How Thermometers Were Invented

oxide gas was used as a means OF secur-
ing lower cold. Startling results were
soon obtained. Marsh gas was made
liquid, then solid: then nitrogen, later
oxygen, and soon the world was aston
ished to hear of liquid air and then solid
air.
But greater conquests OF nature fol-
lowed. Solid hydrogen, and. TO cap the
climax. solid helium, only a few degrees
above that most wonderful point abso-
Lutte zero.
Let this experiment be made: Take gas
at the centigrade zero, that is. the cold
OF ice. Measure its exact volume, say
one cubic inch or one cubic foot. or liter
Heat it 10 a temperature of 273 degrees
and fits volume will be doubled Then
for one degree of rise of temperature tho
volume increased one two-hundred seven
ty-third
But cool the gas down to 273 degrees
below zero; then a most astonishing re-
suit will follow; the gas must be without
volume, or absolutely solid; that is. no
atom can move. But no volume would be
annihilation OF the gas; but man cannot
annihilate even one atom of any kind OF
matter
Then the gas must finally reach a
state where il is absolutely solid But
none now can predict whether man will
ever be able to bridge the few degrees
between the appalling death-deallng cold
OF solid heIium and the absolute zero.
This gap is the one most mysterious
problem and fascination now confronting
man. What. indeed, will be the state OF
matter when no motion OF atoms can
occur between its rigid mass?

back to my childhood days, when we

remembered how there was always
