The Warmth of Snow House.

Usually our snow igloos allowed each
man from eighteen to twenty inches
space in which to lie down and just
room enough to- stretch his legs we'll.
With our sleeping bags they were en-
tlrely comfortable, no matter what the
weather outside. The snow is porous
enough to admit of air circulation, but
even gale of wind without would not
affect the temperature within. 1t is
claimed by the natives that when the
wind blows snow house is warmer
than in period Of still cold. 1 could
see no difference. A new snow igloo
is, however, more comfortable than one
that has been used, for newly cut
snow blocks are more porous. In one
that has been used there is always a
crust of ice on the interior which pre-
vents a proper circulation of air.-Dil

Il Was Invented by Poor Man Who

There is one little instrument in
which the interest of all classes of
people in this country never diminishes
through all the changing seasons Of the
year, from the first day of January to
the last day of December. 1t regulates
the business pulse of the nation and is
the shrine to which men of all occupa-
tons turn And this little instrument
is the thermometer, which bears the
name of Fahrenheit.
Before the seventeenth century men
could only Judge Of the amount of heat
prevailing at any place by their per-
sOnal sensations and could only speak
of the weather. in a very indefinite
way as hot or very hot, cold or very
cold. In that century several attempts
were made by scientific experimenters
by means Of tubes containing oil. Spir-
it's of wine and other substances to es.
tab]ish a satisfactory means of meas
uring heat, but none of them proved
successful Even Sir Isaac Newton
who applied his great mind to this
work. and also the noted astronomer

duce heat measure.

THE NATURAL AND UNNATURAL
SOLDER.

No one likes a solder. Scolding is a
habit very exhausting to the one who
practices it, and very obnoxious to
others. There are really two kinds Of
scolders. Those who fret and fume
as direct result of physical weakness,
and those who rant and roar from a
mental disposition that does not depend
upon physical states.
The one who scolds because he is
tired, or sick, or depressed, or bilious,
or any other physical condition, has
some excuse. 1t is simply giving
way to physical weakness. 1t is not
mental popularity which causes
him to scold. He may despise his own
weakness. He may be conscious of
the futility of scolding, and be disgust
ed with himself every time he allows
himself to do So And yet, because of
deranged nerves and disturbing du-
ties, he is continually falling into the
habit Of scolding. . For this fellow
there is some excuse. His scolding
usually occurs in the latter part of the
day. In this way he can be told from

HOUSEHOLD
WHAT THE DINING ROOM TEACHES

Everyone likes to have her children
spoken of as being we'll brought up
and mannerly; but we forget-some
of us-that the every day home life is
responsible in very large measure
for the way in which our children
deport themselves when in company.
In fact, the home manners "show
through no matter how we try to
hide them. In a moment of forget
fitness we show ourselves as we are,
not what we would be thought to be.
This is particularly true of children.
If children are taught by example as
we'll as precept, at the everyday ia
BILE, to properly use their spoons.
knives and forks, napkins, cups etc.,
and to be clearly in handling their
dishes, drinking properly, chewing
with the mouth shut, and not allowed
to pick and pull over the victuals
served in the family dishes, they will
usually respect the proprieties when
at the table of others. In no other
way can a child make itself more dis
agreeable than by showing disregard
for the decorum and decency Of the
table. If parents would only remem-
Der this, and insist kindly but firmly
on obedience to these rules, they would
spare themselves many humiliating
experiences.
But these lessons cannot be taught
by precept alone there must be exam
pies as we'll. If the adults of the
family-and especially the father-al-
low themselves unseemly latitude in
this direction, be assured the bright
little eyes will see it, and sometimes,
when one is particularly anxious to
have things at their best, these imita-
tons of home methods will flash out
to our intense modification. Recently,
at a table where everything was in
the daintiest order, we saw young
hopeful" most handsomely dressed and
seemingly one of family of wealth
and refinement. grasp his portion of
pie in his two hands, lifting it to his
teeth, which were widely exposed,
literally "gobbling" it down, drop
ping the filling on the tablecloth. and
in fact making such mess of it that
his lady mother audibly demonstrated
with him, to which he replied: Il
amt a-goin' to eat it with my fork
this is the way my papa eats pie at
home" Do you wonder that the NOR
titled mother lost all appetite for he1
dinner, and with an embarrassed little
laugh said the child knew better, but
took advantage of being where he die
not fear punishment for disobedience!

