The treasury department has issued
a circular saying: "You will exact from
steamboat inspectors strict fidelity to the
true intent and meaning Of the 18th rule and
the statute on which it is founded. The
duty is enjoined upon inspectors of frequent

personal knowledge that the equipments are
kept up to the original requirements, and
that the hull and boilers are entirely safe.
The register of the treasury recently
applied to the treasurer to subscribe in his
individual behalf for 81, 600 bond OF the

the law, which provides that no person ap-
pointed to the office Of secretary, first comp
troler, first auditor of the treasury, or reg.

The Sahara Canal.

An article in the last number Of the
Scientific American, Land below the
Level of the Ocean," treats of the
scheme to convert the desert Of Sahara
into an inland sea by cutting canal to
it from the ocean. The article gives
large figures and suggests some marvellous
results:
at should be considered that this
large inland lake, if once established,
would have no fresh water supply by
rivers; but the sea water would rush
in through the channel, to make up for
the evaporation, which we may safely set
down at 1000 pounds of water per year
for every square foot. This would lower
the level twenty feet per year, which is
one qu uartcr Of the whole quantity OF the
lake. This, for whole surface Of 1000.
600 square miller, or 100000, 900 900

69,444, ,444 cubic feet or 625, 900 gal
Ions per second. As the German Rhine
carries only 100000 gallons of water
per second, on an average, the channel
bringing the supply to the desert OF
Sahara from the ocean would have to
carry as much water as is carried BY
525 rivers like the Rhine and from the
salt water only pure water would be
evaporated, leaving the salt behind. Al
this amounts to Four per cent, or one
twepty-fifth of the sea water and as
nearly twenty feet deep, or one-iourth
of the water in this new lake, would
annually evaporate, it would only take
AXIS, or 100 years, one single century fol
all the water TO disappear and a deposit
of salt take its place. Then the now
sandy desert would be changed into a
desert of salt, whicn salt would fill the

A Remarkable FoOd.Preservative.

A practical physician-Dr. J. w. Dav-
export, of Dallas, Texas--has obtained a
patent which promises to be of great
usefulness. 1t is simply a fluid for keep
ing all kinds of fruits, vegetables and
meats, fresh and sweet. The aim of the
chemist has been to discover the ingre-
dients of pickle which would arrest the
process OF decomposition and extinguish
the germ of decay of all animal and vege-
table substances, without impairing their
flavor or imparting to them any injurious
effect. 1t is simply pickle of the NEST
inexpensive sort, costing less than brine
or vinegar, ia which any meat or vege-
table may he kept in open vessels, sub
merged for months, and, when taken out,
will be found as pure and fresh as when
the vegetables came from the garden or
the meat from the butchers stall. This
pickle may be furnished and prepared at
a cost OF four cents per barrel. The
pickle is so nearly tasteless and palatable
as to demonstrate its inocuousness, and
yet, from the specimen we saw yesterday,
green corn which had been immersed iu
II for twelve months, when boiled, could
not be distinguished from the corn which
had been gathered that morning. SF

Iron.Clads aud Torpedoes.

It Is pretty certain now that the con-
test between monster guns and armor
plates is drawing near its end, and that
victory will declare for the guns. While
the limit of size for cannon has not yet
been reached that OF the thickness and
consequent weight Of armor for seagoing
war vessels certainly has. In the course
of time it will be discovered that the tre-
mendous shock transmitted to ship by
by the firing Of her enormous gun Or
guns will compel new system OF con-
struction adapted to Withstand II. Con-
sidering this and the immense penetra-
tive power OF projectiles over the resist
ance offered by armor and the new models
necessary for the carriage Of great guns
the iron-clads Of to-day will sson be a.
obsolete as the Roman galley propelled
by oars. With this prospect in the near
future the nations like the United States
that nov have no iron-clad feats must be
congratulated, for their money VIII be ex-
pended, when necessary, on the floating
eun-carriages that will supersede the war
ships OF to-day. We do not hesitate to
predict that naval warfare must in time
be conducted practically according to
the same tactics as now govern held
artillery in action. The gun-ships must
be detached. and what may be termed
aisson, or ammunition-ships, employed
to supply them.
But another element of destruction in
war threatens the whole iron-clad System
and must revolutionize naval construc-
tion. The torpedo is now the recognized
weapon for the attack and defense OF
harbors and blockading squadrons. These
invisible mines dot the channels or shoot
beneath the surface toward the doomed
vessel, guided with unerring accuracy
from the shore or torpedo-ship. The
effect of such terrible engines, when nred
