you follow these directions, laid down
by Harvard professor:
"a thermometer intended to register
accurately should be kept at small
height from the ground and not too
close to buildings. 1t should be in
shelter. with protection from sunshine,
rain and snow, but we'll open to the
wind. Place it, if possible, in such a
shelter on the shady side Of a building.
In a city a shelter on the roof Of 9
building is probably better than at
window in a narrow street. 1t is to be
expected, moreover, that the tempera
ture of any city should be somewhat
higher than that of the surrounding
country.
even if your thermometer is cor
rectly placed, is it a good thermome-
ter? It's hard, as 1 said before, to
make an accurate thermometer bulb
and tube or STEM The bulb of good
instruments has to be made separately
from the stem. The stem contains
very small hole, hardly big enough
to accommodate an able-bodied hair.
The rod of mercury is magnified by
the curved glass, and looks much big
ger than it is.
This stem is blown and 1t is diff
cult to blow 1t 80 that the hole is ex-
actly uniform. There is usually more
Hence, if the degrees Of the scale are
marked in uniform distances from each
other, the mercury, expanding une-
qually in the tube, will not indicate the
exact temperature. So in making fine
instruments bit of mercury that
shows, say three degrees in a tested
instrument, is introduced into new
tube and the part of the new tube COW

degrees are checked off, and so on. It's
a slow, expensive proceeding. Do you
wonder that a dollar thermometer
isn't reliable?
DO you know the way Mr.. Fahren-
heit made his first thermometers,
about $50 years ago? He wanted a
high mark and a low mark. He select
ed for the high mark blood heat, that
is the temperature that the mercury
or spirit would mark in a thermome-
ter held in the armDit of healthy
man. This high point we'd call now

he<emperature of ice mixed with salt
This, as Mr.. F. honestly believed, was
the very coolest possible cold, and it
was only our zero. He didn't live, you
see, in Ramsey county.
Then he divided the distance on the
tube between his high and low into two
dozen parts. People were great for
counting by dozens in those days. That
made very long divisions or degrees
twenty-four between our 0 and our So.
Afterward he divided each degree into
quarters, which We're accepted, for
convenience. as full degrees. This is
how our Fahrenheit instruments came
to have ninety-six degrees betweeN 0

ONE OF ERNST'S DEEDS
r. L. Ware Brings Action Against
Father Meyer.

Robert L. Ware. trustee in bankrupt
cy of Casper Ernst. now undergoing
imprisonment for embezzlement and
forgery in connection with real estate
transactions, has brought suit against

aside quit-claim deed given by Ernst
to Father Meyer.
This deed, executed to secure a note
for $4,000 made by Ernest in favor of
Manner building; on Wabasha street,
Fifth and Wabasha streets, and the
Manner building, on Wabasha street.
1t was agreed, however, that whenever
Father Meyer received the sum due on
the note he should transfer the real
estate back to Ernst.
Trustee Ware now asserts that the
deed, being still of record, operates to
give Father Meyer preference over
other creditors and should be set
aside. Mr.. Ware adds that the liabili-
ties of Ernst are 100000.

PENSION FOR A NEeRo SOLDIER

According to an Atlanta dispatch, an
interesting question IS now confront
ing Pension Commissioner J w. Lind
sey, and that Is, can negro who served
through the war in the service of the
Confederacy, draw a pension? The
problem comes up from Emanuel
county. A free n9go went to the war
voluntarily as member of Company
K, Twenty eighth Georgia, and played
a fife until Johnston quit. He was
a soldier in the full sense, but Com
missioner Lindsay has written to
Emanuel for all the facts, whether he
was regularly enrolled, drew pay, etc.
The negro is now Old and helpless and
an effort Is being made to get a
pension for h m. A case which Com.
missioner Lindsay decided adversely
was that of a negro slave who belong
ed to company as is property, hav-
ing been bought with company funds.
He went as a servant and gets no
pension. If the questions asked in re-
gard to the Emanuel county negro are
answered in "a way TO comply with the
law the old black fifer of Company K.
will get his pension,

HE THINKS SILENCE IS GOLDEN.

Speaking of Roosevelt's sudden and
enforced silence, at the dictation of
his political bosses, the Boston Herald
/ the course of a long editorial says !:
He ann unces that he will make
no speeches, and that silence shall
mark the campaign, so far as he is con
cerned. His silence will indeed mark
the campaign, as portent SO extra
ordinary aud so exceptional must sig
nallze any human event; in word, it
is an unnatural silence and is put on,
or assumed, to affect the action of the
voters. Incidentally, it is anknowledg-
ment by Mr.. Roosevelt, or by some
adviser who has prevailed with him,
that his chances of election would be
injured if he were to continue to be
himself-to be strenuous, assertive,
talkative, boasting and obvious, an
active vote hunter, an eager and some-
what noisy seeker after applause It
has appeared to him, or it has been
made to appear, that the people of
this country, Like the people of other
civilized countries, love dignity, seems
iog modesfy, self respec ing self re :
strain', and it is evident that for the
purposes of the coming election be is
determined to maintain a silence which
is not ma i've to him No one Will be
deceived by his silencs. All men will
know that it is campaign s1ler ce.
Why does he suppose that hiding his
light will do him more good than his
spectacular performances have done
for him, since all that he is has been
won by the spectacular"

ENORMOUS VOTE IS EXPECTED.


This is a year wherein every able
voter is expected to do his duty wheth
er he vote for Parker and pure politics
Roosevelt and rank rottenness; Watson
and wrong; the straight prohibition
ticket, the straight negro or any cross
breed ticket, announced among the
seven. And the popular vote will be
the heaviest ever cast in presidential
votefest.
It is generally estimated that the to-
tai vote cast in November will be In
the nelghborhood of Is, 0OO,0 If in
terest becomes intense, this figure may
be exceeded, but in any event it will
hardly be decreased.
It is we'll remembered fact that the
total vote in 1900 was only few thou
sands larger than the vote in 1896, the
figures having been respectively 49,.
$50, 653 and 1923, 1O2. The last cleo
ton was very tame one, of course,
while the one four years earlier had
been the most holly fought since the
civil war.
Between 1884 and 1892 there was an
increase of just about 100000 votes,
and between 1892 and 1900 there was
practically the same increase. At the
rate of a million votes normal increase
ever four years we could expect vote
of approximately $1,000 900 this fall,
provided that the interest IN the out
come IS at the same pitch as it was
four years ago.
That the interest will be less this
year than 1t was then can hardly be
anticipated.
There are seven presidential tickets
among which this vote is to be divided.
1t is hardly probable, according to the
best political students, that the five
minor tickets will together poll less
than 100000 while they may go above
this figure. There will be left in the
neighborhood of IA, O0O, 900 to be divid-
ed between the two leading candidates.
