Ten inches to the Foot.
Prof. W. Le Conte Stevens, acting
on the theory that the metric system
can only be made popular in this mun-
try by adopting its decimal plan while
changing the present names of feral)
lnr weights and nxcarurrm as little as
possible, suggests the following
changes: Let the yard be made
equal to the metro: let the. foot be
made the fourth instead of the third
putt of u \ord and let it have ten
iusleurl of twwelu inches; lei the
pound be made equal to half a kilo
gram: let the quart equul the litre;
let the ion be Lilllli kilograms: let
the. pint. sullen. peck. and bushel be
defined in terms of the quart. Prof.
Stevens points out that in this way
the inclh would be shortened less than

Decrease of Consumption.
General statements as in the pros

consumption are nlwuys interesting
but it is much better to have specific
statistical inft‘muuilon upon the sub

the years before 1857 the annual death
me from consumption was nearly or
quite four thousand to a. million in
Mbltsnte. The rate had declined al-
