FareAheit ana Centi9rade.

The Fahrenheit Thermometer Is the
one In general use In this country, ex-
cept among some Of the scientists, who
use the Centigrade. 1t would be well
for all the boys and girls to know
wherein the difference between them
consists. In the Centigrade, the space
between the freezing point and the
boiling point is divided into 100 de-
grees, while in the Fahrenheit It IL
divided into $50 degrees. A degree OF
the Centigrade. therefore, is higher
than a degree Fahrenheit In the pro-
portion Of 9 to 8, but as zero in the
Centigrade is at the freezing point and
In the Fahrenheit at 80 degrees above
that, this must be considered In COM
pairing them. To express 10 degrees
Centigrade in the Fahrenheit scale,
multiply 10 by 8 and divide by 5, which
will give 10; then add the 80 degrees
not reckoned in Centigrade, and you
will have so, which is the exact equiv
alent Of 10 Centigrade.

In 1868 the convention assembled IN

ond ballot, Francis p. Blair OF Mis-
souri, was nominated for Vice President
on the first ballot.

ribbed Democrats refused to abide by the
action Of the convention and held con-
yention of their own in September, 1877,
nominating Charles O'Coner Of New
York for President and John Quincy Ad-
ans for Vice President. Both nominees
declined, but their declinahons were not
accepted.
Samuel j. Tilden of New York and

of men. Grover Cleveland of New York,
though opposed by Tammany, was nomi-
mated on the second ballot, and with Hen
bricks of Indiana carried the party back
into power. To defeat him, Tammany
tried to break down the unit rule follow

attempt was not successful. The conven-

years to nominate candidate by accla-
nation. At this convention Grover Cleve-
land was nominated for second term by
resolution without opposition. For Vice
President Allen G.. Thurman of Ohio was
nominated on the first ballot, receiving
600 votes. This convention met In st.

again nominated him on the first ballot,
despite the determined opposition OF his
own State. He was thrice honored by
his party. The convention of 1888 nom
mated him for second term by resolution
without opposition and the convention OF
1892 nominated him again on the first
ballot
