FOE SUPERINTENDENT OP PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, Sir Isaac Newton. According to Sir Samuel Wilkes, Fahrenheit constructed his thermometer from one made many year before by Sir Isaac Newton. 'In tbe transactions of the Royal society for 1701 will be found the paper written by Sir Isaac Newton, who was at that time secretary to the society, says Sir Samuel. He Invented an Instrument for measuring tbe degree of beat In fluids by taking a tube and filling it with linseed oil. On tbla be marked the freezing point as zero by putting tho tube In ice, and in tbe name way he marked the point when placed in boiling water. The very awkward scale which we now nse la evidently that of Newton, for the decimal system not being then in use, be took the number 12 to denote the heat of the body; this he found, and made It the starting point of bla scale both upward and downward. "It was some time after this tan, for convenience's sake, the degrees were divided into two, and thus the body heat was 24 above sera and boiling point 63. When, many years afterward, Fahrenheit made his instrument and used mercury instead of linseed oil, he again divided these degrees into four, so if the number be multiplied accordingly we bare 212 for the boiling point and 96 for the body heat. 'Fahrenheit, finding be could get a lower temperature than freezing, made this point zero, which brought the number 8 of Newton's to 32 of Fahrenheit. In this way the thermometer was constructed; awkward as the scale is, yet it is historically interesting as having been made by our own great philosopher and formed on the basis of the beat of the human body. Holding His Tongue. Tbe man who speaks a dosen tongue. hen all is said and done. who knows Don't hold a match to him how to keep still in one: The talker cope some good things here. much to be desired: thingsman The silent cops these and more, and doesn't make folks tired. Oh. you can have life's good thing you will: brought right to jrou If on a frown, Throw out your chest, put and lust keep still. silver The man who's known aa ton gued' may fool folk for a spell; Some few may take him at his word. believe all be may tell About himself for Just a while; but soon he'll make a slip. And heU be nicely put away, knocked out by his own lip: Oh. you'll get money la the bank and dollars In your till If you'll put on a thoughtful look and Just keep still. Full many men are dead and gooe who died for want of breath. And many who while still on earth have talked themselves to death; More sharper I nan a serpent's tooth is man s own reckless tongue When bung Inside an open face and au too loosely swung. Close up your face and ope your ears and drink In to your n,l This sage advice: Throw out your chest ana just keep Hlil. In public life's few lower rounds are some who chew the rag And some from dewy non till night sail In and punch the bag Because they like the sound of It; but list a while, you'll find The louder m the noise It makes the more its filled with wind. Be good and hush and you will get a great reward, you will; Throw out your chest and smile, or frown but Just keep si.X Houston Post. Him Complicated Task.
