some extent in the mint, United States
signal service and United States census
department.
The formal adoption of the metric
system has been repeatedly recommend
ed to congress by several secretaries of
the treasury and of state; it has been
, asked for by the legislatures of several
states, and many petitions from both
business and scientific men have been
presented to congress asking for the
passage of such a law.
In 1883 this country invited the'repub-
lies of Central and South America and
of Mexico, Hayti and San Domingo to
a conference to be held at Washington
to consider, among other things, ''the
adoption of uniform system of
weights and measures" The confer
ence was held and it adopted so far as
lay in its power, "a uniform system of
weights and measures" the metric sys-
tenn. The delegates from the foreign
republics went home and almost with
out an exception procured the adoption
of the metric system by the countries
from which they came. Now they find
that the greatest nation of ALL which
originally invited them to the confer
ence, has so far failed to adopt its own
suggestion.
The objection always made to the
adoption of the metric system, and
which has heretofore been strong
enough to prevent it's adoption by con-
gress, is the fact that a change from
yards to metres and from pounds to
srammes would upset business and
throw the world of commerce into con-
fusion. To this argument the advo-
Gates of the metric system file partial
assent. They admit that 1t would cause
considerable inconvenience, but say
that the amount of disturbance which
would be caused has been greatly over
estimated. In proof they point to the
experience of other nations which have
adopted the metric system without seri-
ously incnmmoding business men, Their
chief argument in favor Of the adop-
ton of the system lies in the great ben
eft and saving in study and time which
would result to the generations to come
after the metric system is once put into
force.
BY way of preparing for a possible
change in the future school children
are instructed in the metric system in
many schools, so that they may be ia
miliar with it's terms. In some states,
notably Utah, thorough instruction in
the metric system is made compulsory.
In England also the Importance of the
subject has been recognized in the same
way. The English government furnish
es to the schools on demand accurate
copies Of Its standards Of metric meas
urement and weight and encourages In
every way the study of the system. It's
general adoption all over the world
seems to be only matter of time.
The necessity of having some gener-
ally recognized standard Of weight and
is more easily recognized
when it is remembered that in ancient
times many of the standards were bas-
ed on nothing more certain and I'M
than the length of mans
forearm or the distance he could reach
Thus q cubit was the distance from the
point of the elbow to the tip of the mid
die finger; the fathom was the distance
a man could cover with outstretched
arm; the original foot was the distance
from the heel to the end of the great

THE ELEPHANT NOW GOES UP.
Climbs Four Flights of Stars After
Eteadying His Nerves With a Gallon
of Whiskey.

| Climbs Four Flights of Stars After
Eteadying His Nerves With a Gallon
of Whiskey.
Waving it's trunk from side to side
and twitching its tail nervously, an
Asiatic elephant climbed four flights of
marble stairs yesterday at the Chicago
Athletic clubhouse. The.animal's little
eyes shifted uneasily as it's great feet
were lifted to every third step and there
planted firmly. There was not slip.
The elephant moved upward, frightened,
but unprotesting.
The great quadruped ambled leisurely
down Michigan avenue from Lincoln
park in care of Keeper C. MeCurren
early in the afternoon. 1t had been pre-
pared for the ordeal by a gallon of
whislSey and an equal amount of mo-
lasses. This apparently put the beast
at peace with the world as it gave the
keepers no trouble on the way to the
clubhouse.
Preparations already had been made
for the pachyderm's repection. The
stairs had been tested and measured.
Barney" for that is the elephants
name, was too heavy to be taken up in
the elevator, having weighed $500
pounds Just before the start. The an
nouncement that the elephant would be
installed for the club circus had at
tracted a large number Of the club
members, who doubted the beasts dis
position to climb to it's station on the
fourth floor
The front doors were opened and the
elephant moved through as if it were
in the habit Of entering great club
houses. The beast, which is only eight
years old, evidently was apprehensive
of the sharp hook carried by Tom Pow
ers, the keeper who led it. While
dozen employees about the club placed
heavy two-inch boards over each step
Barney stood at the bottom lazily
swinging its trunk.
Once the stairs were in readiness,
Powers gave the iron hook a tug and
the elephant began the ascent of the
first flight of stairs Three steps at
time were taken The boards moved on
the stairs, but did not slip, and the ele-
phant soon was waiting the shifting of
the boards to the second FIGHT. AS it
stood in the center Of the main recep-
ton room of the clubhouse the great
beast looked strangely out of place, but
not so much so as when waiting for an
other transfer of the boards it half fill
ed the woman's reception room on the
third floor
When the last flight had been trav-
ersed the elephant mover across the
smooth floor of the gymnasium to the
heavy post to which If was to be chain
ed until after the circus. A great iron
chain was placed around one of the
beasts feet and soon it was securely
anchored to prevent escape during the
hours it will occupy a place
in the ub-house.-Chicago Tribune.

