Cold if silrnply the absence of heat, but though a iiegitjive cause, it prjodures when ex treme, posit i vie effect's, very 4imilar-to its op- posite. . i 1 The Thermometer, which measures degrees of heat, aldo indicates those of cold. The one -iii common. use Imthe freezing point of water at bec&usf thc inventor tormed his zero, or what he supposed the greatest degree of cold lhat could be produced, by mixing common salt '. and snow, and from that to the point at which water is frozen is 32. It is found however, that cold can he produced by artificial means, HG lower than the zero of Fahrenheit's scale. How . much lower - than that it can be car ried, we cannot fell. Many of the phenomena of cold are both' curious and Interesting. The mechanical power Ol freezing water is very great, and probably one cubic inch would ex ert a forco of many tons weight. As great as 1 when 'converted into steam, if not greater; on a cfubic inch of water will make a cubic (oof of steam. ! . This power of water in freezing is owing to jhc fact that when it crystalizes, l be filaments cro!i one another always at an angle of CO and l'JO3 ; this, i lis law, and tbb it must obey at all hazards; and it it has not room, it will 'make room, even if it is inclosed 'in a' TEETH!
