In England and the United States
the thermometers are mostly on Fab
reDheit's scale, which makes 1870 de-
grees between freezing and boiling.
But n, the early period when the scale
was formed, it was supposed that the
lowest possible temperature was that
produced by mixing snow and fine
salt. Fahrenheit, therefore, plunged
his bulb into the mixture, when the
mercury sank below the freezing
32-180ths Of the distance bewteen
that and The boiling point. The low
est point was therefore marked as re-
70, and beginning to count upwards
from this, on scale Of equal parts,
freezing became 81, and boiling one
hundred and eighty higher, or 2.12.
