PRETTY BUT USELESS.

Cheap Ornamental Thermometers Made
and Sold by the Thousand.
This is a great year for thermometer
makers. There is fashionable craze
10 use thermometers mounted in every
conceivable way for house decoration.
The large dry goods stores is suppo sed
to have started the fashion. Last fall
they fitted up special thermometer
counters, and had thousands of these
instruments manufactured and mount
ed in numerous ingenious ways. One
of the most striking designs was an ear
of corn with thermometer set into
one side. Another design was gilt
harpoon with a thermometer attached
to the ivory handle. Then panels,
plaques, banners, palettes or any thing
that would add to the decorative effect
was utilized.
Nowit is the thing for a young wom-
an to buy the thermometer, the rib
bon and the ear of corn, OF whatever
may be used for mounting, and put
them together herself. When down.
town thermometer maker was asked
what effect the craze had on his trade,
he replied:
Every little. The cheap thermome-
tiers are made by the thousand, and are
sold for less than we can buy
the glass tubes here. OF course they
are not accurate. as every tube va
ries in the quantity of mercury that it
contains, and they are all mounted on
a graduated scale, which is stamped out
by machinery at the rate of hundred
every two minutes. Accurate thermom-
eters can not be made for less than
dollar each, and many costs from
80 to $40 each. The glass tube
must be prepared at least three years
in advance of use, or it will contract;
an absolute vacuum must be produced
before the mercury is inserted; and the
testing and graduating are handwork
requiring great care and valuable time,
The most expensive thermometers are
those made for brewers, chemical
manufacturers, incubator makers and
physicians. Mercury is principally
used for all temperatures between
forty degrees below zero and $50 de
grees above. 1t freezes at the love-
temperature, and, though its boiling
point is $50 degrees. it will boil in
vacuum at nearly a hundred degrees
less. Alcohol does not freeze at any
known temperature, and is, therefore,
used exclusively in thermometers in
the Arctic regions. and in many parts
of Canada and our Northwestern
States. IN. Y. Mail and Express.

TRUTH OF WEATHER.LoRE.
Tho Reverence for Tradition Entertained
by the Average Mortal

The Reverence for Tradition Entertained
by the Average Mortal.
The persistent survival of weather.
lore in these days of intellectual eman-
cipation is net at all remarkable when
we consider the extent to which the
vulgar sayings embody real truths. A
few years ago Messrs. Abercromby and
Marriott embarked on an extremely
interesting inquiry with view to de-
termine, by actual comparison. how far
the popular proverbs express relations.
or sequences, which the results of me-
theological science show to be real
The investigation proved that some
thing like hundred of the more popu-
lar savings are, under ordinary con-
ditions, trustworthy. Such being the
case, we need not be surprised that
simple country folk prefer familiar
couplets to all the ''isobars," ICY
Clones" and "synchronous charts" in
the world. If ''hills clear. rain near"
means the same as 'the presence of q
wedge-shaped area of high pressure.
accompanied by great atmospheric
visibility, is likely to be followed by
the advance of a disturbance with
rain and southerly winds,' which
for all practical purposes it does,
the preference, is justified on the nero
ground of breath economy. The thir-
ty-one words demanded by science
stand no chance against four.
But it is unfortunate that, along
with the limited number of folk-say-
ings founded on truth, there has sur
Sived very large number founded on
the grossest error. These latter have
borrowed credence and respect from
the proved credibility of the others,
and apparently they are all destined
to sink or swim together. Hammer as
we will at certain favorite proverbs
which we know to be based upon error,
it is all in vain. The reverence for
tradition is too much for us. And of
all the superstitions, pure and simple,
which defy our attempts at destruction,
the most inyulnerable are those ascrib-
Ing certain effects to the influence of
the moon.-John West,cood OliUer, IN

a RIVAL OF WOOL.
Imported Garments Made OF the Hair O
Russian Cows.

Russian Cows.
Cows hair has never been highly
valued rs Il textile production, but
through recent inventions that almost
valueless substance may take an i'm
portant position among the natural
productions of this country. Shortly
it is likely to appear As q rival of wool,
and cows will be cultivated for their
hair as well as fog the present mani
fold reasons. \ Walker street inn
porter received Il consignment of hair
felting, and the question arose as to
what class of duty it should be subject
to. Running through the material
were little woody fibers. and to the I'M
professional eye and touch it seemed
as though wool formed portion of the
fibric. The collector at first thought
that the material should be admitted
only under the high wool import duty.
This the importer objected to and sent
Prof. Doremus down to the custom
house to explain to Mr.. Magone the
difference between various kinds of
wool A microscopic examination of
the felt disclosed the fact that certain
kind of COW hair, having more the
properties OF wool than most cows
hair, had been used most successfully
to knit the hair together. The possible
tiles of the American cow seem to be
almost unlimited. But she will not
carry all the glory of furnishing this
country with n heavy fabric. Among
her rivals will be thousands of horses,
and even the homeless, valueless vel
low cur will be thought something of
by somebody outside of the ranks of
dog-catchers. The only requisite now
remaining is to produce hair with
certain amount of woolish qualities
The hair of American cows does not
possess so much of the essential "kind-
ness" as does that Of some of the
Russian breeds, but with careful train.

Doremus, ga big ball of hair taken
from cows stomach, after she had
been licking herself. that had been SO
closely packed by the action of the
stomach that it was almost impossible
to tear it apart. The Russian hair un.

skin of an alligator; it is filled with
little irregularities which cause it to

ing wrapping for boilers and steam
pipes and soles for slippers are mads

SHORT-SlGHTED PEOPLE,,

Individuals Who Do Not Recognize Thei,
Friends on the Street.
'Why don't you recognize that man!
You know him perfectly well, dom.
you?" Certainly; but he has cut me
three or four times. and propose that
he shall do the recognizing hereafter. -
This isn't, by any means, an infrequent
dialogue. 1t opens up the question OF
the inability of some people, even OF
those who are not short-sighted, to re-
cognize other people readily. There
are men and women whom we know
and whom we can not suspect of any
prejudice against us or any disposition
to ''cut' lis. who ordinarily make nc
sign of recognition when they meet
US. More than that, there are people
whom we know and like perfectly well,
who accuse us OF cutting" them in
public.
The writer has an acquaintance
whom he occasionally meets on per-
fectly friendly terms. and who has
honorably proved his courtesy, and vet
who never recognizes him on the street.
It is not a slight. He never reccg.
nizes anybody" his friends will tell
you And yet he has no ordinary de.
feet of vision. His case is one of a
number which seem to prove that there
is such thing as the recognizing
faculty. and that some people may be
deficient in it, such as others are de-
ficient in the musical sense or in the
pow er of distinguishing colors. Ones
identity has to be impressed upon such
peoples consciousness by a long series
Of reeognitions before it can be said to
have established itself in their sense,
SO devoid is that sense of accuteness.
Such people are rather to be commiser-
