but not nearly exact enough for scientific

The meter. as every schoolboy knows,
is the one forty-millionth part OF the
earth's circumference, but all the test
measurements made since Mechain and
Dlambre measured the arc of the meri-
dian between Dunkirk and Barcelona
more than a hundred years ago have
given different results. All the worlds s
standard measures have been derived
from. the original meter measure. the
platinum-iridium rod preserved in Paris,
but even this original measure is by no
means exact from the viewpoint of scient-
lists, who measure by the micron, the
thousandth part of a millimetre, or l.
5000 inch, and all the metal standard
replicas from the Paris meter cannot be

Therefore scientists have long been
looking for som means to check the length
of the meter to the limit Of human exact
ness. Measuring by the swing Of a PEN
dulum had very soon to be abandoned,
because the length Of the swing diff

Here the quiet humor Of the negro
