Training for the Cockpit.
lphiladelphia Record

"More care is taken in the training of
fighting cocks than was ever spent in
getting Slugger Sullivan ready for a
match, said an old chicken fancier, yes.
terday, in answer to the query of re-
porter. The speaker handled the ''birds"
in nearly every prominent main that has
ever been fought in or near the city. He
was one of the few who escaped arrest at
the recent raid upon cock fighters at
New Huntington Park. Neatly ar
ranged coops, containing fine specimens
of the feathered pugilists, occupy the
whole of the third floor of his residence.
When match is arranged the training
begins, and until the battles are fought
the chickens are constantly under the
trainers direction. The first object is
to harden the flesh and by exercise 10
increase their staying powers. This is
done by running them back and forward
on wooden table by the pressure of the
hand They are then placed in coop
OF su f1icient Dimensions to allow plenty
of space for walking.
After certain amount of this exercise
the chicken is weighed, and il its flesh
has not been reduced enough TO satisfy
the trainer it is put through another
process. The chicken is tossed several
feet into the air, and alights ON mat
tress placed upon the table. A hundred
times, possibly, the feathered fighter
goes up and down, when he is put in a
dark but well ventilated barrel. A
couple of hours are allowed to elapse,
when he is again brought out, and two
little soft balls fastened to his spurs
Another chicken is equipped III like
manner, and the two indulge in a spar.
ring match. THIS continues several
minutes, and while they strike each other
viciously no harm eau result, unless
one of the "glovcs" flies OIL A feature
of the training is the feed given. Ii the
chicken needs little more weight he is
fed on raw beef, Roasted corn and the
white of hard boiled eggs are the princi-
pal articles of diet, with loaf of spiced
br, al, containing eggs, sugar, rock can
dy, and variety OF spices for dessert.
The latter is eaten with relish. The
maximum limit OF weight of n fighting
chicken is six pounds, while the mini
mum weight is four pounds. The sport
of cock lighting, according to the old
fancier, has largely increased during the
past score of years, and he declared that
not week passes without rafting
contest in some part of the city.

Notes on the Thermometer

At recent meeting of the Royal
Meteorological Society, the President
read paper entitled :" Brief Notes on
the History Of Thermometers. He
stated that tho subiect had been handled
In . comprehensive manner by NJ Renou
few yearse ago in the Annpaire of the
French Meteorological Society, 40 that
he should merely mention some of the
leading points. The name Of the actual
inventor of the instrument is unknown.
The earliest mention OF it M an instru-
ment, then fifty years old was in work
by DR.. r. Fludd, published in 1888.
Bacon, who died in 1876. also mentions
Il. The earliest thermometers were
really sympiezometers, as the end of the
tube was open and plunged into the
water, which rose or fell in the tube AZ
the air in the bulb was expanded or CON
tracted. Such instruments were Of
course affected by pressure as well as
Temperature, as Pascal soon discovered.
However, simultaneously with suck in
struments, thermometers with closed
tubes had been made at Florence, and
some Of the old instruments were shown
ut the Loan Collection of Scientific APP
paraius at South kensington in 1876.
They are Florentine Academy collec-
tions, aud in general principle of con.
struction are identical with modern
ones.
Passing on to the instrument Ms We
now have it, Mr.. Scott said that most of
the improvements in construction in the
earliest days of the instrument were due
to Englishmen. Robert IIooke suggest-
ed tho use Of the freezing point; HALEY,
the use of the boiling point and the EN-
ployment Of mercury instead of spirits;
and Newton was the frat to mention
blood heat. Fahrenheit was German
by birth. but was protege of james L.,
and died in England. Reaumur's Mer.

gin to De Luo; while tho Centigradc
thermometer, almost universally attribu
ted to Celsius, was really invented by
Linneus. Celsius's instrument had its
scale the reverse way, the boiling point
being o. and the freezing point 100
After the reading of this paper the
meeting was adjourned, in order to at
ford the Fellows and their friends an
opportunity of inspecting the exhibition
of thermometers and Of instruments re.
Gently invented. This exhibition was n
most interesting one, and embraced 1856
exhibits. The thermometers were class.

typhoid fever Sunday night, in heI
fourteenth year. Adah was an interest
ing girl, lovely in he. disposition and
spirit, an excellent scholar. and had
come to be of great help and comfort
to her mother. 1t was only a year ago
that this family were called upon to
bury two little boys of diphtheria and
now they lose their oldest girl beloved.
Two other children are severely i'll of
the same fever, while the mother has
just got up from a slow fever. If the
Lord lOveth in proportion to the
weight of chastisement, there are those
here who have a deep hold on his love.
Adah's funeral was attended Oh Mon
day by a number of her mates in the
public school and Sunday school, and
her teacher and mates sent some beau
tiful floral offerings.
