THE THERMOMETER.

Mr. James Parton. ..in an interesting ar
ticlc in the New York Ledger, in which no
refers to the yariousimprovements made by
Gabriel Fahrenheit and others. concludes
as follows.
| The use Of the thermometer has added
greatly to our knowledge and is doubtless
destined to play still more important part
lin the future. The following fact may
be interesting. The lowest degree Of ar
titicial cold that has yet been produced is
one hundred and eighty. seven below zero.
The hardest thing to freeze is carbonic acid,
which requires temperature of one hun
dred and forty-eight below zero. At forty
below zero incrciry freezes; and tais
Is also the average winter at Nova Zembla.
The average temperature of the year ronnd

interior of the earth. grows warm as we de-
cend. The temperatu.e at the bottom of

feet deep, is seventy-three; but there are
some mines, not more than one thousand
feet deep, where the temperature begins to
be oppressive, and the thermometer marks
