First thermometer.

The first thermometer was made in
1921 by Dutch physicist named Cor
nelius Van Drebbell and consisted of a
tube filled with air, closed at its upper
end. and dipping at its other extremity,
which was open, in "a bottle of nitric
acid diluted with water. As the tenn
perature rose or fell the air in the tube
increased or grew less in volume, and
consequently the liquid descended or
rose This instrument is now known as
an air thermometer, but as its measure
ments were based on no fixed principle
it was of little use.

ency. Thousands of people have seen Mr..
Jarvis at work without ever suspecting It.
When in search of a murderer or a forger
he did not stink about back doors get be-
hind posts, or indulge in any other Of the
highly wrought sensational antics of the
"ShOcker." He did not even take off his
eye glasses or exchange his silk hat for
bowler. Yet for two years he kept Mendeli
Howard under his eyes as completely as
If he had been following three feet behind
him every day. Howard steps were
logged with a certainty and science Tar
exceeding the ideas of even the ingenious
writer's of fiction. Instead of man follow
ing Howard who would have been certain
to suspect him after a little, his pursuit
was taken up first by one and then another,
and every public place he visited, and
many private ones, held spies, who watched
his every act and word. In this case the
mans associations damned him, since II is
impossible for any man to follow a career
of crime without forming connections that
must sooner or later betray him to an
astute detective.
Some of Mr.. Jarvis's brilliant captures
arose out of cases that brought him any
thing but fame Here is an instance: one
night, some four years ago, Mr. Jarvis saw
coming out of an east-end public house a
man whose face impressed him-he could
not tell why. Waiting until the FELLOW had
an opportunity of getting a little further
away, the officer slipped around a corner in
another direction and by doubling through
a passage, got where he could keep the sus-
pected person in easy sight IWlStlAS
through back streets, the pursuit wound up
at a little oil store, where the detective
saw at window the face Of a man whom
he remembered in his apprenticeship. He
walked up and down as near the house as
he dared, searching his memory for a clear
recollection of the countenance; AT last
he was able to associate it with the photo
graph of a criminal once sentenced to TWEEN
ty years. The face was little thinner then,
the mustaches were smaller, and there was
a less nervous worried expression on it.
After the man who had first excited his
suspicious came out, the officer quietly fol-
lowed him to his lodgings. Then he went
back to Scotland Yard. got out the record
of the man he had recognized and from 1t
learned by the connections suggested that

SKIN GAMBLING HOUSES.
Even Women Allowed to Play at Da-
Vid Fairs House.

The fact that open gambling has been no
torious in this city for some time has been
published frequently, particularly in the
afternoon Taggart organ, but Friday right
the skin gamblers made their best. raid of
the season. when they moved out to David
Fairs roadnouse and the Washington Park
Clubhouse, owned by Fred Kissel, Just
across from the state fair grounds. Thou
sands of people were out there, Unaole to
get in town, and the gambling houses
caught hundreds of them. Gus Rahke has
been running faro bank and craps game
at Heiers place on South New Jersey street
for several months, and the police have not
disturbed him. He had a fourteen-ye ar-old
boy running his roulette wheels OF Wash
ington Park Friday night. David Fair has
roulette wheels in his saloon in open view
from the roadway, and lured a number of
women to the place to gamble. The game
was a skin one" and Fair took all the
money.

union Cnrnenters Discharged.

E. F. Kottlowsld, who is building the
annex to the Deutsche Haus, has had an
unpleasant experience with union car
penters in his employ, as result of which
he discharged six men. There is talk of
a strike being naugurated. 1t seems that
the contractors men were not enforcing
the eight-hour schedule before beginning
work on the new building. Without giving
him warning they quit work at o'clock
one afternoon last week. The men that he
considered responsible for this We're dis
charged. The next day the other car
penters resumed work on the eight-hour
schedule, but the contractor refuses to
take all the discharged men back to work.
He says that he is not opposed to unions.
Indeed. he says, he helped organize the
first Carpenters Union in this city. While
he has always employed union men, he
does not propose to let them run his bust
ness without consulting him. Mr.. Kott-
lowsSi says that if he had been consulted
he would have adopted the eight-hour
schedule, but he thinks the men acted UNI
fairly in quitting work an hour earlier
than usual without first informing him of
their intentions.
