{Boiling point}, the temperature at which a fluid is

for alcohol, 172.96[deg]; for ether, 94.8[deg]; for
mercury, about 675[deg]. The boiling point of water is
lowered one degree Fahrenheit for about 550 feet of ascent
above the level of the sea.

{Boiling spring}, a spring which gives out very hot water, or
water and steam, often ejecting it with much force; a
geyser.

{To be at the boiling point}, to be very angry.

{To keep the pot boiling}, to keep going on actively, as in
certain games. [Colloq.]
