It has been a great pleasure to meetauamter of the loading men in, Hongkong and learn that the Colony is not only officially in favour of the metric system, but is encouraging the Home Government to adopt it. This policy indicates the trucat patriotism, and ix, as it should be, in the interest of the general pubito and especially all British firms that purpose to continue to mara. facture and soll goods. As far back as 1816 a resolution was passed in Parliament providing for a comparison of the imperial standard yard with the standard moire. This piece of work was carefully performed, and in 1864, after the metric system bad become reasonably well known in Great Britain, its se was legalized by Act of Parlisurout for all transactions. In considering this anbject a Committee of the House of Commons reported that, it would

Tho osontial parts of the metric system wore worked out by Franch scientists during a period of years prior to December 10th, 1799, when, the system was formerly adopted by that Republic. It was later tried and accopted by the leading soientists of Europe, and fually won its way into general use among scientific men in Great Britain and other countries. In August, 1870, an International Commission composed of do- Logales from twenty-four different countries mot at Paris for the purpose of establishing Barenu of Weights and Measures. The work of this Commission led to the important later- national treaty signed on May 20, 1875.
