Standard Of coIors.

The call for international standards
of all kinds is becoming every day
more insistent with the progressive
uniflcation of the industries of tho
world The latest demand of this kind
is for an International standard OF
colors.
Chemists. manufacturers Of dye
stufRs and pigments, and many others
would benefit by such a standard. 1t
is suggested that when once the de-
sired color scheme has been decided
upon. the best method Of perpetuating
the standards. and rendering them
available for comparison everywhere,
would be by means of colored glasses
with which a tintometer could be con.
structed. A tentative instrument OF
this kind. based on an arbitrary color
scheme, has been made.-Youth's

WORLDS OLDEST WOOD DOOR
Said to Have Been Built for Church
at Rome 1900 Years Ago-Made
by Peter the IlIyrian.

Rome.-The Dominican Order pos
sesses in Rome two churches Of
great interest, Santa Maria Sopra
Minerva in the heart of the city, and
Santa Sabina on the Aventine.
The latter during the closing years
of st. Dominick's life was his home
and headquarters. But the church
was already very ancient when he
took up his abode there. According
to the Rosary it was built a. D. 425,
during the pontificate OF ST. Celestine.
It's founder is commemorated still
in the original mosaic inscription dat
ing from 431, on the western wall OF
the church inside the entrance. The
mosaic even now Is splendid relic
of a very far distant age.
Remains OF the second church are
to be seen in the western corridor or
cloIster, where are a number OF early
inscriptions; on one side the original
twisted columns of paVonazzetto still
support the roof, on the other they
have been replaced by granite. 1t was
from window in this cloister that
women we're allowed to look out upon
st. Dominick's orange tree.
The entrance door OF the church Is
so. ancient that 1t is said to be the
Oldest wooden door in the world; as
It dates partly from the fifth century,
1t may be supposed to have been the
original door of tbs church built by
Peter the Illyrian.

handicap which required they should
win two games, met again today at
