TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ.

TN number of important labora-
l. tories, both in this country and
abroad, scientists are hard at work,
striving for a goal which they are
certain can never be reached. That
goal is the absolute zero in tenn
perature.
It is 2731 degrees below zero upon
the centigrade scale, the one in
common use in scientific labora-
tories. Upon the familiar Fahren-
heit scale it is 459 degrees below
zero.
Scientists already have approached
to within less than one degree of
absolute zero. In fact they have
Travelled the 273 degrees upon the
centigrade scale, leaving only the
i of degree. They hope some day
to get lower than this but there are
theoretical reasons why absolute
zero can not be reached.
To understand why, we must I'M
derstand the nature of heat. Heat
is the unordered motion of the
molecules and atoms constituting a
body. The greater their random
motions, the greater the heat. That
is why when you heat a piece of
iron, for example, it turns first into
liquid and then into gas.
r LIQUID air can, be prepared by
IL COMPRISING air and then
permitting it to expand. The
expansion cools the air and the
is so designed as to
take advantage of this cooling until
finally portion of the air reaches
SO low a temperature that it
liquefes.
The temperature of liquid air is
about 1872 degrees below zero, CEN
tigrade.
BY using liquid air to cool COM
pressed hydrogen, a similar scheme
can be worked and liquid hydrogen
obtained. This has a temperature
of 253 degrees below zero, cent?
grade.

TOO MUCH IS ENOUGH

The almost unanimous criticism which has greet.
ed the appointment a ''palpably political" basis,
as The Asheyie Times terms it, Of the two APP
pointiye members Of the State Unemployment Com
penSation commission might suggest to governors
present and future that the generality of North
Carolinians think that there should be some limits
to the spos system and particularly the faetional
spoils system which prevails in North Carolina.
The News and Observer believes in party gov
eminent, and it believes further that party gov
eminent is most effective when the party in power
is able to staff all important positions with men
devoted to the party's policies. More questionable
is faetional spoils system WITHIN party even in
one party state. And still more questionable IS
the extension of the spois system to positions
which in their very nature should be divorced from
politics. es -
The reaction Of the Democratic press of the
state indicates that it regards as such positions
places on the Unemployment Compensation COM
mission. But that commission Is irrevocably APP
pointed and she state can only hope, that COM
mission, the appointment of which was 'papably
political" will function with efficiency and states
manShip More important in connection with these
appointments, The Charlotte News suggests that
politics is also brewing about the appointment of
the new judgeships the state supreme court
bench which the people authorized at the last gen.
eral election.
Many people had hoped that the old custom Of
rewaYding political managers with seats on the
states highest bench had lapsed. Certainly IL Is
time that it should lapse. Politicians may make
good judges but making patronage OF the Judiciary
and politics Of the states highest bench has never
been regarded as the straightest road to the high
est and safest system Of Justice Certainly when
the people voted to increase the size Of the su-
creme court. they urged to do so in order to
improve the quality of justice in North Carolina,
not to add to the number of jobs fer politicians
1t ought to be possible for the people Of North
Carolina to embark on enterprise 10 social Sc
curty to undertake the more adequate stating OF
their courts, to expand or adxasseia terms Of the
general welfare without seing every act in expan-
sion and advance turned into patronage. There are
plenty of jobs for the faithful but some positions
should be reserved and filled solely for the service
Of the people.-Raleigh News and Observer.
