STANDARDS OF LENGTH.
The English Yard and the French
feter-WbIch is the Better.

In the United States and England the
standard of length is the yard. and the
question arises; How long is the yard?
1t may be said in answer that yard is
simply an arbitrary standard which ira
dition says is based upon the length OF
the arm Of Henry VIII. At present the
yard is the distance between two marks
upon certain bar. kept in the Tower
OF London, and if it should be destroyed
the exact standard could never be re-
placed. To avoid this uncertainty, and
obtain fixed aud unvarying standard, !,
the French, in the last century made an
accurate measurement OF quadrant of
the earth's circumference, and taking the
ten-millionth part OF this distance, gave
it the name of meter, and adopted it as
the standard of length. This length. which
is equal to about 9.37 inches, is now Ia
universal use on the continent OF Europe,
and is authorized as legal standard in
nearly all civilized countries. Con
siderable discussion has arisen as to
whether the original measurement was
perfectly accurate, and it seems probable
that there was a small error, 80 that if
the standard meter now kept 10 Paris
should be destroyed, q remessurement
of the quadrant of the earth would not
give us exactly the same meter. How
ever, the error in any case is very
minute one, snd the chances are very
small that the original standard will ever
be destroyed, to say nothing OF the
fact that the numerous copies distributed
among the various nations of the world
do not sppreciably differ from it.-Pop-

4 more agreeable journey through diversi-
fled and attractive scenery than that which
can be made 10y one of two daily vestibuled
fast trains of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
between Chicago and Washington, Balti-
more, Philadelphia and New York would be
hard to find. The Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road of to-day is a vastly different institn-
ton from that which ii was few years aIo .
The antiquated locomotives and cars which
then constituted its equipment have given
place TO rolling stock ofthe latest and best
patterns and the through trains. vestibuled
from engine to rear sleeper and including
dining cars and Pullman cars of the most
modern and luxurious character, com
pare fayorably with those of any in the
world. The sleeping ears especially built
for these trains few months ago, havesome
admirable Improvements. The elegant sim
plicity Of the interior decorations is in very
marked contrast to the louder ornamental
lion which not long ago was considered the
height of art in such places. The wood is
of mahogany, with little carved or raised
work, but brought down to the highest
finish, carefully selected for fine grain and
texture, and showing highly artistic cabinet
work which the eye does not tire of admir-
ing.
The improvement inthe locomotive equip
ment is equally remarkable In order to
climb the Aleghenies, from whose heights
the passenger enjoys views Of sublimity and
beauty which he never forgets heavy grades
and numerous curves were necessary in con-
structing the road and until recently II re
quired the help Of extra engines to get a train

q tons, having six coupled drivers and CYL
inders 3lx26 inches in size, and this power
ful machine takes the heavy train up the
long stretches ofgrades, reaching as high as
lis feet to the mile at a lively pace. The
daylight ride over the mountains, especially
in the time of verdure, shows a wonderfully
attractive panorama in which grandeur and
beauty are constantly mingled, and indeed
the entire journey between Washington and
Chicago proves the propriety of calling this
road Picturesque b. & Ral,eay Age.

curve. The result was general smash-up
Of several cars and the engine. -Four men
wore in the caboose Of the broken train, all
asleep. and not aware Of the terrible danger
they were in.
All four were severely injured, and one Of
tbem. Joe Martin, died Saturday from his
Injuries. The engineer and fireman Of the
second section saw the approaching cars in
lime 10 Jump, and escaped with slight in
iuries. but Albert Little brakeman who
yas on the engine, was buried under the
machinery and burned to death. William
Kiser. nagman, was severely injured by
hsina burned by The escaping steam.
The accident was the fault Of the men in
,bo caboose Of the first section. Ifthey had
hon awake they could have stopped the
