Washington. Oct. 12 —On the shelves at
the (latent office are acorea of modest
models of Inventions the world could not
now do without. A visit to this areal
market houee for Idea* impresses one with
the knowledge that the model Is no Indi

finely formed and carefully finished models
of Inventions that ha\e not brought the

the same crudity. A Ihe primary Idea
has been perfected other models have
been submitted In elaboration, and the
steps In the perfecting of some radical In
novation are contemporaneously express
ed In the models filed with the patent of
fice. Though the rule 1* not without ex
ception. the greatest Inventions were first
protected by model# of such crudity as
to be scsrcely recognisable as forerunners
of the finished article of to-day.
Prototype of the Telephone.
Take the telephone, for Instancy. In
the patent office are two cones of wood
with membraneous end# and a confu* ng
(angle of metal and wire. Each of the
one® could be hidden In one's hand Yet
(hey are the beginning of an idea that
has been perfected to the elaborate In
(rument of to-day. out of which million®
have been made and by the uae of which
continents are bridged
No one at first glance ;would sseorlate
these Insignificant bits of wood and mend
with the telephone of In-rtny. Aa a matter
of fact, the inventor himself rc v-nlly did
not One day some photographs of the
original telephone instrument were shown
in Alexander Graham Bell. Ihe Inventor
of (be telephone, and he w- asked som*
questions concerning the Instrument.
“! don't know wh.il this Is." ®*ld Mr
Belt, "t have never aeen the Instruments
here represented "
It was explained that the picture® were
an accurate representation of the models
of hi* first telephone the crude idea on
which he had built his fame and fortune.
But assoc la l lon with the perfected maUu
ment of to-d> had so blurred recotlec
tlon of the crude model by which he first
protected hi# Invention that the memory
had for the moment been obliterated Mr
Bell manifested the greatest Interest tn
th models snd said he would tike the
first opportunity to visit the patent office
and renew acquaintance with the old crea
turea of hta brain. .

Copyright 1900, by H. O Gardner.
Washington. Oct 12 -Ifl the wlndowless
basement room, originally built for a coal
vault, ot an old mansion near the national
capltol In Washington I* mounted the
most delicate pair of scalea In the United
States. To these scales are entrusted the
work of doing the government's weighing.
They sre part of the equipment of the
Treasury Depsrlment's bureau of welgnta
and measures which Is attached to the
coast survey, though why this should be
so nobody has ever adequately explained.
So delicate are these scales that they
will weigh accurately a ten-mllllonth part
of a gram They are so aensltlve that the
warmth given ofT by the body of a person
approaching them near enough to open the
glass case or to shift the wclghta, would
expand the balance arms and produce an
appreciable error In the reaulta. There
fore they have been so constructed that
they may be operated at a distance of
twenty feel. It is not necessary to open
the case or to go near the machine even
to shift the weights. Three long brass
rods extend from the base of the case
containing the scales, and at the extrem
ity of each lx wheel, so that by.turning
these wheels the weights may be shifted
from one pan to another, or any other

necessary operations conducted The
readings are made through a small teles
cope mounted where the operator stands.
Too lute It wa discovered that the es
tablishment of the Instrument In a rornor
of the room was a mistake. The fact that
one wait Is three feet away and the op
posite one nine feet has a marked effect
on the scale*. On Ihe side where the wal:
Is close the temperature t* different from
the other side, and whenever the instru
ment 1* used It has been found necessary
to surround It with large sheet* of as
bestos paper Besides thl*. the attraction
of Ihe wall tor the metal In the scale
beams has to be taken Into account.
9tlnnte Difference* I® Weight,
But these are only a few of Ihe things
Which have to be allowed for In doing a
tine Job of weighing, l-arge corrections
have to be made for Ihe temperature,
humtdttv and density of Ihe air With
each weighing there must be a reading
of the thxfwf r, barowtatai and ■ ro
mein, and correction# to correspond to th®
condition# existing at the time. In Ger
many there are scales so built that the
weighing can be conducted In a vacuum;
but thl* government owns no such appar
*'incredible as It may seem the difference
of an inch or two from the center of Ihe
earth, thousand* of miles awoy, constMut
, . an appreciable variation In Ihe weight
of the objects Thl. is Illustrated by plar

each ran when the beam *how* no varia

of tn* other In one pan having the other
pair side by side In the olher pan. and

wr'ght*. The weight* used In the experi
ment are scarcely two Inches In hlghl, so
that the dllt-rence In distance from the

