This point is known as absolute zero, or "no heat" point. As absolute zero is approached, molecules and atoms lose more and more of their energy. At this point they would, theoretically, have little or none, ac- cording to Prof. W. F. Giauque who with yjther members of his department have developed the apparatus. Natural scientists have for years sought the absolut-> "no heat" point, it is explained. By means of the evap- oration of liquid helium it has been possible to get within 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit of absolute absence of heat. .J True joy is a serene and sober mo- tion: and they are miserably out that take laughing for rejoicing; the seat of it is within, and there is no cheer- fulness like the resolutions of a brave mind. â€" Seneca. he has written a number of booksâ€" i sentenced by the Parliament of Tou- for he so obviously enjoys the com-' pany of authors, and artists, judging from the stories about them in liis reminiscences "Memories of a Mis- spent Youth"â€" though why "-Mis- spent,"! can't imagine. louse to be broken on the wheel forj the murder of his son.
