TAXES are subject to be discussed at
all times and particularly when the tax
collector demands from you what is due
the public. There can be no question
but that the small property holders are
taxed to the full value of their property,
while the wealthier ones are only taxed
on fraction of the property in their
possession. How this is to be remedied
is problem rather difficult of solution.
There is not person in the city with
tangible property not exceeding 81, 900 in
value, who does not pay taxes on every
cent of it, and there is not a property
holder in the city worth over $40, 900 who
pays taxes on the full value of the prop
erty. There are number of persons in
this city worth more than $50, 900 each
but it is doubtful whether any one pays
taxes on that amount.

THE hard times now existing are hav-
ing visible effect on the amount of aid
which the city is compelled to give the
poor. The poor commissioners say that
applications for city aid are on the in
crease. The cold weather has added to
the distress of these poor people and the
price of wood is very high. The city is
annually called upon to expend quite a
large sum for charitable purposes and it
is well that public sentiment approves
the outlay.

UNION SCHOOL.

A union school will be held at the
school house in the village of Centerville
on Friday and Saturday, January 18th
and 18th.
The exercises conducted will have
special reference to the Course OF In
struction. Again, the caution is given
the several teachers on the programme
to SO conduct the exercise as to present
something of value in the manner of
teaching, and not to attempt to make the
recitation an exhibition of the pupils
proficiency in the subject presented.
1t is desirable, when roads, weather
and distance permit, that the larger pu-
pills attend these schools in company
with their teachers. The presenceof pat
irons of the schools at these meetings
will be welcomed, and their attendance
at the evening session is particularly re-
quested.
The following is the programme:

SAM HALL lately put in new hay
press in his large hay warehouse. He
has three presses running now. The
amount of hay sold in this county may
be gathered from the fact that for the
commercial year ending last August
Mr.. Hall pressed and sold 26, 400 tons of
hay. There are three other firms in the
city engaged in the same business,
besides others in smaller places in the
county.

THE different temperature shown by
different thermometers in the came 10
cality, has occasioned some surprise
The invariabIe result is that the owner
of each thermometer claims that his is
the only correct one and that all others
are misleading. The fact is no thermom-
eter, except those made differently from
the ones in common use, and with ex-
ceeding care, is more than approximately
correct. 1t is estimated that only one
tube in six has a uniform thickness and
of course those thermometers, the width
of whose tube varies cannot properly ia
dictate the temperature. This is the
most common source of inaccuracy, and
as the reason is easily comprehended the
explanation may be here given: Mercury
expands with heat and contracts with
cold. The expansion of the liquid metal
in the bulb causes it to rise in the tube.
If the size of the tube has constant
ratio at all points to the size of the bulb
the rise of the mercury in the tube will
be uniform with its expansion in the
bulb. For instance an increase of two
degrees of temperature above the freez-
ing point should send the mercury TO
height above the freezing point just two
times what it would be sent above that
point by an increase of one degree in
temperature. But suppose the inner
diameter of the tube, that which the
mercury occupies, should, at the point
one degree above the freezing point, be
reduced one half. The expanded metal
requiring additional and uniform space,
must rise twice as high In the tube of
one-half the diameter, and the thermom-
eter shows three degrees above the freez
ing point when two degrees are correct.
The increased demand for Thermometers
puts great many defective ones on the
market.
Again, they are made so hastily that
the tube in which the mercury expands
contains more or less air, which makes
it incorrect and the varying quantity of
air makes the different thermometers dis
agree.
The graduation is not perfect and not
in accordance with the ratio between the
size of the tube and the capacity of the
bulb.
The proper quantity of mercury is not
put in to insure correctness, and this
varying in different tubes causes differ
ences in indications of temperature.
Glass expands also with heat and glass,
of different thickness and of different
quality expands differently, thus causing
inaccuracy and disagreement.
Below zero and above the boiling point
the expansion of mercury is not uniform
ly proportionate to increase or decrease
of heat. So that mercurial thermom-
eters do not show fully how cold it is
when cold is severe. Mercury freezes at
390 and boils at $500. 1t is not reliable
indicator below 81 below zero, and can
not show less than 39o. In the winter
of 1873 the writer saw mercury freeze
through the cold of the weather.
