Light Waves snd the Wonderfully 40
cursfe lnterferometer.
At the bureau of weights and meas
ures at Sevrrs. France. the standard
meter of natal. which as the standard
length of The world, is kept carefully
in an underground vault and is in
spected only at long intervals. In
Great Britain similar care is exercised
In guarding the standard yard meas
urement. AS it was possible for these
metal standards to be destroyed or
| damaged in the course Of time, It was
decided number OF years ago to de-
termine the exact length of the stand
ards in wave lengths of light, which
would be basis of value unalterable
and indestructible. For this purpose
the instrument known as the inter.
ferometer was invented. This instru-
ment represented the highest order of
workmanship and the greatest skill of
the best opticians of the world. A
series of refracting plates were made,
the surfaces of which were fat with
in one-twentieth Of a wave length of
light, with sides parallel within one
second, representing the utmost refine
ment of optical surfaces ever at
tempted.
With the interferometer perfected,
the attempt was made to make the
wave length Of some definite light an
actual and practical standard of length.
For over a year scientists worked to
secure this result, and experiments
finally showed that there were 1853
1641A wave lengths of red cadmium
light in the French standard meter at
Is degrees centigrade. So great is the
accuracy of these experiments that
they can be repeated within one part
In two millions. So inconceivably
small is such possibility Of error that
should the material standard of length
be damaged or destroyed the standard
wave length of light would remain I'M
altered as a basis from which an ex-
act duplicate of the original standard
could be made.-Chicago Record-Her-

Some colored drawings of the coast
of various West Indian islands are
in the Biblotheque Rationale in Paris.
The fact that makes the drawings of
special value is that they were done
from the deck of Sir Francis brakes
ship under his supervision during his
last voyage. There is a mournful note
on the margin of a drawing of Puerto
Bello, off which brakes flagship De
tiance was lying:

How Guns Are Named.
What They Will Do for You

Many people are puzzled as to the
difference between a II inch and a 1876
inch gun. Guns are measured by the
bore or caliber, just as motorcar en-
CINE cylinders are. A IL inch gun,
therefore, is a gun that fires a shot
which is twelve inches in diameter.
The length of gun is reckoned in
calibers For instance, so caliber IL
inch gun is one fifty times the length
of its bore-that is to say, fifty feet
long. A 80 caliber six inch gun would
be twenty-five feet long, and so on

KILLING THE UMPIRE.
10 Is an Essential Part of the Great
Game of Baseball.

Game of Baseball.
According to bleacher law. there are
three particularly justifable motives
for doing away with umpires. An
umpire may be killeG-first If he sees
fit to adhere to the rules and make a
decision against the home team at a
close point in the game; second, an
umpire may be killed If he sends q
member Of the home team to the bench
when the player in question has done
absolutely nothing but call the umpire
names and attempt to bite his ear off
ian umpire has no business to be
touchy); third (and this is a perfect
defense against the charge of murder),
an umpire may be killed If he calls
any batter on the home team out on
strikes when the player has not even
struck at the balls pitched. That the
balls go straight over the plate has
nothing to do with the case.
There is ample proof at hand to
show that killing the umpire is a dis
tinctiVely American sport. Other coun-
tries have tried baseball, but they have
not tried killing the umpire. That is
probably the reason why they have
not waxed enthusiastic over baseball,
for baseball without umpire killing is
like football without girls in the grand
stand. 1t simply can't be done. That
foreign countries know nothing about
our king Of outdoor sports was indl-
Gated forcibly when In the fall of 1909
the Detroit team made trip to Cuba
under the management Of Outfelder
Mcintyre. In the entire series of
twelve games with the Havana and
Almendares mines not one single OBJ
lection was made by either the Cuban
players or the silent Cuban spectators
to a decision of the umpires. The
Americans did not know what to think
of it-until they counted up the gate
receipts at the end of the series. Then
they realized that in their own country
it is the delight in killing the umpire
rather than the pleasure in watching
the game that draws the tremendous
crowds through the turnstiles.--George
lean Nathan in Harper's Weekly.

The Elizabethan era gave vogue to
the button and buttonhole. two inven-
lions which may fairly be regarded as
important, since they did much to
revolutionize dress. The original but
ton was wholly a product of needle
work, which was soon improved by the
use of wooden mold. The brass but
ton is said to have been introduced by
a Birmingham merchant in 1850. 1t
took 200 years to improve on the meth.
cd of sewing the cloth upon the cover
ed button. Then an ingenious Dane
hit upon the idea of making the but
ton in two parts and clamping them
together with the cloth between.
