Recovery Of Lost Standards.


Recovery Of Lost Standards.
A curious experiment was a&ct
made to determine whether . .osl

personal efforts. The assumption was
made that the standard Of length vas
lost. One hundred operatives and 9th.
ers accustomed to dealing with meas.
urements were asked to give by esti.
mate their ideas Of what the given
standard was-in other words, to
guess at length OF the meter. It was
found that the guesses were most &C.
curate for lengths of about six inches
that small lengths were underesti.
mated and larger ones were overesti.
mated. Taking the average OF the
100 subjects the result varied but q
few one thousandths from the truth.

doned, and in his exhaustive study OF
the prehistoric remains OF Malta.
which was, however, written before
the discovery Of the Hypogaeum at
Paula, Professor Mayr shows that the
construction Of the Maltese sanctu-
aries is, entirely at variance with
Phoenician peculiarities. That there
are in Malta plenty Of Phoenician
tombs and other remains OF Phoeni-
clan colonization is obvious enough,
but these less developed forms are I'M
like them. and, even had they been
identical with earlier stages of Phoen1-
clan art. would not have been intro
duced by colonists or traders at later
stage Of development.
In a recent article Mr.. G.. Hogarth
has described the rise In pre-Homer1c
times of an Aegean civilization which
eliminated during the age Of bronze
in the apogee of Cnossus, and paved
the way for the development OF his
toric Greece. In Malta modern re-
searches, collated with the results OF
archaeological study In Sardinia, In the
Balearic Islands and In the southeast
Of Spain, suggest the growth OF a civil
lization never attaining such advanced
culture, but persisting through long
ages with striking tenacity and indi-
vidual character. and surviving as
lingering tradition to this our day.
The discovery of the Hypogaeum at
Paula, whatever may have been the
exact use Of its mysterious chambers
with their strangely curved walls, adds
another and most important testimony
to this theory of an early western
Mediterranean civilization which Pro
lessor Mayr traces from Malta, be-
yond the limits named above, to the
northwestern coasts OF France. Eng

the Orkney and Shetland Islands.
