An Electric Thermometer.

A new thermometer has been invent.
ed, designed especially for determining
the temperatures of difficult or inac.
cessible places, such as the bottom of
the sea, etc. Its action depends upon
the well-known fact that different con-
ductors of electricity vary IN their re-
sistances at different temperatures,
and at different ratios. 1t has also
been applied to measuring the tenn
perature of steel tape, used to estab-
lish a base line, instead of ascertain
ing the temperature of the air, as was
previously the custom.

necessity-of genuine invigorator at this
spring season has impressed itself on the
attention of all thinking people.
In the famous laboratory of Dartmouth
Medical School, Prof. Edward f. Phelps,

Paines celery compound, remedy that has
become the standard nerve-restorer, blood
purifier and strengthener from one end Of
the country to the other, a preparation that
stands unrivaled as the medicine that
makes people well
1t is a fact much commented upon that
men and women of national reputation and

Montreal, Rev. FRI Ouellet, Com Howell,
ex-Minister to Austria John M. Francis,
and a host of others who are careful what
they employ when sick and have the
amplest opportunities for finding out what
is best, have of their own accord sent letters
describing fully their permanent recovery
from rheumatism, heart weakness, sleep

diseases of the stomach and liver. In all
these Ca s Paine's celery compound was
the one remedy that was able to completely
