MORSE SHOWS FIGHT
Dethroned Ice King on Run All Day Through Financial
 District.
IS NOT YET A BANKRUPT
Involuntary Proceedings Threatened by Creditors Fails to Ma
 terialize.

New York, Feb. 19. - Amid the incessant downpour of rain to-day the autom obile of Charles W. Morse sour ried about the financial district, stop ping now and then as the dethroned ice king pushed In some new quarter, in the fight which his counsel had promised that he would make to re- store his shattered fortunes. Where the advantage lay at the end of the day was not made clear To all en- quiries Morse's counsel. ?. j. Britt replied: Better see the district at torney-or his assistant-Kersel; or better still-wait and see what to- morrow brings forth"
 At all events the involuntary bank ruptcy proceedings against Morse, the early institution of which by certain creditors had been rumored, failed to materialize, and with the expiration of the day, the four months legal limit had been passed and former Justice Morgan J. O'Brien became a preferred creditor. Morse had allot- ted certain collateral to the former justice who. as a member of the law firm of O'Brien, Boardman & Platt was counsel for the financier.
 The fact that Mir. O'Brien's claims would become preferred after to-day led tc the report that petition in bankruptcy would be filed by other creditors before night.
 On the other hand it was learned that the district attorneys office had not been served with papers in the action threatened by Attorney Britt to restrain proposed civil suits against Morse
 Morse's automobile drew up at she Williams street office of Attorney Britt early to-day. After conference with his attorney Morse hurried away. vis- iting a half dozen banks in rapid sue cession. His most important call. it is believed, was at the National Bank of North America, where he was for some minutes closeted with Receiver Hanna of that institution It was Mir. Hanna who placed the many attach ments on Morse's property Later Morse conferred with other officials of the North America, but what trans pired was carefully guarded One of those who participated. however, did take pains to deny that the interview between Morse and the others had been stormy.
 Headings on the two grand jury in- dictments against Morse will h re- turned next Monday

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. March i2-There was inter mitteut and spotty strength in the stock market today but 1t was not comparable which occurred yesterday. The volume of the market was decidedly diminished ai-
 The sustaining force of upward move nnents in special stock was taken advantage of for cautious profit taking which showed itself on every occasion when an advance the factors which we're of use in lifting prices yesterday had lost some of their in- fluence today and there was residue of damaging effect coming over from the pre- vtous day from some undigested factors. One of these was the setting on foot by instruction of the President of an investi. gation by the Bureau of Corporations of stock with the announced purpose of Ind ing way to peaIize marginal operations in stocks The attitude opposed amongst self has nothing to fear from a revelation of ts methods but rs.hsr much much tp gain ,n of safeguards and securities bound obliga- tions assumed in the regular stock ex- strict probity in the conduct of brokerage commission business in stocks.

 Against this information in the market was the continued stress laid upon report that message from the President was to be forthcoming shortly which would favor permission to the railroad companies to ad- vance thefr freight charges as measure of prevention against the threatened fall in the rates of wages.
 Yesterdays circumstantiai reports that the Union Pacific plan for segregating as- sets in a company to be distributed in shares to the stockholders met with suf- ficient official discountenance this morning to impair its influence as market factor. The Northern Pacific extra dividend rumors revived with some show of force and made a rallying point against the effects of profit taking in the market. Amaiagamated Copper enjoyed the advantage of an ad- vance in the price of copper both at the lo- cal metal exchange and in London.

.AnoUT THn THERMotIETER.
'. vwaa xnvented by Fahrenheit oi
 nmmtEaw

F7efara tfe seventeenth century, men could only judge of the amount or neat prevailing at any place by their per sonai sensations and could only speak oS the weather in a very indefinite way aa hot or very hot. cold or very cold.
 n that century several attempts were
 made by scientific experimenters by means of tubes containing oil, spirits
 of wine and other substances to estao- fish a satisfactory means of measur-
 ing heat but none of them proved sue
 ceesful Even Sir Isaac Newton, who anplied his great mind to this work,
 ana also the noted astronomer. Haley, failed in their attempts to produce heat measure.
 It 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 be so serviceable to mankind. He had failed in business as a merchant and, having a taste for mechanics and chemistry, began series of experi-
 nents for the production of thermom- eters. At first he made these instru-
 ments with alcohol, but soon became
 convinced that the semi -solid mercury
 was a more suitable article to use in
 the glass tube. s1
 Fahrenheit had removed from Dant-
 z.g to Amsterdam. and there about the
 year 1720 he made the mercury ther- mometef, which has ever since been
 fashioned much like the original.
 The basis of his plan. says The Balti- more Sun, was to mark on the tube the l two points. respectively at which wa- ter is congealed and boiled and to graduate the space between. He be- i gan with an arbitrary marking, begin
 ming with 32 degrees. because he found l that the mercury descended 32 degrees
 more before coming to what he thought | the extreme cold resulting from mix l ture of ice. water and sal ammoniac. In ] 1724 he published a distinct treatise on the subject of hts experiments and the l conclusions that had resulted there l from.
 Celsius, of Stockholm, soon after | suggested the more rational graduation l of a hundred degrees between freezing and boiling point. This was the cen | tigrade thermometer. Reaumur pro- | posed another graduation, which has been accepted by the French, but By | far the largest part of the civilized | world Fahrenheit's scale has been ac- :! cepted and used. with 32 degrees as | freezing, 55 degrees as temperate. oe
 degrees as blood heat and 212 degrees as boiling point.
 It Is true that the zero of Fahren.
 heit's scale is a solecism. since it does
 not mark the extreme to which heal l can be abstracted. This little blemfsh 1 however, does not seem to have been l of any practical conseQuence.
