Deep Sea Thermometer.

The deep sea thermometer, as invented
abroad and improved by officers of the
United States navy, ia marvelously in
genious and effective continuance. 1t is
in effect self registering instrument,
though not technically SO called. The
thermometer is SO arranged that it is ail-
tomatically turned upside down when
the machinery begins to draw it up from
the depth at which the temperature is to
be ascertained. The effect of the invert-
ing process is to break the column of
mercury, and q small portion of the col
umn remains in the upper end of the
tube, exactly enough to measure the tenn
perature at the moment of inversion.
The tube is graduated so as to read from
either end, and the quantity of mercury
in the upper part Of the tube is so small
that it does not respond to any but great
and sudden changes Of temperature. 1t
thus happens that the reading, when the
thermometer reaches the surface, is prac-
tically correct for the temperature at the
point of inversion. KANSAS City Times.

uow Newly Married Couple Were Made
Happy by an Old Bachelor.
There is many a sweet romance cher
ished by the visitor to New York that
is never dreamed of by the prosaic, ev-
eryday people of business Much Of this
romance is necessarily connected with
the hotels. In these old hotels every
room is interwoven with the history of
hundreds Of PERSONS and every time one
Of these persons is in the city the inter
est is revived in the past One day
friend led me down Broadway on some
pretext or another, and we finally paused
before the old New York hotel.
''I stopped there on my wedding
trip, he finally blurted out. my wife
wished it Her mother had stopped there
in her time and ON her wedding trip
My wife was anxious to occupy. the
same room that her mother had. We
had been married that day, and this was
our first hotel, just as it had been in
her mothers case, and my little ones
mind was surcharged with the romance
Of the thing. But, like all young mar
ried folks we had horror of being con-
spicuous and at the first didn't like to
say anything about it to the clerks. At
last however, l mustered courage
enough to look over the register just to
ascertain whether the room-we knew
the number, floor and everything, as my
bride had figured it all up in her own
mind--was really occupied. We thought
we might get into it ON some excuse or
another merely desired to crafty her.
But l couldn't find the number at all
You can't fool hotel clerk very easily
on such things, and in a little time he
had the whole thing out Of me.
" 'Confoundedly sorry, sir, said he,
but that particular room is occupied by
q regular boarder and one of the cross
est old bachelors ever knew too.
"That settled it. So 1 went up stairs
and told my wife about it. There was
no help for it. Our room was good
enough, but she thought it would be SO
nice il we could have the same one her
mother and father had. There was no
time to think much about it, for few
friends came in to see us, and we were
dragged off to a box party that evening.
When we came in, however, the room
clerk called me into the private Office
and handed me key to the cherished
room.
i happened to mention the matter
to Mr.. -, said he, not with any
idea of his giving it up, of course, but as
O curious circumstance, when, to my
surprise, he told me to tender the use of
his room to you at once He was going
away tonight anyhow, he said, for q
week and you could have the room for
week, and longer if you wanted it. So
there you are. No, he's gone You're
to take possession just as it is.
"Well, when told my wife, she was
SO excited and pleased that she cried a
little, and when we found ourselves the
occupants Of beautifully fitted up and
decorated room---a room that looked as
if somebody of taste and culture lived
in it, the room she wanted because in it
years ago her mother staid young
bride, as she was-well, old man, you
couldn't blame me much for participat-
ing somewhat in the romance. New

is declining measurably in the favor of
printers, particularly on newspaper
work. 1t is occasionally seen, however,
in Important editorials This lack of IA
vor has, it would seem, become more
marked since typesetting machines have
come so largely into use on the daily
newspapers
The increased output from the ma
chimes has a strong tendency to do away
with the use Of italic, every effort being
directed to the silnplifcation of their
product. Thus it has baen considered
good enough to put the names Of news
papers and other titles in roman on
newspapers, the composition for which
plant has been uttered, and if there has
been any comment it has been too weak
to make itself heard. The public does
not care anything about the matter. All
that is wanted is a readable paper. When
machines ere turning out thousands of
ems per hour in the usual rush to get
paper to pross, there is no time to be
frittercd away il going to an italic caso
