Although familiar To scientists. IL is
not generally KNOWN that the true
zero Of heat has been determined. by
this absolute zero is meant Il temper

which means that no heat whatever
exists or can exist at that point. This
point is Only about 40 degrees below
the zero oT our ordinary Fahrenheit
thermometers or 213 degrees below the
zero cpu;igrade. To realize what ii
signifies Il few words must he placed
here defining heat itself
Heat j. cauNed simply by the thou
sands of little molecules in any body
or thing vibrating very fast and thus
sending out waves into the ether
When these waves strike any matter
they cause that matter Ia heroine bot.

molecules vibrate the more neat is
given out and the hotter is the body
itself. The slower the molecules TIE

be no heat. and therefore the body
would be absolutely cold. This con
Gition of affairs is reached ut the
above mentioned number of degrees

less To say. however. that this uhSo-
lutte zero Of heat has never been al

From this theory Of heat Il peculiar

To do This IL must toe composed or

is that liquids aud gases have been
