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.

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 a bankrupt merchant
Of Dantzig to show how the feat could
be successfully accomplished.
The first thermometers were made
with spirits Of wine: but the ingeni-
Gus Gabriel soon adopted mercury as
his medium, and so it has remained
to this day. His instruments speedily
became known throughout the world,
and though a more rational method OF
graduation has since been adopted. the
popular mind still clings to the Fab

thought highly Of this humble inven.

Finds a $1,000 Pearl in Clam Shell

THlCAGO.-A $1,000 pearl, found In
~ a clam bake and subsequently
forcibly taken away by the dealer
who supplied the shellish. was taken
into custody the other day by Capt.
Max Banner of the police department,
pending a decision by Municipal
Judge Caverly Of question equally
perplexing as that Of the egg laid by
the famous haywood hen. AS a result
Judge Caverly was expected to give
the correct answer to the following
question:
If a clam dealer Is ordered to sup
ply clans for church dinner and
gives some of them to q carpenter,
who finds a $1,000 pearl in one Of the
shells. does the gem beong to the
church,"
Our Lady of Lourdes church, Leland
and North Ashland avenues, recently
gave a clam bake and ordered the
clans for the feast from Frank J. Dug
get, 70 South Water street While
carrying the clans into the church
Dugget gave half dozen to Elmer
Thesen, q carpenter, who was at work
in the building.
Thesen opened one Of the shells and
found the pearl. Thereupon Dugget
claimed the gem as his property, and
an argument regarding the ownership
followed, resulting in the dealer for
chilly taking possession of the pearl.
Thesen then had Dugget arrested on

quent than for many years before.
But there is little probability Of
such a crusade by the MohammedaEs
against the Christians. unless in the
event of a European coalition, having
for its object the dismemberment Of
Turkey in Europe and her expulsion
from the continent. The authority for
this is Mohammed Ali, whose por-
trait is shown, a descendant of the
great prophet who founded the Mo-
hammedan religion. Mohammed Ali
is now IN this country and he says
that holy war will never be de-
clared unless the Acknowledgement OF
the Ottoman empire is threatened.
Then. he says, there will be an up
rising OF the 175.000,000 Mohamme-
dams scattered throughout the world.
