All chiffon and sheer muslins are
fashionable for afternoon and evening
wear, in light colors as we'll as In
white. The exaggeration Of simplicity
Is seen in some of the designs that
lave only a shirred yoke around the
upper part of the skirt, shirred yoke
around the shoulders if the waist is
high necked, and a shirred top to the
sleeves. Then below the yoke On the
top Of the waist comes the flounce of
the material. which is caught in at the
waist under a broaa belt that is really

Spangled net gowns have been in
fashion so long a time that it seems
incredible they should retain any sort
of a place in fashions domains, and
yet they are almost without exception
effective, cool looking and dainty, so
that it is not surprising after all that
this summer again sees them made up
in the smartest of gowns. The pat

from those formerly used, as are also
the beads and paillettes White and
silver or black and silver are more
fashionable than anything else. The

Feeding a Great City.

Very few people realize the vastness OF
the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables
brought into the New York market every

for the consignments are usually re-
ceived at night. and by daybreak, or by
noon of the next day at the latest, this
truck must be on the stands Of the re-
tail distributors. In Pearson's, Mr.. Frank
w. Hawthorne gives a most interesting
account of the methods employed in
handing shipments designed to feed some
1000, 900 persons, and some surprising
statistics.

THE THERMOMETER SCALE.
How 1t Came to he Divided in a Way
That Appears to BE
SemSeless.

Why should the freezing point be
marked 80 degrees and the boiling
point PIP degrees on the Fahrenheit
thermometer scale? Most students
know that its inventor divided the
space between these points into $50
degrees instead of the simpler 100 de-
grees used in the centigrade system,
but few understand how this number
came to be chosen, says the Ameri-
can Inventor. A writer thus explains
the matter:
The thermometer was really invent
ed by Sir Isaac Newton. He started
his scale with the heat of the human
body and used as his instrument
glass tube filed with linseed OIL The
lowest figure on the scale was the
freezing point and the highest point
boiling water. The starting point of
this scale, as mentioned, was the heat
of the human body, which he called
by the round number u, as the duo
decimal system was then in common
use. He divided the space between the
freezing point and the temperature of
the body into II points, and stated that
the boiling point of water would be
about 80, as the temperature must be
nearly three times that of the human
body.
When Fahrenheit took up the SUBJ
ject few years later he used the New
ton instrument, but, finding the scale
not fine enough, divided each degree
into two parts, and so made the meas
ure between the freezing and boiling
points "a parts instead of II. Fahren-
heit then discovered he could obtain
a lower degree of cold than freezing.
and, taking a mixture of ice and salt
for a starting point, he counted "a
points up to body heat. BY this meas
urement he obtained s for the freez-
ing point and SO for the boiling point.
His scale now read: Zero; freezing,
s; body seat, "a, and boiling water,
So. Il will be noticed that this scale
is identically that of Newton's, only
starting lower and having the numbers
doubled.
1t was with this scale which Fahren-
heit worked for a long time, but final
~ finding the temperature divisions
still too large, he divided each degree
into four parts. Multiplying the num-
bers just given by four, the thermom-
eter scale now in use results:
The chance choice of Newton of the
figure II to represent the body heat
determined the present thermometer
scale, even as the yard, feet and inches
measures originally came from meas
ures of parts of the human body, and
as the width of the railroad carriage
was determined by the track, which,
in turn. was determined by the width
between the cart wheels necessary to
bear a load which could comfortably
| be drawn by mule.
