Science

The thermometer IS so important
and necessary for a variety OF uses
th7t # is strange It's inventor is I'M
known.
The use Of a water thermometer is
ascribed TO Calico. It Is known that
Cornelius Van Drebbel made an alco-
hol thermometer In 1920. This. in
1909. was divided into degrees by
Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit and has
borne his name ever since.
In 1743, Anders Celsius improved
the thermometer by making the melt
ing point OF ice his zero and the boil
ing point Of water 100. This is called
the Centegrade system and is used
everywhere, except in England and
the United States. Here the Faren-
heit system is used, except I'm scien-
tifc work
Without the thermometer science
could not have progressed as 1t has
and medicine would have remained
in very backward state. There also
are instruments that are variations
of the thermometer. For measuring
very small differences in tempera-
ture the electric thermopile is used,
while for high temperatures, such as
in furnaces, where the ordinary ther-
mometer would be destroyed, the pyro-
meter is employed

MORE SPACE
THAN SOLID
IN AN 4 TOM
Small Particles Are Made on
Same Principle as Solar
System,
BY DAVID DIETZ
Science Editor of The Times

(COpyr1ght by David DletZ)
c~7NE of the great discoveries Of
ID twentieth century science is
the way in which electrons are
combined into atoms.
For although atoms and electrons
are far too small to be seen with the
most powerful microscope, scientists
have a fairly clear idea of how the
eleetrons are arranged in the atom.
The picture" of the atom, ac-
copied by most scientists. is due
mainly to the work of DR. Ncils Bohr
of Copenhagen. and is usually re-
ferred to as the Bohr theory of the
atom
According to this theory, he
electrons are arranged in an atom in
much the same fashion that the sun
and planets are arranged in the solar
system.
Atom Has Center
Just as the sun is at the center of
the solar system, there is a nucleus
at the center of the atom.
This nucleus in the hydrogen atom
is composed of one positive electron.
In other atoms. the nucleus Is
more complicated. consisting of both
positive and negative electrons
There is no general agreement yet
as TO how the electrons composing
the nucleus are arranged, except that
they are packed very closely together
and that the positive electrons are
always greater in number than the
negative ones.
Then just as the planets revolve
around the sun, there are negative
electrons in the atom revolving around
the nucleus
There are always just enough mega
tive electrons to make the total mum
Der Of negative lelectrons in the whole
atom equal to the total number Of
positive electrons.
For example, the nucleus of an atom
of helium consists OF four positive
electrons and two negative electrons.
Therefore there are two negats va
electrons revolving around the nu-
cleus.
One Positive Eiectron
The hydrogen atom. the simplest
I'm existence, has a nucleus consist
ing of only one positive eleCtron.
Therefore, there is only one negative
electron revolving around the nucleus.
Probably the most amazing con
tention that the physicist makes about
the atom is that It is mainly empty
space.
We think OF our earth as a mighty
object The sun we know is still
greater. But If we stop and think a
moment We must realize that our
solar system is mainly empty space.
The planets are situated millions OF
miles from the sun.
Considering the solar system as a
whole, It consists OF a great ocean
Of space with few comparatively
small bodies floating about in II.
Dr. r. A. Millikan. the foremost
American authority on atomic struc-
ture. says that the amount of space
in an atom compared TO the amount
Of matter in It. is 10000 times as
great as the amount of space in the
solar system compared 10 the amount
OF matter in IT,

the hands in a certain position, you
will be able to do this test success

Dry for the picture Of the clock or
watch. Do not even draw sketch
of the face of the clock to aid you.
Directions Simply do what you are
told.
Problem /. Let us suppose il is S;18
o'clock, that Is eighteen minutes past
s. Picture to yourself, without the aid
of watch or clock where the large
hand would he and where the small
hand would be. Now suppose that the
hands traded places, that is, the large
hand takes the place of the small
hand and the small takes the place Of
the large hand What time would 1t
be?
Problem 2. Now let us suppose that
1t is 1909, that is nine minutes past
H. Determine where the hands would
be. Then let us suppose that the
hands again trade places, the large
hand taking the place Of the small
hand and the small hand taking the
place of the large hand. What time
would it be?
Problem 5. Next let us suppose that
II is 1886. that is thirty-six minutes
past 3. Locate the position of the
hands. If the hands were again to
trade places, the large hand taking the
place of the small hand and the small
hand taking the plce of the large hand.
What time would it then be?
Answers: 1. Is minutes to 4, or
3:42; 2. Four minutes to 2, or 1855; 3.
Is minutes past Z. or 1913
