LONGITUDE

Formerly each nation took its own
capital or principal observatory as the
standard meridian from which longi-
tudes were measured. Another sys-
tenn had a meridian passing through
or near the island of FerrO, defined as
20 degrees west Of Paris, as the stand
ard. While the system of counting
from the capital of the country is still
used for local purposes, the tendency
in recent years is to use the meridian
of Greenwich, near London, England,
for nautical and international pur-
poses. France, however, uses the
meridian of the Paris observatory as
it's standard for all nautical and as
Economical purposes.

Famous Forest Built OUer

Sherwood forest was an ancient
forest in the west of NOttinghamshire.
England, in a billy district between
Nottingham and WorksOp. The tract
covered about 200 square miles and
was formerly a royal forest, famous
as the scene of the exploits of Robin
Hood. Only a small portion of the
forest, near. Rotterdam, still remains.
The rest of the country it once COW
cred is now occupied by country seats
and private parks, and is for the most
part bare of trees.

Medical Use for Lizards

A Spanish doctor published in 1877
a memoir in which he discussed the
astonishing cures obtained with prep
arations of lizards. "The patients
who used Them" he said, experienced
a feverish heat accompanied or fol-
lowed by fainting, perspiration. and
sometimes commissions" On investi-
CATION It was found that the lizard the
Spanish doctor used was the common
gray wall lizard found in France In
the warm season. ...

Sexes Vocal Cords

Talking fatigues women less than It
does men, Flemish scientist says In
a dry objective way, without entering
into the controversy as to whether the
female Is more laxative than the
male.
The scientist explains his statement
by two facts: First, that the greater
the length Of the vocal cords, the
more energy is required to produce a
sound; second. that the vocal cords Of
women are shorter than those of men.
