| 6S-Weather Editor. Herald: My an
/ swer TO your query is as follows: Con-
sidered on Far. thermometer, % degrees
| is when cold begins; to acquire twice
/ colder temperature than degrees the
! thermometer must record 80 degrees cold
! ct, or 3 degrees. Respectfully, Earl Sni-
/ der, $40 First street.
| 6g-Weather Editor, Salt Lake Herald:
| In order to ascertain how cold twice as
/ cold as degrees above zero is, we must
/ first find a starting point for cold. Nat
1 orally We would take the freezing point
/ as the commencement OF cold, therefore,
/ ? degrees above zero VIII give US 80 de-
/ grees of cold, and twice as cold as that
/ would give us 90 degrees of cold, or say
/ 30 degrees below, , degrees above zero,
/ which would be IS degrees below zero.
! Therefore, IS degrees below zero is my
J answer to the problem Respectfully,
