One Of the difficult problems in practical
mechanics is TO make a straight edge -
How difficult Ii is may be judged from an
incident which occurred in the shops of j.
A. Brashear. the astronomical instrument
maker. n customer asked Mr.. Brashear
what would be the price of "a perfect
straight-edge of glass thirty-six inches
long," 1T can't be made absolutely per-
feet" said Mr. Brashear. but IL could
probably be made with limit OF error
amounting to only a fraction of a wave
length of light" How much would that
cost?" About $4,000" 1t turned out that
the customer wanted the straight-edge for
a scraper, and that an error OF one-sixty-
fourth of an inch would have been insen
sible for his purpose

When Judge Norrell opened court this
morning, and before the Mills trial was
proceeded with, his honor called the

when II can be reached"
Mr. Putnam said Il would be some
days yet before the case on trial could
be disposed Of, how long would depend
upon the defense.
Judge Powers stated that he expected
