Boutigny states tl,at the temperanu'e of' bodies in the spherohla/~',,ndition is always b d o w that of ebullition ; fin" water it is 9 T ~ (206"6 ° l2, . The sl)heroi(IM matter is never in thermal equilibrium with tile ve--,.l which contains it, bltt lJm vapor which escapes t}'om it is a/ways of t h(! same, ~emperature as the vessel.
