THERMOMETERS ORIGIN.

According to Sir Samuel Wilkes,
Fahreheit constructed his thermom-
eter from one made many years be-
fore by Sir Isaac Newton. I'm the
transactions Of the Royal Society Of
11O1 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
scale both upward and downward. It
was some time after this that. for
convenience's sake, the degrees were
divided in two, and thus the body
heat was twenty-four above zero and
the boiling point hfty-three. When,
many years afterwards Fahrenheit
made his instrument and used mer-
curry instead of lnseed ill which was
far more convenient; he again divjd-
ed these degrees into four; so if the
number be multiplied accordingly. we
rave 212 for the boiling point and
ninety-six fer the body heat. Fab.
ienhelt, finding that he could get a
lower temperature than freezing.
made this point zero, which brought
The numer eight Of NcWton'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 of
he human y"--Exchange

LABOR NEED AND MIGRANTS.

Commenting upon the south's larg-
er labor requirement, which has quick
ened interest in the immigration ques-
tion throughout this section, the Bal
timore Manufacturers Record says:
"The pressing need is not due en-
tirely to an actual shortage in the
number of persons able to work. In
many cities hundreds of stalwart
male negroes loaf about the streets
content to be supported by the earn
ings and the petty pilferings of their
females. Many of the males who work
at all disappear from their jobs as
soon as they have earned enough to
live on for a week, and many Of the
females in house service are equally
unreliable. For such the vagrancy
laws must be strictly and persitently
enforced"
There can be no doubt that the
labor need, at least the immediate de-
mand, could be very largely, if not
entirely supplied out Of the idleness
that prevails in the towns; il every
able-bodied man in Pine Bluff. for in
stance, should find regular employ
ment there would be no great labor
deficit in Jefferson county: if the
men who work three days would put
in six; if the odd-job man would get
steady employment; if the surplus
boot.blacks would go to cotton pick
Ing.
The trouble about the vagrancy law
is the difficulty of its enforcement;
every worthless loafer is familiar with
it's provisions, and knc ws all the tech
nical avenues of escape; and these he
keeps carefully guarded: he always
has piece Of money" that some
cook provides, to protect him from
conviction; he always has some indie
terminate job somewhere; he has just
done or engaged TO do job for Mr.
Somebody and under enc pretense or
another Slips through the meSheS Of
the law. The only means of reach
ing him is through some such compre-
hensive law as the "daneerous and
suspicious ordinance Of the larger
cities.
1t is a truth not to be controverted
that if the negro worked as the white
man works, steadily and faithfully, if
his productive capacity could be util-
lied, there would be no labor deficit
anywhere in the south ,oday. but hun
dreds OF them in Pine Bluff perform
very little labor, and what is true
here is true in other cities. The me-
gro can not be persuaded 10 the
white mans habits of industry and so
he must be replaced as an industrial
factor by white immigration.

Perfect and Not Perfect.

A little calm reflection and careful study
VI the Bible would relieve many persons
Of needless perplexity in regard to the use
of the term perfection as applied to the
Christian.
Every true Christian is perfect in the
sense of being a real Christian, and of hav.
ing all those things which are essential to
constitute him Christian. II any part is
lacking he is not a whole-a perfect
Christian. What these parts are which
ire necessary to constitute one n perfect
Christian it is not now my purpose to con.
,ider. 1t is to the necessity of ali parts
being present in order to the being of the
Take young horse for an illustration. II
here is foot missing, an eye injured or
my other part damaged or lacking. we
.annot say it is perfect horse. But il all
.he necessary parts are there, although the
inimal may be young and unframed, we
say it is perfect. But there is a perfection
t has not reached. 1t is to grow, to learn,
It may live to reach point beyond which
t cannot grow or develop. 1t has reached
its perfection. 1t was perfect horse when
It was young and small. 1t is perfect
horse, now it has reached its maturity OF
perfection.
The case is somewhat similar with the
Christian. When the sinner believed with
MS anu TeCelNeu IUe IlOlf buOSI lie
became a Christian He had all the parts
necessary and in this sense was complete
or perfect. But he is young, weak, imma
ture and needs to go on unto perfection.
This perfection is before him in the person
Of the man Christ Jesus, and he at once
commences to seek to be like Christ. All
his life long he may be developing and
going N unto this perfection. Indeed, no
one will reach a time or a place where he
can say 81 am so much like the Lord Jesus
that there is no further room for me to
advance. l have reached perfection"
In order to see this matter more plainly
II is necessary to remember | am not re-
ferring to the holiness of the Christian.
Whether he has just begun to be a Chris.
tian, or has been serving the Lord faith.
fully for many years and has made much
progress toward perfection. the true Chris
tian is "cleansed from all sin" and having
the Spirit of Christ is holy in his character
as God is holy. Holness-real personal
holiness is an essential attribute of the
Christian.
Growing out of the above is also another
fact which must be borne in mind, and
that is, the true Christian is ready to die
at any time, and is just as much entitled.
to home among the redeemed in heaven
if he die when Just converted as when he
may become very advanced His title and
fitness rest in the fact of his relation to
the atonement "IIe that believeth hath
life"
Re-read these plain words, kind reader,
and see il they are not Gear and true.
May the Lord make them blessing to
youi-A. Il. Scott.
