A heavy snow fell that winter, and he filled the well with snow balls. He rolled up balls until they were large enough to go into the well cieverly and then dumped them in until 1t was packed to the top. They were packed so closely that they did not melt until late the following summer. but when they did they produced a supply of water l never saw surpassed for purity, softness or coolness. It was delicious.
 Strange to say, this well, always dry before has produced a plentiful supply since. The water, while not as good as that from the snowballs. is still excellent. and celebrated throughout the neighbor- hood.''

FAHRENHEIT THERMOMETER.
Origin of a Scientific instrument in
 Everyday Use.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
 Sir Samuel Wilks, writing to Knowl- edge, gives the history of the origin of Fahrenheit's thermometer, which is gen. erally. used in this country. It was really invented by Sir Isaac Newton, and the starting point of his scale was the heat of the human body. Newton's paper is to be found in the philosophical Trans actions" for the year 1701. He describes his instrument as glass tube, filled with linseed oii, and to 1t he attached scale to measure he degree of heat of the liquid into which he plunged it. His low est point was that of freezing, as his highest vas that of boiling water. He chose Tor the starting point on his scale the heat of the human body, and this he called by round number 12 the duo decimal system then being In use-that is he divided the space between the freez- ing point and the temperature of the booy into twelve parts. He further stat ed that the boiling point would be about thirty, as it was nearly three times that of the human body.
 A few years afterward, when Fahren- heit was working at the subject of heat. he took Newton's instruments for his ex- periments, but finding the scale not mi mute enough, he divided each degree into two parts, and so made it "A degrees in- stead of J2 He also did more, for. find ing he could obtain lower temperatures than freezing, and notably that of ice and salt mixed together, he took this for his starting point. 1t was from this

 Tn heavens name, what does it all mean?" I asked.

 I snatched it from him, and I read, written in faint but rounded characters: T like to hear your voice. It sounds kind. It Is like a far-off tune. To drop asleep. though, as I am doing now, is sweeter music-but read on.-I have taken something to make me sleep, and by mistake I have taken too much; but you will read right on. Now, mind you, this Is not suicide, as God listens to the whisper of this pencil as I writei I did it by mistake. For years and years have taken the same thing. This timeI took too much-much more than meant to-but I am glad. This Is the second favor I would ask: Go to my employers tomorrow. show them this handwriting, and say I know for my sake they will take charge of my affairs and admins ter all my estate in the best way. suited to my mothers needs. Goodbye. my friend-I can only say good night to you when I shall take your hand an in- stant later and turn away forever
 Through tears I read it all, and end- ing with his name in full, I turned and looked down on the face of this man that I had learned to love- and the full measure of his needed rest was with him; and the rainy day that glowered and drabbled at the eastern windows of the room was as drearily stared back at by a hopeless womans dull, demented eyes.

 Time changes all u fings. and time Is changing the public and private estimate of trees in this country. When the pio- netrs caJhe upon a vast wilderness the trees was. as much opposed to their mak- ing comfortable livelihoods as were the copper-sfinned savages. They made war upon the forest with more zeal than judgment; they slaughtered and laid waste. With such beginnings of the peo- plc their constituted authorities have been slow to make laws for protection of mere trees. though gradually the worth of the latter have come to be un- derstood by many.

when the companys announcement be-

on the part of the company Immediately
became matter of Interest. DID the

quency of burglaries in Minneapolis for
the last two years? was the question.
Local officials Of the company replied to
inquiries that no reason. had been as
signed for the order received from the
central Office Of the company. They could
not say positively that distrust of the
adequacy of Minneapolis police protec-
tion was the cause of the action taken.
They did not hesitate to admit, however,
that it was possible, and even probable,
that this was the reason for the issuance
of the order. -.
One of the local officials of the company
said that he had no official notification
of the reason why the company had de-
cided to discontinue it's Minnesota busi-
ness in the lines mentioned. He admit
ted, however, that losses on burglaries of
mercantile establishments and residences
were heavier than the average in Min
neapolis It was possible, he said, that
the managers Of the company had not
found Minnesota business profitable. This
theory seemed more probable from the
fact that the company will continue to
write bank insurance as before.
