Former United States Minister to Norway and Sweden Gives History of the Metric System Adopted There. ' Strong testimony to the ease with Which the change from the old system of weights and measures to the metric system was made in Sweden and Nor- Way a quarter of a century ago was given recently by Major Thomas B. Ferguson, who served with distinction as the American. M er to Sweden and Norway from 1893 to 1898, When asked about the reform which those countries worked in their standards of weights and measures Major Ferguson pointed to a large scale which stood upon his desk. Two Markings on Scales. "You will observe," said he, "that this scale is marked in two ways. The metric units are indicated on one side of the line and the old Swedish pounds and their divisions on the other. The hand of the scale, when it is in use, shows at a glance the weight of the article placed upon it, not only in the old Swedish pounds but in the metric kilograms and their decimal division. In order to facilitate the change from" the old system to the new the Swedish Government marked the metric equiva- lents on any scale sent to it by any citi- zen. At first the merchant or housewifa would weigh articles by the old stand- ards, but would note the metsic equiva- lent until they were as familiar with the one as with the other. "The period of transition in Norway occupied about three years. During the first year or two the persons using the old weights had them corrected by the Government, so that the 'skaalpund,' which is about one English pound, was increased to one-half kilogram. The old steel yards were changed to make the marks of weight on the beam equal to one half kilogram for each old pound. The bushel measure for corn was ad- justed so that one hundred and forty, liters made a bushel, and seventy liters made a half bushel. I obtained in 1896 a report from the Norwegian officer of | assay* and control on the results of the change in Norway. This report says in part: " 'The change from the old system of weights and measures to the metric system did not cause any trouble of serious importance" Knowledge of the metric system was imparted by instruc- tion in the schools, by publishing prac- tical models and by means of popular notes in the calendar. The law for the introduction of the metric system into Norway was issued on May 22, 1875. From July 1, 1879, this system was ac- tually introduced for public trade and commerce. From this date its employ- ment by the customs 'office and for cal- culating every kind of public fees be- come obligatory. All Done In Three Years. "From July 1, 1882, the metric law was fully enforced. Consequently, from that date the use of the new system has been obligatory in Norway for the purchase and sale of wares and the payment of fees and all other trans- actions. The period of transition from the old system to the new one com- prised three years. After this all cor- rections of measures were forbidden. (It should be observed that even before the metric law of 1875 was passed the weight in grams had been used as an apothecary weight in Norway from July, 1871, having been introduced by the law of May 3, 1871.) "'It is beyond doubt that in Norway the metric system has proved to be practical and easy, useful and well adapted for every kind of trade, and certainly nobody in the country would wish to return to the old and compli- cated system Whether the introduc- tion of the metric system in Norway has had any direct influence on the cammerce Is a question which may be ri er hard to solve, except that ura nat- ly the use of the system has facili- tated the intercourse with other coun- tries which are using it'" Major Ferguson was asked what had beerr<thi Tesults of the change in Swe- den. He replied: . 0 in 1896 1 obtained from the For- eign Office in Sweden a report from the y and' control office. I have made e extracts from. that repdrt: The metric has been used exclu< sively at the custom house and post- f s and for the railway traffic of the kingdom since the beginning of 1881. The surveyor: to state the. size of the plots in the old »asure in their representation of their surveys. The proclamation of the Board of Assay containing the detail- ed regulations regarding the imple- ments for weighing and measuring was published Nov. 13, 1 , and was fol- lowed by a royal proclamation concern- ing fees on Feb, 27, 1880, "'As guides for the change into the metric system of smeasures many. pri- vate publications' were issued and a variety of scales and schedules far the new measure. The new measures and weights were not universally used un- til the period of transition was com- pleted. After that the only lawful standards were the metric scales. No trouble of importance was observed in the transition, although prices were naturally fixed in many places, espec- fally in the distant provinces, accord- ing to the old measures; but the new nieasures were used exclusively in de- livering the goods. v " "Practically, 'the metric system has proved satisfactory. The only additions to it after 1879 were the introduction of a measure of capacity of one and one-half pectoliters for measuring. dry wares and the denomination ton for one thousand kilos and deciton for a tenth part of a ton or one hundréd kilos. "For the requirements of the postoffice spe- cial weights of 15 and 125 grams were used, Several retailers expressed a wish for a special name of half a kilo, which would correspond nearly to the old pound, but no wish was ever ex- pressed for the re-establishment of the old system." °~ "Count Douglas, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in transmiting this report, wrote me: 'With regard 'to your ques- tion (as to the effect of the metric system upon commerce), it might be mentioned, in addition to the Swedish memorial, that, according to the opin- joirof experts, the adaption of the met- ric system has proved profitabla to the commerce of Sweden, as far as can be Judged.'

