' . 0 Thermometer’* Invention 1* Credited to palileo The invention of the thermometer Is variously ascribed—to Galileo about 1597, and to various others in the next fifteen or twenty years. The thermometer we still use in the United States, although much of the rest of the world has abandoned ft for ■ better one, was Invented a century later by an eminent German natural philosopher and experimenter, Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit Fahrenheit is said to have been the first who used mercury in the construction of thermometers. His zero was the point to which the mercury fell in his experimental tubes in the winter of 1809. By a mixture of salamoniac, salt and snow, he was able to reproduce this same degree of cold, and he supposed It to be the minimum. One of the principal features of Fahrenheit's • Invention was his division of the tube into degrees, so that the exact rise and fall could be determined. Two of his contemporaries, Reaumer and Celsius, did the same thing, but they took the freezing point—or the melting point of ice—as their zero—the equivalent of Fahrenheit’s > degree 32. Reaumer's scale, like Fahrenheit’s, was a rather arbitrary one, but Celsius, having determined the freezing and boiling points of water, divided the temperatures between them into 100 degrees. His scale, called the centigrade—a hundred steps—has come Into general use in continental Europe and is much used for scientific purposes elsewhere.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. I Coconut Palm I* Valued fog Variety of Product* No tree, perhaps, provides such a variety of human needs as the coconut palm, says the National Geographic Magazine. It gives food and drink—the latter particularly Important on smaller Islands of the South Seas where there are no water holes. Often travelers on these islands have gone for ten days with nothing to drink but coconut milk. Also, the coconut palm finishes, besides the copra of commerce, a strongly alcoholic toddy and a sticky sirup resembling treacle. The husks and shells provide fuel and the dried spathe is excellent tinder. The shells serve as plates, spoons and water bottles Mats made from the leaves for walls and for beds; the dried leaves, tied 'into bundles, give light as torches and dares. The spines of the leave* are made into brooms and the central stalk provides a weak timber which is put to a number of use*. The outer skin of this stalk is useful where a strong, tough rope Is required, as in lashing the gunwale of the canoe to the dugout log. The rope made from the husk fiber serves all I general purpose*, from house-tie* to fish line*. A coarse covering at the base of the leaf, which at first glance looks like a roughly woven fabric, is made into strainera and sieves. The actual trunk of the palm, although not very durable, is made into spear* and walking sticks, or cut into log* for sitting platforms.

WYSONG TO SPEAK TO MICHIGAN CLUB

Will Tell How Conservation Clubs Operate in Hoosier State —Has 459 Clubs in Indiana. Recognition of Indiana’s success in eliminating predatory fish from lakes and streams has come to the the form of an invitation extended state department of conservation in to Milton H. Wyesong to address a gathering of Michigan sportsmen in Dowagiac. Mr. Wysong, educational director of the Indiana department, has been asked Co tell how conservation club* in the Hoosier state, most of them organized by him, have accepted responsibility for removal of gar, buffalo and other such fish, without expense to the state. Through use of spears and sei ns, under permits from the state department, rapid progress has been made throughout Indian* in the war against predatory members of the finny tribe. Mr. Wysong, a pioneer in the movement, has been asked by the Michigan department of conservation to tell one or more Michigan gatherings about the procedure in Indiana. The Hoosier state now has about 450 conservation clubs, with 70,000 members. Mr./Wysong says their efforts have resulted in cutting fish and game law violations to about one-twentieth of what they previously were. He is loud in praise of Indiana’s amateur sportsmen, most of whom have accepted their responsibilities in utmost sincerity. “Fishing,” said Mr. Wysong, “will remain good in the ; Hoosier state. The conservation clubs are making certain of it.”

’SWINE DAY VISITORS STUDY CORN GROWING I The yielding ability and quality of new hybrid strains of com were displayed in a 20 acre field to about 800 farmers recently at the Purdue Swine Farm. One hundred new hybrid strains of dent com are being tried there under average central Indiana com growing conditions in comparison with the best locally adapted homegrown strains of corn and with the hybrids commercially available and suitable for this locality. R. R. St. John of the Agricultural Experiment Station Staff explained these trials. He reported that the best commercial hybrids outyield the best home grown corn, a strain of Krug, by six bushels per acre as an average for four years on this farm. Some very good commercial hybrids from central lowa and from central Illinois were shown to be well suited to this section of Indiana. Hoosier Hybrid, developed at Purdue University, led the field of commercial hybrids for this section of Indiana. Results of these trials showed that seed selected from hybrids is inferior to first year crossed seed. Where Hoosier Hybrid averaged 64 bushels of corn per acre in four year trials, • seed selected from Hoosier Hybrid I averaged 56 bushels per acre and • home grown corn averaged 55 bush'els per acre. ' Home grown seed selected from : the field each year has been the ■ highest yielding ordinary strain of corn in these trials. The homej grown strain of corn matures fully , and has excellent feeding quality. I The simple method of selecting this seed in barrels on a horsedrawn ’sled was demonstrated. | St. John showed ears of com polI linated on different dates during the heat wave in July. At Lafayette, early pollinating com produced well | filled ears. From July 19 to 26 temperatures ran above 109 degrees and many ears were either not pollinated, because the pollen was killed by heat and drouth. Others were pdl- , linated but the young embryos of seeds were killed by the heat and only the kernel hull developed. Mr. St. John pointed out that some of the imperfectly filled ears might have the best breeding and most desirable maturity.’ Irregularly shaped grains yield equally with regular grains when they were properly , dried. Ears that are not completely filled are more to ear rots ( and require more careful drying and storage, he pointed out.
