Measuring Mi;lioneth of a Degree.

Prof. Langley, of the Smithsonian
institution, has brought his balo-
meter to a state of high perfection.
This instrument, in theory extreme
ly simple, is a fine wire through
which current of electricity is kept
flowing. The resistance of the
wire varies with the tempera-
ture, and hence the strength of
the current also varies. By meas
uring the current, therefore, the
temperature of the wire can be ascer-
tained. AS is well known, Prof.
Langley has explored the invisible
regions of the solar spectrum with
this device, proving by it that in
them, as we'll as in the luminous por-
tions, fine absorption lines exist. In
this and in other fields it has easily
taken a place as one of the most val
liable of existing instruments. In
the latest and most delicate form the
wire is 1900 inch wide and 5000
inch thick, and a difference of tenn
perature amounting to 1-1,00O, 600
centigrade can be perceived.

WASHINGTON ETIQUETTE.
The interchange of Courtesies Be.
tween Ministers and Senators.


tween Ministers and Senators,
The wife of a new senator once
told me, says writer in Kate
! Fields Washington, that she was
determined to make no social mis-
takes, so-wise woman that she was
she asked Senator Edmunds,
whom she knew was thoroughly
eonversant with every detail of Of
fetal etiquette, by reason of his
long career in the senate, if it was
not incumbent upon her to make
her first visit to the wives of for
eign ministers. He replied:
Certainly not, madam; a SEN
ator never makes the first visit
upon a foreign minist ter"
So, thanks to her good sense in
consulting an old senator, this lady
did not make the mistake that a
few less wise senator's wives have
done of making first visits when
etiquette required that they should
receive them. Of course, as the
senate has increased in size. the last
few years, it can hardly be expected
that foreign ministers should call
upon all new senator's, but they
ought to upon the old ones, and
upon others whom they wish to
know. think the charming wife
OF one of the diplomats has adopted
very wise rule, as she remarked to
o senator's wife to whom she had
just been presented: II know it is
my place to call upon senator's
wives, but l wait until meet them,
and shall now give myself the
pleasure of calling on you"
If the ladies of the diplomatic
corps would follow the lead of this
popular lady they would avoid some
OF the mistakes that they now make
in our official etiquette.
