said seriously, and seriously received. If the
master of the house is person of Importance
and offers to his guest fruit with stones or
pits, such as peaches and cherries, the guest
must put the pits in his pocket, IN order not
to appear to refuse anything the host Is good
enough to offer.
If melon is served, the manner of emitting
it depends upon the caste to which the cutter
belongs.
Sentiments are regulated by custom, as well
as by their expression. Thus. if in the
course of visit, refreshments are offered to
the guest, he must drink the first cup with
an air of profound thought" the second with
a satisfied expression"
The 'Li-Ki'' has many pages devoted to
the ceremonial of mourning. Grief must at

raj.

King -Kiang who was SO wellbred that, hav-

How to Train a Crow

Repeat the same lesson and nothing else
every time you visit him or pass within hear
ing for week or ten days, and, if your crow
doesn't talk in that time. he probably never
will; Generally they will begin to practice
to themselves the first or second day of their
imprisonment, but once a word or phrase is
learned, others will quickly follow.
If really talented, you can make your crow
appear to answer any question. For instance,
call his name gently and add 'fWhat?" in a
called, he will respond WHAT" with just the
same emphasis and infection that he heard
you give. Then, again, if you say, cts din
ner time" whenever you feed him, some day
he wiR~walk into the house hungry and grave
ly announce. ''It's dinner time"
AS he grows in years and knowledge your
crow will develop variety of thievish and
amusing tricks too numerous to mention
He will cultivate the most friendly acquaint
ance with some people, and show an unac,
countabe animosity toward others. He will
attend you part way whenever you leave
home, and, if your hours of return are regu-
lar, will probably meet you at the same spot
and welcome you exuberantly. Every time
he fails to do 30, look for him at once; he
will either be in some utterly enhancing bit
of mischief or else dead.

when thermometer encounters high tenn
perature the mercury rises in the tube and
occupies more space.
L dare say that many of you have noticed
Thermometers which had in them reddish
fluid instead of mercury. This is colored al
cohol and we shall consider the comparative
merits of this form of thermometer with the
ordinary mercury one later on.
L shall now tell you how these little ther
mometers are made; but, before doing SO, let
me refer to an experiment figured in Fig. /.
This is called Gravesand's experiment.: a is
an iron ball, which will go through the circle
with ease; a is subjected to heat, and af-
ter while it is found that it will no longer
go through as it did, is, therefore, left
resting on c, and as it cools it falls through.
This. serves very aptly to show the expan-
sion OF a body with heat, and its subsequent
contraction on cooling. Of course, bodies
which absorb moisture do not expand in heat
ing-e. g., wood-they rather contract.
1t occurred to scientific men that as certain
things expanded under the influence of heat,
the amount of expansion might be made to
represent the degree of heat applied. Solids
change in too slight degree to lend them
selves to purposes of measurement of fine
graduations of temperature; gases, on the 9th
er hand, are too much affected by variations
of temperature to be useful for practical pur-
poses
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-01

perature is known technically as the "freez-
ing point"
The first thing to be done, then, with our
thermometer is to see at what level its freez-
ing point stands, l. e., how high the mercury
rises when the bulb of the thermometer is
plunged into melting ice.
This point is scratched on the glass with
diamond; but this fact is not enough to have
ascertained 1t has also been demonstrated
that, at a certain pressure of the air, steam
given off from boiling water is always of q
constant temperature. 1t is necessary to OBJ
tain these conditions to ascertain what is
called the 'eboiling-point' of our thermome-
ter. A special apparatus is used, which is so
devised that the whole of the thermometer as
well as the bulb is enveloped in steam.
Of course the mercury rises to a Certain
height, and this level also is recorded on the
glass tube in the same way as the freezing
point"
Thus we have two fixed points from which
to take a start in making our thermometer;
but own sensations are acute enough to
distinguish between freezing and boiling, in
the general acceptance of those terms, so we
must subdivide the distance between the
freezing and boiling-point in our thermome-
ter, and we may do so in various ways.
| dare say that many of you have noticed
on the thermometer at home, that the scale,
as it is called, is printed on the frame of the
thermometer, and the letter is placed at
the top or bottom of the scale.
This letter f is distinctive; it is the first
letter of the name of the chemist who invent
ed the particular scale to which it is append
ed. His name was Fahrenheit.
Now, Fahrenheit found that he could arti-
ficially produce much greater cold than that
of melting ice, by means of a mixture of salt
and snow.
He therefore called the temperature of

Let us find out what the thermometer does
by first taking short lesson in calorics. Sup
posing you took three basins, one having very
hot water in it, the second ice water, and
the third moderately tepid water.
Now, if you placed your right hand in the
cold water, and your left hand in the hottest
water, and after holding them there some
time, put both your hands in the tepid wa
ter, to the right hand it would feel warm, to
your left hand it would feel cold.
Which hand are you to believe?
Assuredly there is failing somewhere, and
it lies in the fact that you cannot be sure of
the previous temperature of your hand be-
fore feeling a body
Now the thermometer is not to be deceived
IN any way by sensation; it will always give
the same record for the same degree of heat.
And L must caution you not to confuse de
gree with amount" of heat.
Ii you had a large basin full of boiling Wa
ter, and took cupful away, the cup would
contain water of the same degree of heat,
but there would be very much less heat in the
cup regards amount
Perhaps you already know that inanimate
objects are, divided into solids" liquids"
and gases"
Now the effects of heat on solids are two
fold. Bodies are said to be made up of ele-
mentary PARTICLES called atoms, and, roughly,
these atoms are in the closest proximity IN
solids, less in liquids and least of all in gases.
The first effect of the application of heat
to sohd,, such iron. is to separate its
atoms further from one another, and so make
it larger. In other words, it expands. If
heating be carried on to greater degree,
the solid becomes liquid. e., adopts the
shape OF any vessel it may be in, having
no shape of its own; and, lastly, if the heat
ing be carried on still further, the liquid be-
comes gas.
The principle of the thermometer depends
on the expansion of bodies exposed to the
varying conditions of heat. You know that

curry and mercury vapor, all the air is driven
out, and on cooling, the tube fills with mer-
curry from the funnel.
The whole thing is again heated and while
hot the funnel is removed, and the upper
end of the tube is sealed, presenting the ap-
pearanee seen in Fig. 2.
On cooling, of course, the mercury con-
tracts, and leaves above it perfect vacuum,
the tube presenting now the appearance seen
in Fig 3. Our thermometer is now made,
but we have to graduate it.
Now it has been discovered that the tenn
is to say it is always the same. This tenn

Liquids, however, present the happy
means, and of these mercury is the liquid
iy for equal degrees of heat. How, then, are
these little instruments made? l will tell
you.
A tube having fine BORE known as
capillary bore, from the Latin ''capilla," a
hair is taken, and at one end of this a small
at the other end en- funnel is made; into this
funnel mercury is placed, and the bulb is
heated. Some of the heated air rushes out
through the mercury. and on cooling some
mercury is forced into the tube to take the
place of the air which has escaped.
This mercury finds it's way into the bulb
and is in its turn heated. 1t becomes vola-
