PRETTY BUT USELESS.
Cheap Ornamental Thermometers Made
and Sold by the Thousand.

Cheap Ornamental Thermometers Mado
and Sold by the Thousand.
This is great year for thermometer
makers. There is fashionable craze
to 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 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, or whatever
may be used for mounting, and put
them together herself. When a down.
town thermometer maker was asked
what effect the craze had on his trade,
he replied:
Very 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
$40 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 lower
temperature, and, though its boiling
point is $50 degrees, it will boil in
vacuum at nearly 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 Mall and Express.

OLD RAILROAD SCHEMES.
How Our Forefathers Thought to GAt
From Boston to the Hudson.

How Our Forefathers Thought to Cat
From Boston to the Hudson.
There is an interest just now in re-
counting the efforts that have been
made at different times to build a great
through line from Boston to the West.
Back as early as 1926, when the Erie
canal was about to open new line OF
travel and commerce between the Hud-
son and the lakes, massachusetts was
striving to open line of communica-
ton from Boston harbor to the Hudson
river.
In 1926, in compliance with resolve
of the Legislature, Loammi Baldwin
made preliminary survey for canal
from Boston to the Hudson, and one of
the routes by which he made survey
was almost identical with the present
line of the Fitchburg railroad, and he
suggested tunnel for the canal
through the Hoosac mountain from the
Deerfield river to North Adams. An
other survey was made farther south
between Boston and Springfield. The
opening of the railroad from the Quincy
granite quarries to tide water. a dis
tance of about three miles, and the dis
cussion and the opening of short lines
in England, turned public attention in
this State from canals to railroads and
nothing more than the surveys and the
making of reports came OF the project
of building canal from Boston to the
Hudson: but in 1927 and in 1923 James
Z. Baldwin who is said to have been a
son of Loamimi Baldwin. made a sur
vey of railroad from Boston to the
Connecticut river by two routes. One
followed the line of the present Boston Il
Albany railroad, and the other was al
most exactly on the line of the Central
Massachusetts railroad. Its greatest
divergence from the line of the Central
was in the town of Princeton and Hub
bardston, the present road going lit
lie to the south of the survey OF 1923.
That line struck the Ware river at Hub
bardston and then followed it to Bonds
vile; thence to Belchertown. There
it bore to the left and passed through
CRANKY and South Hadley to the Con-
necticut river at Rock Ferry half mile
below Mount Tom station on the Con-
necticut River railroad, instead of 60
ing through Amherst and Hadley.
This line was 106 miles long from Bos-
ton. The exact distance from Boston
to Northampton by the Central is 1O34
miles. The survey of 1928 contem-
plated the building of railroad, the
cars on which were to be propelled by
horses.-Springfeld (MasS.) Union.

A RIVAL OF WOOL.
Imported Garments Made of the Hair OF
Russian Cows.

Imported Garments Made of the Hair OF
Russian Cows.
Cows hair has never been highly
valued as 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 a rival of wool,
and cows will be cultivated for their
hair as well as for the present mani
fold reasons. A Walker street i'm
porter received 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 tibers, and to the un-
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 possibil-
tiles of the American COW seem to be
almost unlimited. But she will not
carry all the glory of furnishing this
country with heavy fabric. Among
her rivals will be thousands of horses,
and even the homeless, valueless yell
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
ing and breeding that could be obtained.
81 have frequently seen," said Prot.
Doremus, "a big ball of hair taken
from a 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-
der the glass looks very much like the
skin of an alligator; it is filed with
little irregularities which cause it to
fasten. Soldiers boots, non-conduct-
ing wrapping for boilers and steam
pipes and soles for slippers are made
from the hair.-A 7. Tribune.

