Trade.Methods.

Facts came recently to the attention
Of the London Chronicle which the edi-
tor hopes do not make quite a repre-
sentative comparison between English
and American trade methods.
A manufacturer in Florence who
makes boxes Of a novel design and
character, especially suitable for jew
elers, submitted, post free, a sample
box to leading firm in the United
Kingdom, accompanying the same with
a letter. His letter, marked over with
huge cross, was returned to him with
an indignant rebuke for his presump-
ton and notice that the box would be
returned unopened.
At about the same time this same
gentleman sent letter and sample par
Gel to leading jeweler in the United
States, equally unknown to him per-
sonally, and, though the American had
to pay 60 per cent duty before he could
open the packet, he accepted ii, with re-
suits which have proved advantageous
to both parties.

ME- Assuring HEAT.
| How Science Determines Exact De-
| gree of High Temperatures.

How Science Determines Exact De-
gree of High Temperatures.
Until within comparatively recent
period the man in charge of one of the
very hot ovens used in many Industrial
operations, such, for example. as the
making Of pottery or the manufacture
Of various kinds Of gas, could only
Judge the heat of his oven by looking
at it. Nowadays, however, as a result
of the increasing demand for heat ex-
perts, pyrometry is taught as an exact
science.
Even the most expert optical judg-
ment, as was shown in series of ex-
periments made at the Massachusetts,
Institute Of Technology in Boston at
the time when heat measurement was
first being established as an important
study for the schools of technology,
could not tell the heat Of an oven of
over $500 degrees with more than APP
proximate accuracy. Pyrometry, how
ever, has invented instruments that can
exactly measure heat that is thousands
Of degrees above and cold that falls
hundreds of degrees below the zero
point.
One Of the simpler instruments for
determining high temperature is the
calorimeter. A ball Of nickel or plati-
mum is heated in the furnace whose
temperature is to be tested and drop
ped into water. The water will inn
mediately rise in temperature, and, the
change having been, noted by a Their
mometer, the amount of heat generated
by the furnace itself may be readily
calculated. Another interesting device
is small torpedo guaranteed to ex-
plode when exposed to certain degree
Of heat, and there are various mechan-
isms that may be connected directly
with ovens.
Modern pyrometry deals with cold as
well as heat and has yet other instru-
ments for measuring the lowest obtain
able temperatures. One of the most
curious of these is the SO called Their
mophon, an electrical measuring instru-
ment with telephone attachment.
The device is connected with coil ex-
posed to the temperature under ques-
ton, SO that man in the central sta
ton Of refrigerating plant can hear
reports from each without the neces-
stty Of making daily inspection Of all
the local thermometers.

scientifically Made CLASS.

In recent lecture at Oxford Pro-
fessor Raphael Meldola described the
rapid progress in the development Of
the glassmaking industry in Germany.
Since the Improvement Of the micro
scope and the telescope lay with the
maker of the glass, glassmaker, a
chemist and physician united their
efforts, and the result was the now
world renowned Jena glass. Glass can
now be made with almost any optical
properties that may be desired. The
manufacture has been placed upon a
strictly scientific footing.

G. A. Creighton Of Thomaston, Me-.

young, and now the bird is so tame
that it flies through the streets. lights
on fences, hobbies into dooryards and
is nearly everybody's pet. 1t is said
that the bird will go to the school
house grounds and wait for Mr.. Creigh-
toms boy to come out. will accompany
him home and then fly down Knox
street to meet Mr.. Creighton when he
