MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS.

May Ee Measured by Means of 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
it takes to boil it. 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 F.. 1t has been figured out
that for a few miles up for every
thousand feet of ascent water will
boil degree lower. Thus if at the
bottom of u mountain water bOils at
90 degrees c. (210.2 degrees FL and at
the top at 9S degrees c. C2OS.4 degrees
F. the mountain is a thousand feet
high.
In government and other scientific
work extremely delicate thermometers
are used. They are long. so that the
scales may be divided into fractions
Of a degree. The entire instrument fcr
the work is termed a thermobarOme-
ter. or hypsometer. 1t consists OF
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 thai
accurate, as the pressure Of air does
rot decrease Uniformly as we ascend
Nevertheless it is a good adjunct t.
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
pends on the pressure of air, which
does not decrease uniformly. How
ever. it can be graduated to an em
pirical scale to tell the heights and il
that case shows accuracy.-ChicagC

A MONSTER PLow.
Designed For Ten Horses, 1t Took Fifty
to Move 1t.

Designed For Ten Horses, 1t Took Fifty
to Move 1t.
What is said to be the largest plow
in the world was Aade some years
ago at Bakersfield. Cal This plow
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 if two horses could
t.:ll twelve inch plow six horses
could pull a plow thirty-six inches
wide and that eight horses could pull
a plow forty-eight inches wide. He
made the calculations carefully. and.
being clever with his pencil. also made
drawings and sent for blacksmiths and
machinists to construct a 9low 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 su-
perintendent went on with his plans.
The blacksmiths and machinists fin
ished the plOw in due time. The share
was made to cut a fifty inch furrow.
The top of it 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 it 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 it,
The plow was brought to the great
field, the ten horses were attached tC
it, 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 plow had not gone toe
| deeply into the earth. But it was evi
dent that they could not pull the plow
More horses were brought out, but no
until fifty were attached did the plov
move along.
Even then it required four men t,
hold the handles in order to keep tn,
plow in the furrow. 1t was an eco
nomic failure.
Then the superintendent, through
the intervention of some one who wa
a better mathematician than he, learn
ed that he should have cubed the ca
pacity Of his twelve inch plow ever
time he doubled the width of it.-Ha1

DEAD AT LOG YEARS OF AGE
MiddIetown Co'ored Man, A Unique
Chara ter Passes Away.

Middletown, Ma III IA Judge"
Perry Hall, colored man of that
rare type of the old school which is
fast disappearing from the race. is
dead at the age of LOG years. He
was buried Sunday morning at the
home near Old Drawyer's, where he
had lived for many years and not far
from where he was born in 1904. In
the death of Perry Hall the neighbor-
hood has lost not merely its oldest
citizens, but an ancient character
whose life and example might we'll
be taken as model by many of his
race. How the title of Judge"
ever came to him no one appears to
know, but one who knew him for
many years inclines to the belief that
it was conferred upon him by some
of his friends as an evidence of
kindly feeling and regard for a man
who aimed to be just to all men. 1t
was the pride of his life that he had
never been discourteous to white
person, and no stranger ever talked
many minutes to Perry Hall in later
years without being informed that he
chad never sassed a white person in
all his life" One of Halls staunch
friends for many years was James T..
Shallcross, of Middletown. Years
ago Hall asked Mr.. Shallcross if he
would come to his home when he was
dead, and say over his dead body,
to his children and anyone else who
might be present that "here was ar
honest man." Mr.. Shallcross full.
filled the request of the old darkey
