HAVE NO UNIFORM STANDARD
Makers Of Thermometers Unable to
Agree Upon One Common
Starting Point

Three thermometric scales continue
In use despite all efforts on the part
Of scientists to bring about a uniform
standard. In the Fahrenheit Their
mometers the interval between freez-
ing water and boiling water is divid-
ed into $50 parts or degrees, freezing
water being placed at 80 degrees
above zero or the point OF intense
cold, so that the boiling point of wa
ter was denoted by 212 degrees. Rene
Antoine Ferchalt de Reaumer, the
French savant, inventor of the Their
mometric scale bearing his name,
adopted the temperature of freezing
water as his zero, and marked Off
eighty equal parts or degrees between
that point and the temperature Of
boiling water Celsius, a Swede, in
vented about the year 1850 a mode OF
graduation called the Centigrade, in
which he took the freezing of water
as the zero point, and divided the
interval between that and the boiling
point into 100 degrees. Thus 212 de-
grees Fahrenheit is equal to so de-
grees Reaumer or 100 degrees Cent?
grade; 60 degrees Fahrenheit is equal
to IL 40 degrees Reaumer or 1919
degrees Centigrade.

BLACK LETTERS AND WHITE
Former Can Be Read at a Greater
Distance Than the Latter. Is
Judgment Of Experts.

There is a tendency on the part Of
railroads to adopt signs with white let
tiers on black background, not realiz-
ing that the black letter on a white
background is easier to read and can
be seen at a greater distance. This
follows in an interesting way from
the structure of the retina of the eye.
The impression of letter at the
limit of vision is received on the ends
of a small bundle of nerves which con-
vey to the brain sort Of mosaic i'm
preston. A nerve can only transmit
to the brain information as to whether
or not ray of light is falling upon it,
and when a nerve is partly in the light
and partly in darkness the sensation
is the same as though all of it was
in the light.
1t follows, therefore, that all nerves
on the dividing edge between any
black and white area transmit the SEN
sation of light so that all white lines
and white areas appear wider and all
black lines and black areas appear
narrower than they really are.
Black letters grow thinner at the
limit of vision and are still recognize.
able, while at the same distance white
letters grow thicker and cannot be dis
tinguished. There are circumstances
when it is necessary to use white let
ters, but in such cases legibility will
be improved If they are made with a
thin stroke and strongly lighted. Black
letters are more distinct if made with
a heavy stroke.-Scientific American

Trade In Human Hair.

Trade in human hair is a big in.
dustry abroad, exports sometimes
reaching a total of 100000 to $4,-
100000 year. Italian merchants lead
In the trade, and obtain a large part
of their stock from the peasant wom-
en- of Italy, Switzerland and Dali
malta. A peculiar method is in
vogue among the women of these
countries in order to produce a supply
OF hair regularly, and yet not appear
to have been "shorn" at all. They cut
off half of the hair at the back of the
head and then twist the remaining
half over the exposed part and dress

of the human hair merchants come
around for the semiannual crop of
hair thus raised.-Popular Mechanics

Few Good Cooks Found.

The position of instructor in cook
ing having become vacant in a school
for girls in Paris, the directors agreed
to engage the cook who could pass the
best practical examination" Twelve
women applied, of whom six were ex-
amined on the first day in beefsteak,
omelets and apple cakes. Four of
the six, according to the report, were
failures" On the next day the re-
naming candidates prepared founders,
roast mutton and plum pudding. The
jury found that only two of the sec
ond group were competent, and that
of the ~ not one possessed all the
necessary requirements.

False Sore Throat.

II you come home after & hard days

your throat, which becomes quite
painful. do not be deceived into be-
lieving that you are contracting a sore
throat, and accordingly take medicine
for this affection. The throat will Oft
en- become dry and painful from great
fatigue, or from neglect to eat at the
proper time. II the subject will drink
cup OF hot water, or take a table
spoonful OF cocoanut or olive OIL, and
thereafter lie down and relax for If
teen or twenty minutes. the feeling
will, most likely, disappear. The sub.

HAD THE CHILDREN GUESSING
Chicago Youngsters Floundered Bad.
~ When Asked e Describe One
Ct the Simplest Flowers.

