During the year just closed, with an
appropriation Of 1000, made June lS,
1878, 1000 cubic yards Of mud were
dredged from the north side OF channel
near the mouth, and small amount
from just above the mouth Of Brandy
wine Creek. In addition 81 cubic yards
Of rock were removed from the ledge
below Third street. 1t is proposed to
apply the appropriation of $500, made
March 3, 1879, to continuing the re-
moval of the fast rock. 1t Is estimated
that the amount will suffice to take out
Us yards, which will reduce the upper
surface Of the ledge below Third street
so as to give IL feet Of water. During
the year ending June 80, 1881, should
appropriation be made, it is proposed
to dredge the shoal created at the mouth
and to blast and remove the reef above

low water. The amount of material to
be removedis about $4,000 yards Of

The Largest Plant in the World.

We are accustomed to regard the great
trees of California as the most gigantic
specimens of vegetable growth known to
man, but such is not the case. There is a
submarine plant growing in the North
Pacific Ocean, which, according to Pro-
fessor Reinsch, dwarfs all others in its
vasts proportions. The Macrocystis py,S-
fern, one of the Mczanosperme, has been
known to grow to such an extent as to
cover vast areas of the ocean bed. One
specimen by measurement was found to
cooe'' three square males and the stem from
which the growth preceded was eight
feet in diameter. 1t is almost impossible
to conceive OF such a plant, or how a
system of nourishment can be maintained
through such extended channels in the
living organism. Nature performs
strange freaks, and certainly none can be
stranger than the fact that of this gigantic
species there are some specimens so
small as to be microscopic or only to be
seen by the aid of powerful detectives.
