It was a picture that thrilled the lord chief-chancellor himself who was a worshiper of beauty, and a man given to angling in the lagoon and making metric translations of the inscriptions.
In modern music it is extremely unusual to find notes grouped in fives, or measures having the rhythmic value of five beats, or periods made up of measures in fives. A study of the tabulation shows that the Tinguian have a rather natural bent for groupings in this number. It seems easy for them to drop into that metric form.
"But isn't a million bucks worth a few weeks of effort?" Rick's famous father, Hartson Brant, walked into the library in time to hear the last comment. His eyebrows went up. "What's all this megabuck talk?" That was a new word to Barby. "What talk?" "In the metric system, 'meg' means million. So a megabuck is a million bucks, if you'll pardon the slang." "Oh well Rick is going to win a megabuck."
Such was the establishment of a convenient and uniform system of weights and measures, based on decimal reckoning, the so- called metric system, which has come to be accepted by almost all civilized nations save the English-speaking peoples.
"I know it's estimated," I replied, "that there are 2,000,000 metric tons of silver held in suspension in seawater." "Surely, but in extracting that silver, your expenses would outweigh your profits.
Not only does it contain everything then known about the training of the voice; it was drawn up with the same exhaustive care and analytical attention to detail that were devoted to the formulation of the metric system. To mechanical rules less than one page is devoted. Respiration is the only subject to receive more than a few lines.
Chinese verse has developed along very much the same lines as French verse. The syllable is an even more integral and sonorous unit than in French, while quantity and stress are too uncertain to form the basis of a metric system. Syllable-groups so and so many syllables per rhythmic unit and rhyme are therefore two of the controlling factors in Chinese prosody.
This new pedagogy accordingly belongs to the series of modern sciences, and not to antique speculations, although it is not directly based on the purely metric studies of "positive psychology."
In 1905 Austria exported 425,000 metric tons of wheat and 186,000 metric tons of malt, which were mostly produced in Bohemia. The Austrian import trade is also largely dependent on Bohemia. All French articles bought by Bohemia come through Vienna, two-thirds of the whole French export being destined for that country.
The government motor trucks transported over it during the last fiscal year 22,390 passengers and 7696.24 metric tons of freight. Railroad corporations are inclined to be a bit soulless. The Manila Railway Company is extending its line to Baguio by means of a branch leaving the main line at Aringay.
