STATE WILL PAY HALF
OF the Expense of Repairing Clifford
Road over the Mountain.

Road over the MOUNTAIN.
State Highway Commissioner Stod
dard b. Bates, who, with a large par
ty of business men and Cross Stat
TRANSPORTATION company officials. in
vestigated on Thursday the feasibili
ty Of shortening the auto-line route
over the Green Mountains, declared
that the state would halve expenses
for the improvement of the Clifford
road. He doubted, however, tha
anything could be one this year IL
the matter of the Noyes road, which
if put in shape for use, would shorter
the cross-state automobile route by
about three miles.
The investigation was made at the
reauestion of the Cross-State people
for better thoroughfare between
Pittsford and the Woodstock road
The Clifford road, which branches
from the main turnpike halfway be
tween the summit and Shell
burne hollow, connecting the Shell
burne Pittsfiald read, is in bad con
dition for a two mile stretch. Com
missioner Bates thought the Clifford
road could be put in such good shape
by an expenditure of $500.
Three possible routes for the Cross
State steamers were considered, but
it was finally decided that the Gift
ford route was the most practicable
for the present year although hope
that the Noyes road might ultimately
be used was not abandoned
The proposals before the commits
sioner were:
An improveent of the Pittsfield
which connects with the Woodstock
turnpike near the RUDE Ranger place
This route is three miles shorter than
the others, but it was decided that
the task of putting it in shape would
be costly. 3G 4
An improvement of the Pittsfeld
Sherburne road, permitting the steam
ers to around Shelburne hollow. This
is a longer route, but the road is in
general much better.
The construction of new road
past the Willard mill. This route
would be the same length as the Gift
ford route, but the road would have
several steep grades, and the expense
of putting the thoroughfare in shape
would not be far from 100000.

perature, says a contributor to the
Youths Companion. The first essen
tails are a small vial and some salt
water. The smaller the vial and the
thinner the glass the more sensitive
will be the fluid to the changes OF the
temperature. 1t is well to color the
water with methylene blue or any of
the Easter-egg dyes that are soluble
in brian. The next thing to obtain is
glass tube about foot long, and
somewhat smaller in diameter than
the mouth of the vial. A capillary
tube will serve the purpose best.
over one end slip a piece of rubber
tubing about an inch long. The rub
Der should make the tube fit tightly
in the neck of the vial. To strength
en- the connection still further, cover
the point of juncture with sealing
wax. Now fiji the vial with the color
ed brine, and press the rubber-itted
end of the tube firmly into the neck OF
II so far that the fluid rises some dis
lance in the tube. Fasten the parts
thus far assembled to slender backing
of wood like the back OF an ordinary
thermometer, with hole in 1t to hang
by.
1t remains to give the instrument an
accurate scale. 1t can be marked with
ink directly on the tube, or OH the
wood, or on n strip of paper on one
side of the tube. The height to which
the column of fluid rises after you
have allowed the vial to stand for
some time in water that contains an
abundance Of ice or snow, is the freez
ing point. Mark it 80 degrees. 1t is
not wise to attempt to provide Tor a
temperature higher than 100 degrees,
for above that point the sealing wax
begins to get soft. Use a gallon or
more of warm water for the tempera-
lures above freezing, and test them
with the aid of an accurate stand
ard instrument. Having obtained a
temperature OF 100 degrees in the
water, maintain it there for 10 min
utes or more, until the column of the
handmade instrument comes to rest
The height to which the column rises
will be your 100 degrees mark. Hav-
ing found these two points. 1t is a
simple matter, with the aid of ruler
to lay off the scale between them
The thermometer is now ready for
use: and were 1t not for the fact that
water will very gradually eyaporate
from the top of the tiny tube. the in
strument will remain accurate for
years for use inside the house. A
minute plug of cotton forced into the
top, or cap of sealing wax, win cut
the evaporation down to the mini
mum. The saltwater thermometer is,
of course. not suitable for freezing or
for scalding temperatures; but for
general use in summer and for indoor
use in winter, it is entirely satisfact-
