Herr Luders. Of Gorlitz. has recently
invented a thermometer for ascertain
ing the temperature Of .he depths Of
the sea. Its action depends on the diff
ferent electric conductivities Of sub
stances at different temperatures In
side a glass tube are fixed a spiral iron
wire and a bar Of carbon. which only
touch at their lower ends. Their other
ends are connected to copper wires,
which constitute an electric circuit, and
in this circuit there is a galvanometer
which indicates the differences in the
current due TO the variations in the
