Feeds the MississIDni.

According to the calculations of John
Birkenbine, of Philadelphia, the drain
age area of the Mississippi river Is :
100000 square miles, including nearly
all of the country from the Alleghenies
to the Rockies and from Canada to the
Gulf of Mexico. In his communication
to the Engineers club, Mr.. Birkenbine
estimates that one inch of rain falling
evenly over this area would equal 81,
100000, 100000 gallons of water. The
average yearly fall in the Mississippi
watershed averages from 20 to AZ
inches, according to locality. The river
has an average flow of ga, 900 cubic feet
per second.-Detroit Eyee Press.

NOVEL USE FOR TIDAL POWER,
Solar and Lunar Attraction Har-
messed in n Small way.


Various plans have been suggested
at different times for the utilization
of the energy developed by the rise and
fall of the tides, but the intermittent
character of the power has usually pre-
vented any satisfactory solution of the
problem. There is, however, one in
stance in which tide power has been
quite successfully applied in very SIM
pie manner. Along the river front at
Liverpool there is tendency for the
accumulation of all silt against the
dock walls, requiring occasional dredg-
ing for its removal. Instead of using
scoop dredges, this mud is removed at
different periods by the use of tide
power in the following manner:
Along the base of the dock walls is
laid pipe, perforated with holes, di-
rected outward, this pipe being con-
nected with the interior of the dock sys-
TEN, and suitable valves being provided
to permit or check the flow of water.
When the tide is very low, and conse1
quently the head of water measured
from the surface in the docks is at it's
greatest, a sudden opening of the con-
nection permits a rapid flushing action
of the water escaping through holes in
the pipe at the base of the walls, scour-
ing out the mud and driving it out into
the river to be carried away. As the
tides at Liverpool average about %
feet or more, it is evident that this SIM
pie form of dredging apparatus may be
very effective. and as the time chosen
for using it may be selected when the
supply of water is greatest, it does not
interfere with the regular use of tho
docks. Ultimately economical forms
of power storage will render the equal
ization of tide power commercially
practicable, but at the present time this
example serves to demonstrate the fact
that solar and lunar attraction, as ex-
pressed by the tides, have been har-
messed in "A small way at least.--Cas-

Cambridge, Mass, are pronounced by
Prof. Samuel Henshaw to be the gold
tail, or euproctis chrysorrhoea, hither-
to unknown as an inhabitant of this
country, although it is found locally
in England, and is abundant in central
and southern Europe" When numer-
Gus, these caterpillars are very de-
structive, feeding on such trees and
plants as the apple, pear, plum, haw-
thorn, bramble, elm, willow, beech,
oak, hazelnut and hornbeam. At pres
ent the invaders in Massachusetts are
said to be confined to a limited area in
Someryille and Cambridge. The first
specimens seem to have made their
appearance year ago, and thus far
they have confined themselves to pear
and apple trees. How they got across

Washington, Jan. 23.-Chief Engineer
Tower, United States navy. who was be-
fore the naval retiring board at the Wash

recommended for retirement. Mr.. Tow
er's last duties was as chief engineer OF
the battleship Indiana, but he remained
there only short time, rs he and one Of
his. assistants broke down during the
manoeuvres Of the North Atlantic squad
ron last August, and he has been under
treatment in one of naval hospitals ever
since. The assistant was retired some
months ago, but as it was thought that
Mr.. Tower would ultimately recover he
was continued ut the ship. His recovery
has been so slow, however, that the an
thorities came to the conclusion that it
would be better for him 10 be ordered
before retiring board.
He is an officer Of long service, having
served during the period OF the civil war
and has always had an important duty.
The navy register just issued shows thar
as many rs twelve engineer officers were
retired during the past year. Only four
OF them retired on account of age.
The engineer corps had 4 1.2 per cent.
of its members retired; the medical corps
1.2 per cent; the line 2 ii per cent,
and the pay corps one per cent in the
