APPROACH ABSOLUTE ZERO
IN GOVERNMENT TESTS
Frozen Hydrogen and the Same
Element Liquefied Produced
in the Bureau Of Standards.

A small quantity Of frozen hydrogen
and about two quarts Of The same Gle
ment llquefed were produced at the
bureau Of standards. In a successful
test of llquefyng apparatus conduct
ed by G. w. Kanolt.
This represented the result after
chilling many thousand cubic feet or
the gas down TO point close to abso-
lutte zero.
Several experiments were made with
the hydrogen ice and liquid later be-
fore the Washington Philosophical so
ciety, a scientific organization, where
Mr. KanOlt exhibited the product.
The frozen hydrogen was described
as similar in appearance to snow,
while the liquid was cOlorless.
Doctor Kanolt told his hearers that
gallon of liquefed hydrogen was
made in about two hours at the bu-
reau Of standards. The experiments
there are on a larger scale than has
ever been employed before.
In his talk he said:
Inc InElIlOu - IdlufI EihlI'' -
principle but involves practical diff
culties which have interfered with its
extensive use. The purpose of the
bureau Of standards has been first to
secure liquid hydrogen when desired
in very large quantities
"The work at the bureau has been
facilitated by the development Of a
method Of analysis by which very
small quantities Of impurities can be
measured After liquid has been OBJ
tanned, it is comparatively easy to
freeze it by evaporatlng under re-
duced pressure. The freezing point of
the liquid is minus 259 degrees Cent?
grade, which is il degrees above abb
soute zero"
In order to liqufy the gas, tenn
perature of 253 degrees Centigrade-
about APO degrees Observation-Disclosures
zero had to be attained. The hydro
gen ice began to form a few degrees
lower, at about 43O Fahrenheit below
zero.
All the low temperatures were pro-
duced by expanding the gas itself
after it had been compressed under
pressure Of 1900 pounds a square
inch chilled by application Of liquid
air and then allowed to expand.
Production of the liquid gases will
be continued as a part of 1he bureaus
experimental work in studying be-
haylor of materials and metals at very
low temperatures.
hydrogen has been liquefied before
IN the United States, but temperatures
lower than those induced in the proc
eas have only been reached hitherto
in Europe, where helium has been
successfully liquehed
Absolute zero, represented by 2731
degrees on the Centigrade scale and
by 1896 degrees on the Fahrenheit,
has thus been very nearly approached,
according to the above dispatch. Alb
solute zero represents the temperature
where there is an entire absence Of
heat and has never been attained by
man.

81 GOLF BALLS IN A NEST
Squirrel Which Gathered Them Must
Have Imagined Them Nuts.

Squirrel Which Gathered Them Must
Have Imagined Them Nuts.
On the ground of the Augusta Coun-
try club at Manchester, Me, recently
was found a squirrels nest. In his
nest a squirrel had concealed 81 golf
balls. The place near the nest is one
of the most difficult drives of the
course and sometimes the golf balls
are Knocked into the woods and are
lost. The nest was found by rare
chance.
Evidently during the summer
months the squirrel thought a new
crop of nuts was invented and watched
the balls speed through the air into
the woods. After things had quoted
down he began his work of collecting.
Many of the balls were in good condi-
tion, while some bore the teeth marks
of the hOarder. i.
