20 " = 16 0 | 8 pfennig = 1 | 20 " = 16 0
5 " = 4 0 | 4 " = 1/2 | 5 " = 4 0
1 franc = 10 | | 1 lira = 9-1/2
10 centimes = 1 | | 10 centesimi = 1
5 " = 1/2 | | 5 " = 1/2

Considerable use is also made by Esperantists of the International
Auxiliary Money-unit (_Internacia Helpa Mono_) introduced by M. Rene de
Saussure, of the Internacia Scienca Asocio, Geneva. The unit is the
_Speso_, equivalent to one-tenth of a farthing in English money.

10 _spesoj_ (abbr. 10 _s._) = 1 _spesdeko_ (1 _sd._) = 1/4d.
100 _spesdekoj_ (100 _sd._) = 1 _spesmilo_ (1 _sm._) = 2s. 0d.
1 _sm._ = 100 _sd._ = 1,000 _s._

The approximate values of 10 _spesmiloj_ in terms of the various
national units are as follows: 10 _spesmiloj_ = 25 francs = 20 shillings
= 20 marks = 5 dollars = 24 Austrian kroner = 18 Scandinavian kroner =
12 Dutch florins = 9-1/2 roubles = 4-1/2 Portuguese milreis = 9
Brazilian milreis = 5 pesetas = 9-3/4 yen.

The chief point to remember is that 1 _spesmilo_ equals 2 shillings, and
1 _spesdeko_ equals approximately 1 farthing.

WEIGHTS & MEASURES. (_Pezoj kaj Mezuroj._)

The Metric System is the one in general use among Esperantists. The
following table shows the essential decimal character of the system:

Parts. Length. Weight. Capacity.
One-thousandth. Milimetro. Miligramo. Mililitro.
One-hundredth. Centimetro. Centigramo. Centilitro.
One-tenth. Decimetro. Decigramo. Decilitro.
ONE. METRO (unit). GRAMO (unit). LITRO (unit).
Ten. Dekametro. Dekagramo. Dekalitro.
Hundred. Hektometro. Hektogramo. Hektolitro.
Thousand. Kilometro. Kilogramo. Kilolitro.

MEASURES OF LENGTH. (_Mezuroj de Longeco._)

English. Esperanto.
1 inch = 2.54 _centimetroj_
1 foot (12 in.) = 30.48 "
1 yard (3 ft.) = 91.43 "
1 furlong (220 yds.) = 201 _metroj_
1 mile (1760 yds.) = 1.61 _kilometroj_
5 miles = 8.05 "

Esperanto. English.
1 _centimetro_ = 0.394 (1/3) inch
1 _decimetro_ = 3.94 inches
1 _metro_ = 39.37 in. (3 ft. 3-1/3 in.)
