Or, One Metre = 39.37079 inches. (It is the ten-millionth part of a quarter of the meridian of the earth.) 1 Decimetre = 4 in. 1 Centimetre = f^ in. 1 Millimetre =V5in. Decametre = b2.80 feet. Hectometre ;= 109..36 yds. Kilometftj = 0.62 miles. One inch = 2.539 Centimetres. One foot — 3.047 Decimetres. One yard = 0.91 of a Metre. One mile = 1.60 Kilometre. The cubic centimetre (1.5.432 grains—1 gramme) is a standard at 4° C, the grain at 16°.66 C. WEIGHT.

A cubic inch = 16.38 c.c. : a cubic foot = 2S.315 cubic dec, and a gallon — 4.54 litres. CONVERSION SCALE. To convert Grammes to Ounces avoir- dupois, multiply by 20 and divide by 567. To convert Kilogrammes to Pounds. multiply by 1,000 and divide by 454. To convert Litres to Gallons, mul- tiply by 22 and divide by 100. To convert Litres to Pints, multiply by 88 and divide by 50. To convert Millimetres to Inches. multiply by 10 and divide by 254. To convert Metres to Yards, multi- ply by 70 and divide by 64. SURFACE MEASURE. 1 square metre — about 1.550 sq. inches.
