Thermometers ORIGIN.

According to Sir Samuel Wilkes,
Fahreheit constructed his thermom-
eter from one made many years be-
fore by Sir Isaac Newton 'In the
transactions of the Royal Society of
1901 will be found the paper written
by Sir Isaac Newton, who was at that
time secretary to the society,"" says
Sir Samuel. "He invented the instru-
ment for measuring the degre of heat
in fluids by taking a tube and filing
it with linseed oil. On this he mark
ed the freezing point as zero by put
ting the tube in ice, and in the same
way he marked the point when placed
in boiling water. The very awkward
scale which we now use is evidently
that of Newton; for, the decimal sys-
tenn not being then in use, he took
the number of twelve to denote the
heat of the body. This he found, and
made it the starting point of his
scale both upward and downward. It
was some time after this that, fer
conveniences sake, the degrees were
divided in two, and thus the body
heat was twenty-four above zero and
the boiling point fifty-three When,
many years afterwards. Fahrenheit
made his instrument and used mer-
curry instead of linseed oil, which was
far more convenient: he again divid.
ed these degrees into four; so if the
number be multiplied accordingly, we
have PIP for the boiling point and
ninety-six for the body heat. Fab.
renheit, finding that he could get a
lower temperature than freezing
made this point zero, which brought
the numer eight of Newton's to thirty
two of Fahrenheit. In this way the
thermometer was constructed. Awk
ward as the scale is, yet it is histori
cally interesting as having been made
by our own great philosopher and
formed on the basis of the heat oi
the human body."-Exchange.

Other men have private interests

of all classes, and men of large inter
ests of every kind. They have general
iy been accustomed to keeping in
touch with their business affairs, and
they feel uneasy when they leave
them for six months legislative duty
in Washington. When congress ad-
journs they have to take up the thread
Of their affairs and to straighten out
all sorts of tangles. Some of them
find that other men are gradually ab-
sorbing their interests, and that their
presence at the capital was a costly
honor.
But there are also large class of
men who are enabled by the employ
ment of high-priced secretaries and
other assistants to attend to their con.
stituents' wants and to keep in touch
With all their affairs without great
personal labor or Inconvenience.
These men frequently drift away
from their legislative duties, and into
the allurements of vacation days. with
out care worth considering.

coNcREssMEN,s VACATIONS.
Some Hunt or Fish, But Many Prac
tice Law or Mend Their Political
Fences.

The summer vacation OF senators
and representatives are not what
some people think they are. To the
average individual the senator and
representative works" six or seven
months one year and three months
the next. They are prone to doubt
whether he works" at all, as they
have visions of him being tardy in his
attendance on morning prayers at
high neon and thend spending the bal
ance of the day swapping stories in
the cloak rooms and eating extrava-
CANT lunches with more or less mys-
terry as to the contents of his tea cup.
And they are convinced that when
congress adjourns the national legis-
latOrs rush off to the mountains, to
the seashore and to every variety Of
vacation resort, there to loll about in
luxurious ease or in strenuous sport
The fact is, says the Washington
Star, the man who holds a seat in the
senate or the house of representa-
tives has as many things to think
about in the summer time that do not
smack CT vacation ease. There are
only few of the men who hold these
[ositions who have very secure ten
ure on their places, and the good old
summer time is largely devoted to
the mending of fences by many of
them. Nearly every man of them has
to convince his constituents that it
was utterly impossible to get that pub
lie building or that river or harbor
improvement. They have to explain
to thousand men and women the
difficulties of securing public Office
under the civil service system, and to
persuade them that they have done
all that mortal man could do in order
to promote their ambitions to serve
their country in some Job a little bet
ter than they ever occupied previous
ly. There are local faction fights, too,
that have to be discussed, and inter-
ests that have to be harmonized in
order to avoid disruption of the politi-
cal machine on the next election day.
Two years is an awfully short time
between political drinks. as every rep
resentative in congress can testify
In these ways the vacation months
Of many statesman are whiled away.
There is still another and quite as
exacting task to be considered by
many Of these men who figure in the
public eye. Not few Of them are
hard pressed for money all the time.
Exery two years their campaign e..
penses have to be met, and it is no.

Some llnqual Peculiaritles.

Some familiar words illustrate that
confusion between article and sub.
stantive which has given the English
language "a newt" for IAN ewt." "A
nickname" represents IAN ekename,
an additional name; and "a nugget,
or "niggot," as 1t used to be written,
was once "a ningot," wrong version
of IAN ingot." Similarly the phrase
"for the nonce" was originally "for
then once"-for that one time, then
being the dative case of that" On
the other hand, IAN adder" and AN
orange" were "a madden" and "a
norange" originally. "An arron," also,
has come from "a Eapron" connected
with "napery"). and IAN umpire" Is
really "a numpire"-a "non-peer," a
not equal or odd man, the odd man
out who arbitrates.

CORN BREAD FAR THE BEST.
The Little Used as Food in Country
Where II is INDIGENOUS.

1T is great pity" said Judge
Hutchings OF Muskogee. |. T., that
the great mass of American people fail
to appreciate the marvellous nutritive
value OF corn bread, which is the sure
enough stan of life and which is far
and away SUPERIOR to the broad that Is
made Of wheat or any other Kind of
grain I am saying this not from an
academic viewpoint, but from person
al knowledge, based on years OF obser-
walton and experience.
ANY old hunter will tell you that
corn bread fed TO his foxhonnds will
enable them TO pursue the game long
er and farther than any other food.
and IL is the universal rule of owners
of packs TO give their dogs all the
corn bread thcy can cat before start
Ing on the chase instead of meat or
wheat bread. The tremendously long
Journeys that our North American In
dams have been known 10 make afoot
could never have been accomplished
on any other kind of rations.
"The man who eats corn bread regu-
larly may not know II, hut he is fol-
lowing a dietary system that is ideal.
Corn bread gives strength to the sys-
tenn, promotes good digestion and Is
an invaluable ally to nature. II Is
better far than the rice that the little
Japs depend on for sustenance, and
yet in the land that is the home of
corn the people ignore its vtrtues."-
