 During the naval parade in New York
 the experiment was tried of using carrier pigeons in the messenger service, and with | such satisfactory results that the secretary of the navy has decided to place a pigeon cote on board the United States cruiser New York as a regular part of her outfit. G. W. Childs of Philadelphia furnishes the
 cote and friend of his the birds. This is
 probably the beginning of establishing na-
 tional lofts with pigeons for the service.
 Crime has reached terrible state all
 over Argentina, says the British consul at Rosario, the second city of importance in
 the republic 'tStatistios show that it has more than doubled during the past two years. Rosario has obtained for itself the name of the City of Crime,' and with req son, as the local gaol holds no less than 6fty-two prisoners for murder, and this where statistics show that only 40 per cent. of criminals are captured, of whom half are liberated or escape. Murder and robbery are of daily occurrence. It is now fftesn years since the death penalty has been en- forced"
 The will of the late William Price, of Glsmorgan, surgeon, Arch Druid of Wales, who died in January, aged ninety-two years, ordere: "When I shall cease to be in my present tenement, called or baptised by the name of William Price, my trustee shall take up my old tenement, clothed ss she shall find 1t, and shall put 1t up in a sitting position in the old chair of my uncle, Hugh Jones, and deposit 1t within the triangle on Caeyr Lsan, upon one cord of wood and two tons of coal, which are to be saturated with parsffin and set on fire at monday, and when not an atom remains the dust is to be sown upon the ground within the triangle, so that grass and nat ural flowers may grow"
 Colorado has Q subterranean lake of con- siderable extent, covered with soil about eighteen inches deep. On the soil is culti- vated field of corn, which produces thirty bushels to the acre. The ground is 6 black marl In nature, and in all probability was at one time an open body of water, on which accumulated vegetable matter, which has crust sufficiently strong and rich to produce fine corn. While harvesting the hands catch great strings of fish by mak- ing hole through the earth. A person rising on his heel and coming down sud denly can zee the growing corn shake around him. Anyone having sufficient strength to drive rail through the crust will find on releasing 1t that 1t will dis appear altogether.
 MT. Siles, the designer of the Paris and the New York, expects that within the next ten years steamships will make thirty knots an hour. By building the engines of nickel steel, which is forty to fifty per cent. stronger than ordinary steel, but now costs too much; by finding light boilers for ocean steamships, such, for example, as are now used on torpedo craft, and by using oil instead of coal as fuel, twenty three hours, as he reokons, can be gained between Sandy Hook and Queenstown. Then, by employing @ vessel 1 1000 feet long, with 100 feet beam and thirty feet draught, and relatively more powerful machinery, together with the foregoing sp- pliances, he would expect thirty knots an hour and 6 crossing of the Atlantic in . little over four days.
