Mound Builders Unit of Measure.

A remarkably interesting paper on
the " Unit of Measure of the Mound
Builders" has been contributed to the
Cincinnati Society of Natural History
by j. Ralston Skinner. 1t may be pre-
missed that any one going for the first
time through any modern building, and
noting the number and construction of
the various rooms, passages and open
ings. could not fail TO observe that they
were on system under which some
recognized unit of measure prevailed.
Inches and feet as used in Britain could
be easily worked out IN any large Amer
can building as the basis of the system
on which it was constructed. In this
manner a mathematical examination of
the mounds in Ohio has been made, as
well rs of other material from the hands
of the Mound Builders that must have
required accurate measurement TO con-
strmct. There seems to be no doubt
whatever that the British inch and the
British foot, chiefly in the form of a two
foot rule, comprised the unit of measure
employed by the Mound Builders. In
confirmation of these results a stone
measure has been discovered and is now
preserved in the museum of the Cincin-
matt Society. 1t is just possible that
such INIT of measure may have been
worked ont by distinct races of people,
widely separated, and wholly ignorant
perhaps of each others existence. Still
the general consensus would be that
races with such a unit of measure were
very likely to have had common origin
somewhere in the remote past. A very
interesting fact brought out by these in
vestigations is that in addition to the
inch and the two-feet measures they
had one nine inches, which seems TO
have been used for elliptic work. hide

of vertu, the gallows. In this engine
he evinced the greatest interest, and
expressing desire to see how il

his contempt. Hang one of these, he
said, pointing to his suite. Needless
