THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, JULY 29ND, 1911.
Until comparatively recently most works of reference on historical essays in Natural Philosophy adopted without reservation the tatamont that the thermometer was invented in 1610 by a Dutch investor, Cornelius Drobboi, and some were precise na to the day of the month, viz., May 30. Drebbel was an alien alchemist, well known at the Court of James I., und whose fame in this country, anya

und
claimed it. All Drobbel did was to describe a simple oxperiment to show the expansion of air by heat and its contraction by sold phenomena noted by Horo of Alexandria 1,750 years before. The blunder which ascribe to him the invention of the thermometer originated as follows. In 1624 x book, called Recreation Mathematique,” and written by a Jesuil father, named Louroshon, was pabided in Francy. The author donoribos aud
Bigares 111 instamment for measuring degrees of heat and cold that are in the air," and uses the word thermometer for the first time.
This work had trmegh countless aditi rugie, w c
editions, In a rare issu E 1051 the adjective Drebbelianum" some- how got udded to the word "Instra menta"; and Dutch and French araute
the errot, caught up
reiterated with such dogunatism that it received the false stamp of authority. Lourochon's descrip tion of the thermomstor is the earliest that gives a clear notion of those in uso at the beginning of the seventeenth century:"It is an instrument of glass, which has a little bulb abevo, and a long neck below; and it suds beneath in another balb into which water or any other liquid may be poured. It is used the Pit into the ball, be- somno coloured liquid, like vinegar, low. wine, or aqua fortis. Having doun this, as the air enclosed in iho bulb baconios zavolied or condensed the water will plainly ascend or descend-in-the-tubs. This you can test by carry. ing the instrument from a very hot place to a very cold one, or by placing your hand on the apper balb, or by warming it with your breath. Those who wish to determine these changes by numbers and degress draw a line all along the tube, and divide it into eight degress, according to the philosophers; ar into four degrass, according to the physicians; sub-dividing caoli of the eight spacos into eight others."
The credit for the Invontion of the above primitiveform'thermometer really belongs to the Italian philosopher Galileo Galilei, between the Fears 1592 and 1597, notwithstanding that he made no claim to having devised the instrument, and that his extant writings contain only a casual allusion to it. Galileo's instrument was rally an inverted air thermoscope, containing either water or wine, and provided with an arbitrary scale of dogross. It was, of course, subject to change in atmospheric pressure, 110 two of them were comparable. Fifty years elapsed before this erudo toy was developed into the sealed thermamotor upon the expansion of liquids, and

century loped. Carious to relate, Galileo's claim to be the actual inventer is uiost ferocly con tosted by certain of his own contemporary countrymen. Then latter assert that Galileo used an instrument made by an English mystic, Robert Find, who visited Padua iu 1605, and who aubsequently practised in London as a medico-faithhester.
By the middle of the seventeenth century the sealed or Florentins thermometer, made by skilled workmen, was famous throughout Europe. It first reached England in 1663, being conveyed by the French traveller Monoomys to tho Hon, Robert Boyle, who, together with Robert, Boeke, immediately set to work to a standard scale, in order to suttle such a measure of midness as wo airenly had of time, listance, and weight. In 1664 Enoke took the Freezing point of water as
point iu scale; and at about the aume period many scientists began to experiment with quicksilver as a more suitable diluting, liquid than any other mubstanco which is. liquid at ordinary mospheric temperatures. Moreover, it was realised that meronry had the advantages of being opaque, and of not wetting the surface of the glass with which it was in ocotest.
fized
Nevertheless, the real fact seems to bo that Fahrenheit in 1714 was incontestably the first to construct mercury thermomoters, together with reliable scale. The principle on which Fahrenheit barod his solois as follows: When the instrument stood at the cold of Iceland at O der.. it was computed to contain 11,124 parts of quicksilvar, which, when plunged in melting snow, expanded to 11,156 parts, hence, 37deg. was taken as the freezing point of water. When water the thermometer was plunged into boiling

He was followed by a host of imitators, oach of whom devised a seala of his own, and more possessed any special adraxisge Ther mometers were first manufactured in England in 1727 by John Fowler, of Swithin's Alley, near the Royal Exchange.
It is remarkable that no notion makes popa lar use of the thermometer designed by its own nitizen. The instrument constructed by the Germin Fahrenheit in the Netherlands is ured almost exclusively in English-speak ing countries; that invented by tho Frenchman Beamur in 1730 Ends no credit in France, but is popular in Germany; and that of Colius, the Swede, which was reversed by Christin of Lyons in 1743, thereby establishing the Centigrade reale, in used chiefly in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. Again, no one of the thermometers now in uso has exactly the scale originally devised by the person whose name is uitaobhed to it,
