are seeking an opportunity to throw an
explosive shell into opposing ranks.
And what else, except shell holding
within Cleveland S fabrication, called a
tariff discussion, could be hurled by the
Democrats against their rivals, the Re-
publicans And what should the
latter hurl back at them /? Should they
accept the challenge, when they recog-

affirmation of what they have formerly
expounded to the people
The Republicans have retired for a
little while from the battlefield, leaving
it in possession of men, who certainly
are eager to protect the country's vel
fare and to foster its prosperity, but
who, to all appearance, must gain much
and more experience than they possess
at the present time. The democratic
war-cry, 'tarif-reform , proves this.
It was but a while ago, when they
shouted '.turn the rascals out !, when
they named every Republican states
man scoundrel, and now they would
even 90 so far as to assert that the
whole Republican party is one without
platform, when the facts of the case
prove, that the one they strive to adopt
is one long included as one of the ar
ticles Incorporated in the constitution
of the Republican party.
It will help them not to raise the cry
on such subject, for the people would
recognize from the start that it was
done but for political capital, and to
force such an all important topic to
consideration Of politicians only would
deal the interests of the country blow,
from which it could only rescue itself
again if all conditions were realtered,
if it assigned again its care to the able
hands of that party, which has in re-
cord of quarter century demonstrated
its fitness to rule, dictate and protect.

across Il chasm in the rocks on the shore.
From this is suspended a large paddle.

issues from the Lake of Constance, the
Rhine, with 4 width of $50 feet and

Under the Daisies.

1t Is strange what deal of trouble we take
What q sacrifice most of lis willingly make,
How the lips will smile though the heart may
ache,
And we bend to the ways of the world for the
sake
OF its poor and scanty praises.
And the time runs on with such pitiless flow
That our lives are wasted before we know
What work to finish before we go
70 our long rest under the daises
And too often We fall in useless fight,
For wrong is so much In the place of right,
And the end is SO far beyond our sight,
TITS as when one starts on chase at night,
An unknown shade pursuing
Even so do we see when our race is run
That of all we have striven for little is won,
And of all the work that our strength has done
How little was worth the doing?
SO most of us travel with very poor speed,
Failing in thought though we conquer in deed;
Least brave in the hour of our greatest need,
And making riddle that few may read
OF our life's intricate mazes.
Such labyrinth of right and wrong,
Is 1t strange that heart once brave and strong
Should falter at last, and earnestly long
For a calm rest under the daisies?
But II one poor troubled heart can say
Her kindness softened my lifes rough way,
And tears fall over the ifeless clay
We shall stand hereafter in brighter array
Than if all earth rang our praises;
For the good we have done shall never fade,
Though the work be wrought and the wages
paid,
And the weared form of the laborer laid
All peacefully under the daisies

The Thermometer.

The thermometer in its crude form
was invented by a Hollander named
Cornelius Drebbel, who, it appears,
made the first instrument, which he
called cheat measurer, in the year
1888. His thermometer was simple
enough, and had numerous defects,
consisting of glass ball at the top of
a long tube, the lower and open end
being placed in a vessel filled with
water, colored by solution of nitrate
of copper. This instrument was i'm
proved upon, and its defects gradually
removed by others; but IL was
HALEY, the famous English astrono-
mer, who first proposed the use of
mercury as fluid for the Their
mometer.
There are now three kinds of
thermometers in common use
throughout the world; but the form
invented by Professor Daniel Fahren-
heit, an ingenious German, in the
year 1903, and from whom the in
strument has been named, is the one
generally employed in this country,
and with which nearly every intelli-
gent family in the land is provided,
though the "centigrade thermometer"
is really the most convenient and is
now adopted in all countries as the
standard scale for scientific reference
and like the metric sytem, its general
use in this country is doubtless
merely a question of time.
Mercury boils and eyaporizes at a
temperature of 662 dogs. Fahrenheit
and for obtaining any higher
temperature than this metallic in
strument called the pyrometer is made
use of, but its indications are unreliable
and yet it remains to discover some
more accurate method of measuring
dogs. of heat higher than 600 degrees
by the Fahrenheit thermometer. At
temperature of 80 degrees below
zero mercury freezes and becomes a
solid mass malleable under the ham
mer, and for lower temperatures,
pure alcohol (spirits of wine) colored
red with carmine, is usually employed
but as in the case of the pyrometer,
its indications cannot be depended
upon for accuracy. Fahrenheit was

possessed by mercury as a fluid for
the tube of the thermometer. Mer-
curry as an excellent conductor OF
heat, is vastly more susceptible to the
changes of temperature than all other
fluids. It is much more easily OBJ
tanned in a perfectly pure state than
alcohol, which even when prepared
with the greatest care, often contains
air as well as other admixtures and
alcohol is sometimes rendered
thick by great degrees of cold, and
under the higher degrees of heat it
expands exclusively and ununiformly.
In the Fahrenheit thermometers
the space between the freezing and
boiling point of water is deyided into
1870 equal parts or degrees, the
former being 81 degrees and the latter
212 degrees above zero, which was so
called by the inventor from the fact
that he supposed it to indicate the
point of absolute cold, or the very
lowest degree that could be produced
and measured by any instrument.
But the lowest degree of cold possible
to be obtained is now estimated to be
523 degrees and the greatest artificial
cold ever produced is SO degrees by
the Fahrenheit thermometer. The
zero point of a thermometer does not
indicate the total absence of heat, as
commonly supposed and the term
seems to imply, for an absolute zero
of temperature has never yet been at
tanned, and has only been approx
mate determined, though it is con-
sidered convenient as an ideal start
ing point The zero Of Fab
renheit thermometer is the tenn
perature of mixture of ice and COM
mon salt, which is usually employed in
the operation of freezing ice cream.
The zero point of a thermometer
should always be carefully verified,
unless the instrument is known to be
correct. To do this, immerse the
bulb in a vessel filled with snow or
pounded ice, and press slightly a layer
of several inches around it, SO that
the stem, which should be exactly
perpendicular, is covered with snow
as high as the freezing point on the
scale. Do this in a room, the tenn
perature of which is above the freez-
ing point, as that point indicates the
temperature of melting snow. Then
in about half an hour read it, taking
care to have the eye exactly per-
pendicular to the column of mercury,
and moving the thermometer freely
about in the mixture. In case the
top OF the mercury and the freezing
point on the scale do not correspond,
note the difference. Some instru-
ments are so constructed as to admit
of loosening the screws and sliding
the glass tube holding the mercury
up or down distance equivalent to
the error, but it is not advisable to
make frequent mechanical changes Of
this kind. The correction above in
dicated should be applied to each
reading of the scale Arthur X.
