claimed that the British secretary of
foreign affairs attempted to meet the
present situation with rule Of his
own making.
Members of Congress have. since the
receipt of the British note. devoted
considerable time to study of this sub
ject, since a number of them expect to
be called into conference with the Presi-
dent on the right of American commerce
to be free from undue molestation on the
high seas. Perusal of many standard
volumes. they say, fails to show any basis
for the English reply. in SO far as the
right was claimed to take neutral ves-
sells to port of the captor for search.
and this is particularly true when the
cargo is consigned to a neutral port.
One official who has made an ex-
haustfve study of the issues involved
in the dispute between the United
States and Great Britain, and whose
opinion will have large weight with
the administration, says:
by the rules laid down in the vari-
Gus text books, and following naval in
structions noted in the authorities, a
vessel of the bel1igerent entering upon
a visitation and search is bound to con-
duct itself with due regard for fixed
limitations.
THE common procedure shows plain

II 8NCLE SAM is busy trying to
make perfect standards for
weights and measures. yet few
realize the work that is going on along
this lire. From the day the frst-born
is placed on the scales to the moment
when his last pulse beats are licked
of his entire existence is subject tc
these tests.
But the busy citizen seldom bothers
about this point. He accepts his quart
of berries or his pound of butter as
d matter of course, as things which are
done for as far as improvement is con-
cerned. Yet there is no branch of the
government in which more actual
work Is accomplished than at the bu-
reau of standards.
A large corps of scientists are con-
stantly at work in measuring, weigh
ing and testing just as earnestly as

ing the accuracy of such things. In
these laboratories every day are tests

discover tie nationality and destination
of the vessel and the character of it's
cargo. If the vessel is shown to be
neutral. with either a neutral or bel
ligerent port as its destination, and
the cargo is non -contraband. it is per-
mitted to proceed.
1T may also be said upon general
authorities if the cargo be contra
band 1t should be permitted to pro-
ceed II the destination of the goods and
ship is a neutral port"
This same authority quoted Hall, a
noted British writer on international
law. to the effect that the visiting ship
usually hoists its colors and fires a
gun, by which a neutral vessel is
warned to heave to. This ceremony Is
declared not to be essentially an Eng
lish or American custom, except in the
case of ships attempting to evade
search.
According to the English practice, as
stated by Hall. the officer who boards
the merchantmen asks for the pro-
duction of. first, the registry: second.
the passport or sea letter: third, the
muster roll; fourth, the logbook: fifth,

have been secured as standard to
which others must conform to be cor
rect. These twelve lights have been
tested abroad as we'll as in this coun-
try, and are now preserved in the same
vault with the kilogram and meter.
The way in which a standard of
measure for the gallon was obtained
was by making 1t equal eight and one
third pounds of water. hence any ves-
sci which can contain eight and one
third pounds of water will hold gall
Ion. BY this test the hydrometers
used in the internal revenue service are
gagged The bushel of dry measure is
equal TO 2,150.42 cubic inches of water
The work done at the bureau of
standards Is of the most delicate and
technical character. and there is not
an industry in the country which is
not financially interested in what 1t is
doing. The weights and measures by
which the business Of the world is done
must be as perfect as human brains
can make them. There is constant
testing to the millionth of an inch. to
the fraction OF a grain of dust in
weight, and every condition as to heat
and moisture must be perfect

This Importance Is shown by the fact
that so many fraudulent weights and
scales have been used that in some
cities they have been seized and pub
licly burned. Packages and bottles with
false bottoms are constantly placed on
the market Inspectors are employed
in every city to prevent the customer
being cheated by scales in stores.
In colonial times many of the states
differed in their weights and meas
ures, but now the scale is uniform
throughout the nation. With perfect

parison can correct any error. and with
a large corps Of scientists ready to test

Self Sacrifice.

No man has ever sacrificed himself
In the common meaning OF that phrase.
which is self sacrifice for another
alone. Men make daily sacrifice for
others but 1t is for their own sake
first, They must content their own
spirit first. A man must feel better
for doing duty than he would for
shirking il. #e
Take the case OF the Berkeley Cas-
tie. British troopship crowded with
soldiers and their wives and children.
There was room In the boats for the
women and children only. The colonel
lined up his regiment on the deck and
said, 1T is our duty to die that they
may be saved" There was no muir

away the women and children. When
the death moment was come the colo

posts, the men stood at present" and

noting the precise moment when a
plant gives up its life, but in recording
