Zero - Artificial
cold. produced
by Fahrenheit.

Fahrenheit was IL mathematician and
knew that n circle was div ded into
$50 degrees. He found that steam and
ice were the most natural fixed point,
in temperature, at opposite poles. He
therefore naturally divided the distance
on glass tube between ice and steam
into the number of degrees in the diam
eter of circle, which is $50. He
wanted an instrument which could be
cheaply made and which would meas
ure above steam and below ice, so far
as would be used in every day life. He
found that artificial cold could be pro-
duced that would cause the mercury to
fall jus thirty-two of the spaces he had
marked off on his glass between ice
and steam. and he there, sensibly or
not, placed his zero on the point from
which he could count. Hence ice or
freezing is S2 degrees above, and steam
or boiling water is the diameter of his
circle or lS0 degrees above ice, or 212
degrees above zero.-Cor Ohio State

ENCOURAGING,

The Conviction of the Chicago Ballot-Box
stuiicrs Welcome News to Honest
Men.
The information that three of the Chi
cago ballot-boX-stuiiers have been con-
victed will be welcome news to honest
men. 1t will be taken. as an encourage
ing proof of the determination of the
people TO keep the elections pure and
clean. The attempt was so audacious,
and, if successful, the result would have
been so far reaching, that the event has
attracted almost as much attention as
the notorious Tweed frauds in New
York city. The conviction of the rogues
demonstrates anew what the people can
accomplish when they undertake, with
earnestness, to break up an infamous
political ring. Such combinations exist
mainly by the sufferance of the public,
which submits for time to the imposi-
ton rather than face the obloquy which
too often is the sole reward of those
who expose wrong-doers.
The result in Chicago is ominous for
Mr.. Cleveland and his party. happening
as it did on the eve of their accession to
power. 1t must suggest to them the
fact that the people only need to be
aroused to n full realization of the enor-
nifty of the frauds the Democracy have
committed upon the ballot boxes to
awaken n determination to crush out
this crime against the suffrage wherever
found. BY means of these frauds the
Democrats have kept the chief city of
the West under their control for years,
and they hoped to use it as base from
which to propagate their principles in
that section. The present exposure
will check their career for the present.
The people, however, will not be satis-
fled with this one triumph, but, en-
couraged by their present success. will
not stop until they have thrust from
power the party which gained the
Presidency and holds the House of
Representatives by the most gigantic
system of fraud upon the ballot-box
known in history.
1t is significant that the Democratic
papers maintain profound silence
with respect to this Chicago crime, or
refer to it only to ridicule its impor-
tance. They have sought to keep it
from the public mind, just as they tried
to prevent all discussion of the enor-
nifty of slavery, and just as they try
now TO smother every investigation into
the colossal frauds upon the suffrage in
the South by protesting against the
waving of the bloody shirt They were
eager TO grasp the fruit of this crime in
Chicago, just as they have willingly
profited in the past by the same nefa-
rious schemes in that city and else
where. 1t was only by the aid of the
Federal Election law that this Western
fraud was unearthed, and against that
law the Democratic party rs opposed
solldly. No part of their National tri-
umph has given them so much real sat
lsfaction as the prospect of repeating or
nullifying this statute. But the law was
found to be so powerful an aid in the
Chicago case that the people will hard
ly listen with patience to demands for
its repeal from a party which now is,
and always has been, the enemy Of
pure politics. hiladeIphia Press.
