Like many other metals, however, the colder it gets the less resistance it offers to electricity. And at 269 or 270 degâ€"ees below zero on the centiâ€" grade scale, its resistance drops to rearly nothing and it becomes an alâ€" most perfect conductor. It was the degree of resistance offered Lby lead to electricity that enabled Professor Goetz to determine the exact temperâ€" ature irside his "ice cream" freezer. That temperature was six or eight times colder than the lowest temper-‘ atures ever encountered by polar exâ€" plorers. | Since Goetz created an atmosphere of 270 degrees below zero centigrade, which lacked only 3.2 degrees of being as cold as cold can be, people are asking what kin& of a thermometer he employed. Mercury woul« not do; it freezes as minus 39 degrees. Proâ€" fessor Goetz used a lead coil connectâ€" ed with an electric current. At ordiâ€" nary temperatures, lead is a very poor conductor of electricity. ‘ If we knew water only in the form of cxygen and hydrogen we would never realize that liquid water can be used to float boats on or to keep lawns green,. And if we had never seen frozen water, who woull understand its marvelous properties?

The wonder of his work does met Jlie in the liquid kelium; it has been iquified by five other physicists, His imbition, writes Ransome Sutton in The Los Angelesl Times, was to find an inexpensivel method of producing temperatures wherein practically all gases can either be liquified or frozen solid and studied in their various states. | P.
