MEASURES OF length.

lioht Waves and tho Wonderfully Ae'
curste interferometer.
At the bureau of weights and meas
ures ut Sevrcs. France. the standard
meter Of metal, which IS the standard
length of the world, is kept carefully
in IN 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 a number Of years ago to de-
termine the exact length Of the stand
ards in wave lengths of light. which
would be q basis Of value unalterable
and indestructible. For this purpose
the instrument known as the inter-
fer0meter 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 flat with
in One-twentieth Of a wave length or
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 1861
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 a possibility Of error that
should the material standard Of length
be damaged or destroyed the standard
wave length Of light would remain un.
altered as basis from which an ex-
act duplicate Of the original standard
could be made-Chicago Record-Her-

Of newspapers have called Afternoon
to the situation which is to be dealt
with at the coming election and urg'

rho nurpose of this organization Is
merely to give the voters of this state
MS best the lawyers may. an express
sion of opinion on the qualifications OF
the candidates and thus afford them
q. opportunity to vote knowingly at
tho coming election. Nobody has
anv wish or purpose to dictate. They
could not do so if there was any such
disposition. There are but few nun
bred LAWYERS in the state. and only
mart of these are engaged in practice
while there are between 10000 and
100 900 voters. The judges will be
chosen by the thousands of voters and
not by the handful of lawyers.
The newspapers of the state have
shown a great interest in the question
and, without hope or promise OF nm
ancial or political reward, number
of them have taken a courageous
stand in favor of a free and full ex-
pression of opinion. all of which has
very greatly aided the efforts of tho
committee.
It is the Judgment Of those who
have joined in this movement tnat
Judges Fisk and H. Ellsworth and
Mr.. c. NJ. Cooley are the best quail
fed for the important position.
Then follows the names Of a hum
dred leading lawyers of the state who
sanction this movement. 1t is not
unlikely that an equal number of lead
ing attorneys would also favor the &C.
lection of the other three candidates,
Messrs. Burke, Anderson and Goss,
and It is up to the individual voter to
as fully inform himself as possible
that he may intelligently act upon
this important question.

THE NEW TRAIN GRANTED.

President Finley of the Southern Railway has
the thanks Of Richmond for his action yesterday
in practically conceding the request of many
citizens for another train ont of the city on the
Southern in the afternoon.
The new train, leaving at o'clock, P NJ,
will run as far as Moselevs junction, II miles
from Richmond, and return later in the after
noon.
II will till in the gap between schedules from
an important suburban territory, which under
tho old arrangement existed between 1o:45, \.
NJ. when the morning train leaves for the South
and p NJ, the time of the departure Of the
evening Southbound train.
This opens to Richmond a valuable territory,
makes many suburban homes and farms more
ready Of access to the city, in every way meets a
want which has for long time been felt, The
readiness of President Finley TO hear the needs
of the community in this respect and hearing, to
grant them. viii do much to popularize himself
and his road among the people whom II serves
and upon whom it in large measure depends,

LONELINESS.

More than one thoughtful philosopher mas de-
cared that there il 10 solitude like unto chat of
q crowd III the desert places of the earth the
cregarious instinct is strong. Where a human
being Is nfreqHent sight. there is confidence
in humanity. With acfual surroundings Of soil
etude man appreciates the need Of his neghbor
for company and sympathy. Fellowship and
generous instincts flourish in the wastes. 1t is
only where all is apparently life, where there is
glitter and light, where there are tceming streets,
thar il seems possible for the true loneliness to
exist.
On the lonesome trails the well-stocked trave-
Ter thinks Of those who will follow him, and in
his deserted camp leaves stock of fuel and pro-
visions; III the great city in the midst of plenty,
il happens that there is shown occasionally the
possibility of starvation.
Recent press dispatches carry the old tale of
a suicide to whom death apparently attracted the
first bit of genuine notice. In a big city a
woman, tired with the battle Of life worn ont
with touching elbows with people to whom she
could not speak, desperate for the want of friend
ship, ended her existence out of mere excess Of
loneliness. In all the crowds that thronged the
streets she had not one friend. Those whose
faces she saw daily passed her without recogni-
ton. The very people who shared the house n
which she lived were all but unconscious of
her existence. In the midst of conscious life,

WHY THEY ARE NOT LOVED.

| All who have ever attended the public hearings
in courts or before Legislative bodies at times
when the interests Of railroads were at stake re-
member the type Of high official amazoment
written upon his grief-stricken countcnance, the
tenor of whose remarks invariably is: How
strange that the people do not love the railroad" !.
To hear these martys to public service tel! it, an
ungrateful people delight in abusing, in harrow
ing the feelings, III impeding the progress, and
IN hampering the development of their greatest
and best friends. Whereupon such officials call
up in their imagnatons brighter and a hap
pier time, when the lion and the lamb shall
lie down in peace together, and get up SO inter
mingled-not to say digested-- that the one in
his comfort forgets to roar, and the other in its
perfect assimilation with the sentiment Of its
bedfellow needs no longer to bleat
Why do not the people love the railroads Be
cause in hundred little things the railroads
forget that the people are an aggregation of
units They forget that an affront to one humble
passenger, infinitely repeated in the cases of
thousands of other humble passengers rouses at
length an unanimity of opinion that finds sud
den fierce and disconcerting expression 1t is

attorneys go to the grieverv and thence to the

thawed out, that they seem to again warrant the
petty annoyances, the small injustie,.s that make

it, the further dispute as to which side won

prosperity. 1t is hopeful sign that the dog
