ENLARGE MENT Of
THE POSTOFF|CE
PLANNED
Holiday Rush Necessitates
the Construction of an
Extra Floor.

To meet the demands of growing bus
mess at the local postoffice by enlarg-
ing the working room, Z. w. Roberts
government superintendent of construc-
ton at Albuquerque, is in Ell PasO draw
ing plans for a meZzanine floor to be
built between the office of the assistant
postmaster in the south end of the post
office building to the east wall.
According to RI. Roberts this floor
which will be suspended from the second
floor, will treble the working space in
the work room at the office. The floor
Will be reached by spiral staircase, con-
veniently located. This Improvement is
regarded as absolutely necessary to han
die the growing business of the office,
and will be done by the Christmas holt
days, notwithstanding the fact that FL
.Paso is to have a brand new pOstOffice
soon.
Other Improvements of a minor nature
will also be started soon. An entra nee
to be used exclusively by the railway
mail service will be put in on the east
side of the building at about the third
window south from Mills street. The
wire screening at the main entrance on
the east side of the building will be ar
ranged so as to make the entrance larg
er. The scheme of improvement also
calls for improvement on the lawn and
other repairs on the building.
As soon as Mr.. Roberts completes his
plans, the government will advertise for
bids for the construction of the meZZan-
inc floor and other improvement work.
He can not tell vet how much money
will be spent in making the improve
ments

WHEN IT MARKS ZERO.
The Chief Popularity of h Fahren'
heit Thermometer

The Chief Peculiarly of the Fahren'
heit Thermometer.
The chief popularity OF ID UA1~
heit thermometer is that when 1t
marks zero there are at that moment
Just 80 degrees of frost In the air.
which Is a fair start for a cold day
But when SO degrees of frost are ADD
ed, by the drop Of the mercury this
much below Fahrenheit's arbitrary
zero mark, as is frequently the case
in various parts of our country, what
| folks are really getting is 80 degrees
of frost.
AS a matter of fact. the point where
things begin to freeze or to thaW Is
the natural dividing line, and not
Fahrenheit's zero mark, which doe
not enter into consideration until
things have been frozen up to the ex'
tent of 80 degrees. In other words
when one is told how cold it Is. hs
should really be Informed as to the
amount of all the frost and not merely
a part thereof, just as when thing
began to warm up, n would like to
know just how warm 1t Is from the
freezing point, and not, as with the
Fahrenheit thermometer. be obliged to
subtract 80 degrees of ~non-existent
frost, in July say, in order to learn
the actual truth.
1t follows, therefore, that the truly
sensible thermometers are those known
as the Centigrade and the Reaumur'
Both take the points at which water
freezes and water boils as points fixed
by nature. The space between these
two points Is divided on the Centri.
grade thermometer into 100 degrees
and on the Reaumur into 80 degrees
The division into 100 degrees is prob
ably better than that into 80 degrees
but only for the reason that 80 many
things in this world are divided by
tens and hundreds that most of US are
more or less accustomed to the dcci.
nal system.

In Fair Preservation.

One winter some years ago. a large
whale was killed ear n Of the At
lantic %seaports. Its carcass was taken
ashore, loaded on two fat cars, and
transported far inland, to cities where
a whale was a curiosity hat people
would pay to see. 1t was necessary, q
course, that the exhibitions should be
given in unheated halls, and as it was
a cold winter, the whale kept In a
fairly good state Of preservation for a
considerable number OF weeks before
it became imperative to close tho
amusement season, so far as that par
ticular cetacean was concerned. While
it was on exhibition in Chicago a mer-
chant from a little town in Southern
Illinois, who happened to be in the
city on business, went to see it. When
he returned home he could talk Of
nothing else.
