EEW people have any definite idea Of the
l. meaning Of absolute zero. When tenn
pcraturcs or degrees Of heat are mentioned,
il is natural for most people 90 think Of
these degrees as given on the household
or Fahrenheit scale, with its freezing point
at 81 degrees and its boiling point at PIP.
The space on the Fahrenheit thermometer
below the freezing point Of water is divided
into thirty-two equal spaces down % zero.
The other thermometer scale in common use
is the Ccntigradc scale, with its boiling point
at 100 degrees and is freezing point at zero.
The zero points on these two scales are not
the zero Of absolute temperature or absolute
zero; but are only two relative points.
Temperature. as used and spoken of in
ordinary practice is only relative, and i
measured in reference TO two points,
boiling and freezing points Of water at sea
lrvel.-but science and scientific iuycstiga-
ton requires another scale for its measure
mcnts, which has a theoretically correct zero
point. This scale is called the absolute
scale, with its zero point 203 degrees below
the zero Of the Ccntgradc scale and 1874
degrees below that Of the Fahrenheit zero.
This is what is meant by the zero Of absolute
temperature.
Absolute temperature has been defined.
According to science, all matter is composed
Of small particles or molecules in ceasclcss
vibration in the spaces between thcm This
molecular motion as it is called, is much
greater in gases than it IS in liquids or solids,
and the ultimate particles are farther apart.
The idea Of absolute zero and the place as
signed to it on the absolute scale is based on
this property of matter,-motion. In gas
cous forms Of matter the motion is greater
because Of the greater space between the
particles.
To oillustrate the meaning Of this point and
to explain how it was got, imagine a volume
of air of 273 cubic inches at the temperature
of freezing water on the Centigradc scale.
Heat this volume Of air 10 one degree Cent?
grade and its volume will have increased to
274 cubic inches, and if heated to two de-
grees its volume will be 275 cubic inches.
Likewise, if the original volume be cooled
one degree below the freezing point of water,
New-York tribune., 1912-02-11
WHAT ABSOLUTE ZERO is

its volume will be decreased by one cubic
inch and become PIP cubic inches For
every additional decrease Of one degree, the
volume will contract one two-hunircd-and-
scycntv-third par, Ot what II was 90 begin
with: So that, If the cooling Is carried far
enough. il Is easy % see that at 2,3 degrees
below the freezing p9in, Of water the volume
will become nothing. The volume II q gas
is due 20 the real volume Of its individual
particles. together with the volume Of the
spaces between these particles. At ordinary
temperatures these particles are IN swift
motion; but for every degree ot cooling this
motion is Slackcned, and the paths Of yibra-
ti0u become shorter Thi, motion continues
down 10 273 degrees below the Ccu,igraie
zero, where the motion has entirely ceased
and the paths Of the particle, are infinitely
short. OF course, the gas under considcra-
ton at -273 degrees will have d volume due
to the sum Of the volume occupied by the
molecular particles themselves.
This 213 degrees then is the absolute zero
Il is the point Of molecular dcath,--nO heat
is there, no energy, and consequently no
motion. Matter at this point is entirely
motionlcSs within itself.
The thermometer scales Of the world
should be based on it as the logical starting
point. The freezing point Of water, which is
zero on the Ccntigradc scale, referred to the
absolute scale is -273 degrees, while the
freezing point Of 32 on the Fahrenheit scale
is -f59.f degrees on it. The ordinary tenn
peraturc Of a room is about 6S degrees
Fahrenheit. or 527.4 degrees on the absolute
scale. On the same scale summer heat Is
about 5jS degrees Fahrenheit.
The zero Of absolute temperature has
nearly been reached in the preparation Of
solid hydrogen gas and liquid hclium. The
temperature Of liquid hclium zone Of the
rarcst Of gases is only about four degrees
above absolute zero; so that the individual
particles of liquid helium have almost be-
come motionlcsS. Probably in the near
of absolute zero, this gas,
which is the only one that has not been
solidihcd, will become solid and represent
matter in its state of molecular death.

London Messengers Called Upon 70
Perform All Sorts Of PeoU-

Awards Of special medals for e
markable tasks successfully per-
formed by district messenger boys
were made in London a few days ago
and revealed the fact hal messenger
boys do not always have such an
easy, slowgoing time as some may
have imagined. The New York
World says prizes we're presented to
about 200 boys, many of whom had
fulfilled very difficult missions.
Messenger Alfred Beaie, for in
stance, won a prize because he was
sent from London to Paris to deliver
a large box, then to Rome with a
dress suit for a high official of the
italian court, and then to Belgium,
where he had to meet the grand duke
of MeckIenburg at Liego station
with a luncheon basket,
Another boy, Messenger Robbins,
brought an elephant and its Indian
keeper from Buxton to the PalIa-
dunn and back, and rode on the ami
mails back on the return journey. A
third boy was sent for in hot haste
to a house in Bond street, where he
found a terrified lady standing on a
table. She refused to descend until
the lad had captured the mouse
which had frightened her.
