else manipulation of testing and measur-
ing, radfum was discovered Nearly
every important scientific discovery of
modern times has been in whole or in
part the result of measuring Instruments
OF remarkable refinement
one or the most impressive sights to
be seen In this institution is its new
giant testing machine which has q COM
pressIve power OF 100000 pounds. and
a pulling power of 1, $50. 900 pounds This
latter power is sufficient to pull asunder
a great steel shaft measuring FIVE inches
IN diameter or to break a huge struc-
tural column more than twice as Iarge
1t Is able accurately to register this great
strain. Immediately after exerting a
pressure of more than 100000 pounds,
and registering this degree of pressure
with great accuracy. it will crush an egg
shell and register the pressure required
in that operation with equal fidelity
This great machine may be ikened
roughly to huge hydraulic jack with a
pair of registering scales attached. 1t
VIII test any piece of material from few
screws. some forty feet long, twelve
inches in diameter. and with threads five
eighthS Of an inch deep, are used to ap-
ply the power Oil is used instead of
water, in great cylinders. to furnish
the power for pressure or tension. Only
a small part of the great pressure which
the machine exerts falls upon the weigh
Ing instrument. Great springs are dis
trlDuted through the parts of the machine
to bear the strain and absorb any shock
which might result from the breaking Of
the material being tested. Although this
great testing machine Is vast in proper
lions and powerful in strength, still
more powerful machine is installed in the
bureau of standards testing plant at
Pittsburgh. This machine is able to exert
a force of 100000 pounds. sufficient to
break the shaft of the biggest war vessel
afioat.
1t would be long story to describe the
variety of materials whose properties are
measured by the bureau to ascertain their
quality. They range from the horseshoe
nail Of the army mule to the steel and
cement for the great isthmian canal;
from the single strand of silk to steel
rails. bookmaking materials, paper, type,
ink, glue. CLOTH structural materials for
building skyscrapers. bridges and houses,
including also paints, varnishes, protec-
tive coatings: office supplies - such as
writing papers, sealing wax. mucilage,
ink, paste, typewriter ribbons, including
even red tape. The permanency of pub
lie records depends on the ink and paper.
and until recently both were doubtful.

self-acting Irvine tester unwinds the

winds them, while samples are tested

for breaking strength. Uncle Sans
Irvine each year costs a quarter million
dollars. and must be full measure of
strength and length. The cloth in
the national flags and that used In
bookbinding and other purposes are
tested as to as many qualities as re-
quired, sometimes as to wear, some
times as to strength, but always to
select the, Fest, or ascertain whether
goods are of the quality specified. The
quality of paper was once expert
guesswork. The paper was felt with
the fingers and tongue. torn, crumpled.
even chewed, and the expert was then
supposedly able to guess the quality.
Now, every element is measured by the
bureau fiber. sizing and mineral; the
dye and its color and fastness are
studied, while the bursting strength.
weight and thickness and folding dur
ability are measured on automatic
machines more accurately than the
work that the recipe" by which the
paper was made can be reproduced
from the tests.
The amazing electrical progress of
the past half century is due largely
to the wonderful improvement in
methods of measuring electricity and
to the single world system of units of
electrical measure The bureau of
standards has had experts working
for years to fix the worlds electrical
uiiItS anu StdHQdTQS. some or these
researches are of astonishing precision.
and while they can be appreciated only
by the expert, everybody will profit
by the general electrical advance made
possible by the greater exactness Of
the standards. The standard cells
which fix the value of the volt as
laboratory standard are kept con-
stantly in Oil baths regulated to a con-
slant temperature, not varying by SO
much as the hundredth of a degree
The standard of voltage is now the
mean of six standard cells selected as
the best of several hundred. The
standard ohm, the unit of resistance, is
determined by the resistance which a
tube of mercury of infinitely specified
dimensions and construction offers to
current of electricity.
The bureau is investigating how cleo
tricity corrodes iron and steel in un-
foreground pipes and structures The
danger is such as seriously to imperil
city water and gas mains, great build
ings. bridges. etc. The problem Is be-
ing studied throughout the United
States by the bureaus experts.
