DEFECT IN STANDARDS.
British Weights and Measures Called
in Question.

LONDON, March 22--The strict watch
kept on weights and measures in the
British Isles has led to the discovery
that even the standard weights and
measures are not to be relied on. Ac-
cording to the annual report on weights
and measures just issued by the board
of trade, the only four official copies OF
the imperial standard yard in existence
here have shrunk. The standard yard
is kept in the strong room OF the stand
ards department at Westminster
The copies which, like the standard it
self are made Of bronze alloy, have de-
creased in length, as compared with the
original, as follows: The royal mint
copy, % millionths of an inch snort ;
roysi society COPY. 40 millionths short;
Greenwich Observatory copy, 43 mil
iionths short; standard department copy,
215 millionths short.
