THE METRICAL CARAT.
New System of Weighing Precious
Stones In Europe.

New System of Weighing Precious
Stones In Europe.
An important change was made I'm
the system of weighing precious stones
by the agreement of European jewel
ers and lapidlsts which is now in eff
feet
France, Switzerland, Norway. Rou-
mania, Bulgaria and Spain entered
into the agreement TO establish n met
rical carat which would fit into the
metrical system, now so generally used
abroad The old carat of 3.167 grains
troy weighed 205.3 mllligramS. while
the new carat will weigh an even 200
milligrams, or 3OSG grains troy. ac-
cordlng 10 the old system.
The change is being considered in
every country where precious stones
are articles Of commerce. and various
European states. In addition TO those
mentioned above, which have already
acknowledged the reform. are about
to adopt the metrical carat.
OF course if any of the larger and
weather. nations-England, for in
stance-were TO object to any altera-
ton the confusion would tend TO ham.
per trade, but the change is more than
welcome on the continent, where the
metrical system has been in use for
so many years that the old arbitrary
weights are almost forgotten and all
measurements have been simpliilcd
into a decimal system.-Chicago Trib-
une.
