THE FOOT AND THE POUND.

The foot and the pound are found in ey.
cry country, and have evidently been de-
rived directly from the Romans. But they
can claim a far higher antiquity, for Mr..
Chisholm traces their origin to the Babylo-
mans or ~Chaldeans, who, as units Of length,
used both the cubit and the 'oot. These
were subsequently adopted by the Egyp-
tians, who introduced considerable variety,
90 that there is no little confusion between
the different kinds Of cubit and foot. The
natural cubit, of about 10 inches, and the
foot, which was two-thirds of this length,
were transferred to Greece, and, the cubit
having fallen into disuse, the foot became
the ordinary standard of the Romans. At
the same time the double cubit, which was
equivalent to three feet, would appear to
have survived in the form of the ell of
medieval Europe. and in that of our W
yard. As all these measures were originally
derived from the proportions Of the human
body, some caution is necessary in referring
their origin to remote antiquity rather than
directly to the length Of the forearm or the
foot. 1t must be admitted, however, that
the coincidence Of length among oil civil
lied nations is very striking. The deriya-
ton of the pound weight is more compli.
Gated. The earlier Tower pound appears
to have been of Roman origin, being pre-
sumably identical with the Greek-Asiatic
NINA, while the hundred weight cores
pended to the talent or weight of a cubic
foot of water. Subsequently the Troy
pound was substituted, and, for commercial
transactions, the pound a~voirdupois, from
the old French pound of 10 ounces. 1t is
evident, however, that our weights and
measures in the dark ages were in an un-
settled state and subject to arbitrary alter.

POTTERY IN NEW JERSEY.

Tho report of DIR. George II. Cook, State
6eologist of New Jersey (Trenton, 1871

Industries of our country are becoming Of
great importance, and New Jersey is
nridly taking the lead of the other States
ir this department of useful art. The
rsrort for 1874 gave some estimates which
serve to show something of the nature and
.Stent of the business. 1t was estimated
that 265 900 tons of fire clay are annually
dug at Woodbridge, Perth fAmboy. and
South Amboy, and sold for the making of
p:ick, pottery, pipe, ~retorts, crucibles, fac
Ing for wall paper, alum, ETC., at prices
varying from $3.50 to S13 a ton. and
realizing annually about 1927 500. This is
TOR the clay alone. The manufactures
from this clay are among the most interest
ing and promising in the State. Trenton
had in 1874 twelve potteries, employing
.hout 1000 men and 1000 women and
bays, turning out wares annually of the
'S!ue of 81, 800, 600. These industries have
a.; seemed to flag during the hard times.
The present report gives no satisfaction OF
later date, but informs us that about three
tourths of the pottery industry of the
United States represented in the United
States Potters' Association is in the works
at Trenton. The total value of potteries
OF American fabric sold in 1875 is placed at
50, 993, 900, and the total wages paid for
labor in the same ear at s 100000.
These sums do not include potteries not
represented in the Association. The wares
axe chiefly of the ordinary classes of plain
aseful articles, known under the general
denomination of earthen and stone wares.
The total consumption of potteries and
porcelain in the United States for the same
year was stated by the Potters' Association
