WorId,s Laroest barometer.

The biggest barometer In the world
II In the city Of Faenza, Italy. 1t is a
monument to TorricelH, inventor of
the barometer, who was born In that
city 800 years ago. The scale OF this
barometer is on a basis Of feet where
the ordinary barometer is measured in
inches. The liquid column is thirty
seven feet high at normal. 1t was in
tended to use a thirty-two foot coR1mn
Of water, but this was abandoned be-
cause water evaporated too quickly.
Then glycerin was tried, but with this
liquid the normal height was only
twenty-seven feet, which was not
enough. Olive oil was chosen finally.
The tube rests against a monumental
pillar Of stone. Olive oil is the lightest
liquid yet used for barometer. When
q lighter one is made available taller
barometer may be constructed. Pas

especially showed Mr.. Moody himself
IN his varying phases. 1t was the con-

question, Brethren, how many Of you
have 50 grown In grace that You can
bear to have your faults told?"
Many hands went up. Quick as q
lash, but neither sharply nor insult
ineIy, Mr.. Moody turned to q young
minister and said:
Brother, you have spoken thirteen
times In twelve days here and perhaps
shut out twelve other good men from
speaking"
It was true. The young man had
been presuming and of1cious. He had
held up bis hand, but he could not
bear to be chidden, and now be stoutly
defended himself, only making mat
tiers worse. Then another minister
broke forth and berated Mr.. Moody for
his bluntness. The latter blushed, but
listened until the reproof was done.
Then he suggestively covered his face
and spoke through his fingers, "Breth-
rem, admit the fault my friend
