For Square Measure the square of long measure is used. For measuring :and-in the place of acre-the centar which is one square meter, equivalent to 1,550 square inches ; the ar which is 100 square meters, equivalent to 119.6 square yards ; the hectar which is 10,000 square meters, equivalent to 2.47114 acres, are nsed.


For Cubic Measure the cube of fong measure is used ; ster is used as a measure of wood in place of cord.


The mill, cent, dime, dollar and eagle of U. S. money exactly illustrate the decimal system of the metric measures,-the mill, cent, dime, corresponding with the milli, centi, deci of the metric system.


Abbreviations .- For meter, liter, and gram, the small initial letter is used, viz : m. I. g. ; each di- vision deci, centi, miili, also is abbreviated by using the small initial letters d. c. m. ; but each multiple, deka, hekto, kilo, myria, is abbreviated by using the capital initial letter D. H. K. M.


Equivalents .- 1 inch equals .0254 meter. or about 2 1-2 centimeters ; 1 foot equals .3048 meter, or about 30 centimeters ; 1 yard equals .9144 meter, or ab. 10-11 of a meter ; 1 mile 1609 meters, or ab. 1.6 kilo- meters.


1 U. S. liquid quart equals .946 Ifter, or a litwe less than 1 liter ; 1 U. S. dry quart equals 1.101 liters ; 1 U. S. gallon equals 3.785 liters, or about 3.8 uters ; 1 U.S. bnshe equais 35 24 liters, or about 4-11 of a hekoliter. 1 avoirdupois ounce equals .02835 kilogram, or a little less than 30 grams ; 1 Troy and apothecaries ounce equals .03110 kilogram, or a little more than 30 grams ; 1 avoirdupois pound equals .45359 kilogram, or about 5-11 of a kilogram ; 1 long ton-2240 pounds-equals 1016.05 kilograms, or about 1 metric ton.


Basis of the System .- 1. The unit of length, the meter, is the ten millionth part of a quadrant of the meridian of Paris, being 39.37 inches, nearly. 2. The unit of surface, the ar, is the square of ten me- ters, or a hundred square meters. 3. The unit of capacity, the liter, is a cube whose edge is a tenth of & meter. 4. The unit of weight, the gram, is the weight of a cube of rain water, whose edge is an hund- redth of a meter. From these four primary units all others are derived according to the decimal scale.


Where used .- The system is adopted by the following countries : in exclusive use in France. Ger- many, Austria, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Switzerland, Roumania, Brazil ; in par- tial use in Denmark, Greece, Argentine Confederation, Venezuela ; legalized, but not in general use, in the United States, Great Britian, Russia, Norway. Sweden, Turkey, Mexico, Chili, Costa Rica, Equador, Peru, U. S. of Columbia, Uruguay. In Sweden compulsory law will take effect in 1889.