'Now get into the boat as quickly ~
possible, and don't leave any children
this time, commanded the young cap
tain.
They obeyed orders; they were ready
to listen to advice. and again COM
menced their journey. The rapid cur
rent of the river helped them along,
and they rowed like men lwho knew
that every thing depended upon getting
away from that band of angry Indians.
Captain Hardy's sympathies in the
whole affair were with the Indians, and
not with the mean, cowardly white
man who had so wantonly murdered
the two inotfensive and unsuspecting
Savages. But he knew the Indians, in
their desire for revenge. would make
no distinction between the innocent
and the guilty, and they would wreak
vengeance upon all alike.
BY daylight they were far down the
river, so far that they felt safe in con-
tinuing their journey. They met with
no difficulties on their way, and late in
the afternoon reached a trading post
where some soldiers were stationed.
and where they We're out of danger.
Captain Hardy's duty was done. He
landed his load of passengers with
great pleasure, giving them the provis-
ions that remained in the boat, and
urging them to find place of rest for
the women and children as soon as
possible. When they were all out Of
sight he took his bags of gold and
silver, wrapped them in blanket, and
went to the trading post. Here he was
comparatively safe till the next day,
when he went on down to ST. Angus
tine, and from there he took his de-
parture from Florida for ever.
Captain Hardy became so familiar
with the Greek language that he was
preparing n dictionary of it when his
labors in Florida were so unexpectedly
terminated. The large bundle of
manuscript was concealed in the stump
with his money. and taken away at the
same time. but the dictionary was
never published. The manuscript has
probably been destroyed, but daugh-
ter of Captain Hardy well remembers
seeing the papers many years after
they were written, at Captain Hardy's
home in Ohio, where the brave Florida
Indian trader ended Il long and event
full life.-A''nG r. Rcfensperger, in

MY DOG.

With sun-bright thoughts inspire me now,
Thou classic muse. with radiant brow;
Let floods of inspiration roll
Ger all my brain and heart and so1l,
And bid my pen awake and sing
In glowing words which long shall ringl
And would'st thou know the fruitful theme
That haunts me like some long-lost dream!
'Tis my poor dog. my more than friend,
Whose honest face-as lone wend
Through this worlds dreary. desert mart
Fer soothes and cheers my dropping hearth
What though each lover prove untrue
And Fortune smiles as coldly too,
Let Fate do with me what she VIII,
Thank Heaven. have friend left still
That's ever true. whate er betide,
E'en though 1 spurn him from my sideI
Content with but scanty store,
On bones he feeds, nor asks for more;
Kick him, he turns and licks my hand!
Obedient comes to each command.
And when in sleep my eyelids close
He guards my home from midnight foes!
How sad to think there is no Heaven
Where dogs can go and be forgiven
For all their snarls and growls and bites
(All dogs. you know. delight in fghts),
And where they may rewarded be
For all they've done for you and me-!
Ny faithful dog, my best of friends.
Go where will, still memory blends
Thine honest face and mute caress
With all know of happiness;
And from green nook in my heart
Thy gallant form shall ne 'er depart!
When comes for me the ''Boatman Pale"
Whose shallop's rugged with ghostly sail
When this bright world do forsake
To cross the gloomy Stygian Lake
fain would bear away some trace
OF thy brave deeds and speaking face,
May you be minus kicks and cuffs,
Live to old age without rebuffs,
And have Of bones plenteous store;
And-well. can not wish thee more
Thy health I drink in water bright
My faithful dog, fond goodnight!

A Curious Marine Monster.

Not long ago curious marine mon
ster was captured near Tampico. For
several days school of unknown Great
ures were seen disporting in the gulf, a
short distance from the shore; but all
efforts to capture any of them proved
futile. till one was caught by accident
in a fishing seine. Ropes were then
thrown around the struggling monster,
and by the aid of horses it was dragged
to land. 1t was a cephaleptera van,-
pyrus, also known as the devil fish, :"
or ocean vampire. 1t measured fifteen
feet long and seventeen feet wide from
the edges of the pectoral fins, and its
mouth was five feet across.-City Of

TRUTH OF WEATHER.LORE.
The Reverence for Tradition Entertained
by the Average Mortal.

by the Average Mortal.
The persistent survival of weather.
lore in these days of intellectual eman-
cipation is nc t 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-
neurological 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," "cy-
Clones" and "synchronous charts" in
the world. If "hills clear. rain near"
means the same as ..the presence of a
wedge-shaped area of high pressure,
accompanied by great atmospheric
visibility, is likely to be followed by
the advance of disturbance with
rain and southerly winds,'' which
for all practical purposes it does.
the preference is justified on the mere
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
vived very large number founded on
the grossest error. These latter have
borrowed credcnce and respect from
the proved credibility of the others,
and apparently they are all destined
to sink or swim together. Hammer as
we will mt 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 supersti,ions, pure and simple.
which defy our attempts at destruction,
the most invulnerable are those ascrib-
inc certain effects to the influence of
the moon.-Johaa Westrood OliUer, in
