Rehnements OF Measurements Have Gone

On lenses c~urvatures of 1-t50,O00 inch

ANALYSIS of mere traces of different ele-
ments, fractional wave lengths are read
to 1850 millionth of an inch. Prof.
Dewar in his researches on liquid air
attained a vacuum of 1850 millionth
of an atmosphere by filling a vessel
with mercurial vapor and exposing it
to a very low temperature, and Prof.
Boys, with the simplest possible ar

able to just detect an attractive force
of the 1-2O, 900 millionth of q grain. So
