at the large end and 3-8 inch at the narrow 
end. They may be fastened together with 
nfteen or twenty small rivets, or by solder- - 
ing them all around the edges. The two 
metals thus joined tend to curl and uncurl 
with changes in temperature, by reason of 
their different rates of expansion. The 
large end should be clamped to a block, B, 
as shown, and a contact screw should be 
provided at C, with a stiff wire, D, at- 
tached to serve as a screwdriver for adjust-

The inner and outer boxes are to be 
joined at the bottom by a passageway or 
tunnel three inches high, forming a door- 
way through which chicks may enter the 
brooding compartment under the egg cham- 
ber. The inner and outer boxes are to be 
joined near the top by three or four half- 
inch tubes for ventilation, as shown at /,

The top of the egg chamber is best cov-

which is laid a small pillow or several 
thicknesses of folded blanket.

not necessary to buy an expensive instru- 
ment in order to get accuracy; an ordinary 
ten-cent thermometer can be made to serve 
the purpose very well provided that its 
scale be properly corrected or “calibrated.” 
This may be easily accomplished by taking 
advantage of the fact that the internal tem- 
perature of a normal, healthy person is just 
a trifle over 98 degrees. Tie a thread 
around the tube at the place marked 98 
degrees on the scale, and remove the
