What Is ZerO2

Perhaps not one in one hundred can tell
off.hand why point thirty two degrees be-.
low the freezing point on Fahrenheit's
thermometer is called zero. For that mat.
ter, nobody knows. The Fahrenheit scale
was introduced in 1870. Like other ther.
mon'etric scales it has two fixed points, the
freezing point, or rather the melting point
Of ice, and the boiling point Of water. The
Centigrade and Reau,mur scales call the
freezing point zero, and measure therefrom
in both directions. This is very natural
arrangement. Fahrenheit kept the prin.
ciple on which he graduated his thermom-
eter secret, and no one has ever discover.
ed 1t. It Is supposed, however, that he con
sidcred his -thirty.two degrees below
freezing-the point OF absolute cold or alb
sence OF all heat, either because, being
about the temperature Of melting salt and
snow, it was the greatest degree Of cold he
could produce artiticially, or because it was
the lowest natural temperature OF which,
he could find any record. The grounds on
which Fahrenheit put $50 degrees between.
the freezing and boiling points are likewise
unknown-St. Louis Ghobe- Democrat.
