I'm assuming you mean boiling point.
356.73 °C, 674.11 °F

If you do, a very slight drop in the temperature of the boiling Mercury will create a vacuum sufficient to suck water back through the system right into the boiling Mercury at 675 F Please believe me when I tell you, that is BAAAAD! It will ruin your whole day and probably put you in the hospital (if you are lucky).
When once a small amount of mercury has been drawn into the bulb there is less fear of this mishap, since the bulb is then not likely to be heated to a greater temperature than that of boiling mercury.
For instance, the walruses may be connected to the boiling mercury mentioned earlier in the text, via the chain: boiling mercury -

Mercury B.P: 356.73 degree in celsius at STP condition.
but be careful, the vapours of mercury is toxic, and "boiling mercury" can be really dangrous...
