THERMOMETERS.
The Bulbs, the Tubes and the Mark
Ing of the Degrees.

There are many different uses for
thermometers and as many different
styles MS uses They range from the
tiny half inch tubes attached 10 Christ
mas calendars to the enormous twelve
foot Instruments used In experimental
work by mcteorologists
Perhaps the most difficult part OF
the manufacture of thermometers IS
that of fitting the tube with Il bulb Of
exactly the right capacity. The size
of the latter must have an exact rela-
ton To that of the former Ii il Is too
large for the bore the mercury ur col
ored alcohol, whichever Is used viii
not rise high enough In the tube; if
too small, II will rise too high In the
little clinical thermometer on whose
story the physician depends so often
for his decision the bore Is 81 fine that
n human hair can hardly be inserted.
Az these thermometers must be- reg
ulated To record infinitely the tempera-
turc, the person ON whose Judgment
depends the size of the bulb to be at
tached must he II highly skilled work
man. The men who do this part of the
work have to be highly paid
The marking of the degrees on the
hollow tube Is the step next i'll i'm
portancc In the making of the little
curse and blessing The process is 50
simple That one can prove the accuracy
of II thermometer for ones SELF by
the same method. The freezing point
IN secured by immersing the bulb In u
box Of melting Ice and the boiling
point by attaching 1t to IL steam pipe
ar immcrsing 1t In boiling water.
Scratches nrc mnde ON the tube at
the points reached by the mer-
curry under these two tests, and the
space between il then marked off
into 100 spaces for IL centigrade Their

the first instance Mt zero and In the
second at 81 This makes the boiling

to dcterlurntc IN value rs they age,
owing to contraction of the glass of
the bulb. The amount of the error can
be determined by immersing the bulb
in melting Ice and making Il mark for
the new freezing point. TO insure the
accuracy of thermometers the manu-
facturers usually store them for year,
testing them from time To time, New

Politics in Potter.

Potter county has more politics to
the square inch than any other county
in the state and usually at this time of
the year it gets shot" We notice
among the names filed as candidates
two Republicans who are popular with
our citizens.-Hon. A. R. Moore for
Representative, and Henry E. Page for
County Treasurer, both of whom are
popular throughout Potter. Without
wishing to dictate or interfere with the
politics of Potter, it looks to us as
though both Mr.. Moore and Mr.. Page
would met the demands OF Potter.
The former has made an excellent
Representative, looking carefully and
energetically to the needs, of
Potter. He should be accorded the re.
nomination without a contest.
Mr. Page for County Treasurer, was
formerly citizen of Emporium, com
ing here in the early 70s from New
York and entered the employ of the
then w. n. Y. u Z. r, r., as engine
wiper rapidly rising to engineer. He
married in 1873, Miss Alice o. Taylor.
Of Emporium, daughter of d. II.
Taylor, who was m esteemed citizen of
this place, where they were all re-
spected Mr.. Page is especially close
to Emporium, being for many years
member of our Masonic fraternity and
the A. o. U w. The nomination of
Mr.. Page would be an exceptionally
strong one and the many former Cam
eron county citizens, now residing in
Potter county, will no doubt cordially
support Mr.. Page. We hope to hear
OF Mr. Pages nomination.

made him power in the land. His
friendship for the late lamented Nc
Kinley, was a beautiful example of
friendship, when the late President
met financial misfortune that came
near bankrupting him, his friend
stepped into the breach and saved his
property. His friendship continued
for the lamented President until he
saw him elevated to the Presidency

confidence and respect. When the
laboring man, of state or National

his unselfish devotion to public inter
