T™ nerve-torturing racket made by trolley cars pounding over worn-out crossovers is a needless nuisance from which New Yorkers suffer day and night. In hot weather, when tired people must either sleep with their windows open or suffocate, this particular noise becomes a horror. Residents in the neighborhood of Broadway and Fifty-third Street may congratulate themselves that Public Service Commissioner Hay- ward has served notice on the New York Railways Company that ite badly worn crossovers at the intersection of these two thoroughfares must be taken up and replaced with smooth and practically noiseless track-plates, But we hope the Commissioner has no idea of stopping there, All over New York cars and nerves are constantly assailed by the din ng from flat car-wheels, faulty switches and dilapidated rails, No city in the world has to bear so much unnecessary racket from pound- ing wheels and loose tracks on its surface car lines. All that is needed is proper repair and replacement, plus a little grease for switches and curves, Why doesn’t the Public Serviee Com- mission make a systematic study of needless noises due to neglected wheels and rails?

HERE are two kinds of feminine laughter—the kind which shows an empty head, and the kind which hides an empty heart. 4 T The woman, the love, or the habit, to which a man clings forever 1s usually the one which he feels he can drop at any moment. The man who has gone through all the varying stages of a love- affair, bas travelled around the universe, with stopovers in heaven and in purgatory, Some women are born for matrimony, some achieve matrimony—but every one of them has to pretend, afterward, that it was thrust upon her. What a woman “believes” about her husband and what she KNOWS about him are, happily for him, two very different things. Alas! in choosing a husband, it 1s SO hard to find just the happy me dium between a lump of protoplasm that starves out your soul and a bundle of temperament that wears out your nerves, Clothes do not make tho woman! They only make that part of her with which the average man falle tn love. A man can run out of nearly everything except self-confidence and still manage to get along in the world. Marriage {s the operation by which a woman's vanity and a man's otiam are extracted without gas. | Dollars and Sense i By H. J. Barrett. How a Printer Avoids a Succession of Rush Orders.

It is probable that about the beginning of the seven- teenth century several eminent au- thorities were at work along this line of research, while Galileo had, about 1610, already invented his air ther- moscope, By many historians he has been mistakenly credited with the creation of the thermometer familiar to us at the present day, By others, Santorto, an eminent physician of Padua, and Cornelius Drebbel of Hol- land are the persons to whom the distinction 1s ascribed, The first thermometers were tended merely to indicate v in the temperature of the atmosphere, the instrument in its original form consisting of a hollow glass ball at} one extremity of a long tube, which | Was open at the opposite extremity, | the air within the ball and tube being | rarefied by the heat of a lamp and the tubo being in a vertical position. The open end was plunged into a ve: sel containing a colored spirit, the pressure of the atmosphere on this spirit causing it to ascend In the tube till the expansive force of the alr in| the ball and the upper part, of the tube became equal to the pressure. | In this stage an increase of the tem- perature caused the air in the ball to expand and press down the spirit in the tube; on the other hand, a dimt- nution of temperature, by causing the air to contract, allowed the external | pressure to raise the splrit, About the middle of the seventeenth century the members of the Academia del Cimento caused the construction of thermometers in which, instead of air, aloohol or wine was supplied, the theory being that alcohol provided a more reliable test in that it dilates or contracts considerably with the varia-| tion of temperature and is also Cal able of measuring very low tempera. tures, while at a later date Sir Isaac | Newton substituted Mnseed ofl with only negative results. | The rmometer now in use ts a} slender tube of glass terminating in a bulb containing mercury, the air hav-| ing boen expelled and tho tube after-| ward hermetically sealed. Olaf Romor, the discoverer of the motion of Nght, 1s unquestionably the first to perfect and recommend the mercurial thor- Rometer, the use of which datea from ‘The last atage in the development of the recorder of heat variation was attained in 17230 by Daniel Gabricl not until 1794 that the merourial ther. | mometor was introduced into England, The familiar thermomoter scale with ita fixed pointe ia credited to Mahren- | helt, Just on what grounds or how he arrived at there points has never! been determined, but there ia little doubt that ono of lin extreme tosts was that of boiling water, while th Which ta the zero of the seal as that at which the top of the ex unin stood when the instrument was exposed te an intense cold in 1. see you—a dirty loafer Insuited me.” aily Ma¢asine, Wednesday, Auguste 16, 1910" lida of Immortal ly IN THE DESERT, by Honore de Balvac, Stories of Stories Albert Payson Terhune fection Masterpieces, " rr) ' ’ 1 ‘ » were te ’ . iwe ratver Chan nk f rr 1 e e © caver fone | 4m opt into the cave and Bow alee t yt hun and the door an to 1 ed not row space, he be clawed to t Presently panther awob ' i ‘ Thus b se " ‘ ‘ Ihe 1 rigged up a dist ye of any passing Freneh cavalrymen, In the me snd the pan lived on Very happily together in thelr desert solitude, Then, one ¢ came the end.
