A slender Thread of Mercury.

While almost any one knows about
the principles ON which an ordinary
thermometer operates, there are a num-
Der Of things about this apparently SIM
pie little instrument which are not gen.
orally known, and which are of good
deal of interest. One of the most pecul-
lar of these is the question of the
length of tube which the mercury in the
bulb of an ordinary thermometer would
fill if it were all stretched out in sim
gle column the size of that in the tube
Most people, when asked how long
this would be, would probably say from
8 to 10 feet, while as matter of fact
this column of mercury would in an ex-
tremely delicate instrument be miles in
height. The reason of this is that the
column of mercury, while it appears
quite large, is really of almost infin-
itesimal size. If the tube of Their
mometer is broken one is at first at a
loss to see where the mercury goes in,
but close examination will disclose a
fine line, much thinner than hair,
running across the end of the tube, and
this is one end of little slit in which
the mercury rises. As it has its fiat side
toward the eye it appears to be quite
large, and the convexity of the outside
of the tube. through which it is seen,
magnifies it and gives it that rounded
appearance which is so deceptive. The
reason why the slit is made so small is
TO give the greatest ratio of result for
the expansion CT the mercury in the

Her majesty intended appearing on
horseback and every precaution was
taken to insure her safety by properly
training the royal charger on which she
was to be mounted. Lord Melbourne,
the prime minister, took exception to
the arrangement and urged that it
would not be proper for her majesty TO

which he is very fond. He also polishes
the brass portions of the harness and
engine-house. All the assistance he
requires in washing windows is to have
some one move the pail of water for
him. He is particularly useful in clean
ing transom windows, as he can hold
on to the window-sill and is not
sramped for room. The monkey is
tremendously fond of potatoes, and
will eat them cooked or raw, but pre-

he knows that his labors are to be re-
paid in this way. Soon after his ap-
oearnce in the engine-house, the mon
key was named Jim, and this name is
satisfactory to him and he will respond
when called. He is of small size, like
most of the monkeys used by organ
grinders. He learned to wash windows
by himself. He saw a man using the
sponge and water and observed him
narrowly for time. When the man
was called away for a short time, Jim
took the sponge and tried the task
himself. He succeeded admirably, and
has since that time been regularly en-
ployed as window-washer. He refuses
to work a second after the noon bell
rings, but scampers down and demands
his meal of potatoes. Jim has been al
the engine-house for two years. and
seems content to STAY there.
