for about week all Japan is one grand
dolls tea party. And the festival then Is
over. and all the best dolls. even the pres
ents to the little girl, are put caxefuIly
away, never to be even looked at for a
whole year.
Then at the first of May comes the boys
festival-the fish festival it is called. Ev-
cry family that's lucky enough to have a
boy puts up a fagpole in the dooryard; Or
perhaps. several families combine to use
the same pole, and have it a bigger hand
sorner one than one family could afford.
On the top of the pole is gilt ball. OF else
a basket with something bright and tim
selly in it, And flying from the pole. in
the brisk spring winds, is whole string
of carp, made of oiled paper or cloth,
painted in bright colors. and anywhere
from five to fifteen feet long. Each fish be-
longs to some particular boy. and the carp
Is chosen because 1t Is big strong fish,
and not only can swim against the most
rapid currents. but In it's eagerness to get up
stream will leap straight up waterfalls
The gold ball means q treasure. which the
carp. leaptng and struggling, buffeted by
the wind, is forever trying to reach And
the whole thing means that the boy, when
he's q man. will have to battle his way as
the sturdy carp struggles up the river
The fishes look very pretty and gay, fly
ing over his house, and the boy gets many
treats at fish festival time.

which We now use is evidently that Of New
ton. for, the decimal system not being then
in use, he took the number IL TO denote the
heat OF the body; this he found and made
it the starting point OF his scale, both up
ward and downward.
at was some time after this that, for
the sake of convenience the degrees were
divided into two. and thus the body heat
was 81 above zero and boiling point So.
When, many years afterward, Fahrenheit
made his instrument and used mercury in
stead of linseed OIL which was far more
convenient, he again divided these degrees
into four, so If the number be multiplied
accordingly We have 2l2 for the boiling
