44-Weather Editor, Herald:
Dear Sir:-The answer to your ques-
ton, How cold must it. be to be twice
as cold at 2 degrees above zero?'' is 1901
degrees below zero f. The reasons fol-
low:
All of the worlds leading physicists
agree in assuming that a body grows
warm when we impart to its molecules
a greater degree of motion. and grows
cold when we cause the molecules TO
slacken their speed. Now a necessary
deduction from this hypothesis is that
body may lose molecular motion until
it possesses none. When this condition
exists it can get no colder and has
reached absolute zero, or a point by uni
versaI agreement assumed to be 27S de-
grees below zero. Centigrade or 1914 de-
grees expressed in Fahrenheit units.
And now we come to the direct reason
ing upon your question which, 1t is clear,
may be reStated thus: How warm must
it be to be twice as warm as 1901 degrees
below zero? Beginning at absolute zero
the point at which a body has no motion
and can get no colder. we advance up the
scale to 1907 degrees End by doubling this
distance we reach 461.4 degrees above abb
scIute zero, or 30 Fahrenheit degrees be-
low Centigrade zero, which corresponds
to 2 degrees above ordinary zero z.
Hence to be twice as cold as degrees
above zero we must have o temperature
Of 29O.7 degrees below zero. Respectfully,
A 0. CLARK.

Dear Sir-For every centigrade degree
a gas at zero will expand 1-273 of its vol
ume. gas VIII accordingly double its
volume at 273 degrees G. Conversely, the
amount of contraction when the gas is
F., would therefore equal the volume of
the gas at zero. The volume would there
fore be reduced to a geometrical point.
This OF necessity must be the absolute
zero Of temperature. A point half way
between the absolute zero of temperature
(460 F., and 2 degrees F. above zero,
would 229 degrees f. below zero. A body
having this temperature would be one
half as warm as one at degrees above
zero. It therefore would be, in popular
phrase, twice as cold

reasoning is as follows: 2 degrees above

Then twice as cold as 2 degrees above

Dear Sir:-"Cold" is a negative term
and has little meaning as used in the

" means What would the temperature

that the zero on the Fahrenheit, is fixed
with regard to the freezing point of
water, is used as a convenient reference
mark and has no real significance. In
order to determine one-half the warmth
of the atmosphere at 2 degrees above
zero we must take one-half its tempera-
ture referred to theZabsOlute zero thus:
1874 degrees X degrees, equal 1907 de-

3S.-Question-How cold must it be to
be twice as cold as degrees above zero9
Answer-We take the statement that a
body Is twice as cold as another to
mean that it contains half the absolute
quantity Of heat contained IN the other
As we DO not know the absolute guam
tity of heat contained in any body what
ever, we cannot give a direct and truth
full answer. We can, however give
theoretically correct reply based on the
theory mot necessarily fact), that there
is an absolute zero Of temperature, that
is, a point at which a body's total heat
is zero. This point is -z73 degrees CEN
tigrade % degrees absolute scale). and is
the temperature at which theoretical con-
SideTations lead us to believe that all the
physical activities Of matter are in abey-
ance. With this assumption we can an
swer the question as soon as we know
which zero is referred to. If absolute
zero is meant, then the answer is l de-
gree absolute. If Centigrade zero, the
answer is u, -273X2 degrees, equal 300
degrees, c.; If. ReaumUr zero, the answer
IS y, -218.4x2 degrees, equal -1OS.2 degrees
r.; If Fahrenheit zero, the answer Is g,
.4x2 degrees, equal PEST degrees f.
Such a calculation involves the further
assumption that a degree at any one
part Of the thermometer scale is exactly
equivalent to a degree at any other part.
This, however, is very nearly true Fin
ally, this being a weather question, all
ccnsideratiO of the quantities Of matter
compared (and therefore the absolute
quantities of heat in them) are elimi-
mated. Reply sent in by
