PROF. CHARLES DAVIES of Columbia Col
lege has been lectaring in New York against
the proposed adoption of the metric system
into the United States. He says:
Let us suppose the metric system to be
adopted by law, and every other system eX-
cluded-iOr without such exclusion the whole
thing would be a pcrplexity and farce.
What follows; we have blotted out, from the
mind OF the nation, the loot and all knowledge
OF every measure into which it enters, as
unit. We have expnnged the yard, used in
connection with the arm, more or less IN cv-
cry family; and the pace, the unit ana Suide
OF the farmer, tor an approximate measure
that will not supply the place OF eithef. Nv
ery lot of ground 25 feet mont, by lCO Ieet
deem. must be described as follows: metres,
decimetres, and 2 centimelres front by ~
metres. 4 decimetreS, and centimetreS deep.
Thus the description OF every such lot Will re-
uuire three different units and six words. In
all conveyances and descriptions of land, the
translation from one language to the other
would occasion great trouble and difficulty.
Let us see how we shall recognize the earth,
in its new dimensions. Its diameter, Instead
of 5000 miles, in round numbers, will be 12,.
672,O00 metres; and its circumference, about
SO, S0l 1856 metres and decimetres The
acre is also gone, and with it all its multiples
ana SuD-lnultipleS. Since the commence
ment of the present century the pub
lie lands have been surveyed aud
laid out in townships six miles
square, each containing, Of course, thirty.
six square miles, or 24,040 acres
The side of each township, by the new sys-
TEN, would contain 9,504 metres, (instead oil
| six miles,) and its area 921 geo ares. All the
lands, from the Ohio River to the Pacific O.
cean, have been surveyed, decided, and record
| ed in the units OF the square mile and the acre
What will be the labor and the confusion o.
translating every deed and record into the
language of the metre and the area? VIZ
shoald scarcely know orr own farms by their
new names. If the introduction of the metric
system produced only change in the name:
of the units, leaving their values the same; or
if it altered the values only, preserving the
names, the difficulties would be comparativel!
small. But, unfortunately, we must change
both ideas and words-the foundations o
systems and the language by means of which
these S, stems are developed and made known
These double changes, made at the same time
| are very serious, because there is no though
or word in one language having an exact syn
Onym in the other.
