TENTS AS FERRY BOATS.
,ha London Standard.

From The London Standard
some curious experiments have recently been
,,ada with the new tents which the German
soldiers carry with them. The end In view Is TO
n,ate tho tents or rather their cloth, serve TO
Construct ferry boats for the soldiers baggage;
The Importance of this military novelty for actual
war Is too great to be overlooked. Pioneers
cannot always be at hand to build bridge In
coses where troops are Unexpectedly Obliged to
cross a watercourse To swim stream in full
accoutrement Is not without danger even for the
hest swimmers. In future however. the soldiers
will be relieved from this necessity by the folding
tents which they carry with them They will
collect brushwood and small branches. with which
10 weave a light framework; the tent-cloth will
be unfolded laid over the framework. and fastened
to II I'm such "A manner that the water cannot
mass through. The men will then strip and put
ali their baggage and accoutrements into the sail
cloth ferry boats. which will efectually preserve
them from getting wet. The soldiers then swim
across pushing the ferry-boats before them, so
that they will reach the opposite shore with all
their belongings dry. These experiments have
been made on large scale by the pioneers during
their recently-termnated autumn exercises; and
have led to very favorable results. both as to the
time required and the trouble occasioned BY the
Transformation. During the manoeuvres the ex-
periments are being continued and extended to
the various branches OF the service.
