BLAKESLEE Associated Press' Science Editor CLEVELAND, .Jan. 2 (AP) Th fine tungstein filament In your electric lamp is the spring of the scale with which science has weighed the earth's 6,000, 000,000,;000.000.000,000 tons. If your baby needs more sleep It is not bo good to put him to bad earlier at night. An after noon nap Is better. .With these extremes lllustratr lug the1 scope of. its researches the American association for the adrancement of science today closed Its 87th annual meeting. To wei;jh the earth mere ac curately -than has been done be fore. , science merely. had to send to the ! nearest, electric supply bouse In Washington to get some tungstein filament and then do six years Intensive work at meas uring and calculating. The ordinary commercial fila ment! was the heart of the scales as described by Dr. Paul R. Heyl of the U. S. bureau of standards. Washington. Stronger , and more flexible than the fine steel wire previously used, the, tuirgsten helped to eliminate errors. Grave Diffirultle In Measuring Ball n A wire one thousandth! of. an Inch thick suspended a tiny-bar madei to resemble a dumb bell by having a two ounce glass ball at tached to each end. This feathery dumbell would move slowly when two steel Icylinders, , each weighing .140 pounds, were placed close to4the balls. L- ( i The rotational "movement. Dr. Heyl said, was caused by the gravitational pull of th big weights uttn the glass balls., a pull equivalent approximately to the weight 'of the period at the end of this 'sentence. To measure this pull accurately was the main Job. ( I -: : The apparatus differed from previous designs in obtaining a very ! slow swing of the dumbell so that the scientists could meas ure the effect of a swing lasting five minutes instead of one tak ing but about half a minute. This also made' for greater, accuracy. As a result the pull of gravita tion was found slightly larger than previously believed. Know ing this pull, called, the gravita tion constant, the earth's weight was obtained by mathematical computation. The new gravitational ralue, said Dr. Heyl, changes no earth ly weights, no nautical tables. It might make a slight difference in calculations about comets i which have orbits extending farther out from the sun than the new plan et Pluto. It might be useful to (Turn to page 8, col. 3) Costs to Better Road From Here, Gervais, Probed Estimates of the Ost of widen ing the Pacific highway between Salem and Gervais, will be pre- - pared as soon as possible by Roy E.

As to the cosmic . ray, with Which his absent associate, Dr. Robert Mlllikln, has recently done so much, the German professor said: "Until now we are not cer tain as to the source or nature of the cosmic ray, and we cannot see in this domain a basis for .theor etical Investigation up to the present."
