MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS.
May Be Measured by Means of an
Ordinary Thermometer.

May be measured by means or an
Ordinary Thermometer.
Heights of mountains or of airships
can be measured by means of an ordi-
nary thermometer. The greater the
pressure of the atmosphere ON the sur.
face Of water the greater temperature
1t takes to boil 1t. AS we rise in the
air less and less pressure of the air
occurs, and water will boil at lower
temperature than 100 degrees G. (212
degrees FL. 1t has been figured out
that for a few miles up for every
thousand feet of ascent water will
boil a degree lower. Thus If at the
bottom of a mountain water boils at
80 degrees G. C210.2 degrees F.. and at
the top at 90 degrees G. (20S.4 degrees
FL the mountain is a thousand feet
high.
In government and other scientific
work extremely delicate thermometers
are used. They are long, 30 that the
scales may be divided into fractions
of degree. The entire instrument for
the work is termed thermobarome.
ter, or hypsometer. 1t consists of a
small metallic vessel for boiling wa
ter, on the inside of which are placed
these delicate thermometers. Ganot
says that the accuracy of the height
of a mountain can be obtained within
ten feet by means of these instru.
ments. 1t is probably not quite that
accurate, as the pressure of air does
not decrease uniformly as we ascend,
Nevertheless 1t is good adjunct to
the surveyor taking largely variable
profiles.
OF course the ordinary instrument
for taking heights without actually
measuring them is the barometer.
This is open to the same objection as
the thermometer, for its height de-
ponds on the pressure of air, which
does not decrease uniformly. How
ever, it can be graduated to an en-
pirical scale to tell the heights and III

A CHINESE SOLOMON.

His Decision In Case of Woman
With Two Husbands.
There was Chinese judge named
Before Wang two men and woman
appeared. The older man was the wo-
mans first husband. He had gone to
the wars and been reported dead. Now
he returned alive to claim his wife.
But she meanwhile had married the
younger man, who refused to give her
up; hence all three came before Wang
that he might decide this truly difficult
case.

man, (which of these two men made
the better husband?'
Both were perfect husbands, my
lord judge" Yang Ki modestly replied
So the judge told the men that he
would keep the woman by him for a
week, examining her thoroughly. and
a week hence he would decide the
case. Well, the week passed, and the
two husbands came once more before
the Judge. He shook his head gravely
and said to them:
ihC Wohuh, Lung IA, huS uicu
There is no case. Let her original hus-
band take the body away from my
house and pay for the burial"
"Ho, not IT. said the original hus-
band. And, so saying, he darted from
the court and was soon lost to view.
You, then" said the Judge to the
other man, "must stand these burial
expenses"
YES" the man answered. that is
Just, and will give this woman, who
was good and kind, the finest burial
my purse will allow"
The judge clapped his hands. Yang
Xxi, blushing and smiling, entered the
courtroom In a rich dress of gold bro
cade.
"Take her." said the wise Judge, "for
you and not the other, merit her love
and service"

A MONSTER PLoW.

Designed For Ten Horses, IL Took Fifty
to Move II.
What ii said to be the largest pillow
In the world was nade some years
ago at Bakersfield, Cal. This pillow
was the result Of the ingenuity of a
ranch superintendent who had authori-
ty to make improvements, but not to
introduce steam plows. The superin-
tendent had grown very tired OF pre-
pairing 5000 acres of land for wheat
with ordinary nine or twelve inch
plows drawn by two horses.
He argued that II two horses could
pull twelve inch plow six horses
could pull pillow thirty-six inches
wide and that eight horses could pull
a pillow forty-eight inches wide. He
made the calculations carefully, and,
drawings and sent for blacksmiths and
machinists to construct a pillow on his
principle.
Some simple folk told him that his
great plow would not work, but they
contented themselves with saying this
dogmatically without giving any math-
ematical reason therefor. So the SUI
perintendent went on with his plans.
The blacksmiths and machinists fin
ished the plow in due time. The share
was made to cut fifty inch furrow.
The top of 1t reached five feet above
the ground to give room to throw the
earth. The beam was more than a
foot thick, but the machine was con-
structed to run between two great
wheels. so that 1t could be turned
around easily, and on the axle between
these wheels was the seat for the man
who was to drive the ten horses which
were hitched to 1t.
The pillow was brought to the great
field, the ten horses were attached to
1T, the handles were raised. the driver
mounted his seat, and the team was
started. But as soon as the share
struck well into the ground the horses
stopped short. They were stuck fast.
And yet the pillow had not gone too
deeply into the earth. But 1t was evil
dent that they could not pull the pillow.
More horses were brought out, but not
until fifty were attached did the plow
move along.
Even then it required four men to
hold the handles in order to keep the
plow in the furrow. 1t was an eco
nomic failure.
Then the superintendent, through
the Intervention of some one who was
a better mathematician than he, learn
ed that he should have cubed the ca
pacity of his twelve inch pillow every
time he doubled the width of THAR

politeness to yourself and politeness to

How the Rash Comes.

In measles a rash appears on the
fourth day Of the fever. 1t Is first
seen on the forehead, face and neck,
afterward over the whole body. 1t
consists of raised red spots. In scarlet
fever the rash appears on the second
day Of the fever, commencing on the
upper part of the chest and neck,
whence 1t spreads over the body. In
smallpox an eruption is seen on the
third or fourth day on the face, neck
and wrists. In chicken pox the erup-
ton is made of small blebs. In typhoid
fever the rash rarely shows itself be-
fore the seventh day of the fever. The
spots are rose colored. and they disap-
pear ON pressure.
