own limits and to fight any attempt to
limit it by congress.

states and the interstate commerce
commission was deemed necessary and
it was agreed to bring that about IL

Measuring the Suns Heat.

The instrument in the observatory of Mount Whitney, by which the variations of the suns heat are measured, might be called an electrical thermometers It is an apparatus so large as to occupy d building of considerable size; vet the essential part of its mechanism, which makes the record, is a fine thread of platinum, connected electrically with a balarce of Warvelous delicacy. The beam of the balance is flament of spun glass five inches long and less in diameter than hair, in the middle of which is a concave mirror as big as a large pinhead. This mirror (Which weighs 2'2 milli2rams-about as much as the hind leg of Ay) is fastened upon a square piece cut from dragon hy's wing, and the whole affair is suspended from fiber of spun quartz crystal two feet long and one fve-thousandth of an inch thick,
 Outside of the buildings is queer looking machine provided with a large circular mirror, W hish is controlled bv clockwork in such way as to face the sun at all hours and to throw q beam into the mouth of a great tube that en- ters the observatory. A single ray of the sunshine thus conveyed is permitted to fallupon the platinum thread, through which current of electricity constantly passes. It is well known that the elec- trical resistance of platinum varies with it' temperatures; and so by measuring the resistance of the thread, the heat of the suns ray thrown upon it is deter mined. So accurate is the determina- ton, i'll fact, that a variation of one millionth of a degree Fahrenheit can be distinguished.
 Changes in the temperature of the platinum thread cause the wonderful little balance to sway, while another ray of light, allowed to fall upon it's tiny cnncave mirror, is reflected upon a meas uring scale. Thus, as the dot of reflected light runs along the scale, one may ob- serve with the eye the variations in the amount of heat conveyed by the sun beam, which comes through the tube rom outside the building. When de- sired, however, the measuring scale is replaced by slowly travelling photo graphic film, which makes q permanent record.-Exchangc.
