JANUARY 06- TOE AGITATION FOR TIIK MET- ', i ' ' RIG KY8TE.M. ?Tue,JseW York Herald. which Issue Paris edition, and whose publisher I a, resident of the French capital, Is conducting; an agitation for the com-rmlsory-'use fn this country, so far as constitutional limitation permit, of the tnetrie system of weight and meas- " urea, Invented In France over a hun dr4 years sujro. By way of preliminary ' tO" diacualoti of toe subject, we may state Chat system was once thought to be superior to all others In being founded on an invariable magni- tilde; one tenrmllllonth of the distance -Jtrom the equator to either pole; but ' that science has dispelled thin Illusion by showing thnt th l magnitude is not "m constant and that the distance orig ijhsjly taken a the basis of the metre '.v-isji Inaccurately measured. The orig ' Inators took their first step In 1790, Almost own the eve of the French Revo lutlon. and the work was completed ' eeyen years later. The system has , ' since been made compulsory by Ger tnany, Austria-Hungary. Utigulm, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Por tugal, Switzerland, Sweden, Nor way, Roumanlii. Servla, Mexico, Argentina, Braisil, Chile and Peru. ' ' Some of the objection to the pro posed congressional action are thus summarised In a memorandum submlt- edo Oov. Glenn Oy Mr. Wm.

" It would Uo appear that as a rula manufacturers, wherevor found, do not prefer the metric system for cal culations, the English units of both weight and measure better fulfilling the requirement of exactitude and simplicity. Or course, the business of the mer chant, the farmer, the druggist, the Jeweler, and Indeed who not, would be profoundly affected and unsettled by a change of system. Other aspects of the matter are strikingly dealt With in the Introduc tion to a recent work entitled, "The Metric Fallacy and the Metric Fail ure, by Samuel S. ua.it ana f reaencn A. Halsey, "an outgrowth of a paper presented to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers." We make these excerots; "The English system of weights and h;eauret 1 the exclusive standard of all Bngliah-speaklng countries, while the metric system is the exclusive standard of no nation on earthf. Anglo-Saxon nations are blessed with substantial uniformity of weights and measures, while others are ruined with a eonfuslon that I ft re proach to their civilisation. " "In no matter doe the contract Between the Anglo-Baxon and the latln races show to better advantage or more character istically than In thi. In France the policy of drift had, at the time of the Revolution, brought about a state of thing whlci can only be described ns chaoa. and In true French style the remedy was sought not In evolution, but in revolution, and the result was the metric system." "Nowhere has the system made material progress In Industry except when backed by the policeman's club. For more than a century It has been the pet of the legislator, and with the reiult that In France to-day Its most ardent advocate are catling for more laws to compel It use. by whole Industries that do not. and by the testimony of tnese same advocates will not, use It unless compelled to do so. We hear much of the unity of the Anglo-Saxon race-unity In language. In ruatoms, In laws. In populnr government In progress. In Ideala. In civilization In nothing is this unity more marked than In weights nnd measures, the foundation of thnt commercial and Industrial structure which others may Imitate hut cannot copy. Representative of their historic method" of development, foundation of thetr Industrial life nnd bond of union be tween all sections shall all these be dc atroyed .for this French fad?" A bill has been Introduced Into Con gress to require the use of the metric system in the work of customs officers and In the various other activities of the Federal government. Congress could do no more. If the agitation should obtain thlH degree of success. which at present seems highly Improb able, appeals to the State Legislatures would follow. ITnqur-stloimbly. the French ystem la more readily mastered by the school child than the English sytem, hut if It is less serviceable after It is learned, what are the odds? It Is found In the high school arithmetics now, and no one ha any objection to Its coming in to acceptance on Its merits, if it can. The CreAtor has endowed man with very little force as compared with the forces of nature. It's very little that a man ca,n do by the forces of Ms physk-al powers. But man lias been endowed with a nental force by means of which ho can harness the giant natural forces trt the streams. the coal mines, elect rlclly. the air uwl even of a aomethbvK we may coll ether. In which wireless messnges are trans mitted. Therefore if It Is dcsjlred to train the youth to arr iiiiIIhIi the boat reaulls It is inmortunt to train the mind. Education should be the watch word. A knowledge of the natural forces and the ability to turn them to useful work is all dependwrt upon tlio trained mind, viz: education. One of the most wonderful Hems modern progress is the business which linn be'ii developed by refrigeration, fit cold storage.

