In the meantime, out on the Sas- katchewan prairie. the frozen corpse of a. husband and father lies with foolish, grinning face turned forever to its Makerâ€"and on the heads of 'the Gov- ernment and people of Canada, who all‘ made a profit on the whiskey that pro- duced that tragedy. must rest the re- sponsibility for that eternal mockery. Oh. yes “9 must have whiskeyâ€"our statesmen say soâ€" hough the vast ma.- Jorlty of Canadians hate the tradic as they hate the hell that it packs with misery. Yes, “vested righfs must be protected," “a. legitimate business must not be crushed,” and “the revenue of the country must be kept up.” Death, disability and diseas: must be perpetuated, to the advancement of medical science and the “enrichment” of our country. The dance of death must be kept up. Hell and the coffers of the country must be filledâ€"the one with the souls of Canadian manhood, the other with the inheritance 01' widows and orphans.

'II‘he unit of weight is the gramme, of which 500 are, roughly speaking, equal :to a. pound. The unit of capacity is the litre, about equal to a quart. The following table is explanatory: Prefixes.

It will be Prof. Maclennan's business to stimulate and organize a feeling favor- able to the new system. The Creation of the System. About the beginning of the eighteenth century dissatisfaction with existing systems of measuring weights, capac- ity and areas began to be manifested '(‘by scientific men without regard to unationality. Not only was every sys- !tem then in use held to 'be defective, f‘but hardly ‘two were alike. Moreover, ;units of capacity had no reference to :units of area or weight. One spoke of "0 (VII '1" D I ! 7 inches. pounds and quarts as one spoke ‘ of 'cab-bages, kings and sealing wax, ,with no intimation of the vital rela- Etion among them. Among the English- ;men who found the English system iwanting was James Watt, ‘the invent- ; or of the steam engine, who suggested j the adOption of the Paris pound as the junit of weight, and the length of the f seconds pendulum in Paris as the unit : of time. He proposed that all sub- . divisions and multiples of these stand- . ards should be decimally connected. As ‘ a result of these and other representa- 5tions, the Academy of Science, Paris, I devised a. system, known as the metric i system. This was in 1789. Four years 3 later the system was adopted, and} ever since has been compulsory in France. The basis of the metric sys- tem is the metre. roughly 40 inches. exactly one ten-millionth part of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian. Water at a certain heat was the basis of the tables of capacity and Weight.
