Please correct your answer to q. 2. N,
who asks the reason for the difference IN
the numbering OF the Thermometer scales.
Nearly every Physics" gives a more or
less complete account OF what Fahrenheit
did.
Long before his time the Thermometer
had been used to determine changes VI
temperature. but Its Indications seemed
to show that the boiling point and the
Pressing point OF water were variable, and
UP to 1900 no absolute scale had been
adopted.
Fahrenheit put his thermometer In n
mixture OF ice and salt. which was the
coolest substance known at the time and
had the further advantages of maintain
Ing Its temperature at a fixed value as
Il melted and OF being easy to get H.
called this temperature zero OF his scale.
For the other nxed point he took the
temperature OF the human body by put

Some one has revived the Edison star

ley. Years ago you disposed OF that cues
lion. but how? ID H. LAMB
II Is now n matter II four years since
the Edison star has caused commotion IN
the minds OF undevout astronomers In
1910 the questions came in from Massa-
chusetts as the eastern limit OF inquiry
and from Ohio at the western verge. This
probably does not so much represent tn
RANK. OF belief IN the artificial star as II
does the general limit OF the habit OF
writing to this paper for the solution OF
difficulties. The gst Of this belief In
star made with hands is that Mr.. Edison
produced a new iumlnary and set II In
the evening sky to ind an orbit for itself
Hitherto II has been a summer question
and the answer has been that the brill anc'
OF Mars has attracted the attention OF
many to whom the stars In the courses
are unfamiliar. Just which star or planet
IL meant in the mdwInter sky is lmpossl'
BILE to determine without the measurement,
of right ascension and declinatlon. for II
is with particular insistonce upon albedo

good word although II means nothing al

You would believe him because you
know he has the money Yet Ford
cannot divide S12,500,000 by $4,000
more accurately than l can. l know
what the result is as well as he does.
l know that if Ford's employees, in
common with all the rest of the peo-
pie in the United States, owned the
Ford factory, precisely as they do the
parcel post, that the employees, in
stead of Mr.. Ford and his partners,
would get the remaining $12,500,000 a
year All this is but the simplest
truth, and the sooner the working
class of the United States awaken to
its truth the sooner will Ford wages"
and better-be paid to everybody in
the United States.
But every industry IN the United
States is not a Ford automobile fac
tory-this from our friends the graft
ers who want to keep things precisely
as they are. Hardly anybody, they
say, is making so much money as Ford
and almost nobody could afford to pay
so much wages as he is paying.
Nonsense! Every great industry in
the United States can afford to pay as
much as Ford is paying. Little bust
ness men could not afford to pay as
much, because they are doing business
in a wasteful, picayuenish way, but
the great industries are as we'll able
as Ford to pay what he is paying.
The great trusts, which have nearly,
If not quite, destroyed competition in
their respective lines-those trusts
are in far better position than is Ford
to pay high wages Ford's business
seems an exception to ordinary indus
tries only because his dividends are so
large. Let me tell you why his divid-
ends are so large.

1913 made profits of $25,O0O,00O, The
