the stage, arrangements have been
completed for the installation OF the
latest motion picture projection de-

Auditorium. The orchestra pit is 8
feet by 60 feet, and has an adjoining
room or lounge for use of orchestra

A New System.

COON we shall no longer compute
- distances in inches, feet, yards,
rods and miles, and ounces and
pounds will be no longer used as units
of weight. This was the confident
prediction made unanimously by the
members of the Metric Association,
who met in conjunction with the As
sociation for the Advancement of
Science. 1t is only a matter of time,
declared DR.. George F. Kunz of the
American Museum. expert in precious
stones and president of the Metric
Association, before this country will
officially and generally adopt the sim
pie and easily handled system of
measurements now current on the
continent of Europe. Centimeters and
decimeters will replace our inches
and feet, the yard will be supplanted
by the meter. the mile by the kilo-
meter, the ounce by the gram and
the pound by the kilo. The number
10 will be the common multiple for
all the tables. and school children will
no longer have to remember that a
mile contains exactly 1850 yards.
They will only have to learn that 10
milligrams make a centigram, and
that 10 centimeters make a decimeter.
Our money is already standardized by
this metric system, making account
ing far easier here than it is In Eng
land. where they still stick to their
antiquated, farthings, pennies, shil-
lings, crowns, sovereigns and guineas.

Find Depth by Radio.

ONE of the most important develop
~ ments in navigation in recent
times, the "fathometer" which meas
ures the depth of the sea at the rate
of 240 times a minute, was demon
strated on a trip of the Berkshire of
the Merchants and Miners Line, be-
tween Baltimore and Boston. This
instrument, working on the principle
of transmitting and receiving sound
waves through the water, takes the
place of the sounding lead, used since
the early days of ocean transporta-
ton.
Tie fathometer was demonstrated
on three-day voyage in the presence
of newspaper men and technical ex-
perts. Throughout this period it gave
| soundings of one to four a second.
depending on the nature of the ocean
bed, corresponding with the depths
shown on charts by the Coast and
| Geodetic Survey. The distances meas
uTed were from to 40 fathoms, while
the instrument is designed also to
register up to 1900 fathems, a mile
and a half, or farther, If desired.
| The Importance Of this improvement,
| aside from its scientific value in map
| ping the ocean floor, lies in the fact
| that in times of emergency, when a
! ship is in unchartered waters or is
| dangerously near shore, it gives in
stant soundings. The old sounding
| lead, or even the Kelvin tube, requires
! from 10 to 90 minutes, and must be
| handled by experienced men The
| sonic system developed by the United
| States Navy can be operated only by
trained man.
The fathometer operates on the
| radio principle. An oscillator fixed
| in the hull of the vessel transmits
| sound waves which are reflected from
| the ocean bed to a receiver. These
are amplifed and transferred to a
| clock-like dial, giving instant depth
| readings with a variation of less than
fathom. The fathometer operates
automatically by pushing a button.
By comparing the fathometer read
ings with Government charts, it is
| possible in many instances not only
to determine the position of the ship
when other means fail, but also to
| find the direction of travel according
to the variations in the bottom.
The fathometer has been tested in
| operation on the Berkshire by off,
| cials of the United States, British
| Italian and Japanese governments,
and, while their official reports have
not yet been delivered, it Is under
stood that their findings were salts

Years of idleness had, however,

had been rushed through greatly in
ereasing the number OF judicial dis
tricts and providing three judges for

attorneys, clerks and marshalls. So
short was the time and so feverish
the desire to block Jefferson that
the actors in this tense drama re-
mained on the job right up to mid
night on the night of March 3, 1901.
Adams stayed in his library all the
evening, making out nominations of
judicial officials and sending them to
the Senate, which continued in ses-
sion to confirm the appointees.
In the Office of the Secretary of
State that official was also on the
job, making out commissions as rap
idly as he was advised by the Senate
that confirmation had been voted
This race against the clock ended
only when Levi Lincoln, who was to
become Attorney General the next
day, stalked into the Office of the Sec

