THERMOMETER INVENTED
BY FAHRENHEIT IN 1920.

Before the seventeenth century men
could only judge of the amount of heat
prevailing at any place by their per-
sonal sensations, and could only speak
of the weather in an indefinite way as
hot or very hot, cold or very cold. In
that century several attempts were
made by scientific experimenters by
means of tubes containing oil. spirits
of wine and other substances to estab-
lish a satisfactory means of measuring
heat, but none of them proved success
full. Even Sir Isaac Newton. wlTo APP
piled his great mind to this work, and
also the noted astronomer, HALEY,
failed in their attempts to produce a
heat measure.
1t was reserved to Gabriel Fahren-
heit. an obscure and poor man, a ma
tive of Dantzig, to give to the world
the instrument which has proved to be
so serviceable to mankind. He had
failed in business as a merchant. and,
having a taste for mechanics and
chemistry, began a series of expert
ments for the production of thermom-
eters. AT first he made these instru-
IlRIlS VIII diCOIlOl. Jul SOOl DCNdillG
convinced that the semi-solid mercury
was a more suitable article to use in
the glass tube.
Fahrenheit had removed from Dant-
zig to Amsterdam. and there, about the
year 1920, he made the mercury Their
mometer, which has ever since been
fashioned much like the original.
The basis of his plan was to mark
on the tube two points, respectively,
at which water is CONCEALED and
boiled and to graduate the space be-
tween. He began with an arbitrary
marking. beginning with 80 degrees,
because he found that the mercury de-
scended 80 degrees more before coming
to what he thought the extreme cold
resulting from a mixture of ice, water
and sal ammoniac. In 1924 he pub
lished a dictinct treatise on the sub
iect of his experiments and the con-
illusions that had resulted therefrom.
Celsius. of Stockholm, soon after sug-
gested the more rational graduation
of 100 degrees between freezing and
boiling point. This was the c~entigrade
thermometer. Reaunlur proposed an
other graduation, which has been ac-
cepted by the French, but by far the
largest part of the civilized world Fab
renheit's scale has been accepted and
used, with 81 degrees as freezing, so
degrees as temperate. sc degrees as
blood heat and 212 degrees as boiling
point.
1t is true that the zero of Fahren-
heit's scale is a solecism, since it does
not mark the extreme to which heat
can be distracted. This little blemisf,
however. does not seem to nave been
of any practical consequence.-Wash-

TRADES COUNCIL
INSTRUCTED IN
PRIMARY LAWS
Told to Flip Coins to Get Ger
tain Party Tickets on
Ballots.

The aims and objects of the new
primary law, which goes into effect this
fall. have been explained in detail to
Council by former Corporation Counsel
George L. Record, of Jersey City.
He proposed last night a plan for pro-
curing legislation in the interest of or
ganized labor. Among the more i'm
portant suggestions were laws provid-
ing for the initiative and referendum, a
public utility commission, The adoption
of the Massachusetts ballot, employers
liability, anti-child labor and the Sc
lection of all party candidates at
primaries, without intervention Of dele
gates or conventions.
Covers Only Two Parties.
In answer to a question as to what
the Socialist or Prohibition adherents
were going to do about their candidates,
Mr.. Record replied that the new law
did not make any provision for any
party but the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties.
He said that the Socialist or Prohibi-
ton voters could easily overcome this
ny LlpplnB d. penny, anu IL II Cdnle
down head up they could place their
candidates on the Republican ticket,
and If tails, on the Democratic ticket.
He incidentally referred to the new
Hearst party as one which would not
amount to much inside of ten years, if
then.
He said that all such parties he knew
by experience were only bubbles, which
burst when they expanded over a GER
tain degree.
The Rev. DIR. e. A. WATSON and Joseph
r. Buchanan are to be two of the
principal speakers at a mass-meetina
to be held Friday. April "a, under the
auspices of the Council.
Leo Ottolengui, manager of VALID
mann's Theatre, will be asked at the
next meeting of the Council to explain
why an embargo should not be placed
on his theatre. The Council went on
record as giving it's moral support to
the Carpenters Union in it's fight
against a reduction in wages.
