he cites the following examples

the weight of his culture to the pre-

OLE NATIONAL PARK. .

Under the above named act of Con-
gress, this park Is under the exclusive
control Of the Secretary OF the Inter
iOr, but it may not be out Of place iOr
me to state in this report that it IL the
wish and desire of this department. to
unite with the Secretary of the Iu-
terror in doing what is possible to be
done with the limited appropriation
at hand for opening and surveying
this region, so appropriately called
Wonderland" At present it can
notte reached except by long and
tiresome travel, of from the usual
route but when railroads are built in
that direction, and when that region
is opened to more prompt cOmmuni-
cation, il will doubles be tile resort
each year of thousands of those who
will seek to visit 1t.
The curiosities OF the park are rapid
ly being destroyed. How they can
be preserved is a problem, but they
should be saved and il authority
were given to the Department to
make a survey OF the routes alluded
to, and To station one or two compan-
les of troops in or near the park for
the purpose Of preventing spOliation,
which will otherwise frequently Oc-
cur, l have no doubt that the result
would be satisfactory. Surely every
thing should be done that can be 10
protect all that is grand and beautiful
in that remarkable region.
THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION.
The total expense Of making full
and satisfactory exhibit of our war
materials has heretofore been esti-
mated at 500, 900. Congress, at the
last session, appropriated only Sl3S, 700
of this amount, and burdened the
appropriation with a pro rata share of
the expense of any building that
might be erected for the aOeommOda-
ton of the entire government ex-
hibit. Experience has shown that
the amount thus left for the practical
exhibit of the War Department is
inadequate, and l recommend that
Congress supplement the appropria-
ton already made with further one,
granting sufficient to make up the
sum of 500, 900 for the practical ex-
hibit of the department. This
amount is set down at SIS, 900, which
includes an item of 50, 900 as re-
for moneys expended in
the erection of the government build
ings at the Exhibition.
l believe that the government, in
as a voluntary contributor
at this Exhibition, international as 1t
is in character, should avoid the NOR
tifieation of an inconsiderable or dis;
creditable display.

TINE SINCE THE WAR.

The Secretary has the following to
say upon the condition of the Navy:
''It is gratifying to be able to re-
port that the Navy is now in stronger
and more efficient condition than it
ever has been at any time since the
commencement Of your administra-
ton. 1t Is not very strong in the
nun Der nor in the classes of its ships,
but what there are of them are in as
good condition rs it is practicable to
keep such materials of war under tbs
various and trying conditions % which
/ tSey are in the nature Of their service
constantly exposed. A far larger pro
portion than usual of our wooden
ships are ready for service. Our iroI-
clad feet is efficient, QUE store-hOuses
are fairly stocked with ordinances
equipments and supplies, and We have
on hand fair supply OF the best ma.
terial for building and repair OF ships.
The service has been placed in this
state OF efficiency, compared with
what existed few years ago, by util

lar benefcent aid. It is proposed that
this aid shall be extended through tine
agency Of the government, without
eventual expense to the public Treas
urv. 1t is argued that the money 10
be deducted under the operation OF
the proposed scheme is worth 10 the
government a certain percentage OF
interest. The well-settled principles
governing life Insurance. would be ap-
p,icebie to this plan, snd the annuity
tables would be prepared by the most
careful and critical calculations. The
science of probabilities has reached
great precision in those computations
entering into life insurance, but after
| certain tables had been used twenty
years, more or less, corrections could
be made II they were found deficient,
which would more perfectly accom-
plish the object OF the scheme, viz /;
the rendering of substantial assistance
to the families OF deceased officers Of
the army, without actual expense to
the government.
DEFENSE or THE SEABOARD.
The works for the defence of our
seabOard, under the Engineer Depart
ment, have progressed satisfactorily,
and as rapidly as the means provided
will admit. The class of works,
adopted In 1869, are heavy earth bat
teries, thoroughly protected, and ar
ranged for guns and mortsrs suitable
to resist the attack OF the most power
full iron-clads. Already some Of the
positions selected, particularly III our
larger commercial ports, have a large
proportion of their gun positions pre-
pared.
MISSISSIPPI RIVER SURVEY.
In the improvement of the Missis-
sippi river the want of q detailed and
accurate survey has long been felt.
The need of such survey is becoming
more and more urgent from year to
year, as engineering improvements
in aid of commerce become necessary.
The partial surveys OF detached pOr-
tions of the river which have from
time to time been made for special
improvements are not sufficient for
discussing the plans for protecting the
river against fiOOds-a question which
Is now of much importance--or for
other general engineer improvements,
which should be based on detailed
maps, exhibiting not only the condi-
tion of the river at the time of the
survey, but giving the means of dis
covering future changes. The organ.
iZation and instruments OF the lake
survey furnish the means of making
tue survey of the river accurately
and economically, and recommend
that the wo:k be placed in its hands.

Rats-HOW they May be utilized.

Rats are not generally supposed to
be of any particular use in the econ
omy of nature, unless il BE- to eat up
refuse, make a noise, or haunt the
subterrauean cavities or large cities.
A telegraph inspector in England has,
however, upon q recent occasion,
proven that the rat as an operator in
case Of broken wires may "e turned tn
good account. 1t was necessary, says
the Popular Science Monthly, to over
haul a cable OF wires inclosed in iron
tubes. A certain length of the cable
had to be taken out of the tube, and
the men com meneed hauling at one
end, without having taken the pre-
caution to attach tn the other q wire
by which iU might b. drawn back
after inspection and repairs. The
question arose how the cable was to
be restored TO its proper place. The
inspector invOked the aid OF q rat
catcher, and, provided with a large
rat, ferret, and ball of string wound
on the Morse paper drum, he repaired
to the opening in the tube. The
s'fiush-boxes" were opened and the rat
with one end OF the string attached to
his body, was put into the pips.
He scampered away at racing
pace, dragging the twine with
him until he reached the middle
of the pipe, and there stopped.
The ferret was then put in, and of
went the rat again, until he sprang
clear out Of the fiush-bOx. One length
of the cable was thus safe, and the
same operation was commenced with
the other; but the rat stopped short =
few yards from the pipe and boldly
awaited the approach Of the ferret. A
sharp combat ensued, bat after sun
dry jerks at the strings the combat.
ants separated, the rat making for the
other extremity OF the pipe, carrying
the strings through aud relieving the
inspector from his anxiety.-Iater,