IF Charles Evans Hughes thought
that the lightning of political
history ever struck thrice in the
i same place he would probably
be holding tight to his chair in
the State Department instead of retir-
ing voluntarily to seek more fame and
fortune at the bar. Before saying good
bye to President Coolidge he could have
looked back and observed two men step
ping from the Secretaryship of State
into the two jobs that Mr.. Hughes
prizes above all others and just barely
missed--President of the United
States and Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court.
And as he noted the eventful years
of the period during which John
Marshall achieved one and James
Madison the other (both right out of
the office which the Secretary is now
quitting), Mr.. Hughes would have
smiled with amused but sincere in
terest at the quaint, picturesque,
graceful figure of Dolly Madison, the
first of the two President of
the fair sex, whose personality is
printed large upon the early history
Of the country.
Queen Dolly, as they called her in
those gay days of Washington in
the wilderness" holds a record never
even remotely approached by any
other woman. For 16 consecutive
years she was the chatelaine of the
White House. where this once demure
Quaker maiden blossomed into a
bright, laughing, friendly, joyful,
tactful hostess, with bewitching
black curls nodding about her smil-
ing countenance, beneath bright-col-
ored turbans with wide streamers of
satin ribbon.
1t was .crinoline time, a patches
and powder time, a hoop-skirt time,
when the dainty ladies of the little
Capital fitted from great house to

THUS each divested hull has witnessed

Who can tell but that each ship,

aristocratic old village whose assem-
blies were the most select and gayest
of any social affairs of the neigh
borhood.
The statesmen occupying places in
Congress and the Supreme Court,
lonely and dispirited in the swampy
wilderness that was a city in name
only, welcomed the fair creatures and
it became almost a daily recreation
for half dozen or more of the pretty
young matrons and maidens of Dolly
Madison's train to visit the Senate,
the House and the Supreme Court
room, where seats were PROMPTLY
provided among the officials, and
where whispered gossip and Irritation
were carried on behind the backs of
daintily mitted hands. while the af-
fairs of state went forward as if
there were no intruders present.
1t is related that ON one occasion
Mistress Madison and a bevy of gayly
bedecked ladies entered the Supreme
Court room just as the great Pinck-
ney had concluded an argument,
whereupon he rose and repeated his
address, changing it only by the dig
nifty, ceremony and gesture with
which it was delivered. John Mar
shall is reported to have suppressed
smile behind his grim countenance,
but to have offered no objection to
the, repetition.
The very heart and soul of all such
life, vivacity, gayety, visiting, gos-
siping and pleasure-seeking was
happy Dolly Madison, who dearly
loved the little daily social diversions,
the talk, the balls, parties, dresses,
turbans and all the other frivolities
of the time, and was content to leave
serious affairs to the men whose busi-
ness it was to attend to them.

A TURBULENT, stressful time, with

light wire, 226 outfits of galley
stoves, with cooking utensils and
dishes, silverware and linen; 552
bronze gongs and 1900 oak desks
and pieces of ship furniture.
The list is such as to make Row
enite or Seventh day Adventist
shudder at the prospect of its annihi-
lation. 1t is enough to make any of
us hold our breaths to realize that
the amount of pine alone, removed
from these ships, would reach three
fourths of the way around the earth,
and that the cable wire would extend
from Washington to Carson City,
New.

it's quality. 1t had been made to

less amiable in her whole outlook
on life could easily have wrecked d
her husbands career. Instead she
ameliorated the distrust and dislike
of Jefferson among his enemies and
made so many friends for Little Jim
Madison that his succession" to the
Presidency eight years later became
natural and logical.
Jefferson and Burr had tied for
President in the electoral college,
with Adams and Pinckney only five
votes behind them. The House of
Representatives had spent a week on
the contest, finally electing Jefferson
President and Burr Vice President.
Only the Senate wing of the Capitol
was completed and the House met
in cramped quarters there. Several
members were sick but to prevent
any advantage by any candidate they
had their beds moved into the House
chamber and occupied them during
the session, which was continuous
and ended only after Sc ballots had
been taken.
The result infuriated stanch little
John Adams. the last Federalist, who
was indignant at being cut off with
only one term, especially by Jeffer-
son. The election had been reached
only a few days prior to March 4.
and Adams and his friends set about
to do all in their power in the short
time remaining to tie Jefferson's s
hands. The Democratic Republican
sweep had elected Congress in SYM
pathy with Jefferson's ideas, but the
old, Tame duck" Congress was Fed
eralist and jefferson. Even the
House which had elected Jefferson
was hostile and had taken him only
in preference to Burr. The Senate
was strongly against him.
With fuming, lame duck President
in the White House and an antag-
onistic Congress in the Capitol, the
Adams people turned to the Federal
courts for protection. Up to that
time even the Supreme Court had
amounted to little. John Jay, the
first Chief Justice, had resigned be-
