And they did so, evolâ€" ving the Centigrade scale in which zero is the freezing point of water and 100 degrees the boiling point. Later they began to want more exact quotations of temperature, so they multiplied the body temperature point by eight, making it 96. In any case, he did mark his therâ€" mCometer zero at the lowest temperâ€" ature he could get by that method and he marked it with the figure 12 where the mereury went when the therâ€" mometer was held close to the body. This seemed to satisfy Sir Isaac and for some time the Fahrenheit scale was used in that fashion. story is told that Mr. Fahrenâ€" heit decided to fix his "zero‘" at the coldest then obtainable, which was by the "freezing mixture‘" of salt and ice similar to that ussd for the homeâ€"makâ€" ing of ice cream. Had he lived in Timmins, he might well have chosen a lower point. { Sir Isaac proposed that a scale should be set up having as its "zero‘ the freezing point of water and the twelfth "degree" as the tempsrature of the human ‘body. Mr. Fahrenheit pointed out that water does not always freeze at the same temperature. (This has since been proven to be quite true. Water may be lowered to a few degrees below the "freezing point" without freezing. But as soon as it does freeze the water immediately under the ics formed gcss up to the point.") Two gentlemen of science had the same idea early in the 1700‘s. Sir Isaac NewtOon and Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit both realized that the world of science should have ~some way of telling just how cold the other fellow meant when he said "Cold!" Until about 1700 you would have said : "It‘s cold," or "It‘s very cold," or scmething like that. You would have had no way of telling how cold "very cold" was in the Arctic circles or in the equatorial regions. "How cold is it?" "Oh, about ten below zero."

He says that in all the 44 years he has had it, it has never once lost itself, nor has he ever had to chase it out from beneath the bed or the dresser! Not even once? Once is not cften, Mr. Small, and 44 years is a long time for a collar button to beâ€" have. At that Small is a Scottish name! It is interesting to nots the variet? of things for which a man will get his name in the papers. Anythng from murder down or up seems to do it. For instance there is John Small, J.P. former tax collector at North Bay, who is given newspaper prominence these days because he has worn the same little old collar button for 44 years. Just how the nswspapers got onto the record will remain a mystery of the craft. When interviewed in the matter Mr. Small said that his record cenâ€" tainly eclipsed that of the English gen-l tleman who was posing as a ccllar but-} ton champicn because he had kept his only ccllar button for 35 years. The English champion says he paid only five cents (probably he meant "tupâ€" pence ha‘â€"penny‘") for the collar button that lasted 35 years. The North Bay man gets a laugh out of that. "Why, I got my csllar button 44 years ago free with a shirt I bought," he says.
