A Major Who Would Trair

"Jof Nho "ehta AFhth Ne@ t"ihs
 Major Allatt, who is himself a prac- tical pigeon flyer, states that the Italians employ pigeons very considerably in the Mediterranean in connection with their ships of war. The French also use them regularly and systematically in tho Mediterranean during their naval ma neuvers. This officer, however, is of the opinion that if we are going to use birds to fly over water for naval purposes, ducks would be better than pigeons, be- cause when duck gets tired he drops and sits on the water until he is rested and then goes on again. Ducks, more over, can fly by night, while pigeons cannot. Major Allott thinks that sea gulls might be trained also for message bearing purposes, ,--Londcu Nsws

A Clock Run by a GeYser.

Amos Lane is at work on an invention which cannot fail to be one of the at fractions of the town when completed.
 It consists of 8 large clock, the figures of which can be seen from the hotel, the motive power for which will be the ever boiling geyser. The clock will be erected in some spot where it will be prominent. The. geyser bubbles and rises every thirty-eight seconds, as regu- lar as clockwork would require, and every time it does so it will raise lever that will move the clock exactly thirty eight seconds ahead. Thus it can be made to keep perfect time, besides being the only one of the kind in the world. we will venture to say.-Amedee Geyser.

Hamburg and Havre Infected and the
 Scourge May Cross the Ocean.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. - The state de- partment has received cable message from our consul at Hamburg stating that fatal cases of cholerine reported as prevailing in that port have been pronounced genuine Asiatic cholera, and that Hamburg has been officially proclaimed as a cholera infected port.
 Consul Oscar F. Williams, at Havre, re- ports an epidemic of Asiatic cholera at that place, with many deaths, and advises an inspection of the fast liner La Touraine, due here Saturday, Aug. 27. These facts have been communicated to the health officers of Staten Island, and every pre- caution will be taken by them in the matter, especially in view of the fact that the epidemic has now reached two of the most important ports in Europe with which the United States has direct com munication-Hamburg and Havre. The latest news here expresses a doubt whether the cholera has not also reached Antwerp
 The great importance of this information in view of the great amount of travel be tween the United States and Europe, was at once appreciated by the state depart ment, and the dispatches were sent over tc the treasury department officers for com municstion to the supervising surgeon gen eral of the marine hospital service foi prompt precautionary action.
 Assistant Secretary Spaulding and Sur geon Austin, of the marine hospital service at once had conference looking to the best methods to be employed to prevent the in troduction of cholera into this country. Il was decided to inform the health officers oi New York and Baltimore of the condition of affairs, and also to notify the immigrant inspectors. Secretary Spaulding is in com munication with the agents of the steam ship liues, with a view to having immi grants effects thoroughly disinfected on tho other side of the water. Steamers coming direct from Hamburg arrive at the follow ing American ports: New York, Boston Baltimore, Portland, Me, and Philadelphia
