recently made by Earl Granville and Mr.. Wad
dington was substantially accurate. 1t says
that all the jugglery and self deception OF the
governments protests will not affect the sim
pie fact that England is to be in a permanent
minority on the board of audit. Our French
colleagues make no secret OF their determina-
tion to convertible board of audit into an effec-

How to Hang Thermometers.

There seem to be so many erroneous
notions among the many amateur mete-
biologists of the city about the minimum
temperature of the twenty-four hours,
and how TO obtain it correctly, says q
correspondent of the st. Paul Pioneer
Press, that q few lines from an sold
weathercock, trust, Will not be alto
gether lost. In the first place, then,
the temperature of the wall of any build
ing at any hour Of the night or day is
not the true temperature of the circulat-
ing air, and is of no use to science. A
wood wall will radiate its heat more
rapidly than brick or stone, and the
amateur scientist who hangs his Their
mometer Oh a wood wall can force his
mercury down below the amateur who
selects brick wall. The proper way to
expose your thel-lometer is to surround
it with a light wood frame, covered with
Stats, like shutter work, and rooted over
This will protect it from the direct rays
Of the sun and reflected heat. Run a
light wood bar across the center of your
shelter, TO which yon can attach the
thermometer, which should be, when
properly exposed, on the north side of
the building, and at least one foot from
all surrounding objects. If these direc.
tions are followed, erroneous reports Of
extreme cold weather will not find theil
way into print so often. 1t is not yer,
funny thing for the press to report 2:
deg. below zero, when 10 deg. repre-
sented the true temperature of the cir
culating air. 1t gives persons abroad
wrong impressions of your climate.

An EmperOr's Joke.

In the published memoirs OF Kara-
tygin, the famous Russian actor, will be
found the following characteristic anec-
dote of the late Emperor Nicholas. His
Majesty happened one day to be I'd
in inspecting state penitentiary in one
of the provincial seats of government,
and took it into his head to question
some of the convicts respecting the ma
ture of the offens0s for which they were
suffering punishment. "What are you
here for?'' he asked of one. "I am in
nocent, Imperial Majesty" replied the
prisoner, falling on his knees, "a victim
of false witnesses! Achurch was robbed
"a beadle knocked on the head-the
peasants caught hold of me and knew
nothing about it." Turning to another,
the Gar asked, "And you?" "False
witness again, Imperial Majesty. A
peddler was done for close to my house.
L never even dreamed of such thing. !"
"And you ?" said Nicholas to third
"Sheer malice, Sire. One of my neigh
bors conveyed lot of forged notes into
my pockets, and hid away photographic
stone in my bedroom. am as inno-

or, obviously bored by these successive
.protestations of guiltlessness, cast
glance along the line Of prisoners until
his eye fell upon ragged, wretched-
looking gypsy, whom he beckoned for
