AS Silvanus Thompson points out.
one of the most remarkable instru-
ments of this type is the radio-microm-
eter devised by Vernon Boys. On this
instrument loop of fine silver wire is
suspended by a quartz fiber, between
the poles of a magnet. and this loop of
silver wire has its circuit closed at its
lower end by piece of antilnony and
Il piece of bismuth (or alloys of these
metals) sOldered to minute disc of
copper foil. A rise of temperature In
the copper foil, even so small as one
millionth of heat degree, will gen.
crate an electric current in the loop
and give a detection over one division
of the scale on the instrument. With
heat detecting instrument of this
type the radiant heat of Il candle can
be detected at n distance of two miles,
or the heat of human body ut GOO

FRIEND OF MINE.

When you are happy. friend O. mine.
And all your skies are blue,
Tell me your luck. your fortune fine,
And let me laugh with you.
Tell me the hopes that spur you on,
The deeds you mean to do.
The gold you've struck. the fame you've
won,
And let me joy-with youi
When you are sad and heart a-cold,
And all your skies are dark
Tell me the dreams that Knocked your
hold,
The shafts that missed the mark.
Am not yours for veal or woe?
How else can friends prove true!
Tell me what breaks and brings you love,
And let me stand-with you.
So. when the night falls tremulous,
When the last lamp burns low.
And one of us or both of us
The long. lone road must go.
Look with your dear old eyes in mine,
Give me handshake true:
Whatever fate our souls await,
Let me be there.-with you!

with the exception of one, met at the
Hotel Denison and organized the Craw-
ford County Dental club. The out of
town dentists were the guests at a fine
supper of the Denisonr dentists, after
which the new association was formed.
The association was formed for the
purpose of study and advancement H
the profession in Crawford county and
to keep abreast with other counties of
the state which have already organized
such associations. One of the first ben.
Gifts the dentists derived from the new
association was the closing of their
offices on Saturday afternoon through
out the summer months. Local dent,
lists for several years have closed their
parlors Saturday afternoons, but the
practice has not been general in the
other towns of the county. Every dent
list in attendance at the meeting Thurs
day evening was enthusiastic over the
new club and it is the general opinion
of all that much good win come from
the organization. Officers of the club
were not elected, but this will be done
