To Reform Thermometer.

A sign of progress is a bill intro
duced by a Pacific coast representa-
tive to substitute the Centigrade for
the Fahrenheit thermometer in gov
eminent publications. When Gabriel
Daniel Fahrenheit nearly 200 years
ago devised the scale which bears his
name 80 degrees below the freezing
point was the lowest temperature he
knew, so he called it But his
graduation has been displaced in the
scientific world almost as completely
as his idea of the extreme of cold.
Scientists everywhere use the Cent?
grade scale, and the Fahrenheit is in
popular use in English-speaking
countries only.
The Centigrade thermometer is
graduated in a simple and rational
way, the freezing point being marked
zero and the boiling point 100. The
movement for reform of the thermom.
eter ought to go hand-in-hand with the
propaganda for universal adoption OF
the metric system of weights and
measures and for uniform decimal re
