in terms of the common systems. All
the haudbooks of useful knowledge
devote more or less space To the sub
jrol Scientific works and even mnga-
zines and other publications treating
scientific subjects i'm popula. way,
use the metric nomenclature to a great
er or less extent
The system derives its name from
the metre which it was intended by the
French scientists who devised it to be
the ten miliouth part Of the quadrant
of the meridian passing through Bar
celuna and Dunkirk. The metre is the
equivalent of 39S7O79 inches. The Are
is the equivalent of O2471143 OF an acre.
The Litre is the equivalent of .26ilS6S7
of a United States gallon. The gramme
is the equivalent of l5.43234S4 grains.
The nomenclature of the system is as
simple as the decimal notation. For
the subdivisions of the unit either Of
weight or measure the Latin ordinals
are prefixed to the name of the unit:
Thus decimeter, the tenth of meter;
Centimeter, the hundredth of meter;
and milimeter the thousandth of
meter. And so litre, decilitre, centilitre
and mililitre; gramme, decigramme,
centigramme and milligramme. For the
multiples of the units the Greek car
dinals are used: Thus decametre, hec-
tometre, kilometre and myriametre,
ten. one hundred, one thousand and ten
thousand metres respectively. Being
based on the decimal notation, reduc-
ton of any measure from one denomin-
alton to another is accomplished by
simply moving the decimal point one
way or the other in the same way that
1857 dollars becomes 1861 cents or
1857 dimes or 1857 mills or 1.2561

CAYPLEss' TESTIMONY.


Edgar Caypless' testimony before the
Senate Committee having under consi-
Iteration the bill apportioning the Ha-
waiian senators to the short terms is
more remarkable for the darkening of
counsel, the inaccuracies and the mis-
statement of fact by innuendo contain
ed in it than for any other particulars.
To begin with, in reply to the question
of the chairman, How long have you
lived in Honolulu" he replied: About
five years" Mr.. Caypless came to the
Hawaiian Islands on the hoodoo steam
ship City of Columbia which arrived at
Hno September 6, 1898 and at Honolulu
September 10, 1898. That is not yet
four years ago. IS he has not been in
Honolulu or the territory more than
half the time since, it is drawing the
long bow almost to the breaking point
to say he has lived here about five
years"
His statements regarding the exist
ence and status of political parties here
was clearly misrepresentation, and that
it was not intentional can scarcely be
believed. His testimony on this point
is as follows:
Senator Mallory: What are your
politics? To what party do you be-
long?"
Mr.. Caypless: Il belong to what is
known as the Home Rule Republican
party That is probably the Republican
party of the Island"
Senator Mallory: 1T is a hyphenated
party, is 1.-THE "Home-Rule-Repu
can party?"
Mr.. Caypless: Yes sir. The question
is, which is the Republican party?"
There is no question as to which is
the Republican party as Caypless well
knew. There are two distinct party or
CARNATIONS, one of which was re-
presented in the National Republican
Convention in 1900, and is represented
in the Republican National Committee.
The other was not represented in any
national convention and is not repre-
scented on any national committee; nor
so far as is known has it ever sought
&c be so represented. There is no ques-
ton of which is the Republican party,
No question has ever been raised until
Caypless sought to raise it by innuendo,
not daring to raise it directly.
His testimony regarding the demo-
cratic party was as false in suggestion
as the other. In answer to questions he
said:
There was a Democratic party a the
last election. l understand that the
Democratic party proper does not exist
now, except by combination with the
Home Rule party. There was no De-
mocrat elected to either house"
There was Democratic party at the
last election which polled 1850 votes for
David DENOMINATION for delegate to
Congress. 1t elected two men to the le-
gislature who were not on any other
ticket. In several other cases men
elected to the legislature were nomin-
ated Independently by the Democrats
and Home Rulers The Democratic
party has a territorial organization; was
Convention; is represented in the Ma
tional Democratic Committee, and has
taken no steps to combine with the
Home Rule or any other party. This
is not a country without Democrats as
Senator Burton deduced from Cayp-
less testimony and with the assent by
silence of Caypless.

A TEST.

A means of distinguishing death
from catalepsy has been devised by,Dr
Icard of Marseilles, and submitted to
the Academic des Sciences. He injects
iuorscin, strong coloring matter that
is not poisonous, into the veins. A
gram of fluOrescin solution will color
$4,000 litres of water. If there is any
circulation the body will turn grass
green in two minutes, but the color
passes away in a couple of hours with
out doing any harm.

TOO MUCH MONEY.
Riches Drive Alfred Peat Into

business of Aired Peat has increased
at the rate of million dollars a year
during the past two years Two days
ago he was committed TO an insane asy-

the cause of his affiietion.
The news OF Mr.. Peat's sad mental
collapse came as a great shock TO his
friends, particularly to his neighbors at
Greenwich, Conn. where he lived in ell
egant style on the large estate occupied
by Andrew Carnegie one summer.
1t was two years ago that Mr.. Peat
purchased the large Johnson estate near
the Fairfield County Golf club He be
came a member of the Indian Harbor
Yacht club. owned a steam yacht an
automobile and many fine horses
The first knowledge that any one had
of his condition was two weeks ago
when he went to a sanitarium at Flush
ing Just before he went away he dis
tributed barrels of apples to all persons
with whom he traded. and told friends
that he intended TO build two green
houses and a Iaree kennel for dogs he
had purchased at the dog show but
these things did not arouse any suspic-
ion that his mind was urba Ianced La
ter it was noticed that he acted queerIy.
