A French thermometer has been de-
vised of such sensitiveness that it will
even denote. by DETECTION of the in
dex needle of nearly two inches, the
entrance of person into the room
where it is placed, and by putting the
hand near the bulb the needle is de-
fiected the whole extent of the graduated
arc. The apparatus consists of bent
tube, carrying at one end build which
is coated externally with lamp black
The tube is filed to certain extent
with mercury, and is supported by
arms pivoting on steel knifs-blaae.
just above the pivot is fixed an index
needle which moves across graduated
arc, and beneath the pivot hangs rod.
to which is attached by friction a small
weight that serves to balance the needle
SO as to cause it to point to zero on the
arc. When the temperature rises, be it
ever so slightly, the heat being absorbed
by the lampblack dila es the air in the
bulb and drives the mercury forward
The center of gravity Of the apparatus
being displaced, the needle will immedi-
ately turn toword the right--and when,
on the contrary, the temperature de-
creases the needle will point toward tho
left.

HARD UP FOR STUFF.
The. Republican Camp i'm a

There is "blood on the face of the

pencil for the best of them.
Then in the First Ward the ardent
members have gone for genial Jim Vel

Council, and made him come
down in favor Of Ragland, the

been much more formidable for Lam.

believed to be heavy. Chas. Kenny, the

A Revolt Suppressed.

LONDON, December 4.--Advices from
Durblin state that the revoltlof the ma
tives against the Portuguese authorities
on the east coast of Africa, above the
Transvaal, which began about November
3rd, and which was eliminating in .
concentrated attack upon the post-town
of Inhambane. has been ended. The

The Pope and England.

A London dispatch of November 23d
says: 1t is reported that the Vatican
will send special delegate to England
to secure renewal of diplomatic rela.
tions between that country and the Vat
lean. This proposed renewal of diplo-
matte relations between the Pope and
England probably grows out of the fol-
lowing significant remarks, made by
Lord Denbigh at the annual dinner Of
the Rugby Conservative Association,
held November 2i. as reported in the
London Times of the following day. He
(Denbigh) had recently had some con-
versation with the Pople, and it would
be very interesting to the country to
know that his Holiness said 81 have
the greatest opinion of England. feel
grateful to her, and have the greatest
respect for her laws and Constitution,
for see she is just, and therefore lib
eral; she is strong. and all the Catholics
under her rule have greater liberty and
freedom than they have in any other
part of the world. For that thank
and respect her, and l wish to help her
to the utmost of my power wherever my
influence can extend throughout the
whole world. Not only can help her
in Ireland, but in the colonies and India,
aud l wish to do it to the utmost of my
power. But / must know what am
doing. l have no accurate means of
knowing now what is doing in England,
nor what the English government
wishes. l have no representative. Ii /
had representative of England at my
Court should know what was going ON
and know what to do, but until have
that it is impossible for me to act" His
Lordship went on to say he found his
Holiness really knew very little of what
was going on in Ireland, aud that he
bad no means of knowing excep1
through the Irish themselves. He
himself had mentioned this matter to
number of prominent statesmen, and he
hoped and trusted that some good would
come OF it.
