Anather Pyrometer.

Still another form of pyrometer Is
described in the technical papers. This
arrangement is based upon the we'll
known principle that two different
metals in contact produce current of
electricity when the junction is heated,
this current increasing In strength in
proportion to the temperature of tho
junction.; it follows that the current
sent through galvanometer becomes
measure of the temperature of the
junction. II, therefore, such juno
ton is put in hot place, say fur
mace, and connected by wires to q
galvanometer at distance, the tenn
perature of the furnace can be read of
the scale, or rs is done in this new in
trument--rccorded on band Of pho-
tographic paper by beam Of light
reflected from the needle OF the gal
vanometer. In view of these facts,
resort to the employment of platinum
for one metal, and an ALLOY of platinum
with ten per cent of sodium for the
other--a combination by means of
which, Il is found, the temperature
can be correctly measured up to The
melting point of platinum.

Do You Wish.
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lghtest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime sui
phuric acid and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal. which is absolutely pure.

The ElephAnt's Sense.

Why an elephant should be afraid of
a mouse is a mystery. Some have
doubted the generosity of the elephant
because of his aversion to small animals.
but none can doubt his intelligence.
Button, Notwithstanding his idea of the
mere mechanism of animals, spoke of
the elephant ds at the same time a mir
acle of intelligence and a monster of
matter" Ernest Menault happily re-
ferred to him as the animal that carried
his nose in his hand. Hence the mar
velous intelligence of his trunk. The
senses of touch and smell cooperate.
The nerves which extend through his
trunk are so numerous that they equal
in number all those distributed over the
rest of the body. The elephant can keep
perfect time to music. He has the ear
perfectly organized, and the hearing is
extremely fine. The eye of the elephant
is distinguished from that of other ami
mails by the pathetic expression of senti-
ment Take him all in all, naturalists
agree that he is the most intelligent of
animals And why should he be afraid
of a mouse:--,ew York Tribune.

The next time your journey leaves you
stranded in the great and delightful city
of New Chicorkadelphia on the Sabbath
day, if you should so to the Church of
st. Indolence-I can recommend it as
having the slowest singing and the soft
est pew cushions with a preacher to
match, in the city-you will see the fol-
lowing Suggestions to Worshipers:'
Fall or slide in the pew nearest the
aisle. Stay there. Do not sit erect, but
lop. Rest one elbow on.Ae arm of the
pew and support the siue of the face
with the outspread palm.
do not rise during the singing of the
hymns. The fact that you played tennis
or baseball on Saturday afternoon or
walked four or five miles around a bill
lard table Saturday night entities you to
little rest on Sabbath morning.
Extend your legs as far under the
pew as you can without sliding off the
seat. Gracefully and politely cover your
mouth with your hand while yawning
during the sermon. If the minister is
looking at you, cover the mouth with
both hands, and at the close of the yawn
bring your jaws together with cheer
full snap.
After looking at your watch always
turn your head and gaze longingly and
earnestly toward the door:
DO not move if a stranger, accom-
panied by his wife and daughter, at
tempts to enter your pew Permit them
to climb over your legs. no matter how
much it may annoy you
DO not annoy strangers who may en-
ter the church by looking at them or
even glanciGe in their direction. If they
really want Il seat, they will fni enc
without the intrusive interference Of
other people.
AT the close OF service remark aloud,
but to yourself, that you are hungry as
a shark and set off for home at brisk
trot. "-Rob.t J. Burdette in Sunday
