WEIGHTS ANDMEASURES.
Care With Which England's Standards
Are Preserved. , ''.
Every twenty years government offi
cials compare the current weights and
measures with the standards, which
are sealed up in the staircase of the
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,,
imall as it is, the metal of which it is
composed is worth 40. The standard
yard is a bar of bronze thirty -eight
Inches long, on which a yard has been
marked off in -thirty-six divisions of an
Inch. ' The greatest possible care is
taken of these two important articles.
When a comparison is being made
they are handled with tongs. The
pound weight is weighed in the most
delicate of chemical balances, and the
yard is measured with a micrometer.
When they are done with the pound it
la wrapped in a special soft paper and
laid in a 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 a mahogany case,
which is carefully sealed. Both cases
are then put into a leaden casket, which
Is sealed by soldering. The packing is
not yet finished, however, for the lead
case is placed in a strong oak box.
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.
Grant and Lee.
In reminiscences of President Grant
by Robert M. Douglass, his private sec
retary, in the Youth's Compauion he
says:
"One afternoon a tall, handsome man
of splendid presence and "with a grave,
courteous face entered my office and
modestly announced himself as Robert
E. Lee. When I told the president he
directed me to bring the distinguished
visitor in at once. Their meeting was
cordial, but apparently their recollec
tions brought feelings of sadness to
both men. The president, with his
usual consideration, presented me to
General Lee, who knew my family and
who greeted me kindly. I expressed
my pleasure at meeting him and then
retired from the room. I felt that at
such a time no one should intrude. The
visit was merely one of courtesy and
did not last long. I believe that it was
the only time after the war that the
two great generals met."
