Of their visible qualities and use every one knows-- of how thjey come to. be made Yery few have the faintest idea. ' » Galileo Invented the thermometer about 1600, -taking as his basic principle the property of all bodies to expand with haat, and the assumption that this expansion is proportional to the degree of heat applied. Because of its susceptibility to heat merctfry waa generally used as the registering fluid. Where extreme cold is encountered alcohol must be used as mercury freezes at 39 degrees below zero. But as alcohol vaporizes with comparatively slight warmth it 6annot be universally used. Metals, nitrogen, air and steam are also used for measuring extremely high temperatures. •The zero of the Fahrenheit thermometer was fixed at the lowest temperature in the Winter of 1709, and for its upper_ fixed point was taken the heat of the body, marking it 96 degrees. In the centigrade, used mainly in the sciences, zero is the starting point, and .100 degrees the boiling point of water. Of the hundreds of special pnrpose instruments made one of the most useful is the clinical thermometer, used in ascertaining any change in the temperature of the hnpian body and thus making it possible to forestall disease. Every home should contain one of these invaluable instruments. We make a specialty of high grade thermometers, carrying in stock all those varieties commonh' used. - Those who appreciate good reliable instruments of this character should come here Tor them. / 3?h$ x^nge^ «K& ab to meet any requirement. ••rM •jjf .
