Washington. March 9.-The President to-
day nominated Samuel W. Stratton OF ILL.,
nois to be director of the National Bureau
of Standards. The bill creating this bureau
became a law in the closing hours Of the
Fffty-sixth Congress. 1t is of great interest
to scientists and manufacturers Of scientific
apparatus all over the country and will un-
doubtedly cause a material increase in the
exports of such instruments as require
standardiZing.
The United States have been the only great
nation without a governmental bureau of
standards. and the domestic manufactures
Of physical. astronomical, chemical ard
other scientific apparatus, while success
fully competing with the foreign products
in workmanship and design, have been
placed at a great disadvantage for lack OF
a recognized standard Of measurement. 1t
has been found necessary to ship great
quantities Of such instruments to
for the verification Of their standard. and
quotations for certain apparatus are almost
invariably furnished, accompanied with the
proviso that their measurements shall be
tested by comparison with the standards of
a named foreign country. Only recently, the
Navy Department, in order accurately TO
determine the exact candle-power of certain
incandescent lights. was forced to send them

The United States is nearly 30 times
as great as the United Kingdom of

The United States imports from Al

In 1901 there were only $4,000 per-
