A HOMEMADE THERMOMETERS.
It is More Sensitive Than the Ordi-
nary Mercurial Instruments.


The necessary materials are a bottle
of about two ounces capacity and of
the thinnest glass that it is possible to
obtain, a long glass. tube, a yard or 40
inches in length, of small bore (1s
inch) and moderately thick walls This
tube may be purchased of a dealer in
such materials for a few cents 1t
should be of variety known as soft
glass, because it may be desirable to
bend it, and with hard glass this is a
difficult process. There is further nee
essity for a small bottle of about two
or three ounces capacity, preferably
with narrow neck that will just ad-
nit the tube above mentioned and yet
allow little play through which air
may have passage way.
The thermometer will be a rather
large affair, and it is better to fix it
permanently to the wall in some place
where it is intended to be used. Pro-
cure a cork that will tightly fit the
large thin glass bottle and perforate
with hole. into which the glass tube
may be tightly fitted also.
This operation may be performed to
best advantage with a rat-tail file,
which is first pushed through the cork
in a straight line and then the hole is
filed so as to fit the tube accurately.
The tube and bottle are then fitted to-

doing so is easily detected, for every
star-shaped piece goes to fit a special
space in the picture card. and is also
numbered. Misplacing a star dis
arranges the picture. Therefore the
player must be keen at multiplication
and have an eye out for the artistic
arrangement of his card.
Uncle Sans Mali is quite as good
an idea for fixing geographical facts
about the United States easily in ones
mind as lotto is for the multiplication
table. Two or four persons play with
dice and little printed cards and tiny
leaden engines over big railroad map
of the country and learn the chief
postal stations, where the deserts, long
bridges, tunnels and widest rivers are,
how registered mail and postal notes
and first and Second-claSS matter are
all handled and delivered. It is an
ideal game for boys, who will also find
quite to their taste the neat toy type
writer's made for the especial comfort
of school children.
These small machines, with their
simple, stout mechanism, cost all the
way from So to S12 and write a clear,
neat type on paper as wide as the ordi-
nary note sheet. Their closest rivals
for favor in the boyish heart are the
handsome polished wood boxes holding
complete yet perfecry safe apparatus
for 100 Interesting electrical expert
ments, directions for which are all
given in a book that goes with the box
Any boy who has turn for this sci
ence can get a good foundation knowl-
edge of the wonders and practical uses
of electricity from one of these boxes
no bigger than the ordinary nursery
tool chest and &C Ang So or $40.
Girls who have a natural taste for
pretty artistic work need no longer
conflne their ambitions to paint boxes,
since there are now miniature appl1-
ances in cases for making clay figures
and plaster casts. In one box comes
two cases of plaster of Paris with di-
rections for preparing for use, a set of
metal models and all the tools for cast
ing dozen or more heads and figures
| in high relief. One set of molds gives
! the faces in relief of famous American
statesmen and generals, another shows

OBJECTION TO STAGE COACHES

In 1852 there were, strange as it
seems, only six stage coaches running
in all England, and of course these
were the only public vehicles for
travellers. Even these were a novelty,
and a person named John Crosset
thought they were such a dangerous
innovation that he wrote a pamphlet
against them. These coaches" he
wrote, make gentlemen come to Lon
don upon very small occasion, which
otherwise they would not do except
upon urgent necessity. Nay, the con-
veniency of the passage makes their
wives come often up, who rather than
