Modern Industries Could

By H. H. Buplee.
r suit be remembered that when Prance and Germany adopted
tbe metric ay Mem the modern vast growth of machinery and

of metal trades generally bad not ccme Into being. Standardisa
tion was aa yet aa unknown Idea. There waa practically noth
ing to eudo, except some simple habits of barter and trade, be
- w-rr - tore tbe dew standards were taken Into use.
Tba situation In the United States sad Great Britain today la absolutely

The aerewthreada of England and America are standard all over tbe
