Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1879-04-19

The subject OF the Introduction OF the metric
system Of weights and measures Into the
United States came up for discussion at the re-
cent sessions Of the Academy of Sciences, which
adjourned yesterday. The Academy, of course,
favors the use OF this simple and convenient
system, whose adoption by the people, as by
the scientists, OF all nations, is much to be de-
sired. Time and a certain amount OF trouble
and cost viii, as pointed out by the executive
departments In their replies to Congressional
inquiry on the subject, be necessary to make
the Change practicable. Thorough instruction
In the new system should be provided In the
public schools. When the metric system be-
comes the only one, the backward school boy
Will find 1t much easier to m 4ster than the COM
plicated one now In use. Real estate records
would need to be revised, scales and instru-
ments adapted to the Old system would need to
be readjusted. These Inconvenience would
not be found tnsuperasle, and would soon be
outweighed by the increased convenience of
reckoning under the metric system. The
United States and Great Britain should both
reform their systems of weights and measures,
and should act In concert.

The point of expectation has been reached at
which men would not be greatly surprised II
an 8ronaut should gain sufficient control over
his air-ship to navigate 1t safely from shore to
shore Of the Atlantic, or even to go circling
around the world. There Is the best of reason
to believe that at some distance from the earth
there is a constant current OF aid tending east
ward. Learn how to keep your balloon at that
elevation and the problem Is solved. But even
this Is not necessary for a transatlantic Brial
voyage. Improvements may be devised in the
construction and the methods of handling bal
looms that viii enable them to take advantage
successfully, Of the surface winds that blow
over the Atlantic In the direction of Europe
Professor King, the weu-known 8ronaut, has
annoueed his purpose TO make extensive expert
ments with the view Of determining whether q
trip to Europe through the air Is feasible. He
is furnished with the means and has the ability
necessary to make the result of these expert.
ments conclusive. The promised balloon as
tensions viii be awaited with iAterest.

y The Growth of Washington.


The exhibit to-day In THE STAR of the build
ing improvements I'm the District lately COM
pleted, now In progress, or that are contem-
plated, serves to show that Notwithstanding
the unparalleled depression In the business of
the country, the Capital City Is growing steadily
and SOlidly. 1t will be observed that few, If
any, speculative building operations are going
on, such as characterized the "fiush times :"
out the building Improvements now are based
on the healthy natural growth OF the city.
While there are gratifying number of first
class dwellings going up, there is at the same
time due proportion OF comfortable medium
sized houses building that can be rented at
price within the means of government employees
OF the average salary. While a number of
prospective improvements are mentioned,
the list In this line is neces5 lrily incomplete
from the fact that the plans for many contem-
plated buildings have not yet been fully decided
upon, and cannot, therefore, be announced, but
1t is apparent from the number of sketches aud
estimates upon which the architects are wrfk-
Ing that very considerable addition Will be
made this year to the number OF handsome and
comfortable homes of the District cities and
suburbs 1t should be added that our enumera-
ton does not include the Government work
upon a vast scale upon such structures as the
new National Museum building, the Printing
UuLuluS, bHt OLuCC, CuC hCN
War and Navy buildings, the Government
Printing Office, &c, &c.
It matter of satisfaction to note the steady
accession here OF men Of culture, wealth, scen-
tiflc attachments, &C., who come to make their
homes In Washington, attracted by the climate,
the cosmopolitan society, or the opportunity for
study and investigation afforded by the govern
ment collections and libraries. Our educational
establishments. law and medical schools, &c.,
have already attained reputation that draws
pupils from abroad; and when the contemplated
Art school, In connection with the Corcoran
Gallery, is put In operation, Washington, with
out doubt, viii become great center for art
students. These sources OF growth, together
with the Inevitable one from the progress the
national capital must make In exact proportion
to the growth Of the nation, are sufficient to
establish with the certainty of mathematical
demonstration, that the future Of Washington
must be steadily prosperous, and to give as
surance that those who invest their money here
viii have no reason to regret 1t.

How d Georgia Thief Was Caught.

