The new system in the regularity of its
divisions, bears the same relative superiority
to our present arbitrary scale of weights and
measures as United States currency does to
English pounds, shllings and pence of the
DAYS of our grandfathers. The new method
at first sight seems complicated, and there
will De natural reluctance among conserva-
tive people to abandon the familiar scales.
The simplicity of the metric system will in
time, however, commend it to general favor.
1t has already been adopted by France, Ger
many, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy and
South America. 1t has been legalized in this
country and Great Britain, made obligatory
in British India, and will be soon universally
used in Russia.

The summit level of the Panama Railroad
Is only 262 feet above the sea, and it is be-
neved that much lower elevation might be
discovered in the near vicinity. Tide-water
makes from the Pacific to within about three
miles in direct line of the summit, while
the valley of the Rio Grande approaches,
with deep depression, to within stones
throw of the divide. The Panama Star and
Herald argues that the construction of ca
nal on this route is feasible.

CALIFORNIA has made remarkable pro.
gress in developing an extended system oi
railways. OF the four thousand miles of rail-
road in the Pacific states and territories the
golden land has nearly one-half. The fact
that California built over fourteen per cent.
of all the road constructed in the United
States during 1876 is proof of her industry in
that direction. The Southern Pacific is 60
ing rapidly forward. 1t is the intention to
extend the North Pacific Coast road up Rus
sian-river Valley, and ultimately to Hum
boldt Bay, tapping rich agricultural region
and the inexhaustible supply of redwood
timber around that bay. 1t is probable Gha
for 1877, as in 1916, the southern part of the
state will secure The lions share of new road

FROM some recently published statistics 1t
appears that Russia possesses greater re-
sources in horses available for military pur-
poses than any ether nation in Europe. Ger.
many comes next on the list, being possessed
OF an aggregate number of 1885,, ,231 horses of
all kinds. OF these no less than 9, ,269, ,329
belong to Prussia alone, and 1880 to the
Prnssian army. The Austro-Hungarian EN-
plre follows, owning within very few thou
sands as many steeds as Germany; but
France, which comes next on the list, cannot
count by nearly half million as many horses
as her neighbor on the east,
