Reflnements of Measurements.

Refinements of measurements have gone
to almost incredible limits. On lenses
curvature Of one one-hundred- and fifty
thousandth Of an inch can be measured.
In spectroscopic analysis of mere traces Of
different elements fractional wave lengths
are read to one two thousand five hundred
millionth of an inch. Professor Dewar.
in his researches on liquid air, attained a
vacuum of one two-t thousand five hundred
millionth Of an atmosphere by filing a
vessel with n,ercurial vapor and exposing
it to a very low temperature, and Professor
Boys, with the simplest possible arrange
ment of quartz fiber, torsional balance and
mirror, claims to have been able to Just
d tect an attractive force of the one twen-
ty-thousa4d millionth of a grain. So
much for 1he minute weights and meas
ures, and, as regards angles, the Darwin,
pendulum Will indicate a movement of one
three-hundredth of a second, which would
be about the angular measurement of e
penny piece at IA distance of / 900 miles.
1t is difficult to realize the minpteness OF
measurements like the preceding. The
smallest gold coin of the realm, II drawn
out into wire one two hundred and fifty
millionth of an inch in diameter, would
be long enough to stretch to the sun and
back again 10, 600 times, and yet the fun
damental mystery of the constitution of
atoms and molecules would be locked I'D
in every ininitesimal portion of the length
of that minute wire.-Engineering Me

Lady Henry Somerset, it will be re-
undertook few months ago,
to reform the worst female drunkard in
all England, ~0ne Jane Cakebread, though
for that matter there could scarcely be
two Of that name and fams. Jane was
removed to Lady Henry's country home
where there was no possibility that she
could get at strong drink. The result
was that the poor besotted creature e
mind gave way under the strain and she
went stark, staring mad, kicking up such
rumpus that Lady Henry had to have
the woman taken to mad house. Then
the Pail Mall Gazette, which by the way
is owned by an expatriated son of the
Aston family, was ungallant enough to
remark that James madness was probably
due to her association with Lady Henry.
That good woman demanded an apology
through her lawyers. The apology was
denied and now $3.50 lawsuit has
been begun. and money enough to have
kept poor Jane Cakebread in some good
hospital under medical treatment had II
been applied to her case, will be spent In
court to the amusement rather than the
edification of the public

President Cleveland is said to contem-
plate sending either commission or n
paramount commissioner to Cuba FOR the
purpose of ascertainng the facts. ! t is
to be hoped that ne will send commits
sion composed of more than one man.
The work done by Blount in Hawaii was
a national disgrace. Should the Presl-
dent decide to act toward Cuba in the
same way that he did toward Hawaii the
report could be easily foretold. As is we'll
known, Cleveland has no more sympathy
with the Cuban insurgents than he had
with the people who threw off the corrupt
harbarism that dominated the Sandwich
Islands, nor is there any more reason to
believe that he would be actuated by
sense of justice and deeency in dealing
of these clements entered into his dealings
with the struggling republic in the
Pacific, and should the President send one
man to act as his private detective in
Cuba it would not be surprising to have
him return with Il report to the effect that
the Spaniards are conducting the most
humane warfare imaginable against
band of cut-throats The fact that Gen
Campos has already declared that the In,
surgents are humane in dealing with
prisoners would have no consideration
with paramount commissioner acting
under such directions and limitations as
did MIR. Blount If any commission is
sent to Cuba we hope 1t will be composed
Of more than one man. We don't believe
1t possible to secure three men of Blount's
calibre for such mission. But will Gen.
Weyler permit such a commission to pass
outside the Spanish lines? He has refused
such permission to newspaper correspon-
dents. And If the commission confined
its Investigations within the immediate
precincts Of Havana what would its find
ings be worth?

they attempt to perpetrate the atrocities
that characterized the last Cuban rebel
lion and bid fair under Weyler's manage
Inent to characterize this. The American
sentiment revolts at the thought OF q
second Armenia at our very doors and this
sentiment is so strong that Congress and
the President will scarcely refuse to heed
1t in some degree. The people Of this
country, believe, and there is nothing in
Spanish protestations to dispel the belief,
that Gen. Weyler was sent to Cuba to in
augurate wholesale butchery, anything
in fact that should bring tho rebellion to
an end even If in so doing che insurgents
and their sylnpathizers should be cxter-
or tortGred into submission.

The London Chronicle says the com
mittee to compile the Venezuelan blue
book, worked twelve hours daily. Con-
sidcring that this book declares Eng
lands claims in the disputed territory to
have been clearly established since 1896
and that her case is as clear as on-day
and completely overwhelming; also when
it is considered that England has
acted in many devious ways respecting
this disputed territory, the question
naturally arises at to what this
committee was engaged in doing. II the
facts have been so apparent for the past
100 years surely there was not need of
working twelve hours daily for the past
three months in order to demonstrate their
wonderful simplicity; but if the purpose
was to reconcile the different assumption
of England respecting the territory with
the present assumption that the English
claim Is plain and simple, it is not sur
prisiDg that the committee was obliged to
work continuously for twelve hours day.
If the committee has reconciled all these
differences in the time employed it's skill
as well as assiduity is something re-
markable
