given to any animal of the cat family.
He is the most stocky in build of all the
cats, being very different in shape from
the more 1.-THE and fat bodied lion, tiger
and puma.
But it is his glorious colors that first
attract the beholder's attention and hold
it longest. On a ground color of rich
golden yellow, which is darkest on the
back and shoulders and grows paler as it
descends to the legs, are arranged, with
regular irregularity large rosettes of black
and brown. These rosettes are the promi-
nent distinguishing character of the jag
uar, by which any child can recognize
him instantly wherever found. The head,
top of the back, base of the tail, lower
joints of the legs and the feet are plenti-
fully besprinkled with round black spots,
not rosettes. Ordinarily the eyes are light
yellow, to match the body color, but when
the animal becomes enraged they turn the
color of green fire, and then it is high time
to get out of the way.
The jaguar is an edition de luxe, bound
in black and gold.-W. 7. Hornaday in

TO MEASURE SUNLIGHT.
The Instruments That Are Used by the
United States Weather Bureau.

The Instruments That Are Used by the
United States Weather Bureau.
Two instruments for measuring sun
light have been adopted by the United
States weather bureau, and duplicates
have been placed at every important sta
ton controlled by that service The prin-
ciple upon which this instrument operates
is essentially the same as that of Leslie
differential air thermometer in the form
of straight glass tube with cylindrical
bulbs at each end of the instrument, the
whole inclosed in a glass protecting
sheath.
Mercury is used to separate the air in
the two bulbs, small quantity being in
serted in the bottom and stem of the low
er. bulb. These bulbs are coated with
lampblack. The bulbs are filled with pure
dry air and sealed at a temperature of
about F., to secure greater density Of
the air. The space between the bulbs and
the protecting sheath is then perfectly ex-
hausted of air and is also sealed. In oper-
alton the glass instrument is mounted on
an adjustable metallic base, to which it is
attached by springing it into tubular
clamp provided for the purpose, SO that
the upper electrode shall extend through
the hole and the lower electrode through
the slot in the back of the clamp. After
the instrument has been carefully adjust
ed and attached to its support on the roof
SO that the glass tube points north and
south it is ready for ope' alton. IL is then
attached to the automatic register by
wires.
The automatic register consists of a
large paper cylinder, which is operated by
a clock mechanism, and over the face of
this paper, upon which the hours and min
utes are marked in sections, two fine self
feeding pens trace ink lines during the
period that they are influenced by the re-
corder on the roof. For instance, il it is
a cloudy day, the clear glass bulb and the
coated bulbs exercise an equal amount Of
influence on the mercurial column, but
when the sun is shining the coated bulbs,
attracting greater amount of heat, force
the mercury upward, and as it passes the
ends of the wires it produces a current
conveyed to the little pens in the register,
and the record Of the suns duration and
intensity Is marked upon the slowly revolv-
ing cylinder. At the end of every "a
hours this cylinder, or the sheet that Gov
ers it, is removed, and the operator has
then in his hands an authentic record OF
the amount Of sunlight for that dAy.--De-
troit Free Press.