Doughty, C. M. G,, has re- turned to Ottawa from his visit te Louisiana and Mexico, with an excep- mation. The ancient connection between New France and the Mississippi Valley has resulted in a remarkadly large number of documents of iaterest to the former finding their resting-place in the latter region. Some of these are of such Importance that it is a subject for some surprise that they were allowed to leave Canada. From Louisiana a flow of documents seems to have taken place; many of these are ecclesiastical, referring to affairs connected with the see of Quebec. Dr. Doughty spent most of his time in Louisiana, but paid a brief visit to Mekico, got an idea of the nature of the Mexican Archives-- which comprise 70,000 volumes. The resuits are most valuable. Let- ters exist there from Frontenac, Laval, LaSalle, Tonti, La Forest, Allonez, Hoc- quart, Vaudreuil, Bigot; even from King 'Louis himself, as well as from Sir Guy Carleton and Murray. One interesting document is a petition containing the signatures of Abraham Martin, Coull- lard and Hebert, three out of the eight original settlers who came out with Champlain. Hebert was the first man to cultivate the soil in New France. No specimens of the signatures of these pioneers has hitherto been known to exist. Another is La Salle's last letter to Tonti, Among the documents discov- ered are a number of Nova Scotia Church records, taken away by the Acadians, at the time of their expul- sion. Many of these will be of great value in the researches which the De- partment is prosecuting into Acadian genealogies. Important discoveries were also made among the three thousand Kaskaskia documents, of which Dr. Doughty ex- amined a thousand. One thing which he found was a register of sentences passed by Governor Clark, which throw much light on the administration of Justice in his time, and go to show that the general impression as to the absence of law and order in that era is incor- rect. Many of the papers on Indian af- fairs properly belong to Canadian af- fairs; indeed, one letter from Sir Guy Carleton actually belongs to the series of letters on Indian affairs, publishd in the last volume of Archives, and the place in which it should be inserted can be seen- on examination. An odd find was a project for the Government of Illinois, a proposal for an elementary form of administration, which is writ- ten in French, but on English paper and in an English handwriting: it is un- signed and undated. Copyist are al- ready at 'work on many of these finds. A feature of Dr. Doughty's work was his arrangement of a network of re- ciproc¢al services. At Tulane University in Louisiana, for example, he found that the authorities have forty boxes of papers which have never been examin- ed, and he has induced them to have these looked over and such of them as refer to Canada copied and forwarded here. From St. Louis will come in due time a catalogue of documents in the hands of the Historical Society of that city. In Detroit, where there are many records of interest to Canada, and In many other places he has engaged the co-operation of local workers in the field of research. So far as the Mexi- can Archives are concerned Dr. Dough- ty has secured the ald of the Carncgie Institution and the University of Texas in extracting such portions as are of Canadian interest. These arrangements are reciprocal, Dr. Doughty being able to assist these investigators in many matters, especially with regard to docu- ments in London and Paris, where the Canadlan Archives Bureau maintains staffs of copyists, who at no extra trouble can render valuable assistance to investigators on this side of the At- lantic. Precious Metals of Canada. Mr. Ingall, in his summary report of the mineral production of Canada for 1905, the figures of which have already been published, says the increase of 14 per cent. during the past year is the more remarkable as the falling off in the output of gold from the Yukon continues, amounting to over $2,000,000 in value. Of the gold products of the Dominisn the Yukon is ceedited with 57 'per cent, British Columbia 40 per cent, and the other provinces three per | tent. In Ontario activity was evident| in prospecting and developing both in| the old districts in the eastern parts of | the province and in the newer gold- | bearing districts west of Thunder Bay In British Columbia the dry season af- fected the production of placer gold. The Yukon continued to fall off, and will do so until under more favorable conditions the permanent forms of mining lnwer grade bodies of gravel are fully established. British Columbia and Ontario, since the development of mining at Cobalt, are now credited with 98 per .cent. of the silver produced in Canada. A