Thermometers Grow Old.

Even thermometers become old, and
consequently inaccurate with age, mer-
curial instruments reading too high
and spirit instruments too low. In the
former case the bulb appears to-
shrink, thus forcing the quicksilver
too far up the stem. This gradual
shrinkage is supposed to be due to the.
fact that the external pressure on the
bulb may be considerably higher than
the internal pressure, the air as far
as possible having been removed be-
fore the glass is sealed.
On the other hand. the spirit Their
mometer Is sealed with the bulb COW
cred in a freezing mixture, in order
to, lock up in the glass as much air as
possible. The instrument thus starts
with the internal pressure which In
time appears to be reduced either BY
expansion of the glass under the in
ternal pressure or by leakage.
