A Valuable Scientific Discovery.

United States Consul General Richard
Guenther reports to the Department of
Commerce and Labor the invention of a
new alloy by German physicist. This al
10y, which is called invar, when heated
contracts instead of expanding. 1t consists
of nickel and steel, therefore of two met
ais which each for itself expands rather
considerably in heat. Mr.. Guenther also
states that proportions of compositions of
alloys have also been found SO that they
neither expand nor contract, but remain
the same in all degrees of heat. Already
objects for tropical surveys have been made
of it Such measurements always suffered
from certain inaccuracies, owing to the ex-
pansion of the metals in the heat, and re-
Quired numerous measurements. The con-
sui says that this physicist has made a
special alloy to correct the unrest of naval
chronometers. Such chronometer recently
tested at the observatory at Kew, near
London, had a deviation of only eighteen
one hundredths of second day, and for
an increase In temperature of degree F.
each deviation was only four-one thou
sandths of a second a day more
