GOVKHNRF.NT fITANUAJtM. T® Weigh * y.ephry or leore * Hairbreadth. 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 ’ ~ ll ■ Original Folding Bed. 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 ing two equal weight* *lda by aid# In each ran when the beam *how* no varia tion But place one of the weights on top of tn* other In one pan having the other pair side by side In the olher pan. and the balance wit! be disturbed, the weight* Which gre *!dc by ski* appearing the heavier because of Ih* Increased distance from the centre of gravity of erne of th# wr'ght*.

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 of (mllshlng up and they a*nd them to Washington for rsnewal.

There ts a rertaln style of cealea tn common use which th* government expert* say should tie absolutely forbidden This is the set's which has lo pans supported on upright* which rise from a hnrlxont.il bar balanced In th# middle on a pivot Th* balance may be perfect arxl the weight! up to standard, and yet the customer may have short weight given to him by the simple device of placing Ihe weight on the out side of ths pan and the merchandise on the side nearest the pivot. Thus one arm of ihe balance ts lengthened and the other shortened In the Interest of Ihe dealer. 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 tional power to provide the country with unform standards. Atl over th# land peo ple are paying for electric light; and jet they have no standard by which to meas ure II or to gauge the *!** ol their hilt* except the say-s® of the company which furnishes It.
