✦ Synopsis

Book Wotices. 395 price in "metros" or "varas." Your cordwood has to be converted from "cargos" and your hay or straw from "arrobas." So completely, however, has the metric system come into use in the purchase of ore that only in very remote regions does one ~till hear of the "marco." It must be observed, however, that in all bills which are to act in the nature of receipts for settlement, the controling factor of either weight or length must be in the metric system.

I believe that the United States should do all possible to advance the metric system, but frbm my experience in this most autocratic of republics, I do not believe, that should they make a compulsory law, either the advantages or apprehended difficulties would so immediately become apparent.

Yours truly, R. C. CANBY,
