MAKING OF
IHERNOAE IERS
Delicate Operations by Which
They are Corrected.
SOME TESTED YEARS
First Marked by Being PIung-
ed Into Snow.
SOME TESTED YEARS

The making of a thermometer may be
either a delicate scientific operation or
one Of the simplest tasks of the skilled
mechanic, according to the sort of Their
mometer made. With the extremely sen
sitive and infinitely accurate Instruments
designed for scientific uses great care
is taken. and they are kept in stock
for months, sometimes years, to be COM
pered and recompared with instruments
that are known 10 De trustworthy.
But so much time cannot be spent
over the comparatively cheap thermom-
eters in common use. and these are made
rapidly though always carefully. The
method OF manufacture has been so
systemized within few years that the
very cheapest thermometer should not
vary more than a fraction OF e degree
from the correct point.
Whether the thermometer is 20 be
charged with mercury or alcohol, wheth-
ct it is 10 be mounted IN a frame OF
wood. pressed tin or brass. the process
is substantially the same. Mercury is
generally used for scientific instruments.
but most makers prefer alcohol. because
il is cheaper The alcohol IS colored
fade.
The thermometer maker buys his glass
in long strips from the glass factories.
The glassblower on the premises cuts
these tubes TO the proper lengths. and,
with the gas set and blowpipe. makes tho
bulb on the lower end. The bulbs are
then filed with colored alcohol. and the
tubes stand for twenty-foar hours

We've Been Busy

Our Pre-Inventory Sale is closing out
quantities of merchandise at very small prices
and bringing great many new customers to
our store The last week has been more like
Christmas week than August. Good values
and low prices never miss the mark, never
dissappoint, but always increase the business

GOOD SENSE.

THE following sensible artical
was published in the Prescott Cou-
rier:
"The Courier, ever in sympathy
with the laboring man, has never
been able to understand the logic
or justice of sympathetic stake,
which makes the just employer
the friend of labor, perhaps-suf
fer for the cussedness Of some
other man, and also throws II lot
of men out of employment who
have no personal grievance what
ever. Money is the sinew of war,
whether it be an actual clash Of
arms or peaceful strike of labor.
Hence, reason, justice, business
and generalship would suggest
that, instead of going on sympath-
etic strikes men keep at work
and contribute from their earnings
to the cause Of the men who are
on strike because they have a
grievance. No set Of men and no
individual man can afford to ride,
rough shod, over a true friend;
for by such course will all friends
be made enemies or opponents.
The Just man, the friend Of labor,
who is made the victim Of q
sympathetic strike and who has
business damaged or ruined there.
by. will not thereafter loom up as
Il very strong champion Of or
ganized labor. Few innocent
men are willing TO suffer for the
guilty, Christ is said to have
done something Of that sort, but
he was more largely endowed
with the spirit Of God than the
commonplace employer of men
today"

4 PECULIAR DECISION.

Judge Cunne Of Chicago recent,
made q decision, which though il
may not be very good law, is
marked by as much originality as
Solomon's baby ease,
A collector for a packing firm
was charged with embezzlement.
His salary was SIS a week. Some.
times his collections would am
mount to $4,000. The prosecution
wanted to have him sent TO the
penitcntiary. The judge was more
merciful, and here is the manner
in which he disposed Of the case.
He said:
"When you gentlemen ask ii
man to take such a responsible
position at such a small salary,
and where he is called on in the
performance Of his duty to collect
such large amont of money,
knowing that he has Il wife and
two small children, you are sim
ply inviting him to commit IA
crime or at least exposing him to
temptation; l cannot permit him
to be sent to the penitentiary l
will fix the shortage at Sl4 and
send him to the county Jail for
three days. I believe West is a
good man. Had his salary been
even So more he never would have
been exposed to the temptation,
and the strength of the invitation
to commit a crime would have
been lost to him."

1T has turned out that the re-
turned assessment is niger this
year than last, although not so
high as left by the Board OF
Equalization. 1t is understood
that this is mainly due to the
fact that large number of names
were omitted from the roll. This
couldsnot have been an oversight;
there are too many names and
some Of them too prominent. Of
course Assessor Merrill is held
responsible for the work done
and of course will be hold account
able, yet it is said he is not
directly blameable except for the
appointment Of some deputies.
Some of these, it is said, imposed
upon him shamefully; drew their
pay and failed to do their duty.
SO for as the assessment went it
is understood to be alright. By
the lime the missing names have
been added to the roll the as
Sessment will be higher than it
was laStyear.

"If the manhood of the miners is TO
be maintained they must at least have
bread for their wives and little ones
as well as for themselves. The de-
clared attitude Of the presidents of the
