Two thermometers hanging in the
rear door of Hayes drug store varied
four degrees in registering the ten.
peratureSaturday at noon. One showed
l degree below zero and the other
showed 5 below. The thermometer
on the east side registered s below.
The latter Thermometer is the one by
which the record is kept. Unless a
thermometer is absolutely accurateiu
its construction, it is worthless. Very
few thermometers in Wellington
register together. The inaccurate
readings Of thermometers is explained
by p. Connor, the Kansas City weather
observer, as follows: "a common
defect in thermometers, is that the
bore of the tube is not absolutely uni
form throughout its leHgth, so that
equal volumes Of mercury do not cor.
respond with equal distances on the
scale. For example, the thread OF
mercury which measures the length
Of ten degrees 10 one portion of the
scale, may by slight contraction in
the bore extend the distance OF eleven
or twelve degrees in another part, Or
cOntrariwise; it may only extend eight
or nine degrees on account Of increas-
ed diameter Of the bore. This is a
very common fault in cheap Their
mOneters. Concerning the popular
fancy that thermometers exposed to
the wind read lower he says: "That
is a belief so affectionately enter
tanned by the average citizen that it
seems almost cruel TO undermine it.
1t is not proper, however, to accord
the same degree Of sensitiveness to
thermometer exposed to the wind as
it is the human body. The latter is
very porous, aud is kept more or less
moist by constant emulation through
the pores, which moisture is taken up
by the much drier atmosphere in con-
tact, and the sudden evaporation
causes sensations OF cold. A ther.
mOmeter bulb experiences no such ef-
feet unless artiicially moistened. The
lowest temperature accompanying
every general and severe cold wave is
recorded after the wind has ceased TO
blow, usually on a clear, still morning
which goes to show that it Is not the
effect of the wind movement. Imag-
inc If you will widespread change
taking place covering half dozen
states, or dozen for that matter,
then If the wind theory be correct the
atmosphere should be cold and warm
in spots on account of some local iDfu-
ences which cause greater wind move
ment 10 some places than 10 Others,
which, is certainly not the case in
winter time. A thermometer directly
exposed will reach the lowest point a
little earlier than one sheltered from
the wind, for the reason thai the
particles of air in contact with the
bulb are constantly renewed, thus
taking away its heat, while the par.
TALLY sheltered bulb loses its heat
less rapidly because Of the slower
circulation of air PARTICLES. 10 a
short time however, it will get as
low as it neighbor."

THE STRIKE SITUATION.

The great furnaces of the smelter tiust
at Denver are now cool and works that
cost millions to build are idle. The en-.
ployees at the Grant and Globe smelters,
acting under orders of Ex-Governor
Grant. raked out the fires Yesterday and
IN a business.like way put ALI orderly
:. stop TO the great industry in which thous.
ands of men have found employment.
The dispute has SO far been an amicable
one. the trust insisting that it can only
pay by the hour and the men demanding
days pay at the old time and wage
schedule for eight hours work. The ex
governor is9desirous that the constitu
tionality of eight hour law shall first be
passed upon by the supreme court and
in this hope labor's representatives join
him. At Pueblo the Gugg genheims have
conceded the eight hour day and the
same has been done by ID. H. Moftat al
his great chlorination works at Florence.
The Leadville smelters all belong to the
trust. so they have been closed, also. 1t
will thus be seen that the strike is one in
voiving vast numbers of citizens and if
continued long one that will involve the
mining industry In almost total suspen.
sion. 1t is well to recall that we have
been congratulating ourselves year after
year that the cost of smelling has been
gradually but surely on descending
scale. while the wages Of miners remain
the same as they were when smelling
charges were four times the present rates.
II is an anomalous condition brought
about by competition in smelling and the
maintenance Of miners unions. That a
clash would come some day was clearly
