Julius called 70 his aid Bramante, -le

FINE MEASURING MEDIUM.
Device Of an Englishman Detects
Differences in Lengths That
Cannot Be Seen.

The two hundred and hftieth part Of
an inch IS a millimeter. The two mil
lionth part Of a millimeter is what
Dr. p. z. Shaw, of England. is measur-
ing. The unaided eye cannot perceive
much less than one-tenth Of a MILL
meter. With the help Of a micro
scope the eye can see as little as
$4,000 millimeter. The measuring
medium used for engineering gauges
will detect differences Of $4,000 MILL
meter. BY using interference bands
Of light we can perceive movements Of
100000 millimeter. In the optical
leved a beam Of light falls on a piv-
uted mirror; If a body push the mir
ror at a point near the axis Of the
nivot the beam is DETECTED by a large
angle. BY this means a movement Of
the body by 100000 millimeter may
be detected. The most modern and
sensitive method IS by the electric
micrometer. DR.. Shaws invention wa7
first produced in 1900, and has now
been improved so that it can measure
less than 100000. It is not con-
trolled by the hand. but worked with
q pulley cord Of rubber, which passes
from a band around a pulley TO the
screw. This is done to avoid the
comparatively rough touch and the
tromor Of the hand. Many precautions
REGARDING size. shape. cleanliness must

Boxing was deader than any doorknob
and it looks as If it might stay 50 some
time yet
Don't let anyone hand you that old
brutality gag. II was crookedness and
bunco that did IT, There's nothing
brutal In a good boxing match.
The men with red blood want to see
&c. and like TO see it, and it gives them
q healthy desire to so and do some
muscle building on their own account,
and maybe I'm going to shock a few
Thin skinned folks right here, but III
stand FOR that; women like to see
trials Of strength, too. and they would
patronize it If it wasn't considered too
coarse for their delicate minds.
AS far as l know the average woman
Of normal tendencies has a high re-
gard for strength in the male animal;
whether it's mental strength, bodily
strength or moral strength. and from
all down history's pages, women have
witnessed such exhibitions as have
been held in public. Am wrong,
ladies'? l don't think so.
a man might go back to the grand
old game of fox hunting. and everyone
would agree that it was a great game
"a little tough on the fox, but SOS the
aDat,oir tough on the hog: and then
y0u put the fox hunting business on
crooked commercial basis and see
how long it would last. Just see how
hard it IS 10 this day to keep amateur
sport clean. Every now and then
there's a howl that something's wrong
about it. but it IS kept pretty clean.
You let the professional lads get to
running q good clean sport for what
there's in 10, and see where that sport
lands; down in the gutter. where
they've put pugilism to-day, and
through no fault Of the game nor the
men doing IT, It's the crooks every
time.
Its just as dishonest to play crooked
games with sport as it is 10 pick pock-
e.s. and the pickpOckets got to wor@
in a good many states. and finally
worked themselves out Of a good easy
thing. ! guess IT'S the old story Of the
golden goose. for l see a whole lot Of
them at work nowadays where they
ought TO have Deen years ago. If
some of these good re1ormers would
just look at the cold. clear facts in the
case and try 90 understand the aver
age human temperament. there would
be less talk about the brutality Of prize
fighting.
Some Of these peopie howl that it's
only done for The money that's in it.
Wen. maybe so. but I want to ask
those folks just how many baseball
Games. how many football games, how
many horse races there would be if
was a free for ALL and I'd also like to
find out just how many Of the reform
trs would go on reforming If there
wasn't something in it for them. It's
O. fair question. and If anyone has a
fair answer / d like to hear II. I'm
willing to listen to reason, and claim

business. and all brands Of it. l ought

from some of those high and mighty
gentlemen who managed to put a

ferent kinds of knots.
