Mercury is generally used in thermome

traction and expansion. II is' indeed, i'm
possible to make spirit thermometer that
will be as Trustworthy as one In which
mercury Is used. In . mercurial ther-
mometer the degree marks are oil the
same distance apart, because the expansion
under ell conditions is uniform. But 10
spirit Thermometer the degrees are wider

Rradusted to the requirements OF the tube
to which il is fitted, so tha, every correct
thermometer inust have special scale oil
it's own. That is to say. it wouldn't do
to put the tube Of one thermometer 10 the

cheap grades Of thermometers such sccur

price, according to the way in which 1t Is

As every one knows, the Fahrenheit
scale il that most commonly used In this
country. Fahrenheit arbitrarily assumed
limit OF cold which he termed Zero
This makes the freezing point 329 above
zero and the boiling point 2l20 above
zero. As matter OF fact, however. in
northern ATTITUDES the temperature in win
ter fre quen,ly falls below the zero point,
80 that there is nc scientific reason why
the zero point in the Fahrenheit scale
should be where 1t is. much more
scientific scale is that known Us the Cent?
grade, which markes the point at which
water, freezes as zero, and divides the space
betv cen that and the point at which water
boils into 1909. In the Reaumur scale
zero marks tbe freezing point and eighty
above zero the boiling point Many SELF
registering thermometers are now used.

CRUELTY MURDERED.

A New Hampshire Girl Dragged from Ter
Moth sr's Arms and shot by . Crazy
Assassin.
HANOVER, N. H.. July 1s-As Miss
Christie Warden, accompanied by her
mother and her sister Fannie and
Louise Goodell, were returning on
foot to their home, located l mile
from the village at late hour
Friday night, Frank Almy, about
80 years of age. jumped into the
road IN front of them and, seizing Chris
tie by the arm. said: II want YOU"
The mother and sister attempted to de-
fend her. Almy fred at them,
but missed. They ran for as
sistance. Then Almy dragged his
victim to the bushes from the
road and shot her twice through
the head. one shot tearing out her left
eye. When help arrived the girl was
dead and her body was stripped of
nearly every article of clothing. Almy
had fled. Miss Warden was a beau
tiful and most estimable young
woman about 25 years old, a
graduate of the State Normal
school, aud popular teacher. Almy
was former employe of her father.
and his attention to Miss Christie had
been repulscd. She was the daughter
of Andrew A. Warden, a wealthy
farmer and leading citizen. 1t was mid.
night before the news reached the
village. Sheriff Foster is sending
out searching parties in all di-
reetions- Almy is about 5 feet 10
inches tall, has dark mustache, and is
of pleasing address and we'll educated.
The father of the murdered girl offers a
reward of $500 for the capture of the
murderer. The town will undoubtedly
offer an additional reward.

great difficulties to be overcome in build.
ing this road lies in the fact that Jaffa,
being seaport at the sea level, the
railway will need to climb a height Of
eight hundred meters to reach Jerusa-

grade of very nearly forty-seven feet to

NINE DEAD
And Forty Wounded, the Result Of
Labor Troubles.
Coke Strikers Attack the Morewood, Pa,
Plant with Deadly Effect.

Thursday morning about 800 rioters
at Morewood, Pa, approached the COM
pany's stables, intent upon making
raid upon the deputies who were sta
toned there. Mons Of the rioters would
heed the deputies entreaties and at
once made q rush for them when the
deputies opened fire, killing seven and
wounding forty of the Hungarian strik-
ers The night was of inly blackness,
but the guards were apprised of the
movements of the attacking party by
confused muttering in foreign
tongue or subdued orders from
the leaders. Under the orders of Capt.
Loar the sixty-five guards stood quietly
In line before the works, their Winches-
ters peacefully ''at rest" Suddenly Q
break was made by the advancing mob
toward the fences Of the company. A
stern order to halt was given, but the
only attention It received was the fir.
ing Of three shots by members Of the
mob, which whistled warning close
to the heads Of the guards, each
one Of whom was well drilled, and
was simply there to obey orders. After
the shots were fred by the strikers they
turned and made Q dash toward the
stables Of the company. Without firing
q shot the guards were ordered to fol-
low, and the command was again given
the strikers TO halt They only retreat
ed further down the road, ard answered
the order with yells and threats. Again
was the command given, and again
came the mocking answer, and the
order to fire was given by Capt. Loar.
The volleys from the Winchesters were
well directed, but few rounds were
necessary to drive the frightened riot
ers back into the hills, where hundreds
of their fellow-strikers had gathered In
anticipation Of assisting In the raid, but
not In battle with such determined
band of guards The firing on both
sides continued only three minutes.
The volley from the guards had terri

ers, while the latter made an attempt to
return the FIRE with what few
weapons they possessed, but with

men concerned In the riot died
In strikers houses near the More
wood works, where they had been
dragged by their fellow-rioters These
two deaths make nine in all that are
known as the result of the firing of the
guards, but there is no doubt others are
either dead or in a critical condition, as
the guards had orders to fire to kill, and
evidently did So More trouble is ex-
pected and one regiment of militia
has been ordered TO the scene Of trou-
BILE. The dead are Italians and other
foreigners
