Little does one think when he is
in bed with fever, with a piece of
glass sticking out of his mouth and
the doctor waiting impatiently for
it, to what great trouble the makers
of the thermometer have gone to
make the instrument accurate. The
things necessary in a good clinical
thermometer are, first and above
all, one that reads accurately; sec­
ondly, one that will show the tem
perature change in the shortest pos­
sible time; thirdly, one that will
not carry germs, and, fourthly, it
must be self registering.
The self registering device is in
geniona. I t ahows the highest tem'
ture to which the thermometer
been subjected and does not
“come back” till put back by the
physician. Ju st above the mercury
oulb there is a smaller bulb, noth­
ing more than a widening of the
tube. Above thia is a contraction
in the glass, making the tube very
small indeed. When the mercury
expands it is forced up through
this contraction by the enormous
pressure of heat expansion, but
when it coo I b off and starts to come
back with nothing pulling it but its
weight, it eannot come. The physi
cian, after looking at it, generally
its it back by holding it in his
~, bulb outward, and describing
a semicircle very quickly with his
arm. The centrifugal force here
developed is greater than the weight
of the mercury and to brings it back.
The United States government,
through its bureau of standards,
took an interest in the accuracy of
nlininal thermometers on the mar­
ket and requested several firms to
submit samples for inspection. All
did so and awaited with anxiety the
result of the bureau’s tests. I t wss
found that a large number of the
ones submitted did not agree with
recognized standards and that their
accuracy waa therefore pone too
great. So the bureau undertook to
examine and fully teat all thermom­
eters got out, at small cost, and to
put on them the mark of the bu­
reau, which guarantees their accu­
racy at the time of testing and their
continued accuracy within small
limits for the rest of the time.
Their inability to guarantee accu­
racy after testing is due to the un­
known factor of glass contraction,
due to cooling from excessive heat
in their manufacture.
On the end of every thermometer
tested, therefore, are to be found
etched in the glass the letters B. S.
and following them the serial num­
ber of that particular thermofneter,
so th at whenever it is desirable or
necessary one can always see wheth­
er or not be is using a government
tested instrument. — New York
Tribune.

Paine tells how the great humorist,
Mark Twain, first really adopted
the name when writing for a Ne­
vada newspaper in 1863.
“He was not altogether satisfied.
His letters, copied and quoted all
along the coast were unsigned.
They were easily identified with one
another, but not with a personality.
He realised th a t to build a reputa­
tion it waa necessary to fasten it to
an individuality—a name.
He gave the m atter a good deal

use of his own name. The nom de
ilume was the fashion of the time,
e wanted something brief, crisp,
definite, unforgetable. He tried
over a good many combinations in
his mind, but none seemed convinc­
ing. Ju st then—this was early in
1863 —news came to him th a t the
old pilot he had wounded by his
satire, Isaiah Sellers, was dead. At
once the pen name of Captain Sel­
lers recurred to him. That, was it
—that waa the sort of name he
wanted. It waa not trivial; it had all
the qualities. Sellers would never
need it again. Clemens decided he
would give it a new meaning and
new association in this faraway
land. He went np to Virginia City.
“ ‘Joe,’ he said to Goodman, 1

“It was first signed to a Carson
letter bearing date of Feb. 2, 1863,
and from th a t time was attached to
all Samnel Clemens’ work. The
work was neither better nor worse
than before, but it had suddenly ac­
quired identification and special in­
terest. Members of the legislature
and friends in ‘Virginia’ and Car-
son immediately took it up, and
within a period to be measured by
weeks he was no longer ‘Sam’ or
‘Clemens’ or ‘that bright chap on
the Enterprise,’ but ‘Mark’—‘Mark
Twain.’ No nom de plume was ever
so quickly and generally accepted
as that.” ________ -
