MEASURES.

173. A measure is a standard unit established by law 'or custom, by which extent, dimension, capacity, amount, or value is estimated.

Thus, length is ascertained by applying some unit of linear measure; capacity, by applying some unit of volume or capacity; weight, by apply. ing some unit of weight, etc.

MEASURES OF EXTENSION.

174. Extension is that which has one or more of the dimensions, length, breadth, and thickness, and may be a line, a surface, or a solid.

A line has only one dimension-length.

The standard unit of measures of extension, whether linear, surface, or solid, is the yard, which is subdivided into feet and inches.

175. Linear or line measures are used in measuring lines and distances.

Cloth measures are practically out of use. In measuring goods sold by the yard, the yard is divided into halves, fourths, eighths, and sixteenths.

At Custom Houses, in estimating duties, the yard is divided into tenths into tenths and hundredths.
