THOSE LIVELY ENerNEKRs.
Fewpeople, even among those interested in the
guard, have any idea Of the valuble work which
has been done by the engineer corps. For more
than year the corps has been hard at II, and
now the fruits Of their labor appear in the shape
OF the finest and most infinitely accurate map
OF the District ever compiled. The magnitude
OF the undertaking had no effect upon the sur
veyors' enthusiasm, for they kept at it with
praiseworthy persistency until every detail was
on record. large number OF errors In govern
ment and private maps were discovered and
corrected. The citizens executive committee
| Is now negotiating with the corps for the publi-
cation of the map. The present condition Of

pecially interesting TO the veterans who will be
here In september; that Is why the executive
committee wants the map. Every one who has
seen the production regards it as an honor to
the engineer corps and q great credit to the
guard.
Those engineers are alive on all sides Of the
question. To their signal squad they have
added a smaller squad. which will pay particu-
lar attention to homing pigeons. A loft will be
ntted up IN the armory, and it will probably be
in charge of DR.. Manson, who has one of the
best private lofts in the city.
