senaitive Measurement.

Minute bendings of steel bar three feet long and three and one-half feet in diameter are accurately measured by a curious but very sensitive device of the United8 States bureau of standards. The bar, supported at each end, has a small mirror fixed at it's center, and above this is a frame holding another mirror partially silvered. As the light of n sodium burner is reflected in each mirror the lower mirror shows g series of black and yellow concentric rings. A very small weight, even that of a pin, defects the bar and causes the cir cles to expand outward! Each circle indicates a movement of one hundred thousandth of an inch, the pressure of a finger, forming five or more new cir cles, showing bending of one twenty thousandth of an inch.
