THE SEHSITIVE MILOMETER. It Measures the Most Infinitesimal Cbanges of Temperature. It is no matter for great surprise to be told, that the different por- tions of the epectrum Into wnich a bea,w of llitht is spread out show different degrees of temperature when tested by an apparatus of suf- ficient delicacy. It appears, in point of fact, that the dark lines in the spectrum are also areas of relative coolliese and that the spectrum snay be cearted by moving a sufficiently delicate heat measurer along it. The instrument with which this feat of measuring infinitesimal gra- dations of temperature is accom- plished is known as a bolometer, in- vented by the late Prof, Lan.gley. The principle on which the bolo- meter is coustructed demonstrates that any change, of temperature in a metal changes the capacity of that metal as a conductor of electricity. By using an excessively tenuous, flattened thread of platinum for Isis conductor and an exquisitely sensi- tive galvanometer to register the effects Langley produced an instru- ment which will respond to changes of temperature so slight in degree that no one could reasonably have supposed theta measurably. Indeed, the feats accomplished by the little instrument are as in- credible, not to say fantastic, as the feats of the spectroscope itself. A generation ago bastrumenis for physical research had attained a high stage of developraent, but to measure a change of temperature of one -thousandth of a degree was eonsidered a remarkable feat, But the perfeeted Langley beim:teeter measures a change of one hundred millionth of a degree. It is com- petent to deal with the infinitesimal quantities of beat that come to us front such bodies as the moon and the brighter stars. The Emperor's Beard. It is almost impossible to imagine the venerable countenance of the Em- peror Francis eoseph without his bushy sidewhiskers. The latest story is that the Emperer has been wanting for some time to shave them off. The Emperor's nearest relatives, so the story goes, have been much alarmed at the prospect of seeing the aged head of the Hapsburgs without his world faraous beard, and they raa.de urgent representatiosis to the effect that his fade' adornment is unique anaong European rulers, that, it is pic- turesque, and that it has the distinct merit of having created what is re- garded as the exclusive Austrian type, which undoubtedly it has done. Side whiskers a la Francis Joseph are popular in the dual monareleY, es- pecially in the army, and so the Em- peror, in the face of urgent remon- strances, has had to yield, The Angler Fish. A singular superstition about the angler fish is entertained in some parts of Sweden (Bohuslan), ac- cording to Mahn and &mitt, "It is so feared by many that the tackle is cut as soon as the 'monster' reaches the surface, and its captor hurries horae in order to int there, if possible'before the misfortune portended by the monster overtakes him." The extreme of misfortune -death-is believed by some to be indicated. Nilsson tells that the Swedisb fishermen on the batke "believe that on board the vessel on which an angler is taken sorae one is doomed to die soon. They therefore never or hardly ever take the angler on board, but prefer to cut the line and thus lose the hook with the fish," St. Peter's In Rome.

BRASS ROD MONEY. Currency That Used to Elis Very Popu- Jar With African Natives. Tile annual "bullion letter" of Messrs. Stimuel elontugu & Co. of London sug- gests thlit the phrase expressive of weelth, "plenty of brass," was intro - (Weed into England by sailors trading with towns at the mouths of the great African rivers, though the brass rods used by the natives are now passing into the limbo of things obsolete. A. brass rod at elomserob was fifteen inches long and not quite so thick as a slate pencil. Everything had its price In brass rode -one egg equaled. one brass rod; a fowl, ten brass rods; two yards or cloth, twenty brass rods; a male slave, 000 brass rods, and a fe- male slave, 2,500 brass rods. The bras e for these rods was origi- nally melted down for their brass orna- ments -anklets, necklaces, armlets, leg rings. bafte of spears, paddles and handles of knives, etc, It was using the brass for this purpose that first gave it any real value to them. In 1800 the brass rods still retained their value. It is quite possible that the rods dimmed braids in fathom lengths. and those who came into possession of these lengths each cut off tt little piece to procure a little bit of brass for noth- ing, and hence the length was gradual- ly shortened until in 1800 It was fifteen Indies. Tile process of shortening con- tinued, and in 1005 the standard. length was only eleven inches.

OF IDLING It Is a Part of the Indolent Life of the Leisurely Turk. WHERE SITTING IS EXERCISE. In the Orient the Plaeld Natives Re. gard What We Would Call Loafing as a Mork of Respectability -A Trip In a Calque on the Oelclen Herm Otie of the first words in the Turkish Ineguage that I learned to recognize was kyef or keit Malting kyef was a vevy common occupation, judging from the eurnber of times that 1 heard the word used. The dictionary deatiltion of hyee is "health," "pleasure." Health and pleasure are not always synony- mous, but they seemed to be in this case, for People who said they bad been making lied always looked both liappy and healthy. To tile average American the idea represented by the word kyef is about as foreign as tee word iteelf. You could not possibly make kyef at a foot- ball genie or a horse Mee or automo- biting up to the lioalt of police regula- tions, One thing soon becomes evident to the scientific investigator of kyef. Whatever it May be, keret is made evithout haste, without exciteinent and, above all things, without noise. Leisure, idling if you like, has been reduced to a tine art in the orient. „There is,no place in the world where doing nothing is so respectable. Able- bodied men sit unblushingly at midday in a coffee house drinking numberless cape of strong, black coffee, smoking a reargile and staring at a chessboard for hours at a time. Loafing we call it in America; in Italy, doles far dente; in Turkey, making kyef. The oriental is slow and easy in bis amusements. He lingers over his pleas- ures, making them last as long as pos- sible. None too fond of exerting him- self, most of his exercise is taken sit- ting still, The Turkish verb otur,. ;which means "sit," is much used both in word and in action. They sit over a cup of coffee in an out of door cafe, they sit under a tree smoking a ciga- rette, they sit for four hours making you a visit, and they may sit the live- long day out in a grassy field or on the banks of a stream doing nothing at all. The Turks are fond. of outdoors. And one is not surprised. The highest point of Constantinople is Tchamlidja, a bill that stands a few miles back from the Scutari landing on the Asiatic side. The view rrom this bill is one whose beauty casts a spell that lasts as long as memory lasts. "See Naples and die" runs the old saying, but do not die be- fore you have seen Constantinople from Tchamildja. There are many open fields ha and about Constantinople to which the peo- ple resort on high days and bolidays. the brilliant colors of the native dress standing out against the greenest green and the bluest blue of the natural background. And. everywhere the daz- zling sheen of water, the silvery, calm snrface of the Marmara stretching away in the distance and the blue *winding Bosporus at our feet. There Is a bush about a Turkish holiday gathering whicb is always like a,Stm- day. Calcines glide noiselessly by, peo- ple sit iu groups or saunter about on the shore, like the figures in it picture, everybody making kyef in his own way. One of the popular resorts for great nurabers of people is the Sweet Wa- ters of Europe, a small stream of fresh water flowing into the upper part of the Golden Horn. The best and easiest way to reach this place, the stranger is told, is by rowboat up the Golden Horn. This "best and easiest" way is, however, a bit trying to the nerves.