Century Old, Surrounded by relatives personal friends, Mrs celebrated her 100th birthday at the Aged Women's Home. Born on the 21st of March, 1806, in Kent, England, she came to America in 1844, on a sailing vessel, and after spending a few years in Pittsburg, Pa, and Cincinnati, Ohio, came to St. Catharines in 1853, and fin- ally settled in Toronto in 1856. After- wards going home to England, she stay- ed for a visit of two years, and again visited London when the London bridge was opened by King Willlam, Flowers "and loving messages 'from a wide circle of. friends brightened the day, and the most interesting incident of the day was when she held a little great-grand-niece, who was just a year old that day--ninety-ifine years be- tween, for 'her photograph.

A procession of prehistoric four wheelers drawn by centenarian horses, might excusakly have been mistaken for Methuselah, drew up at a house in Euston road, London, the other day. The vehicles were simply packed to suffocation by men quite as ancient as the drivers. They were so old "hat on alighting they did mot hear shouted warning about' the steps, because they were deaf, and they stumbled badly be- cause they were half blind. Also because some of them were cripe pled with rheumatism they could hard- ly crawl up the path to the front door. But they assisted each other with much kindness. Mow that sad little spectacle was not, as might be supposed, a "grandfathers' show." It was, as a matter of fact, a gathering of old cabmen at the Dr. Forbes Winslow's Hospltal, where they hoped that the dootor"s scrutiny of their infirmities migh' result in their getting a small pension from the Cabmen's Benevolent Association. , When all the men were assembled up- stairs the tale of their ages was 2,070 years, the oldest of them being a vet- eran of eighty. And, this sprightly youth, who was one of the youngest- looking, had been driving his cab up to a few years ago. .Dr. Forbes Winslow sat in a back room and called for the men one by one. And they came in, halting and peering at-the doctor with their bleared old eyes, and craning their necks that their deaf ears might catch the verdict. Most of them were so deaf that the doctor could comment freely before them. "It's the weather," he sald, "that does it. Some of these men have been out in eyery kind of weather, day after day, for forty and fifty years. "The rain gets Inio their ears, and makes them deaf. They get cold after until it settles down into chronic broachitis, and they become hopelessly rheumatic. These cases are all alike People who hail a cab and drive where they want to do not realize the suf- ferings of ,the men who drive them." Deafness, falling eyesight, failing heart, rheumatism; and memories, too, were bad. Several of them, asked what the present year was, had to scratch their white heads before they could re- member. One old man, who had been driving a cab for fifty years, said, "My mind is that bad, sir, that sometimes I has to pull up, and, begging the fares' pardon, ask themr where they told me to drive to." After their examination, Dr. Forbes Winslow asked most of them how trade was, and all agreed it was not what it was when they began, forty or fifty years ago. And the police? Their weather-beaten, frost-bitten, purple old faces broke into a thousand wrinkles. Ah! they kept clear of them--if they could. But they did not all smile at this quesiion.: "Old Jenkins," fon instance, who is 73, said that the police took his horses. His horses were very old, and the police said they must be destroyed. "But I loved those horses," said the old man, "and I could not fll-treéat a horse, sir, I could not" And the poor old fel- low, after a gallant struggle, broke down and cried This brave 'old chap was going back to his work, for he was still driving. Though 73, he preferred to'stand down and give some less hearty old fellow a chance for a pension. Perhaps the most interesting of them all was Harrls, who had driven his cab for fifty-eight years. He drove it until eight weeks ago. He remembered many changes--remembered the time when omnibuses and tramcars did not exist, and the vehicle he himself drove was eniered from the back. He recalled, too, that he once found £29 in gold in a cab, and returned the same to a gentleman in Park street, who had said that anything he could do for him in the future he would do. Unfortunately, he had forgotten the genlleman's name. The Late Gen. Gatacre. The death was recently announced of Major-Gen. Sir William Forbes Gatacre, aged 63 years. Gen. Gatacre served with distinction in the Soudan, but his per- sistent {li-fortune in the Boer War dimmed his reputation as a soldier. Major-Gen. Sir Willlam Forbes Gat- acre, XK. C. B, D. 8.

