,ent of the Potomac river at Washington.

ment Of the Potomac river at Washington,
which provides for a twenty-foot channel
depth at low tide. might be amended so as
to authorize a depth Of twentyfour feet
at the same stage, and thus be in keeping
with the Improvement lately made in the
Potomac below Washington. which has a
low-water depth of twenty-four feet. AS
1t now is, with a twenty-four foot channel
below Washington, and channel at Wash
ington under improvement the authorized
project for which, as already seen only
permits of measures to secure a ruling low
water depth Of twenty feet there is posi-
bilfty that vessels destined for Washington
may occasionally and inadvertently be load
ed somewhat too heavily for the depths at
this end of the line.
THE advantage of extending the twenty
four-foot depth of the Potomac to include
Washington is stated by the chief of en-
gineers in his annual report for 1892 as
follows:
The desirability of extending the ad-
vantages of increased depth in the lower
Potomac at an early date SO that deep
draught vessels may reach the navy yard
and wharves at Washington is obvious and
need not be dwelt upon here"

Stations for Carrier Pigeons.
From the London Globe.

A result of experiments with carrier
pigeons, made of late by the German naval
authorities. is that permanent stations for
the birds are to be established at Heligo
land and Wilhelmshaven I'm the North ses,
and Friedrfchsort in the Baltic. Sixty-ons
carrier pigeon clubs have placed their birds
at the service of the German admiralty.
The trials made prove that birds can fly
home over sea a distance OF 800 kilometers
To insure the delivery OF a dispatch fo-
distances of eighty kilometers from land
two birds will carry the same message. and
for greater distances up to 800 kilometers
from three to five birds will be released,
each bearing a copy of the same message.
A minimum speed of one kilometer about
two-thirds of a mile) a minute is reckoned
upon. The general practice of sending the
message in a quill attached to q tell
feather will be abandoned. Instead, IL will
be written on thin vegetable paper slipped
into an india rubber case, and secured to
the birds foot by means of an india rubber
ring. AS the birds arrive at their homes
on land the messages will be forwarded to
the proper quarter. At the pigeon stations
on the North sea coast are wireless tele-
graphs that will retransmit the message to
the head Office. In future every warship.
excepting torpedo boats. will DO required to
carry pigeons to be released at varying dis
