"Weights and Measures" in the Confederate States.
--A suggestion, we believe was introduced into the Macon Convention for a reform in the system and language of weights and measures in the South.
The labor of making these divisions on a philosophical basis and devising a perfect and analogous nomenclature has been performed by the French with singular acuteness and exactness.
The spherical distance from the equator to the poles has been carefully ascertained to be 5,130,740 toises, 6 feet 39,459--100,000 parts.
This divided by 10,000,000 parts gives the metre, (which is 39,371--1,000 English inches.) This is the unit of their measures of length: its square and cube are taken as surface, capacity, and solidity.
The grammar, which is the unit of the French weights, is the 100th part of a cubic metre at 30,20 degrees temperature Fahrenheit, or 4 degrees centigrade — the melting point of frozen water.
The litre, French, for measuring capacity, is the cube of one-tenth of a metre
