space between this and the temperature
of the body into twenty-four parts. The
great length of the divisions caused
him subsequently to divide them into
quarters. which subdivisions were, later
on, termed degrees" By this subdi-
vision the freezing point became 81 de-
grees and the blood point SO degrees.
Fahrenheit afterwards made a mercur-
ial thermometer, and carried the subdi-
vision Of the scale up to the boiling
point of water, which he found to be

as alcohol boils at a much lower tenn
perature than water, obviously such in
struments were totally unreliable for
temperatures of more than 40 degrees
(by Reaumur's scale), and consequently
they soon went out of use. A man by
the name of Deluc subsequently made
mercurial thermometers, and graduated
them on Reaumur's plan. Reaumur's
name was then connected with them,
and the thermometers, manufactured by
Deluc, but stamped "Reaumur." We're
put on the market. They acquired local
popularity, and their use gradually eX-
tended throughout Germany, where they
are still popularity in demand.
Beside Great Britain, her colonies,
and the United States, Holland is the
only country where the Fahrenheit scale
is still in popular use.
The Centigrade scale is the only one
officially recognized throughout the
world to-day, and it's use is obligatory
in all official communications, etc, in
all lands except Great Britain, her col,
onies, and the United States. Even in
these 1T is very largely used by scienti-
fic men and by government officials in

The greatest annoyance experienced

Montana Jockey Who Is Winning Fame
2. s. in California.
THE San Francisco Examiner of Jan.
26 says: ~
Jockey John Bulman, who rode
Cromwell in his record breaking mile
and an eighth at Oakland yesterday, is
the most talked of rider hereabouts at
present. pullman is from Montana and
his California experiences as a horse
pilot date back to the last state fair.
when on the opening day he rode Koko
a 4O-to-1 shot, to victory. He is re-
garded as an excellent judge of pace
and clever hand rider.
'Bullman's speciality seems to be win
ming on the outsider in three horse
races. He was first on Myth GO to y
at Ingleside, beating Morello and Sar-
donic: first on Balista Us to y at Ingle-
side, beating Corsine and Survivor, and
first on Cromwell Is to ~ yesterday at
Oakland, beating David Tenny and
Frohman. He also won on Lady Hurst
at Ingleside, beating Sardonic and
Rainier. This was the Lakeside stakes
for which Sardonic was 3-to-5 favor
lite and Lady Hurst 9-to-5 second
choice.
I'm the races referred to, all of which
were run during the past couple of
weeks, pullman has ridden against
either Thorpe or Skeets Martin and
sometimes against both"

Messrs. Smyth & Rice, who will present
H. A. Du Souchet's merriest farce,
THE Man From Mexico" at the Mar

of the quaintest Of American come

Man From Mexico was originally
brought out at Hoyt's theater, New
York, but his success was SO pronounce

Golfers wit is witty and his COM

"a Bunch of KEYS"

Hoyt's Bunch of Keys will be at
the Margaret next Sunday night. This
greatest of all farce comedies was writ
ten by Charles Hoyt-it was his first
effort and laid the foundation of the
eminent senator's fortune. Each year
Mr.. Hoyt turns out one or more of his
admirable skits. All have been more OF
less successful, but without doubt the
Bunch of Keys" is so far his MASTER
piece. Manager Bothner always pre-
sents it with a clever company and is
continually brushing it up and intro
ducing up-to-date features. Ada Both
ner will play Teddy. We all know hel
and love her for her cleverness.

Pendergast.

Nose La Fontise Knocks Out Pugilist
Pendergast.
The following is a special dispatch
from Sacramento in the San Francisco
Chronicle of last Friday:
THE fight between Pendergast and
La Fontise came to sudden termina-
ton just as time was called at the end
of the 18th round tonight. La Fontise
was the aggressor throughout, but Pen
.dergast evened up matters considerably
by his counters. Just before time was
called in the 18th round La Fontise,
with terrific left swing, landed on
Pendergast's jaw, breaking it short
off, and when his seconds realized the
situation they threw up the sponge"
The La Fontise referred to in the dis
patch is Nose La Fontise, who formerly
resided in Anaconda. He is we'll known
in Montana and has had several con-
tests in this state.

as scout that night and there was little
danger of our getting past him unno-

fly the next morning. These gentry
had followed along the road to catch

PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
Bevan Appears Indifferent to the Charges
Against Him.


Against Him.
Great Falls, Aug. 16-"Is that all of
them?' That is what Mark Henry
Bevan asked Justice Race this morning
when the latter read to him three ad-
ditional complaints charging him with
the larceny of three additional amounts,
which, taken with the first, aggregate
1,756.37, which the railway company
says he has stolen from it while he
was acting as the cashier of the freight
house in this city.
Yes, that is all there is now" re-
piled the judge. Isn't it enough?"
Il didn't know" said Bevan, but
what there were a few more. l plead
not guilty to each and every one of
them"
Bevans sat at his ease, smoking a
good cigar and apparently keeping up
an outward semblance of Indifference.
There is no doubt of his nervousness,
but he seems very much like man
who believed that he was able to prove
his innocence. AS he has had good
reputation in the past, 1t is impossible
to believe that his sangfroid arises
from the hardened conscience of a
concerted criminal.
The charges filed this morning, I'M
like the first complaint, which was
signed by A. ]. Smith, auditor of the
surety company, were sworn to by p. d.
Ba DCOCk, travelling duultOT Vi the uIe eat
Northern. The railroad authorities say
that Bevan has been relying upon the
fact that the statement of the actual
account between the Great Northern
and the Great Falls & Canada was
not in existence He began under the
impression that it was burned up dur
ing the recent fire that destroyed the
narrow gauge freight depot, but in
stead of being burned up this state
ment was saved and was procured
from the Great Falls & Canada COM
pany yesterday. The railroad company
claims to have a clear case against
Bevan and have the books all checked
with the exception of a few freight
but on which the money has not been
collected These will probably be
Strengthened out to-day and the full
amount of shortage known. The &C.
cused man formerly worked for the
Great Northern or Montana Central in
Helena, and prior to being bill clerk
there was employed by the Wisconsin
Central at the time the late Tom Nc
Laughin was general agent in Mon
tana.
The first complaint to-day charges
that Bevan on or about July 10, being
then the bailee, agent, servant and
cashier for the Great Northern Rail-
way company. took $215.07 with the in
tent to embezzle the same and appro-
pirate it to his own use, with the intent
then and there to deprive the Great
Northern Railway company Of proper
ty of the amount stated. The second
complaint charges the appropriation of
1921. 80 on or about the 9Th day of July,
and the third, the appropriation of
$1,000 on or about the 18th day of July.
