heavens and seven hierarchies of
angels.
Seven had a mystical significance
among peoples who had no tradition of
a aeTen day creation, and this was due
to Its being Indivisible by any number
but itself and to its being a combina-
tion of 3 (called by Pythagoras the per-
fect number, representing beginning,
middle and end) and i, the square num-
ber.
The Pythagorean idea about 3 receiv-
ed confirmation when the doctrine of
trinity in unity was promulgated by
the early Christiana For 3 is itself at
once trinity and unity.
The number 9 was endowed with
mysterious properties because It Is the
product of three times three—perfec-
tion multiplied by perfection. To see
nine magpies was remarkably lucky.
Nine grains of wheat laid on a four
leafed clover enabled one to see the
fairies.—New York World.

Sc ranee Wants It For Standard Meaa-
urea, But Cannot Find It.
The use of melted quartz for the
manufacture of standard measures of
length has been a great disappoint-
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-
lnum-lridlum, 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.
Dr. Guillaume discovered the alloy,
which has become known under the
name of "Invar." an abbreviation for
"invariable."
The nickel-steel alloy would make an
ideal material for standards of length
on account of Us 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 a millionth
part is sufficient
The ideal material, possessing the ad-
vantages of platinum-lridlum but lows
expensive than the latter. Is therefore
still to be found. Similarly good mate-
rials for standard weights have been
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
recent years Denmark, Slam, Belgian
Congo and some of the Central Ameri-
can states have adopted this decimal
system.
The most Important success still to
be gained by the metric system, the
conquest of England and of the United
States, seems still, however, far re-
moved.
Th* First Aeroplane,
The earliest effort to construct a ma-
chine which, according to modern
ideas. Is entitled to be called an aero-
plane was undoubtedly that of William
Henson in 1842. Henson, who was a
practicing engineer, with offices in New
City chambers, Bishops gate, London,
devised a machine which resembled
very closely the type which has since
been termed the monoplane—that Is,
having its supporting planes practi-
cally forming a single deck, as dis-
tinguished from tho box form of the
biplane and multiplane devices of later
inventors.
