A New standard Of Length.

Scientists have long sought for fixed
and invariable standard Of length. The
measures in common use are mere arbl-
trary lengths, and, Il the original stand
ards should be destroyed, could not be ac-
curately replaced. The French meter is
supposed 10 be a ten.millionth part OF the
quadrant OF the earth, but the accuracy
Of the original measurements has been
seriously called in question. The SO called
wave lengths of light have been suggested
as furnishing an invariable numerical
magnitude, but their excessive minute
ness and the difficulty Of accurately meas.
uring them have heretofore been an in
superable objection TO their use.
Messrs. Nicholson and Morley have now
devised a method Of meas uring these
wave lengths, which they claim il prob
ably accurate to one ten-millionth part.
When 1t is considered that wave length
Of sodium yellow light is only about one
forty thousandth Of an inch, the delicacy
OF this method becomes apparent. What
ever theory may be held as to the nature
Of light, the numerical values called. for
convenience ''waye lengths are actual
and invariable magnitudes OF something;
and, II the new method of measurement
proves reliable, there will be no difficulty
In obtaining a fixed standard Of length
which can he reproduced at any time or
place. Science News.

Tho Decline Of tho Sailor.

Rather severe criticisms on our navy
arc appearing in the English journals
Tho critics admit We have as good naval
officers as any, but say that what ships
we have are manned by Englishmen,
Irishnen, Germans, Scandinavians and
negroes. This Is true in time Of peace;
for first rate American sailor men can
make more than $21. 90 month ashore
But once the signal Of war comes, and the
promise Of prize money and adventure,
and there would be little room for much
OF the poor material now manning the
yards. The great fleet that Farragut led
past the Mississippi forts was manned
with Gloucester fishermen--mcn who, un-
like the average blue jacket, combine n
keen intelligence with strength and dar-
ing
The day Of the "square rigger" Is gone
by, for the modern war ship has no sails,
and quick hand at the gun sight and
block, tackle aud gearing is more in de-
mand than one that can hand, reef, and
steer. Indeed, 1t is o curious study to
watch how, in the war ship Of today, the
sailor is declining and the engineer and
machinist advancing. Perhaps in the
future the crew Of u war ship will be com
posed OF three classes only-scientists, en-,
gineers and coal beavers or oil feeders
