THE THERMOMETER 



In the United States and Canada 

 as well as in England Fahrenheit's 

 thermometer is generally used ac- 

 cording to which water freezes at 32° 

 and boils at 212° at ordinary air 

 pressure, leaving 180 degrees between 

 the freezing and the boiling point. 

 In some countries in Europe Reau- 

 mur's thermometer is used with 0° for 

 the freezing point and 80° for boiling. In France and 

 for scientific work in all countries, however, the Celcius 

 or Centigrade system is employed for measuring heat
