the world at large. The advance to
the metric system under this bill will
not so much affect the making of
things as 1t will govern the merchan.
dising of things by measure.
In contrast to our present stand
ards, which are complex and unrelat.
ed, the metric system is simple and,
based upon the decimal system like
our currency, its units are logically
inter-related. There are three fun.
damental units, the meter, the liter
and the gram, and all three are deci.
nally divided or decimally multiplied.
Both multiplication and division are
automatic. You move the decimal
point and-prestol you have it.

~ w person. AND III you
should set out to learn them-beware
1t was Sir Hiram Maxim, the great
inventor, who once said, 81 cannot I'M
derstand why we stick to these weights
and measures. There was only one
man who knew the English weights
and measures; he studied them for
thirty years and he just knew them
all when the poor fellow went mad
and diedl"
Long ago we simplified the currency
system and in 17S6 led the world in
adopting the decimal units of money
in place of an absurd coinage of
pounds, shillings, pence and farthings.
But for some strange reason, we have
Jagged behind the rest of the world
in extending the decimal system,
which is so simple and easily COM
puted, to other factors in our daily
life. When James Watt, the Scotch
inventor, announced the plan in 1888
upon which the metric system is
based, Washington, Jefferson, Robert
Morris and Gouverneur Morris immedi-
ately Endorsed its adoption for our
weights, measures and coinage. Wash
ington, in his first message to con-
gress, urged its adoption, but its ap-
plication to our coinage only was
made In 1866, through the efforts of
Charles Sumner of Massachusetts the
metric system was made the legal
system in the United States
But the average American, seeming
ly welded to an outgrown tradition,
has preferred to go on using the old
cumbersome system. In the mean
time more than 100 countries of the
world have adopted the metric sys-
TEN and are enjoying a great advan-
tage in commerce, education and COM
mon world understanding thereby.
Only in Great Britain and America
are there human beings who are out
of step, commercially and economical
ly, with more than 1,000.000.000 of
the people of the world who are trad
ing on the metric basis. That we are
conscious of this handicap is shown
by the agitation by various organiza-
lions and individuals which has been
q
adoption of the metric system. The
states of Illinois, California, North
Dakota, Tennessee and Utah, with
combined population of 100000,
through their state legislatures, have
memerialized congress to adopt metric
standards. The General Federation of
Women's Clubs, which has a member
ship of 100000, at its national con-
vention at Grand Rapids, Mich, last
year, passed a resolution calling upon
congress to enact metric legislation as
soon as possible. More than 100000
petitions, urging the same legislation,
are pending before congress and some
time ago Congressman Fred Britten
of Illinois announced that he expected
to introduce in this session of con.
gress liberal metric standards bill
and press its passage.

Beecher's Good Wishes

story is told by Joseph Bucklin Bish-

Years." At Friday evening prayer
meeting-Mr. Bishop was present-a
man arose and with an air of swatch

asked Mr.. Beecher a Question-it be-

II should like to suppose" he said,
"the case of a man who lives an up
right and moral life; who is faithful
husband, a kind and generous father,
good citizen, taking part in all good
works, gives freely to charity; in
short, leads life above reproach. Yet
he is a pronounced disbeliever in
Christianity, never goes to church and
is nothing less than an atheist
"Now, Mr.. Beecher, l should like to
ask you: Where does that man go
when he dies?"
Without changing his position Mr..
Beecher with an engaging smile, re-
piled:

cause of delays and losses due to the
inequality between our standards and
the metric standards of other nations
and the difficulty in translating one In

InsuIin From Acorns

Insulin from acorns is now an ac-
complished fact, according to reports
from Germany. 1t will be placed on
the market soon, says an item reprint
ed in the Medical Journal and Rec
ord. This vegetable insulin will be
concentrated in tablet form, and will
be, it is expected, cheaper than the
type now gotten from animals.
Insulin has usually been derived
from the pancreas of freshly killed
animals, but, 1t is not confined to the
pancreas alone. Professor Brugsch of
Berlin, who discovered the way to
make insulin from acorns, found in
his researches that the substance oc-
