THERMOMETERS. 



Our Thermometers are made from 

 seasoned lens tubes. Their accuracy 

 is guaranteed. Minimum Thermom- 

 eters consist of a glass tube ar- 

 ranged horizontally and filled with 

 alcohol, a black index moving freely 

 in the fluid. The instrument is set 

 by raising the bulb and allowing the 

 index to float to the end of the column 

 of alcohol; as the temperature de-

creases the column recedes carrying with it the index to the lowest point, where it remains, 

 while on an increase of temperature the alcohol alone reasceuds. The end of the index 

 farthest from the bulb snows the lowest temperature reached These Thermometers are of 

 the greatest value to planters, farmers aud any one wishing to know "how cold it got" 

 during the night. It would be impossible with the ordinary thermometer to exercise suf- 

 ficient watchfulness to obtain accurate results. Usually the coldest time during the 24 

 hours is between 5 and 8 o'clock in the morning. To get an accurate result of the degree 

 of cold these thermometers should be exposed to the north. They should not be exposed to 

 the sun and rain. It is as much of importance for any one to have a reliable thermometer 

 as it is lo have a reliable watch or clock.
