The Yard an Arbitrary Measure,

The yard is an arbitrary measure.
Its use as measuring standard goes
so far back that it is not exactly
known now or where it first became
standard of measurement. The
metr!oal system, however. is based up.
llonth part of the quadrant OF the
earth. measured on meridian. This
system was adopted by the French
convention in l795. The National In.
stitute of France ordered new and
actual measure of the whole are of
the meridian which extended the en-.
tire length OF France from Dunklrh
ON the north to Barcelona in Spain.
This meridian passed through Paris.
AS this measurement was to deter.
mine the exact length OF the meter, the
labor of measuring this are was in.
trusted to two of the most eminent en-.
glneers in France at that time. They
used rods of platinum twelve feet in
length, for measuring the bases. and
the precision with which the angles
were observed was such that when The
length of the meter, which was TO be
onc-ten millionth of the length of the
quadrant. was finally determined, the
error was so small as to amount to but
one-two hundred and eighth OF an inch
to the meter. The meter Is equal to

was entirely new to him. Considering
1t mere incumbrance 1t was thrown
overheard, but the catch was reported
and aroused great interest among ma

was offered TO the fishermen TO fish 1t
up again, which they tried to do with.
out success. The fish was a veritable
young sea serpent, and II such a fish
attained the length OF fifty feet 1t
would well compare with the accounts
of sea serpents which are reported SO
often. Since this occurrence several
eel-like sharks have been taken; long
serpentine-like creatures that when
large must be the sea serpents of the
deep sea. and have convinced 0bserv-
ers that the tales which have aroused
the credullty Of people are not without
foundation. and that this mysterious