Force of Habit. A, courtly old gentleman ofthe old school, Mr. De Vere Howard, 'recently found himself an honored guest in the gorgeous Grosvenor Square residence of the Snookses. His host took him over the mansion, and took care that he should not miss any of the magnificence. "We've even got a musical arrange- ment in the bathroom," he remarked casually, "so that you can take your bath to the accompaniment of sweet music. Good idea, isn't ft?" The old gentleman sald it was, and | announced his_ intention of trying It next morning. When he came down tp breakfast they asked him if he likéd it, He sniffed in aristocratic disgust.

On the day he had concluded to quit coon hunting after a last try Chris Stong, York's most successful coon hunter, fell from a tree fifty feet and was instantaneously killed. Christian Albert Stong, who was 42 years of age, was born In Vaughan Township, in which he was raised by his uncle, with whom he lived until he was 9 years of age. Then he went to live with his grandfather, a farmer, and worked for him until the latter's death, about eight or ten years ago. Chris Was a good hand at the work, but his real inclinations were always toward sports; he was quite an athlete and took part in several races besides rid« ing horses at races, Deceased was known far and wide as a hunter of coons, In which pursuit he professionally started after his grandfather's death. Some eight years ago he met with a serious accident, which folks thought would end fatally He had mounted a tree some 60 feet high, and was chopping a econ out with an axe, which slipped, with the resuit that Stong missed his hold and fell te the ground, sustaining internal injuries, and it is sald that he had never been the same man since. He married twice and leaves a widow and three children, the eldest of whom, a boy, aged 22, Is in the Northwest. Deceased had a wide circle of friends and was much liked, Chris Stong, during the 20° years in which he hunted coons, is estimated to have captured something like 2,500 coons. He was known for unerring instinct in detecting thelr hiding places and few escaped him. His first pro- ceeding was to look for claw marks, His method of climbing trees was peculiar and effective. As a young man, he worked for a telephona com- pany as a pole climber, and he used the same means; his boots being equip- ped with spurs and a rope attached to his waist belt, going around the tree trunk, the rope being also attached to shoulder harness that he wore. It was said by those who watched him that he was almost able to walk up a tree. For use in dealing with his quarry he carried a brace of revolvers, a hatchot and other tools. As he went up his experience was such that he could tell by the sound of the spur just where the hollow in the tree began, and could cut a hole fn the exact place to locate the coon or coons. Then he might either thrust his hand into the hole and seize a coon to throw down to the waiting dog. or lower into the hollow from the hole above used by the. coon to go in and out, a piece of stick tied In the middle by a length of rope, Aroused by the object bobbing among them, the coons would begin to scramble about. When the hunter felt the weight of one of them resting upon the stick he would begin to pull and force the coon to climb. On getting him on the top the hunter would either despatch the coon with a revolver or seize him and throw him to the ground. By the use of his methods he has secured as many as eight. of the game animals, some of which weigh 40 pounds and over, in a single haul. Chris. Stong was sometimes criticiz- ed for what was termed his butchery ot coons, but he always held that the coon was a pest, killing poultry and ravag- ing grain In field and granary Tha pufsuit was a profitable one to him from the meney view, as he was able to se- cure 'good returns for the pelts, which had been averaging in value over $2 Among the points in his record was the capture of 187 coons In the winter of 1902-3. Tn 1904, at Sharon, he took 24 coons in 11-2 hours, his greatest achievement for quick work, : Art Treasure For Exhibition.
