Famout Cheese Long
Made at Roquefort
Roquefort cheese cornea from the,
town of Roquefort perched high on a
mountain In the department of Avey
ron. French historians tell us that at
far back a "Bible times" cheese was
carried from Roquefort to the Medi
terranean sea. The peasant peopl
used to carry cheese to the top of the
mountain and hide it In caves, which
were found to be especially fitted by
nature for the storing of cheese. The
cool temperature of the caves made
them excellent storehouses. This
cheese Is made of sheep's mDk. Every
morning the milk Is skimmed, strained
and warmed almost to the boiling
point Then It Is pat Into pans and
- stirred with Willow wythee. A little
rennet la tied to curdle the milk.
After the curds are formed they art
mixed with a specially prepared bar
ley bread, which starts the green mold
always to be seen In Roquefort cheese
and helps to give It Its distinctive
flavor. The cheese Is allowed to re
main In the press several days and Is
then taken to the caves and sold.
There It Is cored with salt The out
side of the cheese Is rubbed with salt
until ti yores are filled. The cheeses
are c&ffl In the caves for about fow
months, when tney are shipped to
nearly all parts of the world.
Fahrenheit Made First
Thermometer of Valae
The first mercurial thermometer
was the Invention of Gabriel Daniel
Fahrenheit, who died September 18,
1780, about ten years after he had
made his name Immortal by perfect
ing a device for registering heat Be
fore his day crude thermometers bad
been Invented by Oullleo, DrebbeL
I'aoil. Snrpl and Sanetorlo, bat It was
left to the bankrupt merchant of Pant
ile to produce a really dependable de
vice. Fahrenheit's first thermometer wss
made with spirits of wine, but he
wn found this unsatisfactory and
adopted mercury, the medium that Is
nscd to this day. Ills Instruments
speedily spread throughout the world,
and, although the centigrade ther
mometer affords a more rational meth
od f gradation, the popular mind In
Knitlund and America clings to the
Fahrenheit scale.
lieuumurs and Celsius thermom
eter, now termed centigrade, are In
general use In the continent of Europe.

greatest of huinun utllli'tiuns should
often be dealt with k uiiiympatiutlcal

teemed with pathetic blind charai-ters.
but deaf people were seldom mentioned
except In a casuul way and as a sub

the (leaf mute was s far greater suf

serious and succoiful attempts to rep.

Walter Scott. Thackeray and Dickens.

suffered from deafness, the speaker
