The horseshoe

The U. s. Engineers who have been in
session in Philadelphia have agreed TO
iRvorably report a plan for preventing
the annual ice gorge at lhe HorseshOe.
The Delaware makes an angular turn off
League Island, and In the bay on the
Jersey shore opposite, the ice each winter
g0rges and pushes out into the channel
so IS 10 seriously affect the navigation Of
the river.
The ice, were the river straight, would
pass down, but IL is caught in the angle
of the jersey shore and sticks so f,st that
two Ice boats are almost constantly IN
use In the winter time. TO keep a channel
throughit. The plan adopted Is to stretch
a straight line Of iron piles from Glouces-
ter Point to Eagle Point, on the J isey
shore and from Greenwich Point to the
head Of League leland, and from the
mouth Of the Schuylkill to a point below.
These piles will be Of lion, with screw
points, and will be so driven that each
Two will form a triangle 10 order To resist
the pressure Of the ice more perfectly.
Upon these piles there will be con-
8tructed a CRIB work between low aud
high water mark. The average Width
between the rows upon the east aud west
sides Of the river will be about 1900 feet,
With an average depth Of twenty-five feet.
The cost Of this improvement Is estimated
~ one million dollare.

A Hazardous Voyage.


In about two weeks an attempt will be
made from this bay to navigate the Pa
chic Ocean which has not been surpassed
by amy OF the daring feats accomplished
on the waters of the Atlantic. II Is
nothing more or less than a voyage from
here 10 the coat OF Japan In one Of the
smallest sailing craft on the waters OF
our bay.
The sloop Dolphin, by which this peril
Gus voyage Is to be made, is In fact
iuere cockle-sbell, measuring only thirty
feet In length from stem to stern, ten feet
beam, and three feet three inchrs depth
Of hold. She Is built sharp at DO h ends,
and Is capable Of carrying about ,ighi
tons. The Dol 9hln Is not much longer
than an ordlsary sized whale.boit, rnly
instead of being open she has BEEN
decked over. There are two hatchwsys
10 the deck one the main Il ,tchway
being In the centre of the deck the other
over what is intended to represent the
cabin.
The cabin ia simply three bunks built
In triangle, the hunks forming the sides
Of the vessel and Joining at the feet the
bunk forming the base and the triangle
extending from side TO side. Above the
latter there Is still another bunk, between
which and the beams of the deck there is
barely room for a mans body. A man.
hole In the deck Immediately astern Of
the after hatchway, has been provided
for the helmsman. The deck is flush
with the gunwale.
The Dolphin was built In San Fran.

Davis. On her voyage to Japan she will
be manned by four men, including hei
commander. She will be supplied with
water and provisions to serve six months
the supply of the former amounting K

consist of two tons Of coarse salt, i'm
plemenis for hunting the otter aud curinl

/ This hazardous voyage is undertaken
by these hardy and daring men for th
: purpose of hunting the sea otter, tn

The Park "T the Futures ONE False
Economy.

1t appears to us that the city authorities,
In their desire to get all the sand possible
from their lot, between Twelfth and
Thirteenth and Tatnall ard Orange
streets, are impsring the value of the
lot by digging So deep that It will not be
available in he futnre Tor building pur-
poses. This would be very poor economy,
for if the lot is not thus Injured, the city,
afttr ii hi- taken of an enormous guam
tlty o. sand and gravel, can again sell
the ground for more than lis original cost,
and thus obtain its matera. for grading
an I paving Tor lhe mere cost Of digging.
The true 10 icy OF the city is to sell ali
the ground il owns ex, cpt tat 10 be used
for hs public Dnidings fnr the highest
possio price, aud devote the proceeds TO
the purchase as rapidly as practicable Of
Park property Oh he Brandywiue The
square We have alluded ~, the so-called
public square At Eighth and Franklin
streets and the square between TenLh and
Eleventh and Market and hing streets,
(as soon ss IL i ab tudoued for reservoir
purpOse-) Gu all be thus dlaposed OF
to the great advantage Of the punlic, aud
the result would ne that a large enOugl
sum would he realized to enable the clt'
without any large increase Of debt OF
taxation, to purchase the Whole valley oil
the Brandy iue r ON Market street brldg,
10 the and IL is about to purchase.
This il the true natural entrance TO ouT
future park. The city should own Al
the land north of Fourteenth street Oh
this side Of he Brandywine, and CORES
ponding trip on the other side. II shouli
also sec ire the low ground at the northeri
end Of Wilmington and Brsndywin
cemetery and ~ much more as is possib
there, and at least all ground north o
Wawaset street from the cemetery to tn
pa,k proper. T here are very few bullt
ings on any part of this property, excep
at the eastern eud Of il, aud these coul
be purchased in time when the city wa
