While almost any one knows about
the principles on which an ordinary
thermometer operates, there are
number of things about this apparent
ly simple little instrument which are
of interest. One of the most peculiar
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 a
single column the size of that in the
tube.
Most people, when asked how long
this would be, would probably say
from five to fifteen feet, while as a
matter of fact this column of mercury
would in an extremely delicate instru-
ment be miles in height. The reason
of this is that the column of mercury,
while it appears quite large, is really
of almost infinitesimal size. If the
tube of a thermometer is broken one
is at first at a loss to see where the
mercury goes in, but a close exami-
nation 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 mercu
ry rises. AS it has it's fat side toward
the eye it appears to be quite large,
and the convexity of the outside of
the tube, through which it is seen,
magnifes it and gives it that rounded
appearance which is SO deceptive.
The reason why the slit is so small is
to give the greatest ratio of result for
the expansion of the mercury in the
bulb.-Boston Transcript.

purchased from the contractors after they
mad already been put up in packets.
Samples of the seeds which were sup
posed TO be Used In the packets were sent
10 The department TO he examined by the
experts employed fcr that purpose They
may or may not have been of the same
standard that were used afterward in ;he
packets However. If they were up 10 the
standard so far the samples went they
were placed in the packages and distrib-
uted accordingly.
1t was deemed an excellent plan by the
Secretary that if the law could be so con-
strued the seeds should be brought h. r.
from the firms holding the contracts and
packed here by contract. The seeds were
to be subjected to examination by the d.
vision Of botany of the department and
the purchase money withheld until il was
demonstrated that they would gerrninate
fully.
The sum of s130.Oo0 was appropriated by
Congress for the purchase apd distribution
of seeds. OF this sum sl106D was stipu-
lated for the purchase and $1,000 for the
distribution. the law stipulating expressly
that not less than the $4,000 he used fer
the purchase of the seeds. 1t is estima led
that it costs ordinarily 90 per cent OF the
whole appropriation for the seeds 10 put
them up in the packages wnen done by the
department. 1t was hoped that under the
contract system, as evolved by Secretary
Wilson, the cost of putting up the seeds
would be only % or 30 per cent.
The decision of the controller would seem
to leave no room for anything but expend-
ing the whole amount Of the S110,sD on the
seeds themselves. and leaving no sum for
the packing. The remaining $4,000 will
have to be spent in distributing them.
The department will now have to adver-
tise for contractors to furnish the seeds i'm
packages. 1t is the Secretary's idea TO di-
vide the amount available among as many
firms in as many sections as possible.

Chapel Bearing the Saints Name Be-
ing Constructed in Washington.
MISS CARROLL'S MUNIFICENT GIFT
The Style Of Architecture is Rare
in This Country.
DECORATIONS FROM ITALY

Work has been resumed on the Chapel
of ST. Anthony of Padua, connected with
ST. Matthew'S Catholic Church, and as all
the necessary materials are on the ground
it is expected the chapel will be finished in
the early part of next January When COM
pleted, it will be beyond doubt the most
beautiful chapel of the kind in this coun-
try, and. besides, will possess the addition
al interest of being something of a rarity
in church architecture in America ALL
together, the total cost Of the chapel will
be about sixty thousand dollars, one-half
Of which has been donated by Miss Helen
Carroll Of this city for the decorations
alone, the rest being contributed by the
parish for building the chapel and fur
nishing some of the exterior decorations
The work of erecting the structure has
been going on for over year. but as there
was no necessity for haste only few men
were kept at work.
Form of q Cross.
To understand the location of the chapel
the ultimate form of st. Matthews Church
must be first described. AS the edifice
stands today only the central portion of the
| nave and the two transepts have been
| completed. 1t has been planned to erect
| church which will have the form of a
| crcss with the smaller, end OF the nave to
| the north and the larger end to the south,
facing on Rhode Island avenue. This latter
| is now occupied by the parochial residence,
which temporarily obscures the church, but
| when 1t Is torn down 1t will allow a far bet

| giles, formed by the intersection Of the
| nave and the transepts, there are to be

All of the decorations have arrived in the

traceries which the M chine carved stone
does not possess. 1t was shipped to this
country in boxes made of tough Lombardy
poplar, the boxes being nailed together
with spikes made by hand.
The chapel of ST. Anthony i'm Italy was