The ufitftnal luudamtnul prototype*
from which all our measures of length
and mass are derived, are stored tn the
same building near the capitol The
standard of mass is a cylindrical shaped
piece of whitish metal about the site of
a tennis hall. The eiandatd of length Is
a bar of the same !lvor-llhe met.il about
three feet long tmd a tiiile les than an
Inch square. Each face Is deeply grooved,
and In ona of th grooves at either end
Is a polished spot on whl -h three dellrate
hslr lines are marked. The middle one of
these lines determines the end of the bar
The bar Is a standard metre, and the
cylindrical weight Is a standard kilogram
The material from which they are made
Is a mixture of platinum and Iridium, the
latter bring add.,! to gur additional hard
ness to the metal which above all others
Is recogniaed as the most durable. The
value of (he metal alone In this prototype
of the standard metre ta our II.JJO. hut
It has a much greater value from (he
labor expended in making It perfectly ac
curate. The kilogram and mi tre proto
types are the results of fifteen years ’ bor
by a joint congress of scientists, sir ncl
by seientecn of the leading civilian! il
lons The International Metric Convention
was organised In 1875. and on Jin. 2.
19(0. the {‘resident of the United Mateo
broke the seal of the standard klkigtam
and metre which fell to the shnre of this
country, and In the presence of the Sec
retary of the Treasury and a number ot
Invited guests, assembled In the cabin-1
room of ihe Executive Manelon, declared
them officially adopted.
These originals hove been used bul on e
since. This was when a very accurate
copy was made from each for prurth i|
use by the govrrnment bureau In regulat
ing the standard weight* and measure
of the country. The original kilogram
was then placed under two glass bell Jars
which were looked and eealed. No human
band has touched the kilogram since It left
the maker* In Tarts; what Itlth* handling
haa been necessary has been done with
a twilr of special forceps covered with sofi
chamois skin. Thl* Is to prevent Increase
of weight by the adhesion of minute
quaniitles of foreign substances, or
decrease of weight by a abrasion. It has
not been found necessary to exercise an
equal degree of care lir preserving Ihe
standard metri; a little moisture or dirt
would not lengthen or shorten the metal
lic bar Nevertheless It Is kept in a case
of velvet surrounded with wood and pro
tected on the outside by a heavy Iron
cylinder with a screw cap It la removed
only on special o* ca.lons.
The only geneially legal standard of
weights ami measures tn the United States
Is the metric system. On July 26, IS*;,
Congress passed an act making the metri -
system lawful throughout the t'nlnri
States and defining the weights and meas
ure# In common use In term* of the unit*
of thl# system The government mini,
however, has a system of It* own Tty a
special art of t'ongresa pissed tn IS2B the
Troy pound was made Ihe standard for
weighing the government bullion, and n
prototype obtained the previous year from
.London, and made by Galiailn, was de
clared standard.
Some I napprerialcd gnppllra.
Although there haa bean no adequate
legislation on th# subject, Ihe government
attempts tn a haphaxand aort of way to
supply the stale* with accurate standards
of Ihe ordinary pound, bushel and gallon
used In everyday commercial tranaactlons
Each state la supposed to have a full act
of the government prototypes, and the
bureau at Washington ts now engaged In
making two sets, for recently admitted
slate* of the far west. Bach atate Is sup
posed tn have an official sealer of weight
and measures with a corps of Inspectors
under him; and then each mun!rl|l!ty or
township Is supposed to have Its dulv ap
pointed authorities who have their work
ing copies of Ihe standard measures, and
who see that tradesmen do not employ
false scales In dealing out their wares
to the people.
That Is the theory of tt: th# way It
works out tn practice Is very different
The atate and local fun-(binaries ar. very
likely to be politicians with small rever
ence for eelentltlc accuracy and little heed
for Ihe duties of their office. The care
fully worked out standards which are
furnished by the government are usually
stored tn cellars or unused vaults and
their very existence forgotten. In one of
the eastern states It was discovered re
cently that the gold-plated half bushel
standard measure was being used to fee-1
Ihe horse belonging to the assistant chief
of the fir* department; the standard pound
weight was busy holding a door open; the
gallon measure found Its sphere of use
fulness as a cuspidor and the smaller pro
totypes all had Joist as paper weights. In
another atata the custodian hored a hole
In the standard of liquid measure and fit
ted It with a splgat tn order to facilitate
ths measuring ryperattons.
Sometimes the elate officials l-egln tn
suspect tnat their measures sre It

Washington for rsnewal. Thug weights

Necessity for New standard.
Th# advent of electricity and the geqeral
advancement of science has brought new
work to th* bureau of weight* and meas
ures. It haa also emphasised the nod of
adequate legislation under the constitu

unform standards. Atl over th# land peo
