FAHRENHEIT THERMOMETER
Origin of a Scientific Instrument in
Everyday Use,

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Sir Samuel Wilks, writing to knowledge
gives the history of the origin of Fahren-
heits thermometer, which Is generally
used in this country. It was really in
vented by Sir Isaac Newton, and the start
ing point of his scale was the heat of the
human body. Newton's paper Is TO be
found in the philosophical Transactions"
for the year 1101. He describes his instru-
ment IS a glass tube, filled with linseed oil.
and to it he attached a scale to measure
the degree of heat of the liquid into which
he plunged 1t. His lowest point was that
of freezing, as his highest was that of boil
ing water. He chose for the starting point
on his scale the heat of the human body.
and this he called by the round number 10
the duodecimal system being then In use-
that is, he divided the space between the
freezing point and the temperature of the
body into twelve parts He further stated
that the boiling point would be about 80. as
1t was nearly three times that Of the hu-
man body.
few years afterward when Fahrenheit
was working at the subject of heat he
took Newtons instrument for his experf-
ments, but, finding the scale not minute
enough, ne divided each degree into two
parts, and so made it "a degrees instead of
u. He also did more, for, finding he could
obtain lower temperatures than freezing,
and notably that of ice and salt mixed to-
gether. he took this for his starting point
1t was from this point he began to count
"a degrees up to body heat. This made. by
his measurements, the freezing point.
Boiling point he made 53. 1t then became
zero; freezing. 8; body heat. "A and boiling
wafer. 53. This was really the same as
Newt0n's, only the scale started lower and
the numbers were doubled. Later on find
ing that he could measure increments of
neat more minutely, Fahrenheit divided
each degree INTO four parts. 1t will now be
seen that If the numbers just mentioned
are multiplied by we have the thermom
eter which is now in use

Right and left puzzle-Note: To move" is
to slide checker from one space to a va

checker over another one to get it to a va

Jump" checker or opposite color" over

2. After you Jump with one color you
must then move or' jump, as may be nee
essary to proceed, using a checker of the
same color as that of the checker used. At
the tenth move, however. you cannot fol-

checker that can be moved next you viii
have no trouble. The rest of the moves
are easily seen Start, in figure 1, with

a Curious Occurrence.

Wee Willy Nilly ran gaiIy away
10 green grassy woods one fine summer day
80 weary she grew, the sweet little maid
She lay down to rest in the COOL pleasant shade
now what happened next Is certainly queer
Ana sadly perplexed the poor little dear
but, strange though 1t be, really can't doubt it.
for Willy herself told me all about it.
She scarcely was settled, and taking her ease
When birds circled round her in focks from the
trees.
While squirrels and rabbits and like quadrupeds
Stared seiemnly at her stood on their heads
The birds chirped and chattered and futtered their
wings.
The .beasties turned handsprings and did lots Of
things
At last Il pert bunny climbed up on a stump
And cried, willy Niily is such sad gump!'
Then wee Willy Nily arose in dismay
Determined to drive the rude rascals away
But presto! before she could speak in her fright
The whole saucy circle quick vanished from sight

Washington, April 12.-GovernoI
Dole of Hawaii has arrived here to
confer with the president, at the lat.
tiers request, regarding conditions in
Hawaii pending Legislation affecting
the territory and other matters. Gov.
ernor Dole said:
There is some complaint among
business men of Hawaii on account OF
the tightness Of the money market.
There r no failures or assignments
OF importance. The enterprises, how
ever, are too large for the available
capital. The Ha# allan government is
limited by the revenues. which are in.
adequate for carrying on necessary
public improvements. The current
revenues are sufficient only to carry
out the administrative expenses. The
last Legislature failed to enact iegisla,
ton for needed loans. The country
lost a large part of the revenues at the
beginning Of the territory by the
transfer of the customs revenues
amounting to about S1,200,000 to the
federal government. But we are get
ting along. The territorial govern,
mient is doing something In the way oi
public improvements, but nor so much
as ought to be done. The government
