How Romance Upset Progress

By EDWIN MARKHAM.

over by an inefficient post
mistress, whose lamentable short

custodian of mail have been COW
cred up as much as possible by
the efforts of her daughter,

find at the opening of Margaret

New York.
Finally, however, progressive
politics overcome neighborly toll
Grafton of lacks and losses in the
postoffice. 1t is decreed from
Washington that the partners,
mother and daughter. must give
way for new administration in
the Purham postoffice. Not even
the gift of blue plush album
from the pleading postmistress is
sufficient to placate the austere
United States Government au-
thorities.
So, after all the proud years of
public office, the discredited

and retire. Now comes William

NO not let the thermometer
L. fool you 1t is a very de-
ceptive instrument for
those who do not know how to
use it-and sometimes for those
who do, or think they do.
You may glance at your Their
mometer, hanging just outside the
door, one of these winter morn
ings. and see the mercury stand
ing at zero. Phew! You feel a
SILVER at the mere sight of that
needle of glacial metal, contract
ed down almost to the bottom of
its tube, as if seeking refuge, and
glttering there like miniature
icicle, cut off short.
You wrap yourself up as for an
arctic journey before venturlng
out: thrust your gloved hands
into your big overcoat pockets;
put on your ear shields; start on
a run for the office, or the rail-
road station, in order to get your
blood into a state of defensive
circulation-and, in Two or three
minutes you are streaming with
perspiration. You turn down
your collar, open your coat, and
find that the air is. though not
exactly balmy. decidedly bracing
and agreeable.
Yet there hangs that thermom-
eter steadily marking zero
1t has deceived you, but still 1t
has told the truth-yet not the
whole truth; only the truth as it
sees it. 1t is zero weather for the
thermometer but it is not zero
weather for you. Evidently your
bSdy and the thermometer have
not the same standards OF meas
urement
But. few days later perhaps.
YOU look again at your thermom-
eter on the porch as you are
about to go about your business,
and you find that it marks a very
comfortable sum of degrees above
zero-what might truly be called
balmy weather, for winter You
have forgotten the disagreement
that you had with the instrument
of science the other morning, and
you bow again, confdingly, to its
decree. 1t says the air is COM
fortably warm. and thermome-
ter surely ought to know, since it
is it's sole business to measure
temperatures.
You leave off your heavy coat
and your wraps. bare your throat,
and start braveIy away for Office
or station, trying to feel as genial

as the thermometer has assured
YOU that the weather is. But you
are not half way to your destina-
ton before a SILVER runs down
your back, your nose becomes an
icicle, your ears smart and burn.
and you begin to sneeze or cough.
You feel that you have laid the
foundation Of serious cold
which will probably put some
money in the pocket of your
neighbor, the doctor.
But if, scared by the thought Of
pneumonia, you return home in
haste, you will see, as you glance
at it in passing, that the Their
mometer on the porch still stares
you down with its impudent as
sertion that the air this morning
is only moderately cold-iust
about the right temperature to be
enjoyable and healthful
Now, where is the origin of the
deception, and why are you warm
when the thermometer is cold.
and cold when the thermometer is
warm?
The whole trouble arises from
the essential difference between a.
simple machine consisting of
glass tube and a little mercury
and complicated living body
with its multitude of interrelated
parts and functions. The Their
mCmeter has only one way Of
feeling changes of temperature,
and only one way OF responding
to them. viz, by either expansion
or contraction of the liquid metal
in its tube. The human body is
heat engine continually radiating
away the heat produced within it
by its vital processes. and its
principal means of feeling
changes of temperature occurring
outside itself is through the diff
ferent rates at which its Unborn
heat is radiated away to sur
rounding air
When the air is dry on = cold
morning there is little or no evap-
Grafton, and the skin is not Sc
riously affected by the cold. But
If the air IS charged with mois-
ture the invisible water drops
evaporate on touching the skin,
and by their evaporation abstract
heat from the body, which feels
the resulting chill deep within.
SO, if the air is. still, the cold does
not penetrate, but if it is breezy
new particles of cold air are con
tinually swept against the skin
and more and more heat is alb
stracted from the body

the symphony Society OF New York
has now n guarantee fund twice as
large as that which backs the Boston

This guarantee fund. Furthermore. is
here to stay. 1t renders the Symphony
Society absolutely Independent Of pc
cuniary considerations. 1t makes 1t pos

conductor perfect freedom in the Sc

the best soloists practicable. 1t makes

Since orchestral concerts are not as

public spirited act OF Mr.. Fiagler's will
have beneficial results. 1t is only by
the acquisition Of a guarantee fund In
one way or another that the permanence
Of an orchestra can be assured. New

There were orchestral concerts by Ave

amounted to about 100. while the or

houses and those given occasionally In

was not surpassed.
The chamber music concerts were
more numerous than usual and in this

significance through the importance of
