TEST YOUR BAROMETER.

pon't expect a barometer to tell you
the truth about the weather until you
have teated It thoroughly. Two eom
mon causes for unreliability are nlr
and water mixed with the mercury In,
the tube. These can be expelled by
boiling the mercury,
In order (o tent a barometer let It
hanpr for n time In the proper position;
then gently and with rare Incline It so
that the mercury may strike against
the glass tube. If theK? U no air with
lu you w|ll bear a sharp metallic click,
but If the Bound la dull and inullied It
Indicates the preaenco of both air and
uioLsture. The presence of air alone la
ahowu by minute bubble*.
If at any time the mercury aeeuis to
adhere to the tube, even In the slight
est degree, and the con rer surface as
sumes a more flattened form It Is safe
to conclude that either air or moisture

Instrument should be put Into expert

careless handling. In fact, any barom

was tilussepangelo Fonzl. an Italian
dentist, who started practice in Paris
In 1 7i)H and. thanks to his skillful
treatment of Lucien Bonaparte! soon
made Ids way. After years of experi
ment he discovered the substance
from which artificial teeth are made
and received the gold medal of the
French Academy of Science. One of
the earliest persons (ltted with false
teeth was the empress of Russia. Aft

pension of l.OCH) ducats for a net of
