ures, But Cannot Find It.
The use Of melted quartz for the
manufacture of standard measures Of
length has been great disappont
ment since even this material is sub
ject to very marked fluctuations in
length.
The search for a suitable material is,
however. being continued, because plat
inum-iridium, which has been used up
to the present, Is out Of the question for
practical purposes on account of its
great cost, says the Scientific Ameri
can.
Or. Guillaume discovered the alloy,
which has become known under the
name Of "inyar" an abbreyiation fol
''invariable"
The nickel-steel alloy would make an
ideal material for standards Of length
ON account of its great resistance to
changes in temperature. but unfortu
nately it is not proof against chemical
action For this reason it is suitable
only for standards OF the second grade,
In which accuracy within n millionth

The ideal material. possessing the ad.

expensive than the latter, is therefore
still to be found Similarly good mate

sought extensively and various non
magnetic nickel alloys have been tested
A review of the progress in the use
of the metric system shows that during

WOULD ABOLISH GUN MEN.

American Federation of Labor Inauau-
rate National Campaign.
An appeal for a national campaign
against the use Of gun men In strikes
has been made by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, In the name Of Sam
uel Gompers, its head. The appeal is
based on killings In the labor riots in
the last few months In New Jersey,
West Virginia, Colorado and Michigan.
The development of the modern
state" says the appeal, was charac-
terized by transferring the exercise of
constituted authority from individuals
to representatives OF the government of
the people. To permit that authority
to be usurped again by individuals
means the undermining and destruc-
ton of representative political institu-
tons"
Gun men, the federation says, are
an institution that exists III no other
civilized country"
The time has come for the working
people, backed by the conscience OF all
right thinking, liberty loving Ameri-
cans who value their rights, freedom
and their very lives, to arouse them
selves to the duty of Kidding our states
and our republic OF these rowing, pri-
yate armies Of Hessians."

MaoelIanic Clouds.

The Magellanic clouds are two
cloudy masses of light, oval in shape
and unequal in size. seen at night in
the heavens in the vicinity of the
south pole They are supposed to be
nebulae, or dense aggregatons OF
stars, so far distant as to give to the
unassisted eye the impression of cloud
like masses. They cover areas of AZ
and 10 square degrees respectively and
are so named in honor of Ferdinand

GLORY In TIER GLOOM.
These Pessimists Love Misery and
ReveI In Wretchedness.

Revel In Wretchedness.
Vowing never to admit that passing
time has given the world any cause to
rejoice or that it has brought or ever
can bring any good to the human race,
Liverpool's "Pezzers' society stands
out unique among the many organiza-
tions which have come into existence.
Its members are true pessimists, and it
appears that the brotherhood was
known originally as the Liverpool Soci-
ETY. of Pessimists. Later the name was
contracted to It's more academic pres
ent form.
Curiously enough, the original mem
bers did not set out to be preachers of
gloom. Quite the contrary. They were
amateur social reformers and dabbers
in abstract science who met occasional
ly in an obscure coffee house. The ap-
parent futiity of their efforts to i'm
press the world, which did not desire
to be reformed in any way and which
evinced no taste for their abstract sci
ence, caused the little band to organize
to take what comfort it might in pes
simism
None of the members must be cheer
ful on pain of immediate expulsion.
They are only optimists about one
thing, and that is their pessimism.
They revel in their gloom and are only
happy in their unhappiness. The soci-
ETY. is well conducted 1t has its rules
and it's officers. The greatest event in
the pessmist year is the annual "Pez-
GERS razzle. when the members make
a gloomy pilgrimage which lasts
throughout the night On this occasion
they go forth in costume as nearly ap.
proaching sackcloth and ashes as pos
sible, and a dark, dismal night is chos-
en-. Supper overland there is nothing
gloomy about the food the tables are
pushed back, the cheerful lamps are
extinguished and the company sit
round the fire smoking churchwarden
pipes.
A little later the harder "Pezzers"
embark on gloomy tramp, which lasts
throughout the night Down country
lanes, across the fields and through the
woods they go, never missing grave
yard or anything really depressing In
the churchyard of a very ancient par
ish they halt and remain for an hour
or so while Grays "Elegy" is solemnly
recited by the arch Pezzer and other
Pezzers less arch recite gloomy poems
of their own or some one else's compo
sition.
If the night is unusually dark and
they are able to lose themselves in CON
sequence they are as happy as sworn
pessimists may permit themselves to
be. 1t is then that the society's torch
bearer is allowed to exercise his sole
and rare-prerogatye of lighting up.
The torch is a very ancient horn Ian
tern stuck on the end Of a pole and
containing a pessimistic candle. 1t is
only to be lighted when the Pezzers
are utterly lost and cannot possibly
find their way without illumination,
and when their bearings are ascertain.

EVIL OF FACTIONS.

Union and division are terms
of directly opposite meaning. A

at the same time be a diyistonist.

faction into being. thereby divid
