non,t Rida CIo.e Together.

A common cause of accidents to am
ateur riders is their inclination to ride
close together when on separate tie wheels.
II one is behind the other. each natural
ly feels that all 10 we'll so long as the
leader proceeds smoothly. This conf
dence leads to forgetfulness, and II the
head rider has q mishap at least the
two next to him are likely to share the
misfortune because of their close prox-
Unity and the fact that they are not
On their guard. II the leader turns
aside sharply to escape an obstacle
those closely following 1t will be sure
to encounter 1t. They have neither
the time nor the presence of mind to
do otherwise. 1t Is estimated that
quite one-half of the accidents to young
wheelmen are occasioned in this way,
and out of this class bicycle repairers
always coin money. The slightest
thing is liable to dislodge one when
coasting, for at such times q rider has
less perfect control of the machine
than when his feet touch the pedals.

And these are but the beginnings of
the odd Inconsistencies. 1t has been
calculated that there are six different
legal quarts in various parts of Great
Britain. Experts say that In Lanca-
shire, England, there are nearly 30
different bushels. There are 80 20
100 different units Of weights alone
In the United States. the most of
them hardly known outside Of their
own special localities, 1t 10 true. but all

fusion. In actual use to-day IL the
kllderkin. Generally, it Is half barrel
| of ale. Al the United States customs
dlderlin means 10 gallons. It is a
British beer measure of 20 gallons, and
in the measuring of water for ships II
Is calculated at 16 gallons.
The dry barrel is II pecks, the liquid
barrel AZ 1-5 gallons. But mark the
variance in this latter. For wine the
United States measure is 31H gallons
per barrel, the British 26.24 gallons, and
| for various wines this Brisish barrel
measure runs from 30 to SO gallons! For
beer in the United States Tie measure
is 36 gallons 1.-TWO kilderkin by this cal
culation), in England 29.04 gallons. The
COON still exists, the old English meas
ure of four barrels. There is the quar-
tcrn--dry, n quarter of peck; liquid,
quarter of yard The step Is 30
inches. The nailis yet legal. 1t is one
twentieth Of an English ell, about one
sixteenth of yard, approximately, the
distance from the end of the thumb
nail to the joint at the base of the
4 thumb.
Quaint instances of barbaric meas-
ures yet in use may readily be con-
tinued. The pace is 60 inches. There
is the last, ten quarters, in England 80
| bushels, in Russia 11.54 quarters. The
load in both England and America is
calculated at 40 cubic feet of round
timber, SO of hewn or squared timber
! or planks. When it comes to fractions
of weights the avoirdupois, apothe-
| caries and Troy measures show the
same weight Of the grain, the avoir-
dupois the ounce less, but the pound
one-fifth greater, the apothecaries AID
the Troy the ounce and the pound
alike.
Five distinct gallons exist In the
British empire, one of 231 cubic inches,
one of 224, one of 272H. In some Sec
tions of England the old rhyme yet
! runs:

Being curious to know the import of the

and learned that the woman had tagged the

She told the conductor, however, that she

the egg necessary to complete the dozen;
