ORIGIN OF THE THERMOMETER.
Fahrenheit Said to Have Copied From
Sir Isaac Newton.

According TO Sir Samuel Wilkes,
Fahrenheit constructed his thermome

by Sir Isaac Newton. In the transac
tons of the Royal society for 1901
Will be found the paper written by Sii
Isaac Newton, who was at hat time
secretary to the society" says Sill
Samuel. He invented an instrumen,
Tor measuring the degree of heat ir
fluids by taking a tube and filling il
with linseed oil. On his he market
the freezing point as zero by puttinc
the tube in ice, and in the same wa,
ne marked the point when placed in
boiling water. The very awkward
scale which we now use is evidently
that OF Newton. for the decimal sys
TEN not being then in use, he took the
number IL to denote the heat of the
body; this he found, and made it the
starting point of his scale both up.
ward and down ward.
II was some time after this that
Tor convenience's sake, the degree
were divided into two, and thus IT,
body heat a "a above zero and boz,
ing point SO. When. many a aftei
ward. Fahrenheit made his instru
meht and used mercury instead q
linseed oil, he again divided these de
grGes into four, so If the number b,
multiplied accordingly we have 2l'
Tor the boiling point and 30 for tn,
body heat.
Fahrenheit. finding he could get .
lower temperature than freezing, mad
thls point zero, which brought thu
number s of Newton's [ o go OF F'ahren
heit. In this way the thermometc,
was constructed; awkward as til
scale is, yet il is historically interest
ing as having been made by our owl
