Where tho Absolute Zero Lies.

The zero Of absolute temperature has
long been indicated as a mysterious and
important point In two ways. The first
Is the contraction of gases, which I'm all
known gases operates uniformly as the
temperature is lowered. As long as they
retain the gaseous state gases shrink I'm
volume so uniformly with each added de-
gree Of cold that an exact. unvaryine
line Of diminishing volume is established.
This line Is as unyaying as the pointing
OF the needle 20 the North Pole. II can
not be explained any more than the aC-
ton OF the needle can be explained. As
every gas is cooled, however, degree by
degree, # points unerrlngly by tho law
Of diminishing proportions, to point at
which its volume would be nothing. II
the Shriukage continued, since the pro-
portion OF loss OF volume never varies,
the gas would shrink to nothingnesS. 1t
could not do so, Of course. and all gases,
sooner or later, fail out of the line by
becoming liquid. when the law ceases 10
operate, and the proportion OF contrac-
ton in volume ceases to be the same.
As long a. they remain gases, however
and the law Is precisely the same In
all gaSes-they mechanically point their
figurative fingers I'm one direction, ana
all these Ggurative fingers indicate a
point which is i6l degrees below the zero
Of the Fahrenheit thermometer.
In a similar way this point is also in
dicated by all the pure metals. At or
binary temperatures the, power or the
