up in the senate today with debate in
which the democrats uniformly spoke
for it's passage and the republicans at
tackled the tariff as having made 1t
necessary.

division so that there were only So de- |
grees between the lower, or zero. point
and the top of the scale Then he
adopted for the upper point the tempera-
ture OF boiling water and found that
this, by using the same system of d.
vision, fell at 2l2 degrees above zero,
while the freezing point of the water was
At 80 degrees. Thus the selection of
these inconvenient numbers to mark two
of the most important points on the
Fahrenheit scale was, virtually. mere
accident. arising from the application Of
a scale OF division before those points
had been determined
There is some confusion among the
historians in regard to the way in which
Fahrenheit arrived at his division of the
scale. According to some, Sir Isaac
Newton was, in a sense responsible for
Fahrenheit's choice, because Newton had
invented a linseed oil thermometer whose
scale he divided into twelve equal parts,
between the freezing point and the nat
ural temperature OF the human body.
Fahrenheit IT Is said, adopted Newton's
divisions, except that he halved their
length on the scale, making "A degrees
from freezing to blood heat Then, when
he had found his imaginary lowest posi-
BILE temperature by mixing salt and snow
water. ana had taken that for his zero,
he counted degrees up 10 the freezing
point. "A degrees to blood heat and SO de-
grees to the boiling point Later he di-
vided his degrees into four parts each.
thus making the temperature of freezing
% above zero and the boiling point 2I2
above. =
Many other thermometric scales have
been invented and several are in limited
use, but the best OF them all il the Cen
tigrade. which is based upon the division
OF the interval between the freezing and
boiling points % water into 100 degrees
and the selection OF the freezing point as
the zero OF the scale. The originator OF
this system is usually said TO have been
Andreas Celsius OF Upsala, although the
lOo-degree division had been used before
he adopted II. In the scientific construc-
ton OF thermometers great pains are
taken, not only In the selection of the
glass for the tubes. and the exact forma-
! ton OF the bore in which the mercury
moves. but also in determining the atmo

boiling point is marked, for water does

the point rising with increase OF atno-
spheric pressure and falling with de-
creased pressure. This is the reason why
water boils at much lower tempera-
ture on the summit Of lofty mountain
than in the valleys below. Prof. TyndalI
found that water boiled al the top OF