An amusing case of burglary oc-
CURED In Griffin, Ga, the rascal who
did the work being one Jake Shelton,
or One-eyed jack" as he is familiarly
known. A correspondent says: II al
lude to it as an amusing case of burglary,
and. it certainly merits such a title.
Reeves & Co., druggists here, had been
suspecting thieves from their back en-
trance, and In order to Illustrate any at
tempts in that direction had arranged a
jar of sulphuric acid over the window,
attached thereto a cord, which was con.
nected with the window. Raising this
window would invert the jar, emptying
the contents all over whoever made en-
trance. Jake concluded he didn't have
enough of worldly goods of his own, SO
he decided to appropriate a few drugs
and whatever else he could rake in.
Climbing up to the window, he made
his entrance by boring through, but, as
ill-luck would have it for him, he struck
the cord and down came the whole jaf
of acid on his woolly head, completely
burning off his clothes. The fool was
SO frightened he couldn't get away, and
his noise attracted an officer, who took
him in tow. Jake says as fast as he
would grab in one place to keep his
clothes on, the acid would eat through
another, and by the time he got to the
lookup he was about c~lothesless, piece
by piece having dropped off on the
way.-AtJGntd COnStTtUtioU--

Lie in the Clouds.

Few people, even among those who
have visited this wonderful region, real
ize the magnitude of our mountains and
the altitude of our peaks. With the
exception. perhaps, Of one on two iso-
lated spots in Colorado, mining, we
believe, has never, in this country, been
carried on at such a height above the
sea as in Lake district. Virginia City
was for a long time the loftiest mining
camp of prominence on the coast.
When the Comstock began to winter at
$500 feet, they thought they were up
in the world, sur enough. Finally
came Bodie with It's $500 feet, and that
threw Virginia in the shade. It was
reserved for Lake to walk off with the
persimmon in the form of altitude.
The Office in which the Herald is print
ed is 10000 feet above the level of the
sea. The immense groupings of the
Mammoth mill are 1000 feet, while
the summit of Mineral hill, near the
Headlight and Monte Cristo shafts, is
11,7O0 feet above the sea level. The
latter is 1900 feet above the surface of
Lake Mary by actual survey. When
we think of these enormous heights,
and compare them for instance with
the famous Mount Washington, of New
England, the latter seems little more
than a mole-hill. And what a differ.
ence, too, in the temperature. Here
though we have plenty OF snow in win
ter, yet at 10000 feet elevation we live
all the year round in frail board houses,
lined with muslin only and papered.
while on Mount Washington, 5000 feet
high, no one ever lives in winter but
United States meteorologists, and they
are quartered in a stone hut with walls
three feet thick, lined with felt and
heated with massive stoves. In this
den they stay without ever poking theil
noses out of the doors until the coming
spring relieves them. Though within
the region of perpetual snow, we spend
our winters comfortably, and, for in
stance, last winter work was hardly sus
pended for a ~day.-Mammoh Citg

Gen. Hood.

Gen. John Bell Hood, was q class
mate Of Gems. Mcpherson, Schofeld,
and Sheridan at West Point. He
served continuously In the United
States army from the day Of his gradu-
alton till April 10, 1861, when he re-
signedto enter the Confederate service.
He was distinguished as a commanding
officer for personal bravery even to the
point of rashness, and for a want OF
good Judgment. One of the newspaper
sketches called out by his death con-
tains the following:
When the futtering rebel signals
announcing that Johnston had been re-
heved and Hood appointed were de-
ciphered by tbs signal officer attached
to Gen. Thomas staff, the latter turned
to o general officer standing by with
the remark: Gentlemen, we have had
all brains and no fighting, now we shall
have all fighting and no brains"
Hood was crippled and broken down
in health. He married after the war
and had twelve children in twelve years
including three pairs o twins.-Ghicdgt

Pennsylvania. the American apostle Of
cremation as a process of disposing of
the dead, is dead, and in compliance
with his wish expressed while alive, has
been cremsted in the furnace of his own

Moyne's two persons were cremated

was a very quiet affair. Says a cores.

citizens of Washington assembled at the

Rev. George B. Haysa special invitation
to be present was extended, and these di,
vines conducted the services. When these
exercises had been concluded the re-
mains were placed in a plain rosewood
casket and were removed to the hearse.

The Iowa Election.

There is scarcely any question as to
how Iowa has gone. The news frem
that state indicates a Republican ma
jority over both the Democratic and
Greenback ticket of 5000 to 20, 900.
The Legislature returns indicate that
the Republicans will have a majority
on a joint ballot of sixty-fve. There
has been a falling off of the Greenback
vote in almost every precinct heard
from. The Prohibition ticket, expected
to draw largely, received a small vote.
LATER.-It is now estimated that
Gears majority over Trimble, the
Democratic nominee for Governor, is
som where between so, 900 and Z 5000,
and his majority over all, including the
Greenback ticket and the Prohibition,
will perhaps be $1,000. The Republi-
ans are claiming twenty-six out of
twenty-eight Senators elected this year,
