Washington's Harbor Facilities.
the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star:
In your issue of the 9th instant an
article appeared regarding the italian war
ship now lying at Alexandria, Va.
The article states that the ship cannot
come to Washington. I would like to know
why, as the following named vessels OF
greater tonnage and draft have been an
chored In this harbor with no difficulty
whatever:
The U. S. s. Prairie. length AL feet,
draft of 20 feet, and the u. s. s. Lancaster,
draft of 101h feet, were here in 1903 The u.
s. s. Mayflower has been here number OF
times, and anchored pr the Washington
navy yard. with a draft of 10 feet inches,
and had no difficulty in arriving or leaving
there at any stage OF the tide.
The u. S. s. Hartford has also been to
the Washington navy yard number Of
times In the past few years, drawing 10
feet.
The monitor Puritan is now lying in the
Washington harbor, lengtn 290 feet, 600
tonnage, draft 10 feet.
As all of the ships mentioned have WIS.,
tied Washington and had no difficulty what
ever in navigating the Washington channel
I would like to know why the italian war
ship, of much less draft and tonnage,
should have to lay at Alexandria, instead
of coming directly to Washington.
During the past few years the harbor has
been greatly improved and any vessel with
a draft of % feet can enter or leave with
perfect safety. W. e. LUCKETT, Pilot.

WALLACE'S NEW JOB.
Offer Came From the marlborough
Rapid Transit Co. of New York.

The offer that induced Chief Engineer
John F. Wallace to quit his post on the
Panama canal is reported at New York
to have come from the marlborough Rapid
Transit Company of that city, operating
the elevated and subway lines, and carries
with it salary of 10000 a year. 1t will
undoubtedly be accepted.
Thomas F. Ryan, who is at the head of
the syndicate which controls the Metro
poitan Street Railway Company of New
York, and which Is expected to bid for the
construction of a new system of subways
in New York city, was asked today wheth-
er he had employed Engineer Wallace.
Mr.. Ryan said that he did not know Mr..
Wallace, had never seen him and had never
contemplated his employment in connection
with the subway or any other work.

Plans for Growing Timber.

A forest planting plan has recently been
prepared by the bureau of forestry for the
farm of Mr. Jeremiah Wood, near Glovers-
Vile, n. Y. The species recommended were
white pine, chestnut and black locust The
owner was given detailed instructions
where and how to plant these trees and all
necessary information as to their propaga-
ton and future management Wood lots oc-
cupy an exceedingly important place in
farm management. Where such wood lots
have been destroyed or do not naturally
occur 1t is essential that they be created.
This work is done under a cooperative
agreement whereby the bureau of forestry
gives assistance to landowners. large az
ANAL, in all sections of the country.

To Establish a Forest Nursery.

Application has just been received for the
preparation by the bureau of forestry of
planting plan for $500 acres of land In
Wayne county. Pa. The region is one In
which the original and highly valuable for
est growth was cut off many years ago.
The land is now covered with a scrub
growth and is unproductive both from an
agricultural and timber standpoint. An
agent OF the bureau will carefully examine
and map this tract, determine the species
which should be planted In the different
locations. establish a forest nursery, and
give all necessary instructions for the re-
foresting which is necessary. Chestnut, red
oak, yellow locust. Eastwood white, Scotch
and Norway pine and European larch are
the species which are In general suited to
this part of Pennsylvania, and all have
high commercial value.

Why n Lob,,er Tur,,. n.d

Persons living at IL remote distance
from the natural home Of the lobster
think that red Is the original color Of
that species Of crustaccan. The natu-
raj hue. however, Is green. the bcauti-
full bright brick color being the result
OF boiling to which such creatures are
subjected. Two explanations for this
change In color are given. either OF
which appears to be tenuble: Their
shells contain large per cent of iron,
and the boiling process oXidizes that
mineral, the change being almost ex-
nelly tho same as that brought about
In burning Il brick Such change in
the color OF n Holsters shell can be
brought about by the SUMS action. but
never while the lobster is living. As
rule, however, the SUMS bleaching
influence consumes the oxide almost as
fast ms it is formed, leaving the shell
pure white.
The second explanation Is that the
original green color is due to the blue
and red pigments, the blue being SOL
ublo and tho red insoluble in boiling
water. When the lobster is boiled, the
blue pigment is dissolved, leaving The
red to color the creatures shell.

AS TO THE ANTLcANTEEN LAW.

1T Is said that the WOman's Army
and Navy League, Il society composed
81 the mothers. sisters, wives AMI
daughters If officers in the two
branches of the service. will ask Con.
gre3s AT It's next session to strike from
the statute books the anti-cantccn
law, and to permit the restoration of
the post exchanges, where light wines;
and malt liquors are sold TO the en-
: listed men. From q personal study of
armypost conditions since cantcens
were abolished they are decidedly of
the opinion that the we'll meant notion
was a mistake.
The president of this league is Mrs.
John G. Kclton. widow Of the briga-
der general of that name. OF her
efforts 10 secure the repeal of the anti.
canteen law a recent issue of the

ders will soon he coming in and we
confidently predict that they will re.

result Of the abolition of the canteen.
We predict also that when officers
make an" recommendation at all on

turn of the old system as a means Of