e other fellow who scolds for the

the other fellow who scolds for the
love of it.
A man or woman who gets up in the
morning, refreshed and invigorated in
body and mind, and then begins to-
scold, may be set down as a man or
woman who scolds as a matter of pure
meanness. Such person loves to
scold. 1t is a mental deformity.
But there are men and women who
scold from pure weakness. All day
they have carried their burdens. Hour
after hour they have dragged their
loads. Things have nagged and OBJ
structed. Nerves have throbbed and
tingled. They have belched and CUR
gled in the throes of dyspepsia, until
at last their mental integrity yields.
They hate scolding as much as other
people, but their spirit is broken, their
character dissipated, their resolves
scattered to the four winds. Then
they scold. The treatment for such a
case is not the same as for the one who
gets up in the morning and scolds from
pure love Of it. The nervous scolder
ought to have a rest. Such a preson
ought to have a change of scene and
climate for few weeks.
When he gets away off where he can
look back at his affairs he will see
how foolish and insignificant his
troubles really are. From some noun
tain top or lakeside, or even the whirl
of some distant city, he turns his mind
toward home and business. He goes
over again the things that seemed so
troublesome to him. His perspective
allows him to get better and juster
view of things.
He resolves that he will never scold
again. He returns to his work, re-
freshed. ennobled. Things that used to
annoy him he now laughs at. He has
more ballast and less sail. He is mag
unanimous where he used to be fretful
People think he has had change of
heart, when in reality the change was
a bodily one. His heart has suffered
no change whatever. Exchange

1t was reserved to Gabriel Daniel
Fahrenheit. an obscure and poor man,
a native of DantZig, to give to the
world the instrument which has proved
to he SO serviceable to mankind. He
had failed in business as a merchant
and, having taste for mechanics and
chemistry, began series of expert
ments for the production of thermome-
tiers. At first he made these instru-
ments with alcohol, but soon became
convinced that the semisolid mercury
was q more suitable article to use in
the glass tube.
Fahrenheit had removed from Dant-
zig to Amsterdam, and there about the
year 1920 he made the mercury Their
mometer which has ever since been
fashioned much like the original. .
The basis of his plan was to mark
on the tube the two points respectively
ct which water is CONCEALED and boiled
and to graduate the space between.
lie began with an arbitrary marking,
beginning with 50 degrees, because he
found that the mercury descended 80
degrees more before coming to what
he thought the extreme cold resulting
from mixture of ice. water and sal
ammOniac. In 1924 he published dis.
tinct treatise on the subject of his ex-
periments and the conclusions that had
resulted therefrom.
Celsius of Stockholm soon after sug-
geSted the more rational graduation of
a hundred degrees between freezing
and boiling point This was the cent?
grade thermometer. Reaumur propos-
ed another graduation which has been
accepted by the French, but by far the
largest part of the civilized world
Fahrenheit's scale has been accepted
and used. with 80 degrees as freezing,
30 degrees as temperate. 90 degrees as
blood heat and 212 degrees as boiling
point.
1t is true that the zero of Fahren.
heit'S scale is q SOlecism since it does
not mark the extreme to which heat
can be distracted. This little blemish
however, does not seem to have been
of any practical consequence.
Arctic explorers have persisted in de,
| scribing temperatures below the zero
| of Fahrenheit. and scientists have pro
| duced artificially temperatures far be

The place where it (Reims cathe-

the strongest light, the meanest sur

wealth, in extravaganza, in gorgeous
ness of ornament. The facade of Notre

in general design, is of Puritan sim
plicity beside the facade of NOtre

are more deeply recessed, more richly
charged with sculpture, row upon row,
tier upon tier, some statues being as
unexpectedly Greek in character as
others are Gothic. No other sculptures
are on so large and imposing a scale.
No other gables over the doors soar
upward in such high, acute angles. No
other show such an ENHANCEMENT OF
figures and traceries. And the great.
tall windows above and the rose be-
tween are so beset with ornament that
hardly an inch Of bare stone remains
about them. In the gallery of kings
the statues stand under scarven cano-