While a very great development In this line has already beein- nnule, it would seem as though the business was really yet young. IEAI IS NFW MEXICO. Mr. M. K. llcglcr. of llnunn ( omit v.

The firemen and the employees of the company worked heroically in the face of grave danger and under many disad vantages. The damage which will amount to be tween $7,000 and 110,000, ia covered by Insurance. The fire waa started try an explosion of gases formed in the carburretter from Texas oil. The flames from the aea shot Up to the wooden trusses supporting the foof. Igniting them. The timbers "were like tinder and the fire spread rapidly, the entire upper floor belnaj in flames within 10 minutes after the explosion. In addition to the wood yfork of the building 1,000 g;allon of oil caught fire, making it impossible to extinguish the Diaze even if the equipment and service or the nreinen had been ade- quate for an ordinary flre, Which It Is not. The tire department " responded promptiv and the men worked valiant ly, but the water pressure waa alto gether Insufficient, the fire being out side the city, and they were handi capped by not having a steer' on the grounds and on account of the dis tance away from the fire of the hyd rant. Chief VV. 8. Orr was out of the city and Assistant W. S. Charles led the firemen In an Intelligent and most praiseworthy manner. No doubt the town was saved a great calamity and the ga company a big Iobh by the real courage of Messrs. Ninbet Latta and Oscar Whitaker, who went into the burning: bulldlnar and took the proper steps to prevent ex plosions, facing the flames and endang ering their Uvea. Mr. Whitaker set the clamps on the purifying boxes to keep the air from contact with thes gas. which would have caused an -explosion equal to nitroglycerine. Mr Latta turned the steam Jet on the seal pot to keep the fire from coming In contact with It. which would have also caused a terrific explosion. Had not thes? precautions taken the entire plant of generators and large apparatus would have been destroyed and probably live lout. When Messrs. Whitaker and Lat ta came out of the building they were sick and vomiting from the effects of the heat and the odors of gas. The Inside structure of the building Is of steel and as soon as the smoke permitted Mr. AI. Nlsbet Latta. super lritcndant of the plant, started the work of cleaning away the debris and getting the gas generators in working orders for the material . he thought he heard of the lire, lie had given oredrs for the material net though would be necessary and for the hepl he thuoght he would need. The red hot iron floors were cooled by the line of water and a force of laborers bi'gan removing the debris. Mechanics and steam fitters were on band with the material or dered and the work of putting In new valves and repairing the steam, gas and oil pipes, which had been warped and twisted by the Intense heat, wan begun In earnest. Within two hour of the time when Ihe flames were at their helghth the hollers had been fired arid the genera tors put in operation. Only by the thorough knowledge of the plant and Its equipment and the tremendous en ergy of the young superintendent. Mr. Ninbet f.atta, wa this feat made pos sible. From the time he heard of the lire until the generator were In oper ation he worked like a machine, re gardless of l singer and comfort. The users of gas In the city have him to thank for their relief at not having to face a gas famine, for at the time of the (Ire the holder contained only two hours supply for the city. The consternation of the people of the city who lire dependent Uan the gas supply not only for light but for i-ooklii-- iwd other purposes was re markable. In the newspaper shops much nnxiety was felt. The tyi met al used In the opeiVtlon of the lino types Is kept molten by gas and early In the evening In Ihe Observer's plant word was passed around that the sup ply of ga would be exhausted at 10 o'clock und that the machine would stop at that time, "(let your copy In early," was the message sent to the local force from up-stalrs and Immedi ately the typewriters began 'to rattle. The ifiessage that Mr. Latta had suc ceeded In getting the generators In op eration was nowhere greeted with more thanksgiving than by the boys who get out The Observer. Doesn't Signify Much. To the Editor of The Observer: Ho much has been said about "a bale to the acre," nn expression often used but which does not signify any thing In our ureal cotton county. As one in a former article In The Obser ver said, such a farm produced so many ba'es weighing 4 90 pounds each. We, of the greatest cotton county In the Stale, call 500 pounds lint an average bale. My crop of 125 bales Averaged 625 each, but this is a mere suggest ion that "a bale to the acre noes not Imply how much, hh 1 have known a great many to sell bag ging and ties at a profit to cover a 400 pound sample, and still produced bale to the acre. Better put It so much lint cotton per acre. L T. TOWNgEND. Lumberton, Jan. 1. 1006. COIiD KILLS THE tiKRM. Ijleut. IN-rry Says There Arc No Raid Head In the Arctic Region.
