nary conclusion TO which the theory
points, but il is known that gases
change their rate of contraction
and their physical state when the
temperature gets very low, so that
the state Of things at the absolute
zero point may not be exactly such
as has been imagined.
That point itself has never vet
been attained in any experiment,
but it has been approached within
three degrees, or less, by means Of
the processes employed In liquefvins
and sOlidifying gases. Liquid air is
still SO degrees above absolute zero,

boiling point only five degrees above
absolute zero, and has been cooled
to an estimated temperature Of only
two degrees, without yet showing

Absolute zero is a mathematical
point which lies just behind the
edge OF the scientific horizon and
which has never been reached by
man. although it's existence and 10
cation are known, like those of the
sunken sun, by sensible convergent
lines, of which il must evidently be
the focus. Ii is the point at which
all temperature vanishes and where.
consequently, there is no such thing
as heat
The zero of our ordinary ther-
mometers is not real zero. but a
conventional one. II is a cOnven-
lent stopping point on a ladder,
whose rungs, or degrees, continue

that we call those above plus and
those below minus. on the Fahren-
heit thermometer, the one usually
employed in the affairs of daily life

ing mixture of ice and salt, which
is 80 degrees (Fahrenheit) below
the temperature of melting ice. On
the Centigrade thermometer, en-
ployed for most scientific purposes.
zero corr esponds with the tempera-
ture of melting ice.
Absolute zero is not, like these
other zeroes, an arbirtrialy chosen
point on the scale OF temperature,
above which every degree is called
plus. while below all are called
minus. without any corresponding
difference in their nature or quail
~. but il is the absolute bottom OF
the scale. so that in the absolute
measurement Of temperature there
is no minus. but every degree Is
plus. This is often called the Kel-
vim system Of temperature measure
ment. because Lord Kelvin first pro-
posed its use. IL is based upon the
fact that a gas changes its vol
ume by l,213-d part of its amount
for every change Of one degree
Centigrade in its temperature.
If. then. the temperature should
fall 10 27S degrees below zero Cen
