Federated Union In New York Will
 Assist the Marines.

New York, August 23.-At the close of stormy sesison of the central fed eration union today 1t was voted to stand by the marine machinists union in the strike for an increase in wages.

 The conference committee reported that in their efforts last Friday to come to some agreement with the em. ployers they had made no progress that the employers positively refused to consider the minimum $3 per day, or to grant another increase.

 BEATING HIS WIFE
WILL BRYANT IS SAID TO HAVE A REcoRD-PoLlcE CLAIM HE WAS SENTENCED FOR HIGH WAY ROBBERY.

Will Bryant, a white man, was ar rested last night by Policemen Culpep- per and Burke on a charge of assault and battery on his wife. The police state that he beat her up badly, and that she was forced to leave home on his account.
 When the matter was reported to the police 1t was said that he had threaten ed to kill the policeman who tried to ar rest him. When Policeman Culpepper went into the house Bryant had a pistol lying on the dining room table. but the policeman got the drop on him and he was forced to come to jail quietly.
 According to the police Bryant was convicted in Birmingham about eight years ago of highway robbery and sent to the mines for twenty years. They do not understand why he is out and will hold him until an investigation is made. If he has been paroled they will take the evidence in this case and send 1t to the governor.
 The police state that Bryant has given them a great deal of trouble in years gone by. and that he was sent to the mines for holding up and robbing a white man on the Twenty-frst street bridge.

A SENSITIVE SCALE.
1t Will Weigh Down to Billlonth of
 kilogran1

From the Chicago News
 What is believed to be the most sensi- tive weighing machine in the world has just been procured by Director Stratton of the national bureau of standards It is temporarily installed in the coast and geodetic survey building and because Of its imperfect surroundings the full de- gree of its sensitiveness cannot be ascer- tained StIn sults have been secured even under these unfavorable conditions which warrant the statement that 1t is the most delicate set of scales in the world It can weigh the slightest change in temperature. A yellow fever microbe would defect its beam so rapidly that there would be danger of disarranging the delicate mechanism. It puts the scales that register the weight of hair out of the running That test used to be regarded as the acme of delicacy In the weighing line, but If a hair were placed in one pan of Professor Stratton's wonderful machine without the other pan being carefully counterbalanced the pan containing the hair would drop down quickly.
 So far the experts of the bureau have been able to detect the difference of three one-billlonths of a klogram. A klo- gram is equivalent to 2.2046 pounds. When the machine is permanently installed on an absolutely firm base and where att mospheric and thermometric conditions arc In perfect control they expect to be able to detect variations of weight down to one billionth of kilogram.
 It will cost thousands of dollars to suitably install these scales. They are to be placed in a concrete foundation sunk so deep in the ground that there will not be the least vibration. In de- terminng the weight of anything with them the weighmaster must get within fifteen feet of the scales. Otherwise some of the heat coming from his body must get weighed and send his careful calculations astray.
 Articles to be weighed are placed on the scales for twenty-four hours before they are weighed in order that they may have exactly the same temperature as the scales. The colder a weight is the heavier and vice versa. Variations in temperature are recorded more faithfully than with the thermometer. Professor Stratton says that when a weight Is placed on the scales and the atmosphere that surrounds them there is an upward current whose lifting power is recorded by the scales. Two platinum weights were placed on the pan and they balanced the weight on the other side exactly. One was lifted from the pan, held in the fingers moment and then restored to the scales and reading made. There was difference of seven billionths of a kilogram in the two weights which were not as large as a gold dollar
 The scales are to be used in determin- ing the exactness of the standards of weight which are to be put out by the bureau. They were made in Vienna
