The THERMOMETER.
From SO Degrees Below i'm siberia to 120
Above In the Colorado Desert.

From SO Degrees Below i'm Siberia to 120
Above In the Colorado Desert.
The lowest mean temperature that
occurs anywhere, or at any season on
the globe, occurs in January at Wer-
kojansk, in Northeastern Siberia
Here the mean for the first month in
the year is CLIP degrees below. For
the same period the temperature is
forty degrees below over the region
situated little north of the mag
netic pole. At We:kojansk the Their
mometer has registered over eighty
eight degrees below zero. Gong to
the other extreme the Nautical Mag
azine 1inds that the atmosphere OF
Colorado river desert has shown a
maximum of 12O degrees, and this
will give a seasonal variation over
the land of upward of 200 degrees
Fahrenheit, against less than one
third of that range over the water Of
the Atlantic. The comparative con-
stancy of the oceanic temperatures
moderates the Chronological condi-
tions of approximate land masses
very considerably and the disparity
/ .
cold is still less marked when the
seaboard is swept by warm ocean cur
rents. The mean annual vempera-
ture of the British islands Is quite
twenty degrees higher than it
would be did its temperature de-
pend upon the latitude alone. This
/ is. of course, owing TO the influence of
the gulf stream, which is calculated to
pour into the North Atlantic some
thirty-eight cubic miles of warm
water per hour. The heating effect
of this current upon the atmosphere
of the North Atlantic is best seen by
comparing the position of isother-
nal lines with the same temperature
lines in the South Atlantic. Thus,
in the month of January, the isotherm
of thirty-four degrees runs in almost
straight line from Boston to lee
land and from Iceland across to the
Norwegian coast. At its most
northerly limit it just impinges
upon the arctic circle. Thus the
mean temperature of thirty five de-
grees is found in the coolest month
at a distance of siXty-siX and one
half degrees north of the equator. In
the South Atlantic during the month
OF July, the midwinter month, is
othe m of thirty-five degrees is prac-
tically identical with the fiftyth par
allel of latitude. Contrasting the
temperature for the midsummer
months, it will be seen that while in
the South Atlantic the isotherm of
fifty degrees, has "a mean latitude OF
forty-fve degrees. the same isotherm
in the North Atlantic passes over
the middle of Iceland, and from there
runs in straight line to the North
Cape of Norway in latitude seventy
two degrees.

II he had not been so much in love
Temple would have seen that the lit
tie coquetries by which she was tor
menting him were merely the evil
dences of girlish perversity, added TO
little natural pique at the idea of
leaving the profession which she,
the soldiers daughter, thought the
noblest for a man. UnluolSily she
had not time to relent, for at that mo-
ment she caught sight of her fathers
face at his bedroom window. Snatch

Temple. however, could not see
things in this light now. With an
air of deep gloom he followed her
into the house, where he was met by
Cameron, who looked miserable and
anxious. The latter beckoned his
brother into the diningroom.
''Have you got her promise to per-
suade her father to go away?" he
asked.
Temple had forgotten all about
this.

news has upset Eliza. For it turns
out that she was Mrs. Hutchinson:

and began to eXpostulate.

The Army of People Who Explore tho
Rubbish on Paris Streets.


Rubbish on Paris Streets.
The wealth OF Paris is so boundless
that the rubbish and refuse of the
city is worth millions, says writ
err in Harper's Magazine There
are mere than 500 persons who
earn living by picking up what
others throw away. Twenty thou
sand women and children exist by
sitting and sorting the gatherings of
the pickers, who collect every day Of
the year about 1900 tons of mer-
chandise, which they sell to the
wholesale rag dealers for some 20, 900
francs. At night you see men with
baskets strapped on their backs, a
lantern in one hand and in the other
a stick with an iron hook on the end.
They walk along rapidly, their eyes
fixed on the ground. over which the
lantern filings sheet of light, and
whatever they find in the way OF
paper, rags, bones, grease, metal,
etc, they stow away in their baskets.
In the morning, in front of each
house. you see men, women and chill
dren sitting the dust-bins before they
are emptied into the scavengers'
carts. At various hours of the day
you may remark isolated ragpickers,
who seem to work with less method
than the others and with more in
dependent air. The night pickers
are generally novices; men who, hav-
ing been thrown out of work, are
obliged TO hunt for their living like
wild beasts. The morning pickers
are experienced and regular workers,
who pay for the privilege of sitting
the dust-bins of certain number OF
houses and of trading with the re-
suits. The rest, the majority, are the
coureurs, the runners, who exercise
their profession freely and without
control, working when they please
and loafng when they please. They
are the philosophers and Adventures
of the profession, and their chief OBJ
ject Is to enjoy life and mediate upon
its problems.

she greatly over-estimated. Her hus-
band, perhaps, would have missed her
fidgety attentions; but her sons, duti-
full as they on the whole were. dreaded
the ordeal of fearful questionings
concerning their health to which at
every meeting she subjected them.
The appalling odditY of her dress was
partly the result of rigid personal
economy pursued to allow the gentle.
men of the family more money to
waste. and partly the expression OF
her opinion that a woman OF "family"
was above the aid of dress.
Mr.. Monk. imaginary invalid and

The Letters.

A writer in Science denies that the
letter Y is lineal descendant from
the Roman Y, which, in the time Of
Cicero, was borrowed from the Greek
alphabet to represent upsilon in the
translation of Greek names. The
latter is only used, he says, as avowel
to transliterate upsilon in loan words,
either direct from the Greek or indi-
rectly through Latin or French. In
a great majority of cases the English
Y is a semi-consonant, corresponding
in value with the Continental j. Along
with the other Roman letters, Y was
adopted by the Anglo-Saxons from
the Latin alphabet, with a value ap-
proXimating to that of i. In fact, he
claims that there is not a lineal de-
scendant of the Anglo-Saxon word
now in existence. The letter in
modern English words is, curiously
enough, he claims, not at all, but q
lineal descendant of the Anglo-Saxon
G, which was the Roman G, evolved
by the Romans out of an earlier Q.

There is a household in this city
tor at present, the mother having
gone away on a visit to some rela-
tives for a short stay, says the De-
troit Free Press.
The neighbors have commented
upon the order which reigns among
the Juveniles, who are in charge of a
nurse, while the father is down at
the office during business hours.
Discipline is maintained, however,
by an intermediary-the telephone.
"Mr. Blank" the nurse says when
the fatherly ear is turned on, willie
says he is going out skating, and you
know he has cold"
"Send him to the telephone" 0om-
mands Mr. Blank. "Is that you,
Wilhe?"
"Yas, papa.
ado you want a jacketing when I
come home to-uight?'
mo, papa"
Then you stay In the house, sir,
or you'll get one, sure"
Then Mr. Blank goes back to his
desk and takes up customer at the
precise point whore he drope5d him.
The other children are disposed of
in the same way, and unless tho
telephone wires are cut there will be
no danger OF any refractory child
having his own way while papa rules
the roost-not much.
