DECIMAL SYSTEM OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
THE DECIMAL SYSTEM
OF
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
As Authorized by Act of Congress -- Approved July 28, 1866.
STANDARDS.
In every system of Weights and Measures it is necessary to have what are called "Standards," as the pound, yard, gallon, &c., to be divided and multiplied into smaller and larger parts and denominations. The detnition and construction of these Standards involve philosophical and scien- tific principles of a somewhat abstruse character. and are made and procured by the legislative department of the govern- ment. The nominal Standards in the new system are the METER, the ARE, the LITER, and the GRAM. The only real Standard, the one by which all the other standards are measured, and from which the system de- rives its name of " Metric," is the METER.
THE METER
Is used for all measures of length, distance, breadth, depth, heighth, &c., and was in- tended to be, and is very nearly, one ten- millionth of the distance on the earth's surface from the equator to the pole. It is about 3936 inches, or 3 feet, 3 inches and 3 eighths, and is to be substituted for the yard.
THE ARE
Is a surface whose side is ten Meters, and is equal to 100 square Meters or about 4 square rods.
THE LITER
Is the unit for measuring solids and capa- ity, and is equal to the contents of a cube whove edge is one-tenth of a meter. It is about equal to 1 quart, and is a standard in cubic, dry and liquid measures. D
A cubic Meter (or Kiloliter) is called a sters, and is also usedas a standard in cer- tain cubic measures.
THE GRAM
Is the Unit of weight, and is the weight of a cube of pure water, each edge of the cube being one one-hundredth of a Meter. It is about equal to 15% grains. It is intended as the Standard in oll weights, and with its divisions and multiples, to supersede the use of what are now called Avoirdupois, Apothecaries and Troy Weighte.
Each of the foregoing Standards is divi- ded decimally, and larger units are also formed by multiples of 10, 100, &c. The successive subordinate parts are designa- ted by the prefixes Deci, Centi and Milli; the successive multiples by Deka, Hecto, Kilo and Myria ; each having its own nu- merical signification, as will be more clear- ly seen in the tables hereinafter given.
The terms nsed may, at first sight, have a formidable appearance, seem difficult to pronounce, and to retain in memory, and to be, therefore, objectionable ; but with a lit- tle attention and use, the apprehended dif- ficulty will be found more apparent than real, as has been abundantly proved by ex- perience. The importance, also, of con- formity in the use of commercial terms, on the part of the United States, with the practice of the many nations in which the system, with its present nomenclature, has i already been adopted. must greatly over- balance the comparatively elight objectiou alluded to.

Discount and Premium.
When a person buys an article for $1.00- 20 per cent off, (or discount,) and sells it again for $1,00, he makes a profit of 25 per cent. on his investment. Thus: He pays 80 cents and sells for $1,00-a gain of 20 cents. or 25 per cent of 80 cents. And for any transaction where the sale or purchase of gold, silver, or currency is concerned, the following rules will apply in all cases.
RULE 1st .- To find premium when dis- count is given : Multiply 100 by rate of discount and divide by 100, less rate of dis- count.
RULE 2d .- To find discount when pre- mium is given. Multiply the rate of interest by 100. and divide by 100, plus the rate of premium.
Suppose A has $140 in currency, which he wishes to exchange for gold, when gold is 27 per cent. premium, how much gold should he receive ? In this case the pre- mium is given, consequently we must find the discount on A's currency and subtract it from the $140. as per rule 2d. showing the discount to be a trifle more than 21 per cent. and that he should receive $110.60 in gold.

Facts on Advertising.
The advertisements in an ordinary num- ber of the London Times exceed 2.500. The annual advertising bills of one London frm are ssid to amount to $200,000; and three others are mentioned who each annually expend for the purpose $50.000. The ex- pense for advertising the eight editions of the "Encyclopredis Britannia" is said to have been ¿15,000.
In large cities nothing is more common than to see large business cetablishments. which seem to have an immense advantage over all competitors, by the wealth, expe- rience, and prestige they have acquired. drop gradually out of public view, and be succeeded by firms of a smaller capital. more energy, and more determined to have the fact that they sell such and such com- modities known from one end of the land to the other. In other words, the establish- ments advertise ; the old die of dignity .- The former are ravenous to pass out of ob- scurity into publicity ; the latter believe that their publicity is so obvious that it cannot be obscured. The first understar.l that they must thrust themselves upon public attention, or be disregarded; the second, having once obtained public atten- tion, suppose they have arrested it perina- nently; while, in fact. nothing is more char- acteristic of the world than the ease with which it forgets.
Stephen Girard, than whom no shrewder business man ever lived, used to say : I have always considered advertising liber- ally and long to be the great medium of success in business, and the prelude to wealth. And I have made it an invariable rule too, to advertise in the dullest times as well as the busiest ; long experience having taught me that money thus spent is well laid out; as by keeping my business continually before the public it has secured me many sales that I would otherwise have lost.

