Testing Processes at the National
Weather Bureau.

Each day at the weather bureau i'll
Washington the thermometers received
from various manufacturers through
out the country are put through the
test of standardiZing them.
The various processes through which
the bulbs pass before they are labeled
accurate" are easy. inasmuch as there
is practically little scientific work at
tached to the test. When thermom-
eter is first handed to the man in the
testing room it is dipped into vat
filed with a compound far below the
freezing point 1t is thrust in at the
point where it happens to be ut the
time and worked up and down until
the degree of the compound is reached.
Having then recorded the lowest tenn
perature, the process Of testing for the
highest is begun. This is just us sim
pie as testing for the low temperature.
The bulb is dipped into Il vat Of water,
first ut GO degrees. Then it is worked
gradually until 1870 degrees is reached.
If the mercury in the bulb will indi-
cate 1870 degrees further testing is un-
necessary. because that is IL tolerably
warm temperature and one seldom II
ever reached by natural heat.
A thermometer the bulb OF which
contains mercury will not register
lower than 2S degrees below Zero-that
is, mercury will freeze at that point.
In this country very little use is
found for thermometers showing more
than 2S degrees below zero. but in the
far north they are of course necessary.
Such Instruments. however. contain
spirits in the bulbs instead of mer-
curry. but even this fluid becomes slug
gish when 40 or 80 below zero is re-
corded, and it will seldom show 90 be-

Shampoo.

A mid-eighteenth century traveller
who is the first person known TO have
made English of the word shampoo"
wrote that "shampOoing is an opera
ton not known in Europe and is pc
culiar to the Chinese, which | had once
the curiosity to go through, and for
which l paid but trife. However,
haefsI not seen several Chinese mer-
chants shampooed before me l should

from India that the word really came.
and it represents the imperative of a
verb meaning to knead.
