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.
