Upon heating of the mixture the liquid with lower boiling point is distillated first. Its vapors goes up and heats the thermometer, therefore, the first constant reading is observed. Then, when this liquid is finished, the temperature rises to the boiling point of the second substance. The reading remains constant, unless the larger part of the second substance is distillated. After this the temperature reading falls down because there are almost no more vapors of the second liquid which heats the thermometer.
