Wise Business Men!
The buninem mens demonstration ln
Cooper Union, last night. to urge action
, in Congress upon the tariff and revenue
‘ legislation under consideration, was a
worse exhibition of trucuieucy than Con.
gross has yet made. The whole song of
this concert was do something, 'do any-
thing. but do. There was nozconsidern-
tion of principle. no regard for right
1 but a wail for expediency. Thone1' grant
‘ businessmen who spoke talked with as
little regard for wisdom newthe less favor-

and prays without faith.

business depression.‘ Neither will the

that they were willing [to sacrifice

A New Metroiogy.
Dr. Charles do Medici of New Kerk de-
clares boldly that exact equivalents in
numbers can be found for all geometric
forms and ratios. For instance, he says
the circle can he squared exactly and
that he has succeeded in 11.111.311.119 de-
fines metrology to be the sc lanes of cor-
rect measurement in accordnme with
some given and definite standard. He
goes back of all measurements of sur-
faces, solids. fluids or time, and looks
to geometry for the exact unit which
will stand for them 1111. To this unit
he gives the name of metrometer, and
he asserts that be has found it. He
would have all instruments, scales,
weights and measures constructed in con-
formity with his unit according to a
fixed geometric standard which will be.
the same for all nations and ages. At
present our weights 111111 11101111111115 are 111'-
bitrary and different in different coun-
tries.
Dr. de Medici 5111's that the science- of
geometry progresses as well as other
sciences, and now is the time for it to
advance beyond the propositions of En-
clid. He has in press 11 textbook of
the new geometry which he hopes will
be taken up and examined on its mer-
its by mathematical professors every-
where. That in all he asks. He claims
that the book itself will do the rest.
Among the propmiliutm in his gtmutetry
will be a new rule for trim ting angles
and another for doublingl nbes.
