WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
Care With Which Ensland's Standard,
Are Preserved.

Are Preserved.
Every twenty years government OH.
sials compare the current weights and
measures with the standards, which
are sealed up in the staircase OF tho
house Of commons. There are only
two standards, the pound weight and
the yard measure. The standard pound
Is Of platinum, which despite its weight
is no larger than a cubic inch, and,
small as 1t is, the metal Of which it is
composed Is worth $40. The standard
yard is a bar of bronze thlrty.eight
inches long, on which a yard has been
marked or in thirty-six divisions of an
inch. The greatest possible care is
taken of these two important articles.
When comparison is being made
they are handled with tongs. Tho
pound weight is weighed In the most
delicate Of chemical balances, and tho
yard is measured with a micrometer.
When they are done with the pound it
is wrapped in a special soft paper and
laid in silver gilt case, which is plac.
ed In a bronze case, this being put In a
wooden box, afterward screwed down
and sealed. The yard measure is plac-
ed on eight rollers In mahogany case,
which is carefully sealed. Both cases
are then put into leaden casket, which
Is sealed by soldering. The. packing Is
not yet finished, however, for the lead
case is placed in a strong oak boz.
When this is screwed down it is placed
in the hole In the wall. The wall Is
built up by a mason, and the standards
can only be obtained by demolishing it
once more.-London Globe.

FACTS ABOUT FURs-

Alaskan furs, the sale of which is E-controlled by the government, have usually been sent to the London mar ket. This policy has been pursued in spite of the fact, not known outside of the trade, that St Louis, right here at home. is one of the most i'm portant distributing centers for raw skins in the world
 The government decided to try tn e St. Louis market this year, and or dered the furs sent there instead of to London An auction sale of the skiing began on Tuesday with most satisfactory results Perfect blue fox skins sold for $15s apiece and per feet seal skins sold for $52 The gov ernment official looking after the sale said that the average prices were from to. 10 per cent higher than those realized in London last year.
 The price of the blue fox skins should be interesting to those specu- IatOrs who are putting money into fox ranches on the promise that a perfect black fov skin will bring $100O and silver and blue skins in proportion. But even if the price of black skins should fall to $25 there would be money in the business if foxes only under stood arithmetic so well as rabbits do and could multiply with the same unerTing precision--Philadelp Pub lie Ledger.

ment of advanced, inoperalb1e cancer is still untouched by any method yet devised or likely to be devised for ad- ministering radiurn. Even among the so-ca1led radium cures, it still re- mains to be determined in many cases whether the favorable result is per manent or is to be followed Sooner or later by the usual recurrence. The
 most competent surgeons do not dare to pronounce a case cured until five years have elapsed after an apparent ly successful operation. The same test must be applied before we can finally determine the real value of ra- alum.
 It should be emphasized especially that radium cannot at present exert any permanent benefit on generalized cancer, and since cancer, in a very large proportion of cases, is widely disseminated in the body early in the course of the disease, this entire group of cases can expect no important re- lief from radium. Another large group of cancers is comparatively in accessible to the application of ra- dium, so that the ultimate course of

 supply of this metal places 1t out of reach of the greater majority Of pa tients It is to be feared that much harm may result from undue reliance upon small quantities of low grade radlum when other methods of treat ment would be more effective.
 Evidence of the possible extent of popular nisconception on this subject is found in a pathetic letter recently received at the New York Health De- partment from sufferer in California who had somehow obtained the i'm perssion that the United States gov ernment was about to purchase large quantities of radfum from abroad Az suming that the New York City physician would have a plentiful sup ply, the writer asked that some be sent to him c. O. D. without delaying to advise him as to the cost.
 Under the term "caneer'' are com monly grouped several diseases which d11er widely in nature, cauSat1ons and courses, and in their response to ra- dium. It requires both skill and ex- perience to determine just what type of cancer one has to deal with as well as the advisabiilty of using radium- Hence, it is extremely difficult to for mulate an accurate statement Of the true position of radium therapy. but it is quite clear that the exploitation of this remedy as cure of cancer in gen eral is to be deprecated.

BOOK or JOB TO BE srAGED.

The Book of Job'' will be staged by the university of Wisconsin dra- matic society this season. This will be probably the first time Job" ever has been given on the modern stage. That it was presented by the ancient Hebrews is the contention of H. M. KaIIen, instructor in philosophy at the university.
 MT. Kallen said he had not dramat- ized the work, but simply restored 1t to the form in which it was originally written for the ancient Hebrews. This differs from the views of most of the big men in literature today. To them "Job'' is an epic. They assert that in their whole literature the Jews have not a single drama.
 To this MT. Ka11en takes exception He admits .'the book of Job" may be the only drama in the language, but rays years of study have convinced him that it is one. In its original he says, ''the book of Job'' resembles the old Greek dramas. It also has all { characteristics of a drama writ ten a Hebrew writer in the Greek Iangus ge-Philadelphia Public L4edg-

IRIDIUM TREATMENT OF CANCER

The American Society for the Con- tro1 of Cancer fears that exaggerated ideas of the power of radium in the treatment of cancer may result from the recent publicity given to this agent in the daily press. It appears highly important at the present time that the limitations of radium in the con- tro1 of cancer should be emphasized as we'll as it's favorable effects in cer- tain cases. Otherwise the familiar story of new hopes, destined only to disappointment, will again be record ed at the expense of many unfortunate sufferers.
 The curative effects of radium are practically limited today to superficial cancers of the skin, to superficial growths of mucous mem brane which are not true cancers, and to some deeper lying tumors of bone, etc, which are not very malignant. The problem of the constitutional treat

Cucumber milk is in deed a splendid addition to the dress 1szE table-if you take the trouble to make it yourself. But 1t is a cosmetic Ihap can be spoiled in the making. I know personally of one firm that is w@dERy known as a manufactures of famous and reliable cosmetics. Yet one day when some hundreds of gall Ions of cucumber milk were spoiled in the making, they bottled it up and sent it out anyway. When I asked why that was done their reply was:
 Why, good heavens! If we threw that stum away it would mean the loss of thousands of dollars!
 That is one reason why homemade cosmetics are preferable. Few houses, however reliable. are going to act diff ferently than did this house have just quoted. under similar circum- stances Thus you do not know when you get your cream or your powder or milk, whether 1t is up to par or not.
 But here is a splendid recipe for cucumber milk
 Oil of sweet almonds, four ounces
 Fresh cucumber juice ten ounces.
 Essence of cucum0er, three ounces
 Powdered white castillo soap, one- quarter ounce
 Tincture of benzoin forty drops
 Put the essence of cucumber into a large, wide-mouthed bottle. Add the soap. When the soap is dissolved. add the cucumber juice. Now shake this we'll, until you feel that it Is thoroughly mixed Pour into 8 Jar. Now add the almond oil, stir, and then the benzoin. Stir all this until d thickish, creamy liquid is formed.
