AMBASSADOR BAYARD


Washington, March l9.-It Is prob
able that Ambassador Bnyard Will he
instructed by cable to call the attention
of the British government to the ulti-
matum addressed to Nicaragua and to
ask for some expression In the nature
of an explanation OF the British pur-
poses. The subject must be handled
with great delicacy and prudence and
taken In connection with the attempt
Mr.. Bayard Ia making In accordance
with the German resolution adopted
by congress, TO secure submission 10
arbitration Of the boundary DISPUTE
between Great Britain and Venezuela
VIII test his diplomatic abilities to the
utmost to maintain cordial relations
with the government to which
he Is accredited while persist
ing In forcing upon its attention
the disagreeablo subjects. II is APP
pretended here In view OF the state
ments made in parliament yesterday
by Sir Edward Gray, the parliamentary
secretary for foreign affairs, that MIR
Bayard has already met with check
In his attempt to push the arbitration
matter. This would be very unfortun-
ate just at this time, for IL would oblige
the president to consider and decide
what further steps are necessary to give
effect to the intentions OF congress and
protect the republic OF Venezuela from
enoroachments upon her territory. 1t
Is felt In diplomatic circles here that
the signs are certainly evidence OF an
preaching trouble IN the South with
British warships bound for Nicaragua
10 collect indemnity under duress; with
a French war vessel bound for La GUY.
"a, Venezuela, 10 take tho expelled
French minister aboard, leaving a wide
breach Of Diplomatic relations and with
follow Great Britain example In coerc-
ing the small Central and South
American republics Into payments OF
debts and indemnities.

THE DESTRUCTIVE TeREoo.
Pf1ing of wharves and Railroad TrestIes
Ruined by 1t.

The teredo is the most destructive
marine animal we have. It enters the
submerged part Of the piling of wharves
or railroad trestles and bores into the
interior. When it penetrates the surface
of the wood it is about the size Of a pin,
but increases i'll size, always langthcn-
ing, but never leaving any part of the
hole it boies until its full mission is
accomplished. In this way it stretches
from the original pin hole entrance far
into the interior Of the wood and swells
in size to the diameter of large lead
pencil. AT the big end are the cutters,
two clam shells that rotate from side to
side and cut smooth, round hole The
worm sometimes attains the leAgth Of
ten inches
Hundreds Of such worms attack the
exposed wood at the same time, and in
a short time honeycomh it. However
numerous they are, they never interfere
with ole another, aud 10 instance Is
found where one borer has cut into or
crossed the boring of his neighbor,
though the partitions left between the
behring's are sometimes no thicker than
. a sheet of paper. Another peculiarly is
that as the places Of entrance are no
larger than pin heads and the worms re-
main and do their growing inside, the
wood may be almost entirely consumed
inside, yet the surface appears sound
and unaffected. Suddenly, without the
slightest warning, the wooden pile gives
way and its fellows follow i'll short err
der, and the wharf which appeared sub
stantal is wholly ruined.
To combat the teredo many expedients
have been resorted to. One is to sheathe
the piling i'll copper Another is to cover
the surface Of the wood with broad
headed taeks-the rust from which
spreads SO as To discourage the terodo's
operations Still another method is to
boil the wood in creosote under heavy
steam pressure, so that the creosote sat
urates the tiberS of the wood.
All these methods are efficacious, and
the creosote process is used with perfect
success in wharf and trestle building
all along the gulf coast. Its cost is the
chief drawback, single stick of creo-
sote timber costing sometimes as much
as 500 Mobile Register
