In view of the abnormal weather

think a tribute of respect should be
paid to the memory of Gabriel Daniel
Fahrenheit. who was born on Septem.
Der 16. either in 1876 or 1740. it 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 chow how the feat could
be successfully accomplished.
The first thermometers were made
with spirits of wine; but the ingeni-
our 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 more rational method of
graduation has since been adopted, the
popular mind still Clings TO the Fab,

thought highly of this humble inven-
tor and acknowledged his genius by
making him one of its fellows. To the

nail or small stone will hold the end
in place. In few minutes the water
will work its way up the strips-just
as kerosene runs up the wick in a
lamp-over the edge of the vessel,
and down to the plants, and will con-
tinue to distribute the water drop by
drop as long as any remains in the
pail.
The wider the strip the more water
it will furnish; therefore, suggests the
Youths Companion, it is best to use
wide strips for the larger plants. and
narrow ones for the smaller plants. A
wash boiler full of water should sup
ply moisture to the plants for several
days; the exact length Of time will de-
pend of course on the number Of
plants and the width of the muslin

The onward march of civilization

Shirts icing made for man and not

a new shirt or one comes back from
the laundry the moral uplift needs the
application of the safety brake and the
emergency clutch to keep US from
dropping into the cellar again.
Shirts are made of various kinds of
materials. After the sewing is fin.
ished they are left for few hours in
a strong mixture of glu9 and con.
crete This fastens the back to the
bosom and sticks the sleeves togeth-
er. Buttonholes are then MADE in the
ckband. and the band is then steep
ed in cement so that the buttonholes
cannot be opened The bosom is then
adorned with buttons. These but
tons are seweG on with one weak
thread. so that when you try to but
ton the shirt, after having pried 1t
apart with a paper knife and strong
language, the buttons will fly away
merrily.
Shirts that are laundered are al.
ways sent back with the lower but.
ton buttoned in. and all the button.
holes glued tight.
Dress shirts are made with We
neered bosoms. with little round holes
where the studs are only supposed
to be placed These bosoms are abso.

be inserted without the aid of sledge
