Calling attention to the democratic
disposition to turn the indians over
to:the war department, the Washing
ton Star Is not sure that 1t Is the best
way out OF our difficulties TO put the
army In charge "The duties OF an
Indian agent are not military, and II
Is not desirable that the Indian should
associate government with uniform.
The Indian needs to be taught how
to plough, build houses, read and use
machinery. fhis Is not the soldieps
function" But the Indian will learn
these things quite as readily under
the direction and protection OF army
officers as from agents who, In the
majority of cases, are dishonest and
treacherous. There will be check
on officers of the army, and justice i
more likely to be done the pation'i
wards. Justice ls what they have
not had hitherto.

MoUGm mEAsUREMENT N THE MRTRIc
sIsTEM.

II has heen assumed that our pres-
ent measures Of length have their pro-
totypes in The dimensions of some parts
of the human body. Thus, it has been
said that the "footn "was undoubtedly
adopted as the standard Of measure
from the part of the body from which
ii takes its name" Let this be grant
cd but what foot ? Careful inquiry
shows that more than one hundred
foot measures, differing in value from
23.22 to s.T5 British inches, have been
in use at some time in some part oil
Europe. IL can hardly be supposed
that all these measures wele taken
from the human foot. IL Is evident
that the name foot has been perpetuat-
cd from very early times but the
thing named has either lost lis original
value, or it has been arbitrarily chang
cd. ln relation to the origin of the
British foot, we know that was derived
from the yard ii is simply one.third
part of that measure.
It is continually asserted that our
foot measure is in length but fraction
in excess of the average human foot,
It ia astounding how such an opinion
ever originated. According TO Docto'
Young, the length Of the human foot II
9.76S British inches. According te
DIR B. A Gould's measurements o.
the feet Of 16, 900 men, volunteers fol
the army, Of whom about ll,OOO were
white and the rest colored, the meat
length for no nationality exceeded 10 "a
inches. and none fell below 9S9 inches
The mean value for the total was 10.
O5s inches. This latter ia much nearei
the quarter Of a meter than ths one
third Off yard. Our foot, slightly
modified, would be eqnal to three dec'
imeters.
The facility of measuring OIL the yar'
on the arta furnishes the objsc.or will
another groand Of objection TO the me
tar. Sir John HerschePa rule Is
