That la l'«r la (irrnt Brltala and tha lalted State*. The yard Is U»e British and American standard of length. I>own to 1S24 the original standard of Britain, from •which ours was copied, Was a rod, which had l-een de|K>slted in the court of exchequer, I.oudou, iu the time of Queen Elizabeth. In those days all measures Intended for general use were taken to the court of exchequer to Ik? examined by llio proper officer. That official took the proposed meas ure and placed it parallel with the standard and If found correct placed certain marks of Identification u|)on it. By an act of parliament in 1824 the old Elizabethan standard was super seded by another, which had l»een con structed under the directions of the Royal society sixty-four years previ ous. This net provided that “the straight line of distance between the centers of two points in the gold studs In the brass rod now iu the custody of the clerk of the house of commons shall be the genuine standard of the yard measure in Clrent Britain.” The net further provided that the measure ments of the rod must be made wheu the temperature of the brass was at 02 degrees F. ’ The standard was destroyed by fire in 1834, and the commission appointed to replace it made the yard measure now hi use. The new standard w’as de posited In the house of parliament In 1836," and authenticated copies of It are In the possession of our govern ment officials at Washington. THE DEAD SEA. Work of th« *■** Diver* In Thl* Don- ©late West*, ^The awful desolation of tho Dead sea, which lies nearly 1,300 feet below the level of the Mediterranean, is bro ken here and there by the salt divers, whose work Is probably as ancient aa the human race Itself. From remotest antiquity the salt of the Dead sea has been collected and taken to the Jerusalem market, where it is used for curing hides and tot do mestic purposes. Dead sea water con tains over 25 per cent of solid sub stances, of which 7 per cent Is chloride of sodium, or common salt The Dead sea contains no living crea ture. Sea fish put into Its waters speed ily die. Not a single boat navigates its strange waters, nor is there any sign of life, save the isolated parties of suit divers, who scrape aud slowly amass their glistening heaps of crystal near the mouth of the Jordan. When a sufficient cargb ds made ready a long string of camels crosses the desert, and the salt Is loaded up into panniers, or “shwerries,” and tak en Into Jerusalem, where it finds a ready market . s Salt, ns is well known, has been used as currency from time Immemorial, Just as bricks of tea are used today in central Asia, especially hi the border land of China and Siberia.—Technical World Magazine.

The Anclrnt and Strance Custom of Shuvlnff the Head. A historic::! luquiry Into the origin of tho custom oi shaving tho head, which Is practiced In several'countries. would bo interesting. It was uot until the fifth century that in Europe* priests lK*gan to shave their crowns. Tho Roman clergy then adopt . ed tho circular method and shaved that small round si>ot on the top of the head which Is known as the ton- sure. In Scotland, however, the monks shaved the whole of the fore part of the bead from ear to ear. In the Andaman Islands every man shaves his bead, or, rather, gets his wife to shave it for him. Many other orientals also get baldheaded. As for the Chinaman, his method of shaving is exactly opposed to that of toe Roman monk. He shaves a!! but a round patch, the hair of which grows long and forms the pigtaU. When the difficulty of shaving the head Is 1)01*06 in mind the true strange ness of the custom becomes doubly apparent It la bard to sea the ad vantage of it yet In one form oc an other and at one time or other It baa bsan practiced In nearly every country.
