built at Sparrows Point. Md, for service
on the Panama canal, will sail from the
shipyard tomorrow on her official trial trip
at sea- The dredge was built under con-
tract with the Panama canal commission

kind ever constructed. The vessel was
launched more than two months ago, but
she has been lying at the shipyard since
that time being fitted out for service If
the results of the trip which she is 60 make
are satisfactory the big digging machine

Dredging In Occoquan Creek.

The bucket scoop dredging machine Jack.
which Is being used by Philadelphia con-
tractors for the deepening of the water in
Occoquan creek. will resume work neYt
Monday after lying idle for about tbrae
weeks. The delay in the progress of the
work in Occoquan was due to the fact that
the dredging bucket used on the machine
was broken and the one sent to take its
place was found to be too heavy for eff
cient work Early in the week a new bucket
was received from Wilmington, Del. and
the work Of putting it on the machine was
completed yesterday. The dredge will dig
channel about a mile long and six feet
deep in the creek that wood lumber and
tie-laden vessels can get out of it. and into
the deep water OF the Potomac without
danger OF sticking in the mud. The work
now in progress In Occoquan will require
several weeks for completion. and is the
last to be done under the 1906 contracts for
the Improvement OF several tributaries of
the river. The tug D. M. Key of this city
will go to Occoquan Monday to act as ten
der to the dredging machine.

RULES FOR PILOTS.
Action by Supervising Inspectors Of
Steam Vessels.

At the last session of the board of super
vising inspectors of steam vessels held in
the Office Of Inspector General Uhler
number of new rules for the government of
pilots were adopted effective July l. Among
the more important of the new regulations
are the following:
Rule 3 Steam vessels are forbidden to
use what has become technically known
among pilots as cross cross signals I.h . mat Is;
answering two whistles with one. In all
cases and under all circumstances pilot
receiving either of the whistle signals pro-
yided in the rules, which for any reason
he deems injudicious to comply with, in
stead of answering it with cross signal.
shall at once sound the danger signal and
observe the rule applying thereto.
Rule g. The signals for passing, by the
blowing of the whistle, shall be given and
answered by pilots in compliance with
these rules, not only when meeting head
when the steam vessels are in sight of each
other, when passing or meeting at dis
lance within half a mile of each other and
whether passing to the starboard or port
The whistle signals provided in the rules
for steam vessels meeting. passing or
overtaking are never to De USED except
when steamers are in sight Of each other,
and the course and position Of each can be
determined in the daytime by a. sight Of the
vessel itself, or by night by seeing its sig
nal lights. In fog. mist, falling snow or
see each other fog signals only must be
given.
Rule g. When two steamers are ap-
preaching each other at right angles or
obliouely, so as to involve risk OF collision
otner than when one steamer is overtaking
another the steamer which has the other
on her own port side shall hold her course
and speed; and the steamer which has the
other on her own starboard side shall keep
out of the way of the other by directing
her course to starboard so as to cross the
stern of the other steamer, or, If necessary
to do so, slacken her speed, or stop. or
reverse The steamer having the other
on her own port bow shall blow one blast
of her whistle a signal Of her Intention
to cross the bow of the other, holding her
course and speed, which signal shall be
promptly answered by the other steamer
by one short blast of her whistle as a sig
nal of her intention to direct her course to
starboard, so as to cross the stern of the
other steamer or otherwise keep clear.
If from any cause whatever the condi-
lions covered by this situation are such as
to prevent immediate compliance with each
others signals, the misunderstanding or
objection shall be at once made apparent
by blowing the danger signal and both
steamers shall be stopped and backed. If
necessary, until signals for passing with
safety are made and understood.
The rules apply to all vessels propelled
by machinery, whether the power Is steam,
naphtha, gas, electric motor or otherwise,
and are said to be far reaching in making
travel by water absolutely safe.

Adopted by the Students.

Joel Hayden was a generous man, but he
did not have a very refined taste in art, and
his figure Of Sabrina was neither beautiful
nor inspiring. 1t was about four and half
feet high, weighed $50 pounds and from
the time it was introduced upon the cam
pus she was the butt of ridicule and the
subject of student mischief. One morning
she appeared with big shawl pinned
around her fair and naked shoulders: at an
other occasion her shapely limbs were
very attractive lingerie; she occasionally
got coat of whitewash, red paint and
black tar. Every successive class endeav-
ored to Guido its predecessors in the in
genuity inventing new tricks for the god
dess to perform. She frequently appeared
in the pulpit Of the chapel and at the desks
of the professors in the recitation rooms,
and one bright September day In 1877 she
was found with rag baby labeled 81 rest
ing quietly In her arms.
That was her first appearance in class
81 claimed her as it's own. The following
year. when SO gave its freshman banquet
at New London. they stole Sabrina from
her horne among the flowers and carried
her with them to New London. The class
of 81 considered this case of KIDNAPPING,
and endeavored to recover their mascot, but
80 lowered Sabrna into the college well,
where she remained In soak for year.
Then the classes began to fight over her
and the faculty. fearing the consequences,
confiscated the goddess, and delivered her
to PROF. Charlie, an old negro janitor,
with orders to cut her up and sell her for
junk. Everybody supposed that the or
ders had been carried out until a new
president came into power when the class
of 30 found her hidden under the hay in
Charles barn, and took her to their an
nual supper Nnety-one kidnapped her from
go and hid her in the woods on the bank
of the Connecticut river Tor two years,
when they delivered her to '93 as the mas
cot of the odd-numbered classes of Am
herst, at a banquet held at the fremont
House, in Boston, June 10, 1891.
For fear lest ninety-two or ninety-fo
the odd classes would recover the image,
Sa brina was shipped from Boston to Spring
field. addressed to the father of a member
of the class of ninety three. Her move
ments have been followed by representa-
tives of ninety-four, however, who forged
the express receipt, secured the dilapidated
old bronze figure and hid 1t in a store
room In Boston. The freshman who forged
the express receipt fled to Europe to es-
cape arrest. This achievement resulted
in the expenditure of several thousand dol
lars, for expensive detectives were en-
poyed the case for several months
Indeed, Sabrina is a very expensive luxury
for every class who claims her in these
days.
