In most cases thermometer hung
in the fresh AR will not give the actual
temperature of the air, because it may
be subjected to the direct rays of the
sun and because radiation from the
thermometer can take place unim-
peded. Probably the best way to ex-
pose a thermometer in order to deter.
mine the temperature of the air is to
hang It in a shelter so made that air
may blow freely through it. A good
result may be obtained also by rapidly
whirling the thermometer in any out

which no fewer than 120 bushels of
snails were removed at cost in labor
of more than one hundred francs less
