| "Yet before I undertake a review of these experiments it will be necessary to say
a |
| few words about the thermometers that I have built, and the division of the scale |
| they use, and in addition the method of producing a vacuum I have used. I make |
| two particular types of thermometer, one of which is filled with alcohol and the
other |
| with mercury. Their length varies in accordance with the use to which they are
put. |
| Yet all use the same scale, and their differences relate only to their fixed limits.
The |
| scale of those thermometers that are used only for observations on the weather |
| begins with zero and ends on the 96th degree. The division of the scale depends on |
| three fixed points, which can be determined in the following manner. The first is |
| found in the uncalibrated part or beginning of the scale, and is determined by a |
| mixture of ice, water, and ammonium chloride or even sea salt. If the thermometer is |
| placed in this mixture, its' liquid descends as far as the degree that is marked with a |
| zero. This experiment succeeds better in winter than in summer. The second point is |
| obtained if water and ice are mixed without the aforementioned salts. When the |
| thermometer is placed in this mixture, its' liquid reaches the 32nd degree. I call
this |
| "freezing point". For still waters are already covered with a very thin layer of
ice |
| when the liquid of the thermometer touches this point in winter. The third point is |
| situated on the 96th degree. Alcohol expands up to this point when it is held in the |
| mouth or under the armpit of a living man in good health until it has completely |
| acquired his body heat. But if the temperature of a man suffering from fever or some |
| other heating disease is to be investigated, another thermometer must be used, with |
| a scale extended to the 128th or 132nd degree. I have not yet discovered by |
| experiment whether these degrees are sufficient for the most intense heat of some |
| fever, but it is scarcely credible that the heat of any fever should exceed the
degrees |
| I have described. When a thermometer is being used to investigate the temperature |
| of boiling liquids, it too starts from zero and contains 600 degrees, for around this |
| point mercury itself (with which the thermometer is filled) begins to boil." |
