What ia the reason for the difference in the numbering of the Fahrenheit and the centigrade thermometers?
 The difference is in principle that between circular measure and the neat simplicity Of the decimal system When Fahrenheit had. found that his thermometer was capable of giving him q means of measuring heat the necessity for a scale presented itself. He was able to establish two constants of tempera tIIre-=tLat at which mix ture of salt and snow mets at one end of the scale that at which waiter boils at sea level establishes the other Xvi dentIy with some reference to the fact that in circular measure the ma Kim u m distance possible to measure from one point to another is lSO degrees, tlesscaled 1S0 equal parts between tbeSe two linn its. He scaled thet below his freezing point!to it's reading on a winter day colder. than the oldest in habitant could remember to have ex, perienced, and here tie esta blished his zero. It chanced to be 32 degrees be- low his freezing point. The ycentigrade on the other hand establishes it's zero at freezing point and 100 degrees. at the boiling point. These constants are selected beea use they may be so con veniently reproduced at any time and therefore obviate the necessity of maintaining an officially sealed stand ard as must be the case with meas ures of length and capacity
