DEGREES.
The Scale by Newton and
AmpIi6ed by Fahrenheit.

Why should the freezing point be
marked - degrees and the boiling
point 212 degrees on the Fahrenheit
thermometer scalef Most students
know thai its inventor divided the
space between these points into 1S0
degrees instead of the simpler 100 de
grees used in the Centigrade system,
but few understand how this number
came to be chosen. \ writer thus ex-
plains the matter:
The thermometer was really invented
by SIR Isaac Newton. He started his
scale with the heat of the human body
and used as his instrument n glass tube
filled with linseed oil. The lowest fig
ure on the scale was the freezing point
and lie 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 l., as the duodecimal system
was then in common use. He divided
the space between the freezing point
and the temperature Of the body into
l. points and stated that the boiling
point of water would be about 30, as
the temperature must be nearly three
times that of the human body,
When Fahrenheit took up the subject
a few years later he used the Newton
instrument, but, finding the scale not
fine enough, divided each degree into
two parts and so made the measure
between the freezing and boiling points
p parts Instead of u. Fahrenheit then
discovered that he could obtain n low.
err degree of cold than freezing. and,
taking n mixture of ice and salt for a
starting point, he counted 81 points up
to body heat. BY this measurement he
obtained S for the freezing point and
SO for the boiling point. His scale now
read: Zero, freezing. S; body heat, "A,
and boiling water, 80. 1t will be no
ticed that this scale is identically that
of Newton's. only starting lower and
having the numbers doubled.
1t was with this scale that Fahren-
hcit worked for a long time, but final
ly, finding the temperature divisions
still too large. he divided each degree
into four parts. Multiplying the num-
bers just given by four the thermome-
ter scale now in use results.
The chance choice Of Newton of the
figure u 10 represent the body heat
determined the present thermometer
scale. even as the yard, foot and inch
measures originally came from meas
ures of parts of the human body. and
as the width of n railroad carriage was
determined by the track. which in
turn WAS determined by the width be
tween the cart wheels necessary TO
bear a load which could comfortably
be drawn by a mule.-American In
yentor.

AND {
Criminals RH IA Rule Are the slaven
of Superstition

Some Of the most notorious criminals
who, 1t would hardly be thought, paid
the slightest attention to omens, good
Or bad, have The greatest faith il SUI
perstitions of all kinds.
The burglar is n believer in the sig
niiicance of dreams and has been
known TO relinquish n big bnrgling feat
If a dream the night before has warned
lin that he will be in danger should he
disregard the warning. If he saw Il
rainbow he would consider ii 10 por-
tend that, however reckless he may be,
he is not likely 10 fall into the hands
Of the police for a space of three
months. Burglars have been known to
carry a donkey's shoe in their pocket
before turning out. believing that this
will protect them from danger, while
others pin their faith TO a piece of coal,
which they will carry in their pockets
throughout their career and afterward
bequeath It TO a confederate.
The p%ickpoeket is equally superstl-
tious. It is said he will not rob a per-
son who squints, this being accounted
a sign Of disaster, and il it happens
that the purse he robs contains foreign
coins it is believed to augur that he
will travel a good deal in the immedi-
ate future, whether in the company of
a couple Of officers or not there is moth
ing 10 show.
Weddings and funerals are pregnant
with meaning for the professional thief.
To pick a pocket at a funeral would be
to court immediate disaster, whereas if
n purse stolen at a wedding contains
gold it portends the best Of luck for
the thief during the ensuing six months.
Some p%ickpockets have a fayorite
pair OF boots that they wear as long as
they can keep them on their feet, and
If they are not arrested while they are
wearing them they cut the boots up
into little square pieces and give them
away as lucky tokens" to their pals.

FanaticaI

Morocco, in spite of its close prox-
unity to Europe, is the most fanatical
of the Mohammedan countries. Chris
tians are hated by the natives through
out the country, and it is often very
dangerous TO go outside the town of
Tangier. The business of Morocco is
entirely in the hands of the Moorish
Jews, who amass considerable wealth
in the coast ports. 1t is not prudent
for a Christian TO stay anywhere but in
the Jewish quarter. At the capital,
Morocco City, and Fee the natives ex-
pectorate and hurl stones at the for

no Christian is safe in the streets I'M

sentinel and Hussnr.

Two well known military terms,
sentinel and ''hussar,' afford capital
instances of the remarkable name in
which a nation does its word twisting.
At first sight there seems little connec-
ton between the Latin word sentina,
signifying the hold of a ship, and IA
soldier keeping watch over his sleeping
comrades. The connecting link is af-
forded by the word sentinator, the
Roman VINO pumped the hold of Ce-
sar's galleys free of bilge water. Upon
his constant vigilance depended the
lives of the entire ships company.
Similarly the word ''hussar'' is mere
ly a Hungarian term signifying TWEEN
tieth." 1t arose in this manner: When
Matthias Coryinus became king OF
Hungary in 145S he was extremely
afraid of foreign invasion. He eonse-
quently raised an army by the simple
expedient of Communicating every
twentieth individual in the land; hence
the hussar.

THE EYES,.

Black or very dark eyes denote a CO.
pacity for extreme ardor IN love.
Greenish tints in blue or hazel eyes
are the signs of wisdom and courage.
Steel colored eyes usually denote a
cold nature, also deceit aud t~reachery.
Russet brown eyes, untinged by yell
low, mean an atfeetionate and gentle
disposition.
Dark blue eyes while indicating af-
lection and purity, do not represent in
t~elleetuality.
Variable gray eyes are highly intel
lectual and indicative of an impulsive
and impressionable temperament.
Clear light blue eyes,, especially II ac-
companied by steadfastness of express
sion, denote e~heerfulness, amiability
and constancy.
Tawny eyes denote fickleness. Eyes
of no particular color, only feeble
shades of gray and blue, go with lynn
phatic dispositions, characterized by
GOODNESS, selfshnass and listlessness.

Telling Time by the Porch

The Oldest system by which men
have told the time of day is sundials.
There are sundials still in existence
since long before the Christian era. In
fact, they have been found in Egypt
dating before the p%haraohs. The In
dams and wild nations told the time
by the position of the shadows of
trees or mountains. The Chinese have
carried the art of sundials to perfec-
ton and even today use pocket sun
dials instead of watches. One Chinese
matchmaker has arranged his front
porch In such a way the shadow of the
posts tells the time by which to regu-
late the watches.-Ada Paterson in Pill

Smoke slowly and Avoid Cancer

From the medical profession comes a
warning to smokers. If you wish to
avoid tobacco cancer don't smoke fast.
After careful observation it has been
practically determined that this form
of cancer Is caused by the irritation
resulting from the heat Of the cigar or
pipe. Men who smoke long stemmed
pipes, it Is said, do not have cancer.
no matter how much they smoke. while
those who indulge in cigars or short
stemmed pipes are afflicted by this
malignant growth.
Tobacco cancer caused the death of
General Grant. lie was an inyeterate
smoker, and he smoked very fast. At
the battle of Shiloh he is said TO have
consumed fifty cigars. In smoking a
large number Of cigars in n short time