Brilliant Whitewash.
Many have heard of the brilliant stucco whitewash on the east end of the Presi- dent's house at Washington. The follow- ing is a recipe for it ; itis gleaned from the National Intelligencer, with some addi- tional improvements learned by experi- ments : Take half a bushel of nice un- Hacked lime, slack it with boiling water, cover it during the process to keep in the steam. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or strainer, and add to it a peck of salt, previously well dissolved in warm wa- ter : three pounds of ground rice, boiled to a thin paste, and stirred in boiling hot ; half a pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and a pound of clean glue, which bas been pre- viously dissolved by soaking it well, and then hanging it over a slow fire, in a small kettle within a large one filled with water. Add five gallons of hot water to the mixture, stir it well. and let it stand a few days cov- ered from the dirt.
It should be put on right hot ; for this purpose it can be kept in a kettle on a portable firmace. It is said that about a pint of this mixture will cover a square yard upon the outside of a house if proper- ly applied. Brushes more or less small may be used according to the neatness of the job required. It answers as well as oil paint for wood, brick or stone, and is cheaper. It retains its brilliancy for many years. There is nothing of the kind that will compare with it, either for inside or outside walls.
Coloring matter may be put in and made of any shade yon like. Spanish brown stirred in will make red pink, more or less deep according to the quantity. A delicate tinge of this is very pretty, for inside walls. Finely pulverized common clay, well mixed with Spanish brown, makes a reddish stone color. Yellow-ochre stirred in makes yel- low wash, but chrome goes further, and makes a color generally esteemed prettier. In all these cases the darkness of the shades of course is determined by the quantity of coloring used. It is difficult to make rules, because tastes are different. It would be best to try experiments on a shingle and let it dry. We have been told that green must not be mixed with lime. The lime de- stroys the color. and the color has an effect on the whitewash, which makes it crack and peel. When walls have been badly smoked, and you wish to have them a clean white. it is well to squeeze indigo plenti- fully through a bag into the water you use, before it is stirred in the whole mixture. If a larger quantity than five gallons be wanted, the same proportion should be ob- served.

How to get a Horse out of a Fire.
The great diffienity of getting horses from a stable where surrounding buildings are in a state of conflagation, is well known .- The plan of covering their eyes with a blan- ket will not always succeed.
A gentleman whose horses have been in great peril from such a cause, having tried
in vain to save them, hit upon the expedi- ent of having them harnessed as though go- ing to their usual work; when, to his aston- ishment, they were led from the stable without difficulty.
The Chemical Barometer.
Take a long narrow bottle, such as an old- fashioned Eau-de-Cologne bottle, and put into it two and a half drachms of camphor, and eleven drachms of spirits of wine ; when the camphor is dissolved, which it will readily do by slight agitation, add the following mixture: Take water, nine drachms; nitrate of potash (saltpetre) thirty-eight grains ; and muriate of am- monia (sal ainmoniac) thirty-eight grains. Dissolve these salts in the water prior to mixing with the camphorated spirit; then shake the whole well together. Cork the bottle well, and wax the top, but after- wards make a very small aperture in the cork with a red-hot needle. The bottle may then be hung up, or placed in any stations- ry position. By observing the different appearances which the materials assume. as the weather changes, it becomes an ex- cellent prognosticator of a coming storm or of a sunny sky.
Leech Barometer.
Take an cight ounce phial, and put in it three gills of water, and place in it a healthy leech, changing the water in summer once a week, and in winter once in a fortnight. and it will most accurately prognosticate the weather. If the weather is to be fine. the leech lies motionless at the bottom of the glass and coiled together in a spiral form ; if rain may be expected, it will creep up to the top of its lodgings and remain there till the weather is settled ; if we are to have wind, it will move through its habi- tation with amazing swiftness, and seldom goes to rest till it begins to blow hard ; if a remarkable storm of thunder and rain is to succeed, it will lodge for some days before ahnost continually out of the water, and di-cover great uneasiness in violent throes and convulsive-like motions : in frost as in clear summer-like weather it lies constantly at the bottom: and in snow as in rainy weather it pitches its dwelling in the very mouth of the phial. The top should be cov- ered over with a piece of muslin.
TO MEASURE GRAIN IN A BIN .- Find the nuniber of cubic feet, from which deduct one-fifth. The remainder is the number of bustels-allowing, however, one bushel extra to every 224. Thus in a remainder of 201 there would be 225 bushels. In a re- mainder of 418 there would be 450 bushels &c.