SOME QUEER OLD MODELS.
Prototypes Of Successful Devices That

| Prototypes of Successful Devices That
Are to be Seen in the Patent Office.
! On the shelves at the patent office are
scores of@modest models Of inventions
the world could not well do without. A
visit to this great market house for
ideas impresses one with the knowledge
that the model Is no indication of the
value of the invention, The patent Of
flee is filled with hundreds of finely
formed and carefully finished models of
inventions that have not brought the
inventor enough return even to pay for
the expense of preparing the model.
The greatest inventions have been but
the crude beginning of some idea sub
sequently perfected. The models seem
to artake of the same crudity. As the
primary idea has been perfected other
models have been submitted in elabora-
ton, and the steps in the perfecting of
some radical innovation are contempo-
raneously expressed the models fled
with the patent office. Though the rule
is not without exceptions, the greatest
inventions were first protected by mod
els of such crudty as to be scarcely
recognizable as forerunners of the fin
ished articles of to-day
Take the telephone, for instance. In
the patent office are two cones of wood
with membranous ends and confusing
tangle of metal and wire. Each of the
cones could be hidden in ones hand.
Yet they are the beginning of an idea
that has been perfected to the elaborate
instrument of to-day, out of which mil
lions have been made and by the use of
which continents are bridged.
No one at first glance would associate
these insignificant bits of wood and
metal with the telephone of to-day. AS
a matter Of fact, the inventor himself
did not one day some photographs of
the original telephone instrument were
shown to Alexander Graham Bell, the
inventor of the telephone, and he was
asked some questions concerning the in
strument.
II don't know what this is" said
Mr.. Bell. Il have never seen this in
strument"
1t was explained that the pictures
We're an accurate representation of the
models of his first telephone, the crude
idea ON which he had built his fame and
fortune Aided by this explanation, Mr..
Bell recalled the principles of his first
model. But association with the per-
fected instrument of to-day had so
blurred recollection of the crude model
by which he first protected his inven-
ton that the memory had for the mo-
ment been obliterated. Mr.. Bell mani
Tested great interest in the mods, and
said he would take the first opportunity

settled at the same time. These bets
consist of money, blankets, horses
guns, cows, harness and everything the
bettors possess, even to the clothing on
their backs.
Occasionally the gaming becomes
very noisy and the tribes endeavor TIC
cheer their respective tribal players and
help their own bets toward winning by
shouts and yells and deep cultural
songs. Fancy what a noise would be
made by lot of excited Indians yelling
such stanza as this:
Hey-yo, ho-ho!
Hey -yo, ho-ho, ho-ho!
Ayee, ho-ho, ayee, ayee!
Mingi, mingi, Pachango!
All, oh, a-a-a,
Ho-yah, Wah-Who!
Pachango!
The whole assemblage of redskins
takes up this yell, and continues it
over and over. keeping time with their
clapping hands and swaying bodies.
The dealers, who are meanwhile silent
ly playing the game of sing gamble for
their respective tribal bettors, also keep
time by their movements with their
handful Of shavings and then ostenta-
tiously counts out eight wooden chips
and one black one, nine in all. Then he
clicks them several times and quickly
covers them with 9havings. Then he
separates the chips and shavings and
shows two piles of white chips.
In a twinkling he makes passes with
his hands, holding the two piles Of
chips above his head, under his blouse
and about his body so fast that three
eardmonte sharpe would wonder at his
dexterity. The chanting suddenly
ceases and every eye is turned upon the
dealers, who are performing all manner
of rapid passes to deceive the eyes of
the bettors at the opposite tribe. When
the bets have been made the dealers
suddenly cease their passes and gyra-
tons, and by a dextrous movement
throw the chips and shavings from one
hand upon the mat. If the black chip
is there one point sas been scored by
the tribe that bet it was there. If it is
in the other hand the tribe has lost
point to it's opponents.
AS the game progresses the hackers
of the players, who are all intensely, al
most insanely, interested in the out
come, because of having staked their
worldly wealth upon it, encourage them
and assist them in every way possible
The squaWs are as interested as their
lords. They arrange themselves in line
on either side of the players and occa-
break into monotonous chants
Or indulge in the peculiar movements
that pass for dancing among the Amer
lean aborigines. All night long this is
kept up without intermission, the Indi-
ans apparently being incapable of ia
tigue.
To the spectator the game is most mo-
but never so to those who
have so deep an interest in the outcome
of the play. In former days, when
tribes came together to the number of
hundreds and even thousands on each
side, when such forms of wealth as
have been introduced by whites were
unknown to them and they had only
their native articles to wager when
they were dressed in their native cos
tunes, the scene must have been far
more wild and picturesque. Now the
men wear wooden shirts and overalls
and the women are arrayed in sloven-
" calico dresses, with shawls over their
shoulders and colored handkerchiefs