The pimpernel is a simple, sweet
little flower that grows widely, but Il
would seem practically unknown to
,hc public school children Of Chicago.
Tl.e, al least, was the conclusion
fc~oed mon a certain teacher after
irving out a line from Tennysons
".-eua' and asking for It's written
definition. The line was: "As the
Timpornol dozed on the lea" and here
are some Of the answers received, In
addition to those defining the pimper-
mel as "a frog" a "a small deer" "a
dragon fly" and "a small shrub like
prickley pear"
The word pimpernel calls up to my
mind the image of a pampered cur.
lie is a worthless brute who spends
most of his time doing in the sun
shine"
THE pimpernel seems to me a small
animal resembling an eel. II has short,
rounded ears and bright, beadlike
eyes. AS ! imagine It, the pimpernel
is lying half asleep on the grass near
the shore of lake, ready to slip into
the water at the slightest sound"
"a pimpernel seems to me a tramp
or gypsy. He lies on the bank in the
sun with an old battered hat drawn
over his face"
81 do not know what the word
means, but It instantly suggests to me
a small lizard covered with pimples
or warts. The image flashed upon my
mind as soon as the word was spoken
and is still vivid and distinct. AL
though never heard the word before,
l seem always to have known it and
to attach this meaning to 1t. l am alb
surdly confident that this is the true
meaning"
All of which would seem to prove
that the Juvenile imagination, given
free rein, can make strange work o.
almost any given thought or idea.

Kept Queen VIctorla,s Car.

The journey Of their majesties from
Windsor to Worksop was notable for
the fact that the old saloon with the
arched dome that has figured in the
composition of the royal trains for so
many years was not included in the
train. This historic vehicle, which
was the favorite railway carriage of
Queen Victoria, was dismantled at
Swindon a short time ago. 1t was one
of the oldest railway coaches running
in England, for Queen Victoria had
such a fancy for it that she disliked
the idea of giving it up after it had
become out of date, and some years
before her death 1t was heightened
and modernized, although the Original
part was kept as intact as possible

What a Wife Needs.

She needs a good temper, cheerful
disposition and a knowledge of how
her husband should be treated. She
needs a capability of looking on the
bright side Of life and refusing to be
worried by small things. She needs
secure grasp of such subjects as are of
interest to men, and should not be
above studying even politics, in order
to understand should her husband
speak of them. She needs a sympa.
thetic nature in order that, should sor-
row fall upon them, she may be able
to give comfort to her husband. She
needs to understand something of sick
nursing; a wife with no notion of what
to do in cases of illness is but a use.
less thing. She needs considerable
tact and patience-the one to enable
her to know when to remain silent and
vice versa, and the other to put up
with him when his temper is ruffled.-

PRAISES SAMUEL
UNTERMEYER

Ida NJ. Tarbell, writing on '"The
Hunt for Money Trust" in the
May American Magazine says that
Mr.. Byrnes, a member OF the Pujo
Committee, explained to her, as fol-
lows, his point of view about the
choice of man to carry on the in
quiry:
80 knew that If We could get a
man who'd lived and worked all mis-
life among those fellows he must nat
urally know who must be behind ev-
cry transaction we ought to look in
to. Take It in my district when any
thing happens there just say to my
self, John Smith was behind that
Sam Brown did thai" reckon it's
the same in Wall Street, so / wanted
a man who was at home there.
Miss Tarbell continues.
After several weeks looking, the
man who was at home there was
found--Samuel Untermeyer, who had
already done SO much towards fore.
ing and shaping the inquiry. Mr..
Untermeyer was chosen as the active
counsel for the Pujo Committee,
solely because the committee, after
examining a score or more of other
lawyers, concluded that he knew
more about the situation, and could
be trusted to handle it with more
courage and skill than any other man
they could select.
The results have INDICATED their
judgment. It is doubtful, II since the
Hughes investigation of the Life In
surance companies, SO logical and eff
fective a public inquiry has been con-
Quoted in the country. 1t has been al
most entirely free from buncombe
and irrelevant sensation.
There has been some serious crti-
cism Of Mr.. Untermeyer's method of
questioning. My own impression al
ter listening to 1t for a number OF
days, is That the criticism Is largely
due to sympathetic revulsion against
the almost uncanny cleverness of 1t.
The ordinary hesistating uniformed
mind finds It hard to forgive suc'
preparedness, such astuteness, such
catlike springs It isn't Christian to
be so able! AS an exhibition Of
relentless hanging to the points he
was trying to establish in the face Of
witnesses, who for the most part
did not too we'll understand what
he was trying to do and therefore
were more or less reluctant, 1t was
remarkable. On the whole 1t was
to my mind entirely legitimate.
