Tare OH Sugar.

Assistant Secretary Maynard has writ
ten letter to the Collector of Customs
in New York in regard to the question
as to whether schedule tare might safely
be prescribed for all sugar imported in
hogsheads, tierces or bags. Judge May
nard says that in view of the great varia-
tons between different lots of the same
kind OF packages the department concurs
with the collector at New York in the
opinion that a uniform rate of tare on
hogsheads, tierces or bags containing
sugar is not only impracticable, but
could result in disadvantage to the Gov
eminent, for the reason that the inn
porter would still have the right to claim
actual tare.

HOW HEAT is MEASURED.
A Few Leading Facts About the Truthful
Thermometers.


detroit Free Press
Thermometers are curious Instruments, 4"
said a manufacturer of instruments
Sometimes we find one chat is all right
at certain points and at others it will vary
several degrees"
what causes the variations?"
1.-THE Irregularities of the tube. They are
frequently imperfect. At some point the
tube may be too large, and when the mer-
curry rises to that point it is depressed too
much. The tubes have to be seasoned.
This requires year or two. Glass changes
almost like wood. When it is new
it expands, contracts and warpS al
most as badly as green wood. FIRE.
quently people come in and tell Inc that their
Thermometers registered Is or 20 degrees be-
low zero when in fact it only 10 or ~
degrees below. All cheap Thermometers
vary more or less"
"How are the best thermometers made?"
"The tube is blown the size wanted, the
top being left open. The bulb is heated to
expel the air and while hot is inverted in a
cup Of mercury As the tube cools the mer-
curry is drawn up into the tube. The open
end is then closed up and the tube placed on
scale. 1t is put into water of a known
temperature and the point to which the
mercury rises is marked. A number of tests
of this sort are made before the instrument is
placed on the market"
"How can we tell whether our thermome-
ters are accurate?"
There is at Harvard university a place
for testing thermometers. They are care
fully examined at various temperatures and
any variation is marked. A certificate is
given with every thermometer examined"
spirit thermometers" continued the
speaker, "are used for very cold climates, as
mercury congeals at 80 degrees below zero
They cannot be used to measure extreme
heat, IS above q certain temperature the
liquid expands too fast. 1t boils at 160 de-
grees. For very high temperature the py-
rometer takes the place of the thermometer
The heat is measured by the expansion of
metals and the instrument will measure
heat accurately up to 1000 degrees. There
is thermometer made in Buffalo on the
same principle the pyrometer and can be
placed in the back of a watchn

Though [ believe the amount of ton
mage will be really to the advantage OF
the canal by the time it is opened, l
think the tariff will have to be material
ly reduced from the above-stated price
in order to attract it, especially If the
admeasurement of tonnage of vessels is
to be carried out in the manner stipu-
lated in the contract of Lieutenant Wyse
with the Colombian Government. If
the works are to be prosecuted In the
same manner as in the past no man can
say what the cost will be. The nominal
capital required will certainly be not less
than 1925, 900, 900, and may reach the
enormous sum of $1,000, 100000" He
then proceeds to show the advantages of
the route selected for the Nicaragua
Canal over that of the Panama ditch,
and expresses the conviction that when
work is once actually started on the
Nicaragua enterprise De Lesseps will be
unable to raise more money and work on
his canal will be abandoned.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

Under date of Guatemala, Henry G.
Hall, United States Minister to Central
America, has sent to the State Depart
ment report on the Panama Canal, and
comparison between the Nicaragua and
Panama routes made by Sylvanus Miller
OF this city, member of the American
Society Of Civil Engineers. Miller
claims that the Panama Canal is finan-
cially impracticable, and gives figures in
support OF his assertion. He says: sit
will De impossible for NJ de Lesseps to
finish the canal with a nominal capital
OF less than $500, 700, 900 to 5000, 900 900,
with annual interest and amortization
charges of ABOUT per cent. Taking the
annual business of 5000, 900 tons and the
highest price which the company is al
lowed to charge on traffic, 15f., or SO per
ton, we have this statement of probable
receipts and expenditures Interest and

Getting Rich.
bill APPS letter.

1t looks like our folks never will get rich
Somehow OF other they can't make the first
$1,000. Ii they make it they can't save it.
An Irishman was asked how he managed to
get so rich, and he said he never bought any,
thing that he was obliged to have, but our
people reverse the rule and buy most every
thing they are not obliged to have That
is the way we do at our house, and most
everybody else's that know of. We have
got rich folks ways with poor mans purse
and so we live on strain. 1t is curious
circumstance in this life that the folks who
would be most liberal and charitable with
their money haven't got any surplus to give
away. Their very habits of free living and
generosity keep them from accommodating.
There are 500 rich men up north to one
down here. They begin early to save and
economics They take care of the Titles
and before long they have the first thousand
clear, and then they are safe Our folks
begin early to keep up with society and the
fashions, and never get the thousand that is
the mud-sill, the foundation of wealth.

Queen Minolal
Your SlumbrouS eyes, and ebOn, WaVy na1r

So intricate that human hands ne'er weave
With warp and wool one-half so strange as
this,
That finds my love, while must live to
Your face-and missing, ever grieve,
MinOla!
Touch lips with mine before we rend apart
This seal that binds US, darling, heart to
And soul to soul Good-byel loves bitter
sweet!
II God had given you a fairer face,
And me the wealth of all the human race,
No thorns should lie beneath your dainty
feet,
Sad Minolai
The faint is but single drop to untold
The little SIM that on her Bonded knees
Some sanity nun asks Christ to wash away;
But, were it less-a thousand times as
small
It's faintest tinge must ever be the wall
That hides our heaven from the light of day,
Minolal
Strong hands and pitiless have forged the
chain
That bound your race. What might we
gain,
II on some desert island, hidden yet,
He should be cast, with only love to guide?
True, [ might claim you, sweetheart for my
bride;
But all the greater world must then forget
MinOla.
Lost Minola!
You were unto my life as dawn to day
The sOftened touch of moonlight ON the

The echo of a mothers lullaby
A dream of Heaven, wrought of all the bliss
The earth lost when that last fierce kiss
Had died upon our lips with our goodbye,
