That of which anything is composed; constituent substance;             material; the material or substantial part of anything;             the constituent elements of conception; that into which a             notion may be analyzed; the essence; the pith; the             embodiment.                         He is the matter of virtue.               --B.

metre          (US "meter") The fundamental {SI} unit of length.          From 1889 to 1960, the metre was defined to be the distance       between two scratches in a platinum-iridium bar kept in the       vault beside the Standard Kilogram at the International Bureau       of Weights and Measures near Paris.          This replaced an earlier definition as 10^-7 times the       distance between the North Pole and the Equator along a       meridian through Paris; unfortunately, this had been based on       an inexact value of the circumference of the Earth.          From 1960 to 1984 it was defined to be 1650763.73 wavelengths       of the orange-red line of krypton-86 propagating in a vacuum.          It is now defined as the length of the path traveled by light       in a vacuum in the time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second.          (1998-02-07)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Mitre       (Heb. mitsnepheth), something rolled round the head; the turban       or head-dress of the high priest (Ex. 28:4, 37, 39; 29:6, etc.).       In the Authorized Version of Ezek. 21:26, this Hebrew word is       rendered "diadem," but in the Revised Version, "mitre." It was a       twisted band of fine linen, 8 yards in length, coiled into the       form of a cap, and worn on official occasions (Lev. 8:9; 16:4;       Zech. 3:5). On the front of it was a golden plate with the       inscription, "Holiness to the Lord." The mitsnepheth differed       from the mitre or head-dress (migba'ah) of the common priest.       (See {BONNET}.)
