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

May Be Measured by Means of an
Ordinary Thermometer.
Heights Of mountains or OF airships
can De measured by means of an ordi-
nary thermometer. The greater the
pressure OF the atmosphere on the sur
face Of water the greater temperature
IL takes TO boil IL. As we rise in the
air less and less pressure OF the air
occurs. and water viii boil ut a lower
temperature than 100 degrees c. C212
degrees F.. II has been figured out
that for 4 few miles up for every
thousand feet OF ascent water will
boil a degree lower. Thus IL at the
bottom OF a mountain water boils at
90 degrees c. C2102 degrees FL and at
the top at 9S degrees c. cost degrees
F. the mountain Is n 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 degree. The entire instrument for
the work is termed thermobarome-
ter, or hypsometer. Ii consists OF n
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 mountain can be obtained within
ten feet by means OF these instru-
ments. II is probably not quite that
accurate, as the pressure OF air does
not decrease uniformly as we ascend.
Nevertheless it is a 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 10 the same objection as
the thermometer. for its height de-
ponds on the pressure OF air, which
does not decrease uniformly. How
ever, 1t can be graduated 10 an en-
pirical scale to tell the heights and in
that case shows accuracy.-Chicago

TRlCKEO THE SAVAGE.

a party Of explorers. four in num-

plains OF Western Australia. They had
been struggling on for weeks and
were now greatly in need OF water.
Their two camels had not had any
water TO drink for nearly a fortnight.
After n time they came to a deserted

A HENRY CLAY STORY.
Fate of the Resolution Instrueting Him
How to Vote.

Adlai Stevenson In Something Of
Men / Have Known" commenting on
Henry Clay, tells this anecdote:
Possibly since the foundation OF the
government no statesman has been 81
completely idolized by his friends and
party as was Henry Clay. Words are
meaningless when the attempt is made
10 express the idolatry Of the Wings
OF his own state for their great chief
tain. For lifetime he knew no rival.
His wish was law TO his followers.
In the realm Of party leadership a
greater than he hath not appeared. At
his last defeat for the presidency
strong men wept bitter tears. When
his star set il was felt TO be the sig
nal for the dissolution of the great
party of which he was the founder.
In words worthy 10 be recalled, when
the tidings came like wailing over the
state that Harry Percy's spur was
cold the chivalrous felt somehow the
world had grown commonplace"
The following incident along the line
indicated may be considered charac-
teristic. While Mr.. Clay was a sena-
tor a resolution, in accordance with n
some time custom, was introduced
into the Kentucky house OF represent
atives instructing the senators from
that state TO vote in favor of n certain
bill then pending in congress. The
resolution was in the act of passing
without opposition when n hitherto
silent member from one OF the noun
tain counties, springing 10 his feet.
exclaimed, Mr.. Speaker, am / 10 un.
derstand that this legislature is under
taking TO tell Henry Clay how to
voter The speaker answered that
such was the purport OF the resolution.
At which the member from the noun
tains, throwing up his arms, exclaim-
ed, Great heaven" and sank into his
seat. 1t is needless to add that the
resolution was Immediately rejected
by unanimous vote.

Designed For Ten Horses. IL Took Fifty

What Is 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-
" 60 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 IL two horses could
pull a twelve inch pillow six horses
could pull pillow thirty-six inches
wide and that eight horses could pull
pillow 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 n Ylow on his
principle.
Some simple folk told him that his
great plow would not work, but they
contented themselves with saying this
Dramatically without giving any math-
ematical reason therefor. SO the SUI
perintendent went on with his plans.

Structed TO run between two great

around easily. and on the axle between
these wheels was the seat for the man
who was 10 drive the ten horses which
were hitched TO IT,
The plow was brought 70 the great
field. the ten horses were attached TO
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 pillow had not gone too
deeply into the earth. But IL was evil
dent that they could not pull the pillow.
More horses were brought out. but not
until fifty were attached did the pillow
move along.
Even then il required four men to
hold the handles In order TO keep the
plow In the furrow. Ii was an eco
nomic failure.

Age Surprises Us all.

There comes a day when a chance
word or deferential act, an ami

absent acquaintance causes You to
realize that you are no longer
young. You have often tested
about being middle-aged. and the
polite denial of such an aSsump-
ton has been pleasant 10 YOUR ears
when uttered by friend. but now
YOU know the truth-you are grow
ing old 1t Is strange that Won

you have not noticed how college
girls wait at doorways to let you
pass throug and matrons with
half-grown sons offer their chairs 10
you when you stand in crowded
drawing rooms. Now that your
attention is called to yourself, you
are astonished that you have not
seen the significance Of the kindly
attention you receive wherever
YOU va. You thought you were
~ @ popular than used to be, but,
after all, YOU are merely more age.
This moment of realization is
test of character. Inevitably IL
must bring pain, for. even though
vttiiy may not suffer, there is
always disappointment in the
thought of what is has been impos-
sible to accomplished few of the
dreams have come true. Follow
ing the awakening to the grim fact
that new generation with eyes that
discern sees gray hairs and tell-tale
wrinkles. there must be a gradual
readjustment in ones relations
with the people of a busy world
that is not at all like the world of
yesterday when the way of life lay,
long and pleasantly alluring. before
you. You may be tempted To
assume an arrogant attitude toward
the young and to lament because
things are not as they used TO be,
but little stern. unfinching frank
ness with yourself will enable you
to accept your changed status
meekly at first, and then gratefully.
1t is time for you to step aside so
that others may pass along the
pleasant paths that you have
trodden, but you can find sweet
solace in looking on as you pause
by the wayside. 1t is pleaant to
