PRESERVING STANDARDS.


The one-hundred-foo rule in Trafal-
gar Square, London. which is the
standard of length for all countries
that use the English system of meas
ures of length. is to be replaced, says
the London Globe. by one better hous-
ed in Westminster Hall. The present
standard. whi,h has been copied in
steel by the government of the United
States. is IL bronze strip inlaid in gran
lite. 1t is liable TO slight inaccuracy
because it is exposed to variations in
the atmosphere. 1t has stood in its
present site since 1876.
The requirements for standard of
this sort are a long, level, dry plot.
protected from wilful damage and
from changes in the air, and yet ac-
cessble to the public in such way
that workers can compare measures
with 1t undisturbed by oilers. West.
minister Hall is said TO be ideal for
the purpose. The new standard viii
be subdivided to the thousandth parl
of an inch.
The greatest care Is used in preserv-
ing the various standards, but none
are more closely guarded than the
British yard and pound. They are
kept immured in the wall of the stair
case leading to the upper waiting
room of the House of Commons. Every
twenty years they are taken out and
inspected.
The platinum pound is then wrapped
in Swedish tiltering paper, placed in a
silver-gllt case, packed in a solid.
square bronze case. and deposited in a
mahogany box, which is secured by
screws and sealed. The gun-metal
yard is placed on eight rollers in Il
mahogany box. and both boxes are
then put in lead case, and the cover
is soldered. This is put in an oak
chest which is screwed tight, and de-
posted in a cavity in the wall. The
aperture is then cemented up, to re-
main closed for twenty years more
In spite of all precautions, the in
spection of 1892 disclosed minute var
iations in both standards, but they are
believed to have been due to slight in
accuracies In the computations in 1872.
