Fiftieth Anniversary of B1oomer Costume
Exactly half a century has passed
since Mrs. BlOomer immortalized her
self by suggesting that skirts be dis
carded in favor of a more rational
style of dress. and now some of her
warm admirers in England and Ger
many are saying that this notable
event in modern history ought to be
commemorated in some fitting man.
ner. With the object of interesting the
public, they are telling all they know
about this remarkable woman, and
have published portrait of her, the
original of which appeared in The Lily,
monthly magazine, which was edi-
ted by Mrs. Boomer.
1t was early in 1851 that the number
of the magazine containing the por-
trait appeared, and Mrs. Bloomer, who
was then living at Seneca Falls, ny Y,
was at once recognized as the cham
pion of movement in favor of dress
reform. The portrait Of herself in her
singular costume, of course, did much
to bring her into public notice, and,
Furthermore, she took care to publish
in her magazine articles by physi-
clans, showing that the style of dress
advocated by her was far more n.y.

many, France and England-which
have standardizing bureaus-for these
corrections.
1t will be difficult 10 realize the
amount of care which will be taken
with these standards installed in the
new bureau. To properly shelter them
from the many disturbing influences
which have little effect upon ordinary
instruments the new building will cost
half as much again as would usual
structure of the same size. Professor
S. w. Stratton is the new director of
the bureau. The laboratory, as the
main building will be known, will be
situated In an open space so large that
no other building can be erected within
a quarter of mile of it, 1t will be
far enough from the city to be out of
reach of the vibrations caused by cleo
trio cars and heavy wagons. Many of
the walls will be double, to prevent
penetration of hot or cold air and con-
sequent fuctuation of interior temper
allure.
Compressed air and vacuum pipes
will extend throughout the building,
as will several systems of electric
wires. There will be double windows
capable of flooding the rooms with
light, also light-proof shutters, max
ing them absolutely dark. There will
be f1re-proof vaults for the storing of
the standards. A separate building,
a thousand yards or more away, will
install the engines, dynamos and other
heavy machinery essential to the work.
AS a whole, the institution will be a
modern temple of science, of which
the country may be justly proud
The bureau win also establish a
standard electric cell. measuring stand
ard volts; indeed. electric standards of
many kinds. Although applications of
electricity represent rapidly growing
business with investments of $1,000
100000, there are in this country no
facilities for testing meters and other
instruments used in electric measure
ments.
A standard thermometer will be an
other of the many instruments to be
stored in this bureau. With this will
be compared for correction the mill
ions of thermometers used by physi-
clans and surgeons. by scientific labor
atories and the great industrial estab-
lishments.
For long time Uncle Sam has had
an office of weights and measures for
giving out. mostly to it's scientists,
standards of weights. measures and
capacities which have been adopted
for convenience, but not by law. 1t
has always been part of the coast
and gcodetic survey. but isnow merged
Into the new bureau of standards.
What is practically our standANd for
measuring length at the present time
Is TO be found here. This Is known as
tho STANDARD n.etrr." a bar Of metal,

Learn how to tell a story. A we'll

Learn to keep your own troubles to

The world is too busy to care for
your ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop croaking. If you can
not see any good in the world keep
the bad to yourself.
