             A number of nonmetric measurements in common use may at first glance seem to lack the logic and clarity of the metric system,with its measurements all neatly based on tens and multiples of tens.However,these nonmetric measurements developed over time from habitual use of commonplace items to make simple measurements.They might not seem like simple measurements today,but such is their history.
            The measurements foot and yard developed based on average lengths of body parts.As can be inferred from the name,the Romans used the term foot to describe the length of a man's foot,from the base of the  heel to the tip of the big toe.Though not exactly an accurate measurements,due the varying lengths of men's feet,a foot was a measurement that was easy to conceptualize and visualize by most people.The term yard was used extensively by the English as the measurement from the tip of a man's nose to the tip of his outstretched thumb.English King Edward I redefined a yard as equivalent to three feet in 1305,and it still has this meaning today.
            To describe longer distances,the Romans also inveted the use of the term mile.The word mile comes from the Latin word mille,which means one thousand.A mile was meant to conform to a distance of one thousand paces,each pace consisting of two steps or approximately five thousand feet.
            On the Ocean,speed is measured in knots,with one knot roughly equivalent to one nautical mile per hour.This measurement of speed comes from the days when sailors used a knotted rope to determine their speed while at sea.A rope was knotted at regular intervals and tossed overboard.The rope was let out as sand flowed through an hourglass.When the sand had passed through the hourglass,the speed of the boat was determined by counting the number of knots that had been let out.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic ...

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for...

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived...
