VESSEL CRIPPLED BY LOG.
Power Schooner Stranger Now Is
Laid I'm for Repairs

While the power schooner Stranger
one of the local fleet of plea craft
was on cruise on the river over
Decoration day she ran into Occoquan
creek. and. going up the Shoai chan
mel of that waterway. her propeller
struck submerged log. and was jam
med so badly as to seriously cripple
the craft.
The Stranger was brought to this city,
and yesterday at high tide she was
backed into shoal dock at Regain s
boatyard and left on the bottom. When
the tide fell her propeller wheel was
exposed. and one of the blades was
found to be bent badly. and grass and
other like debris was wrapped about
the propeller shaft
The Stranger will he taken from the
water on the railway at Regans toda y
and repairs will be made to shaft and
wheel. so that she can be launched in
time to resume service on the river Sun
day. Occoquan creek channel is full of
logs. and it is not an uncommon thing
for the tugboats taking lighters in and
out Of the creek to damage their wheels
by striking these sunken instructions.

FISH CATCHES ARE LIGHT.
Dealers Here Receive But Two Bar
rels From Summer Fleet.

So far according to reports made b,
the dealers at the fish wharf market. only
two barrels of fish have been received
from the summer fishing feet at worl
on the river. and they came from the
schooner Mary and Rebecca, Capt
Faunce. Bad weather has interfered
somewhat with the fishing operations. but
fish are said to be very scarce on the
river and the catches have been light
The schooner Ada Ballenger, one of the
Potomac fishing fleet. has shifted its
base of operations to the James river
and the dealers here have received a bar
rel or two of fish from her in the past
two or three days.
The fishermen operating the summer
nets are looking for a run of fish In the
river at any time. and if their eXpecta
tons are fulfilled the catch then viii
be large and will repay them for the days
of idleness-
The sloop Annie. Capt Gibson. which
has been making ready for summer fish
ing at this city. is expected to Join the
fleet on the river in the early part of the
coming week. The schooner Virginia
CAPT. Carroll. will also join the fishing
fleet in the coming week.

PLEASURE CRAFT REPAIRED.
Power Launches Docked for Prepare
tiOns for Cruising.

The power launch Friend. one of the
local fleet of pleasure craft. is in the dock
near the District morgue wharf, being
made ready for service. She is being
painted and her engine overhauled. but it
is stated she will not go into service until
the last of this month.
A new Globe twenty five horsepower
gasoline engine is being installed aboard
A. G.. ketcham's launch Canaoa, in place
of a seventeen horsepower engine. The
installation of the new machinery will be
completed within the next day or two,
and the launch will then be taken out for
a trial run the river. With the addi-
tional power the Canaoa is expected to
develop considera BILE additional speed and
to be better adapted for long cruises on
the river.
The power launch Margaret B. is out on
the marine railway at Deans. Alexan-
dria for such repairs as are necessary
to put her in good trim for cruising serv-
ice. She will also be reprinted and re-
decorated before being put overheard TO

States in 1913. The avoirdupois pound
was derived from the troy pound Of
the mint. The avoirdupois pound equals
1.215 pounds troy. which is the relative
equivalent between troy and avoirdu
pois weight in England. The units of
measures represent the wine gallon of 23l
cubic inches and the Winchester bushel
because they seemed to correspond more
closely with the average capacity meas
ures already in use in the United States
These weights and measures were
adopted by Congress June Ia. 1886. and
the Secretary of the Treasury was d.
rected to furnish uniform set of the
weights and measures to the governor
of each state in the Union.
These sets consist Of five boxes con-
tanning the assorted weights and meas
ures. a standard brass yard measure
bushel measure with ground glass
cover in a case. The weights included
both troy and avoirdupois weights from
a fifty-pound avoirdupois weight down
to the thousandth part of an ounce IN
both troy and avoirdupois weight, the
smaller weights being composed of sill
yer wire Having thus provided dss the tne
the responsibility of enforcing it to the
separate states
The legalization of the metric system
this time become general in use in the
more important European countries, was
adopted by the United States in 1866,
and It is in daily use In many to
substitute it as the national system or
weights and measures is as yet not
powerful enough to warrant any hope
of it's speedy adoption. although 1T is
generally regarded az essential to
complete uniformity of weights and
measures, and it is in use throughout
most of the world After its use was
authorized in the United States provi-
sions were made to supply each state
with a set of the metric weights ana
measures. they are necessary Tor
commercial transactions with foreign
countries.
The essential features of the metric
system were first reported upon by the
French National Academy of Science In
|1791 Holland, Denmark, Switzerland
and Spain and several smaller nations
which met in Paris in 1893 and agreed
to accept the metric standards. Their use
spread slowly at first. but now is either
obligatory or permissible throughout the
civilized world In 1875 treaty was
signed by seventeen OF the leading ma
tions. the United States among them. pro-
viding for the permanent organization of
an international committee. This COM
mittee had to arrange for the construc-
ton of sufficient number of platinum
iridium meters and Kilograms to supply
each of the interested nations. The
French government coded ground on neu-
trail territory for the work OF this com
mittee The United States has secured
two of the meters and two Kilograms
which are kept at the bureau OF stand
ards and are used as the fundamental
standards of length and mass in the
United States The international commit
tee purposes to intercompare all the ma
tional meters and kilograms at regular
| intervals in order that their accuracy
shall be assured.
