Lack of Statesmen
At Buckeye Meeting

Considerable regret is being expressed
today by members Of the Ohio Society
over the fact that the meeting which
was held at Rauscher's last night failed
of its purpose in greeting the new Con-
gressmen from Ohio. In addition to this
the president Of the society. Justice
Day, was unable to attend owing to
illness In the family.
Owing to a surfeit Of politics the
new members of Congress who were
specially invited were conspicuous by
their absence. Some 200 members trans
acted the usual routine business. and
reports showed the society to be In
good shape. The annual banquet OF the
society Is scheduled for January q.
The speaker of the evening was Carm
A. Thompson. Assistant Secretary oi
the Interior. and former secretary ot
state of Ohio, who spoke on the de-
velopment and history Of the primary
election laws Of the State. The town
ship, county, and State conventions
first meetings of electors, and the
Bronson law for the protection of the
voter, were dwelt upon.
What especially pleased the audience
was the reference to the fact thai
buckeyes held about all the Offices ir

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 Is, either in 1876 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 1t lay with a bankrupt merchant
Of Dantzig to show how the feat could
be successfully accomplished.
The first thermometers were made
with spirits of vine; bit the ingeni-
our Gabriel soop adopted mercury as
his medium, and so it has remained
to this day. His instruments speedily
became known throughout the world
and though more rational method of
graduation has since been adopted, the
poppiar 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 its fellows. To the

tributed several papers.-Pall Mall

could not realize what it meant until
the lake formed by the Hatfield dam

passed on to the Mississippi.
Just out of reach of the flood the
business men and residents of the
place watched the waters carry away
the buildings that represented the
homes of business enterprises which
it had taken years of effort to build.
Among the larger industries seemingly
wiped out within a few minutes was
the plant Of Coles Carbolisalve. This
plant, along with others that suffered a
like fate, is today being rebuilt. and
the business men of Black River Falls
