Scales That Would Weigh a Thought

Sir William Ramsay. the distinguished English
scientist, has invented a pair of scales delicate
enough. literally, to weigh a thought. Their rec
ord so far is one seven-millionth of an ounce,
which is considerably lighter than most thoughts
usually are. The scales are kept under Sir Viii
lam's own laboratory in a small subterranean
chamber.
The room is kept in semi-darkness. So deli
cate are these wonderful scales that their bal
ance is disturbed by the alteration of temperature
caused by the turning on of an electric light at
the other end of the room. The operator has to
leave them Tor an hour in darkness-after he has
tiptoed from the roof. SO that his football should
not set up any yibration-and then read them
swiftly. before any change in the temperature has
had time to affect them.
Hanging by one end of the beam of the scales
by a strand Of silica fibre SO slender that it is
scarcely possible to see it is a tray. Upon this is
placed a minute glass tube. Imprisoned In the
tube is a Whit OF Xenon, a gas discovered by Sir
William Ramsay. The movement of the scales
when the tube is dropped upon them Is SO slight
that II cannot be detected at all by the eye. But

tribes there are choirs of picked singers who are

readers to learn that some of the Indian COM

hold musical contests. A favorite form of com
