the pressure beneath the cup to lift
it. The cup in rising carries up the
rod, which in turn throws the ball
out of the loop. The ball in falling
strikes the bell, and so sounds an
audible alarm. To adjust the APP
paratus to different temperatures a
weight is placed on the cup opposite
to the. rod. In this way the time of
lifting the cup may be accelerated or
retarded, the range being lao to PA
degrees.

why we should vote as a majority Of us
did. The clipping is as follows:
- Query or Two,
IF Mcclellan should be elected We
are to have an armistice. How long
will 1t take to negotiate the terms, Are
we to conCede that We are invaders
and withdraw all our troops from
Southern soil? Now are we TO consti-
tute that convention? Is 1t TO De a
constitutional one? If so, months must
elapse before it can be authorized, and
then months before the delegates can
be elected and got together. viii reb-
els be permitted to vote in The border
States. and where will it meet? How
VIII the convention vOte-by States or
by delegates? Does anybody suppose
that the South will consent 10 being
controlled by the large delegation of
the loyal States. or even by the greater
number of them. This whole question
of armistice and of National Convention
to adjust difficulties. which convention
is to be controlled by Southern votes,
involves an incaiculable number of alb
surdities, and is simply the pretext for
delay, disaster, and final separation or
submission to Southern dictation. The
people, however, cannot be deceived.
The armistice they believe in is the en-
tire abandonment of war on the part
of the South. The conventions they
ask are those of the several States that
will obliterate the folly of the seceders."
