BIG THERMOMETER PLANTED.
1t Is Seventy Feet Long and win
Measure Earth's Temperature.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Winchester, Mass, Sept 11.-Col Knight
of Harestock is having placed in his
grounds thermometer seventy feet long,
for the measurement of the earths tenn
perature. 1t is placed in shaft eighty
feet deep. The plan is to determine the
temperature at that depth for a long pc
riod. The largest thermometer made pre-
vious TO this one was that made by Forbes,
who built one measuring nearly forty feet.
This was considered a great accomplish
ment, and Forbes thermometer became
one of the curiosities of science. With
the new thermometer the temperature of
the earth can be taken at twice the depth
1t has been possible to take il heretofore,
and the records obtained will prove of
unusual value in science

TWO VACANCIES
TO BE FILLED,
Exciting Times Are Expected Dur
ing the Provincial Elections
ON Vancouver Island.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
VICTORIA, Il. c., Dec. 4-There is GO
ing 10 be another hot time in provincial
elections on Vancouver island. There are
now two vacancies, one IN the government
side and one on the opposition. The first
was occasioned by the resignation OF Mem
Der NELL. who was elected for the mining
district of Alberni. He accepted pay for
work for the government, contrary 10 law,
which provides that no member of the
legislature shall do SO. This action led to
much comment on the part of the oppo-
nents OF the government. who said NELL
was either knlye or a fool. Now today
the announcement Is made that Robertson
representing the farming district Of Cow
lchan, has resigned his seat on the oppo-
sition side OF the house for the very same
reason that Neili did. TIE opponents Of
the government are now looking for some
where 10 hide themselves from the COM
ments OF their opponents. who ask them
what Robertson is. There will be contests
in both districts. as the gain or loss OF a
seat to either side means so much to both
parties, the present government hoping to
retain power by n ma jorty OF but two at
this moment. To gain the Cowichan seat
would give them two more on a division
while TO lose Alherni would make tie The
situation is the most unique in the history Of
the province. The government is aiOpt-
ing a policy of retrenchment and reform
antagoniZing some Of the old timers in the
outlying districts, but gaining ground with
the people In the cities. It is likely that the
coming session Of the legislature which
meets on January ), will be the hottest on
record.
