The Finest Sieve.

THINK what a hopeless task It
would be to count the number OF
dustlike particles in a sack of Port.
land cement, such as used to huild
sidewalks, highways and buildings.
This must be done. however, since
Uncle Sam insists that every sack OF
cement sold in this country be OF
known consistency and of a dehnte
fineness. There can be no guesswork
about this, either. for laboratory ex'
perts have devised methods that give
them accurate information. How this
has been accomplished is so great an
achievement as to be most interest
ing to everybody.
One of the tests is that at least 7s
per cent of a given quantity of the
material must be able to pass
through a sieve having 10000 holes
to the square inch. Such a sieve mas
200 hairlike wires to the linear inch.
1t Is more closely woven than a me
quality Of silk dress goods.
The making of this. the finest sieve
in the world. Is an art in itself, only
the very best quality of extremely
fine bronze wire Is usable. that drawn
through diamond dies. Over a mile
Of this wire Is required to weave a
single square foot Of the testing sieve.
In the finished product both the wires
and the tiny holes between must be
uniform In size.
