HARD TO AWARD THE CREDIT
Fully Seven or Eight Scientists
Shared in the Invsntion and Devel-
opment of the Thermometer.

1t would be imps ssible to ascribe
the invention of the thermometer to
single scientist for the reason that
no less than seven t. eight of them
shared in its inveniitn ard develop
ment.
Calico was probably the first to de-
wise a crude form ,spf thermometer,
about 1897; then Drebbel of Alcmaer
further perfected the instrument in
1909; Paulo Scarpi also contributed to
the work in the same year, and in 1910
sanctorio added to the instrument.
The Fahrenheit thermometer was in
vented in about 1926, and soon after
ward Reaumur and Celsius came out
with the so-called Centigrade. Fahren-
heit's scale of reckoning is in general
use in this country and England, while
the Centigrade thermometer is used on
the continent.
The thermometer contributed little
to science in the early stages of it's
development. 1t was not until the
eighteenth century, when Fahrenheit,
Celsius and Reaumur measured off the
tube into degrees SC that the exact
rise and fall of the temperature could
be reckoned, that it came to be Of
any considerable value.
Celsius and Reaumu took the melt.
ing point of ice as zero, or 0, degrees
on their scale, while Fahrenheit took
his from a mixture of snow and salt,
which produced the greatest degree of
cold he knew how to produce. For
this reason 92 degrees is the freezing
point of water in Fahrenheit ther.
mometer, and his other divisions are
different from those of Celsius and Re.
aumur.
Celsius scale is the one in universal
use in Europe, and scientists are en-
deayoring to introduce it into Eng.
land and America, on the contention
that 1t is much simpler than Fahren,
heit's. 1t is called Centigrade, or
hundred steps, for the reason that the
tube is so divided that there are exact.
ly 100 degrees between the freezing
and boiling points.

Rent for a FORGE.

Harpers Weekly relates that more
than five centuries ago the corpora
tion of London acquired from the
crown forge for which it promised
to pay an annual rent in its products.
Although the forge was demolished in
a riot during the reign of Richard H.,
1377-1399, and was never restored, the
rent is still punctually paid every Oc.
tober.
Last autumn, on the appointed day,
the city solicitor went to the office Of
the kings remembrancer and made the
following proclamation:
"Oyez, oye5 oyez. Tenants and oc-
cupiers of a certain tenement called
the Forge in the parish of ST. Clem.
ent Danes in the county of Middlesex,
come forth and do your service"
The city solicitor then solemnly
counted six horseshoes and 81 nails.

WAS INVENTION OF A BOY
Steam Engines Automatic Cutoff
Valve the Idea of a Boy Intent
on Play.

Among the governments patent ex.
hibits is collection of miniature
steam engines. Models of the engines
Of Hero, of Alexandria, of Newcomb
and of Watt illustgate the successive
steps in the development of what has
become the giant of our modern in,
dustry. There may be seen a model
of the early engine upon which boys
were employed to turn the cocks that,
alternating, let the steam on and shut
it off. One of these boys, Humphrey
Potter, by name, instead of settling
down like a machine to the monoton-
GUS work, kept his eyes open. He
discovered that a certain beam above
his head worked in unison with the
cocks that he opened and closed. He
accordingly connected the two, and
after seeing that the device worked
properly, ran Off to play.
His employers began to notice a
much greater regularity in the move
ment OF the engine than before; this
led to the discovery of his secret, and
to the subsequent adoption of his de-.
vice everywhere. An examination Of
the model Of the engine to which the
scoggan was applied arouses in one
the wonder, not that the boy thought
of it, but that anybody before him
should have failed to do so This is
the "after thought" of a great many
notable Inventions Opponents of the
patent system often raise the point
that all great inventions are "in the
air." that the same suggestion sooner
or later will come to a great many
different men, and hence that the pat
ent is simply reward to the one who
happens to arrive first.
Patent experts acknowledge con-
siderable basis for this contention.
They say also that the lament often
seen in the newspapers, His inven'
ton died with him." referring to Sc
cret process, is rarely borne out by
events.

The destructiveness Of elephants is
shown in British blue book on the
preservation Of wild animals in Af-
rica. An official report from Uganda
says that "the elephants seem to
have become more bold than they
were two years ago. came across
flourishing gardens and plantations
that had been absolutely wiped out
by herds Of wild elephants roaming
through the country. The complete
destruction wreaked by these Beasts
is hardly credible, and the natives are
getting desperate" The governor Of
Uganda reported that the elephants
have become SO bold that they not
only feed at night in the native maize
gardens, but actually enter the vii
lagos, remove the roofs of the corn
stores, and help themselves"

STATE TEACHERS
BEGIN MEETINGS !.
DR.. Stone Argues for Less Pre-
paratory and More Voca-
tional Teaching.

~
Asserting that the curriculum of the
modern school system is upside own,
DR.. Ormond Stone. of the University
of Virginia, made a characteristic ad.
dress yesterday afternoon at the open.
ing meeting of the State Teaches
Association. DR.. Stone called attention
to the fact that everything now seems
to be preparatory to something else
The college prepares for the university
the high school for the college, the
grammar school for the high school
the primary school for the grammar
school.
Saying that it would be ridiculous
to begin the erection of house by
building the attic first, DR., Stone laid
down the broad proposition that each
year of a Students school life should
be SO arranged that II he should never
again be able to give another day to
study, what he had secured would be
for the best good of his whole future
life. In other words. Dr. stone would
have the first Year of the primary
course so arranged that If there Is a
child in 1t who may never get to school
again he will still have received in
formation which he can use for build
Ing life on, rather than merely a
preparation for something higher,
which he may not reach.

According to superintendent j. n

schools In Virginia were started in an
ticipation of the passage by Congress
of the Davis bill, giving Federal aid 10
such schools This has not yet been
enacted, but will be pressed for pas

bill will pass. Every member of the
Virginia delegation In Congress- save
one is in favor of the measure, and
unfortunately. this one has more in
nuence in this particular than anv
other, being on the Committee of Az
riculture in the House. We hope he
may see his way clear to indorse a
bill, which nearly every virginian de.

the so-called academic work If some
of our good brethren in public schools
do not permit Industrial work to be
linked with academic work, then tho

dominate the situation, and the other
Will take back seat. The people de-

Senator Charles q. Gravatt. of Caro-.
