and its sides may serve the same pur-
pose as the original base-line. BY this
system. which Is called triangulation,
the measurement is carried on TO any
desired extent, being checked here and
there by the actual laying down OF new
base-lines, the length Of which have
been previously determined in the course
OF the surveys.
The Oldest trlangIlation OF which his
tory tells US was made in Holland be-
fore 1917, but the work of precision may
be said TO have begun when a French
savant named Picard In 1866, replaced
the sights previously employed with sur
veying instruments by a telescope that
was fitted with cross wires. This great
" enlarged the possible extent OF the
triangle Picard himself measured a
small arc of meridian. practically being
the first person to give precise idea
of the formation of the earth.
Our present knowledge, however, dates
from 1850 when the savants or France
took the matter up, and through them
the longest arc up to date was surveyed.
They by no means carried out the task,
but their influence and example brought
about the action taken by others, and
the present arc is the result.
The probabilities are that the carry
ing out of the latest plan VIII not take
nearly n century and half. The knowl-
edge which is already ours will accele-
rate action I'm so great degree that mil
lions OF persons who are living to-day
are likely to see the completion or the
arc of 1O5 degrees. 1t will take many
years to accomplish the task. but its inn
portance cannot be overestimated.

The meeting Of commandants of COM
panies of the First Regiment, which was
TO have been held in Armory head
quarters last night, 10 take final action
in regard to the proposed new uniform for
the regiment. was postponed until next
Saturday night, on account of the alb
sence of two captains.
There seems 10 be no doubt but that
the action of the officers meeting, held
n few weeks ago. at which resolutions
were adopted selecting the style and color
Of the uniform. and modifying certain
estimates that were submitted Will be
ratified by this meeting. in which event
the regiment will be equipped with the
new uniforms by the autumn.
The matter has been hanging fire for
n very long time. and its settlement has
met with unanimous approval. One OF
the effects has been that recruits have
been pouring in and the regiment is
now almost at It's full strength. The APP
nropriation is not sufficient to take care
~ more than 400 men. and that figure has
almost been reached.

"The Pioneer mine, at Ely, has been
closed down and a force has been busy
the past few days in taking up the
pumps and preparing for a general
shut down of unknown duration. The
Pioneer was practically the main-stay
of Ely and as the town was looked
upon as the banner town north of Du-
luth it will lag into quietude unless
something Unprecedented turns up.
The closing was a result of disagree
ment between the lessee ard fee hold
ers. "-Hibbing News.
While the Pioneer was one the stays
which helped the town and kept it on
its feet, the Chandler has held the
belt as main-stay for many years and
continues to wear it undisputed.
Ely is yet the banner town and al
though we have suffered a heavy loss
by the closing of che Pioneer, few
have lost hope of the ultimate out

shoulder to the wheel to keep Ely the
