Tho Metal OF tho Standards That Arc
In Uso Today.
There are no products of human skill
on which greater degree of care ia
expended than the standards of weight
and measure In use among the civil
liked nations OF the globe. Two things
In particular have TO be considered,
accuracy and durability Nature does
not furnish any single metal or min
eral which exactly answers the re-
Quirements for standard of measure
possible unalterablc.
The best substance yet produced for
this purpose is an alloy of 90 per cent
of platinum with 10 per cent of iridi-
um. This Is called Irldlo platinum and
Is the substance of which the metric
standards prepared by the information
nj committee on weights and measures
is composed. It Is hard. Is less affected
by heat than any pure metal, is prac-
tically nonoxidizable and can be finely
engraved. In fact, the lines ON the

IL our civilization should ever be lost
and relics of It should be discovered in

there is nothing that would bear high
err testimony to It's character than these
standard measures of iridio platinum,
for the protection and preservation of
which the science of this day has done
Its very best.-St. Louis Republic.

New York. Nov 30.-The proposition to
offer an international cup for foreign
competition under the present rules of
measurement for any sized yacht that
cared TO challenge will be decided by the
Brooklyn Yacht Club at It's annual meet
ing set for December II at the Hotel
Marlborough. The idea meets with gen
eral favor within the club. and there is
little doubt that it will be adopted. The
suggestion grows out Of the refusal of
the New York Yacht Club TO ACCEPT the
challenge of Sir Thomas Upton, and the
cup is intended to take the place OF

NEW RULES FOR SKATERS.
Sport to BE Put on Firmer Basis
Than Heretofore.

New York, Nov. 30.-At a meeting of
the Eastern Amateur Skating Associa-
ton, held in the Office OF ]. G. Hemment
last night, the sport OF skating, both
roller and ice, was put ON a firmer basis
than ever before. Sanctions were granted
for several important race meetings dur
ing the winter.
Among the rules adopted was one re-
quiring that all contestants in amateur
skating races be registered. and another,
which will in future abolish all post en-
tries. The latter should do away with
the usual unfairness of post-time hand
icapping. and at the same time assure the
eligibility of each contestant.
President Slayback, of the International
Skating Union. was present, and when
asked about the reported alliance with
the Amateur Athletic Union. remarked
that he had heard that officers Of the two
unions had had several informal talks,
but that as yet the Amateur Athletic
Union had made no official advance. Mr..
Slayback intimated, however, that any
oyertuTes would be welcome.

speculation(is rife here regarding the cap

There Is only one objection TO Brides.
