Fifteen Cities in 1920
May Reach a Population
In Excess of 500, 900

There will certainly be ten Amer
lean cities, when the 1920 census count
is made, that will have a population
in excess of 100000, and there may
be as many as fifteen that will pass
the half-million population score,
states writer in the Baltimore
American. Baltimore is going to be
in the big ten, but where along in
the big ten? New York, Chicago and
cities in the order named. But what
city will occupy fourth place? And
just what place in the first ten col
umn will Baltimore occupy? The
question may seem trivial, but it is
a question in which the people of at
least five cities, Baltimore being in
cluded in the five, are even now TAX
ing lively interest.
The FIVE cities that will be in COM
petition for fourth place are Balti-
more, Boston, st. Louis. Detroit and
Cleveland. The city, that is most
likely to beat Baltimore in the race
for fourth place is Detroit, which now
has an estimated population of $685.
OOO.~ Estimated populations some
times shrink tremendously when the
government count is made, and it may
be so with the spurty metropolis Of
Michigan. St. Louis Is claiming a
1918 population of $4,000, but this
also is subject to possible shrinkage,
as it is 10000 greater than the 1910
score. Boston has not extended her
boundary lines and is not making any
claim to extraordinary population
growth. The New England city does
claim an increase of 100000 over the
1910 count, however, or present
population of 10000.
It seems to be warranted conclu-
sion that Baltimore must score above
100000 to get fourth place in the COL
umn. If the Baltimore score should
be around, say, 10000, the Greater
Baltimore may not be located above
seventh place and may be in eighth
position, or only two places from bot
tom. But the Baltimore count may
be in a way of surprise. We don't
know Just how many people there are
in the annex.

Invar, New Metal, Believed
BY Various Investigators
To Have Least Expansion

The fact that all metals expand and
contract more or less with every va
ration of temperature introduces great
complications into the making of in
struments concerned with absolute
standards of time or space, and much
research has been devoted to the find
ing of a metal having the lowest pos
sible coeff1cient of thermal expansion.
In due course the investigators arrived
at d nickel steel alloy containing about
SO per cent nickel and about 5 per
cent each of carbon and manganese
which was found to have a remark"
ably small thermal expansion at or
binary temperatures, and to which
the name "Invar" has been given.
A summary of the results obtained
during the last rs years by various In
yestigators of this property of invar
and related nickel steels show, &C
cording to the Scientific American, that
a bar Of ordinary inver expands or con-
tracts by about one.millionth of Its
length for one degree centigrade alter
alton in the temperature anywhere
within the range Of zero to 40 de-
grees. A much higher degree of con-
stancy than this is, however, some
times obtained; much depends on the
amounts of carbons and manganese
present.
Small quantities of invar have been
manufactured which showed change
in length of less than half a millionth
per degree between zero and 20 de-
grees. This alloy contained .O6 per
cent. carbon and $50 per cent man
ganese. Samples have even been pre-
pared which showed negative CO.
efficient of expansion, !. e., which con"
tracted slightly instead Of expanding
as the temperature rose. -
Invar possesses this peculiar prop
erty only within a moderate tempera'
ture range; from 40 degrees upward
the coefficient of expansion steadily
increases as the temperature rises, un'
til at 200 degrees 1t Is the same as
that of Bessemer STEEL
