Daniel Fahrenheit.

In view of the abnormal weather
which we have had this summer we
think tribute Of respect should be
paid to the memory of Gabriel Daniel
Fahrenheit, who was born on Septem-
Der 16, either in 1886 or 1740 1t is
hard to say which. Before his day sew
eral Attempts had been made to meas
ure the heat level, not the heat, by
tubes containing oil of spirits Of wine,
but It lay with bankrupt merchant
of Dantzig to show how the feat could
be successfully accomplished.
The first thermometers were made
with spirits of wine; but the lngeni-
GUS Gabriel soon adopted mercury as
his medium, and so it has remained
to this day. His instruments speedily
to this day. His Instruments speedily
became known throughout the world,
and though more rational method Of
graduation has since been adopted, the
popular mind still clings to the Fab
renheit scale. Our own Royal society
thought highly of this humble inven-
tor and acknowledged his genius by
making him one of It's fellows, To the
transactions" of the society he con-
tributed several papers.-Pall Mall

in the event that 1t is necessary to beat any hasty
retreats on the eventful night.
The up-todate Halloween hostess depends
more upon the pumpkin than she does upon Ice
creams, the popcorn, the fudge or any OF the
other necessities of the frolics at the end Of In
dian summer. "A substitute might be found for
any of the eatibles, but there Is no substitute for
the pumpkin as a Halloween decoration Most
Of the pumpkins that thus go to add to the jollity
Of the occasion are the bona-1de products of the
farm, but of late years make-beeve pumpkins
have made their appearance at many an enter
tainment. 1t is that they fill special niche in
the scheme Of things rather than that they have
been required by any shortage Of the real pump
kin crop The situation may be explained by an
example. Your ingenious hostess employees the
real pumpkins-halved or with an opening at the
top. or slashed with the outlines of a Jacks Wis
age as shades for the candles that are deemed
to give sufficient illumination for such spooky
OCCASION but she has miniature pumpkins fash
toned from colored cardboard as place cards at
the supper table, and the favors for the guests
are candy boxes in the form of pumpkins filled
with pumpkin-coored candy.

jack-o-lantern and that there is very little diff
ference between the reincarnated pumpkins, but

you that there are wide differences that distin'
guish the different schools" The boys whose
sole thought is of the impression to be made
by the flaming countenance looking out from the
pumpkin bestow all their thought upon the facial
features that are to be thrown into relief by the
candleght from inside Of the pumpkin, whereas
the hostess whose pumpkin sentres are posted In
well-lighted rooms is wont to embellish a plain
countenance with black or white eyebrows and
mustaches and other supposedly life-like touches

1t is all very we'll to talk about the advantages
of the modern quiet and decorous Halloween In
contrast to the rather more bosterous ones that
were formerly the rue-and are yet in In some
localities-but whatever the form of celebration
it would assuredy lose all its zest for juvenile
America without the grinning jacko'lanterns made
possible by we plump pumpkins. Moreover, with
out the vivid-hued orbs the Halloween hostess
would be at a loss for decorative effects at dinner
and party. And finally, without the wealth OF the
pumpkins mellow interior we should one and all
be deprived of that supreme delcacy-the pump
kin pie-which is our bounden right on Halloween
even If some grabbed old doctor does deny 1t TO
us all the rest of the year.
No one, probably, has the Imagination to pre-
dict how could get along without the pumpkin
at this prankish time because not within the
memory of the Oldest inhabitant have we been
without these harbingers of the waning year. We
can imagine Christmas without tree Illuminated
by the tiny electric lamps or conceive st. Val
ent.ne's day without those convenient and eco
nomica post card valentines, because 1t was not
so many years ago that we knew not these holt
day adjuncts. But Halloween without pumpkins!
Why, 1t is too preposterous to give credence even
for moment. AS we'll try to imagine Christ
mas without mistletoe or mince pie; Memorial
day without flags; a Fourth of July without
fireworks.
Yet for all that 1t is the pumpkin and its con-
tents that gives go to the Halloween celebration;
this glory Of the autumn corn field has never
been accorded much formal notice by an unre-
sponsive world. To be sure, some homey poet
putting into verse the look of things In the period
known as the afternoon of tha year, does make
some passing rafeC"rrr - sHe frost on the pump
kim" something of that sort. but what kind
of recognition is that for a vegetable the very
sight Of which is enough to make ones mouth
water 1t ought to have monument or be the
subject of commentator by congress, says the
enthusiast on Halloween. Instead of such COM
mendation (whisper the fact in shame) the
United States government which gets out count
less books all sorts of fruits and flowers and
vegetables and bugs, has never devoted so much
as a pamphlet to the rotund delicacy-hasnt,
indeed, degned to notice his majesty of Haow-
cen except to give few hints to housewives who
may desire to can pumpkins, though that were
fit fate for useful holiday adjunct.
But for all that there is little lore relative to
the history and antecedants Of the pumpkin-and
perhaps this is, after all, in keeping with Halow-
cen stealth-it is known that the pumpkin is
distinctivey American delicacy. The aborigines
North America planted it among their corn
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1911-10-26

long before the first white man set foot on the
continent (if tradition is to be believed), and we
have followed much the same custom to this day.
or course pumpkins are raised In other environ
ment than in corn field, but no other surround
ings seem appropriate for the heralds Of the
fall festivals.
Every true friend of the pumpkin is forced to
admit that the name 1t bears Is a plebian one for
royal fruit. Its name has not only proven
disadvantage in some respects, but has resulted
in the pumpkin being confused with certain
other products of the farm. AS every person who
goes in quest of pumpkin for Halloween plots
well attest, there is only one form of pumpkin
that is worthy the name and occasion-that
shapely orb of joy, round a ball and with its
glossy surface tinted vivid orange than
the orange fruit itself And yet there are people
who confuse the only and original simon-pure
pumpkin with its numerous cousins. none of
which have its traditions or claims to distinction.
Just because the pumpkin belongs to the same
family the summer and crookneck squashes
and the common, inedible gourds Is no reason
why anybody should confuse them as one and
the thing. Why, the squashes that
approach most nearly to the pumpkin In color
lack its symmetry Of form.
The uses of the pumpkin are certainly as varied
as of any fruit or vegetable, but whatever its
mission 1t comes into its own along about Hal
lowe'en. For one thing, that is the height Of the
harvest season for the pumpkin and the people
who are canning the decacy or stocking the
cellar are busy now, likewise those house
wives who are utilizing the heshy layer, that Is
found just beneath the rind of the pumpkin, for
"stufing" for the most famous Of pies-the kind,
you know, that the little boy objected to because
they unused up his ears" And, finally, there
