Named by institutions.

The three foreign scientists arrived In
this country the latter part Of March.
They were appointed by the directors OF
respective institutions to engage in the
tests. Each Of the institutions 10 the
standardizing laboratory of the country
1t represents. It was decided to hold the
tests in the United States bureau Of
standards at the instance of the Ameri-
can members OF the International COM
mittee named in London.
The funds for carrying on the investiga-
ton were procured by Prof g. W. STRAIT
ton, director of the bureau Of standards
and treasurer OF the International COM
mittee on electrical units and standards.
OF the sum necessary to defray the ex-
penses $500 each has been contributed by
the American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers. the National Electric Light AS
ISOLATION. the Association OF Edison Illu-
minating companies and the Illuminating
Engineering Society.

Voltameters in Readiness.

A visit to the rooms where the inves-
LEGATIONS and tests are in progress
under the guidance OF Prof. Rosa yes
terday showed the voltameters, one
from each OF the four laboratories rep
resented. set up In tandem, and each
ready to receive the proper amount OF
the silver nitrate and undergo tests to
determine how much silver can be de-
posted in stated time under the same
conditions.
The greatest care is taken in prepar-
Ing the silver nitrate to be used in the
tests, and the weighing Is done in q
room of a stated temperature and the
scales read by means OF telescopes
passing through the wall.
A momentary change In the tempera-
ture or even breath of air might so
change the conditions as to ruin the
Prof. Rosa.
The testing of the cells, or that
stage of it yesterday, was confined to 4
small basement room securely locked
perature conditions Hundreds Of little
cells were placed on racks in tubs al
most filled with oil and each connected
in such way that their electromotive
force could be ascertained and the diff
ferences in the various groups compared
on the instant. The crucial tests. if such
they may be called, are taken from time
to time and an accurate record Of the
comparisons kept. The maximum differ
ence in the numerical values Of any Of
the cells IL a few one-hundred-thou-
sandths. while the average il but several
-millionths. The cell tests are prob
able the most delicate of the three under
taken. The resistance OF wire coils is de-
termined through the medium Of mer-
curry contained in glass tubes about 106
centimeters in length and miilimeter
in diameter. The resistance is ascertain
ed in ohms. These mercury ohms are
the ultimate standards and are used for
all practical measurements. even of the
highest precision. The ohm values are
recorded and compared In the same man
aer as voltage values In the cell tests.

Work Of Delicate Nature.

The fact that the 1--WE investigators are
working on such small numerical diff
-ferences makes their lAbors OF an ex-
tremely delicate nature, so much so that
a fraction of . degree In temperature, the
slightest particle Of foreign matter and
thousand and one other. causes may
seriously aRect whole series of investi-
cations. AS a consequence. the work is
being carried on under as near ideal
conditions as It. Is possible to obtain in
the electrical laboratories Of the bureau.
The current used in the tests is the most
uniform obtainable. Extraordinary pre-
cautions as. to determining weight by
telescope observation and purifying
metals to such q degree that practically
no atom OF foreign matter exists In it
are resorted to.
The foreign investigators have brought
with them from their own laboratories
apparatus and chemicals for the purpose
OF reproducing their own Investigations
In the past. in order that comparisons
might the more easily be made with re-
search results Of the others.

TIME LIMIT NEARLY UP
SMALL PROSPECT OF GETTING
AVIATION MEET.
Offer Would Not Be Accepted
Accompanied by Reported Grants
to the Wrights.

Practically all likelihood Of holding
the international aviation contest neax
Washington has disappeared. The time
limit when the offer OF the Washington
Baltimore clubs to finance the meet ex-
pires will be at noon tomorrow. There
will be a meeting OF the Aero Club Of
America In New York tomorrow even
ing. when the offers Of Washington
and Baltimore. st. Louis and Los Ange-
les will be discussed. II q direct offer
Of the meet is made to Washington 1t
will be considered, but II the PROPOSE
ton to give the Wright brothers $780,
900 in cash and q large section Of the
gate receipts. as suggested in dis
patch from New York, accompanies the
offer, 1t will not be even thought Of
here.
Demand Of the Wrights.
So far the Aero Club of America,
which has been conducting all the me-
gotiations for the meet, has not d.
vulged what the Wrights require in
payment for license" It has been
intimated from New York that it would
be almost a prohibitive sum. In that
case, the members Of the Washington
committee say. New York Will have to
get along without the assistance Of
Washington.
1t is asserted that the Aero Club OF
America has treated Washington and
Baltimore with such indifference through
out that there is little interest or expecta-
ton in the matter and II the meet IL held
in this country at all New York will
either have to shoulder the burden or
make some very attractive offer to get
any other city to take the meet at all.
Position Of Aero Club.
The Aero Club Of America Is in q rather
peculiar position. too. The president Of
the club Is also the president Of che Her.

Differences in Volt Values.

The necessity for this work has been
due to differences in volt values of the
cell In various countries, q slight differ
ence in the value for the ohm and conse-
auently varying ampere value, which
is the unit by which electrical current is
measured. Since the standards fixed by
the Chicago electrical congress in 1893
there have come into use three different
volt values for the cell in particular in
America, Germany and Great Britain. The
necessity for eliminating such differences
has been apparent to the worlds elecri-
clans for several years.
Tho differences existing between the
values used in the several countries are
not sufficient to affect mercantile inter-
ests." said Prof. Rosa yesterday, ''but
they are Of sufficient variance to create
confusion In electrical research and the
finer. more delicate work In electricity
An absolute numerical International
standard will do away with the difficulties
met In working under two or three differ
ent numerical bases. The differences ex-
listing In the several standard cells now
under comparison range from about one
one hundred thousandth to possibly ten
one shundfsd-thousandths We hope to
reduce these differences still furthef.''
