the State the part of the fortiication and the glacis immediately adjoining the park, and now declare that they cannot afford to leave so great a space unproductive. The execution of their plan would necessitate the felling of all the trees planted after the war of 1870 along the glacis from the Porte Maillot to the Porte dAuteuil, proposition which is offensive to all classes. The present agitation, however, probably is strong enough not only to preserve the Bois but all such open spaces as still exist.
 The Figaro and other journals insist that the idea of converting any part of the Notifications into building ground be abandoned, and that the glacis, instead of being levelled, must be kept as a garden. The Bois de Bou- logne now covers an area of about 4,20O acres, and the space occupied by the Notifications, which form a ribbon round the city nearly twenty miles in length and quarter of mile broad, has a total area of about 5000 acres. The conservator of the Bois, M. Fores- tier, is one of the most active opponents of the Councils building project, which. if it were permitted and found suf1i- ciently lucrative, would be doubtless extended, indefinitely, in the near fh- ture.

Dr. Edward Wilmot Blydon, who has just been received at the Elysee by President Loubet as envoy extraordi- nary and minister plenipotentiary of the Republic of Liberia, is said to be probably the ablest living man of color. He has rendered great service to his race, both in Liberia and in the British West African colonies. The special ob- ject of his mission is connected with the delimitation of the frontier be- tween Liberia and French territory. French territory touches Liberia on two sides, and with British nearly sur rounds the republic.

THE FOUNTAIN COMPLETED.
 of this being the limit to which the wa ter can rise in the fountain. The top of the low wall should be nicely round- ed and smoothed. The upper end of the supply-pipe should have spray nozzle, so that shower of spray may be sent up, to fall gracefully over into the wa ter of the tank. The height to which the water will rise depends, of course. upon the force with which the water is pressed through the supply-pipe from its source. It also depends upon the nozzle. A very fine spray will not rise to the height of a coarser spray, or . solid stream of water. Much of the work of making such a fountain can be done by the owner of the place, in which case the only expense would be for little cement and the iron pipe.

NAVIGATION IN 4 FOG.

Much relief was felt yesterday when il was
learned that the steamship Which had grounded
off Fire Island before dawn was engaged in
carrying freight only, and was not large At
lantic liner having many hundred passengers
on board. The accident itself, however, like
the similar experience of the Drumelzier two
or three weeks ago, shows that the art of
approaching the coast safely in a fog has not
been fully mastered. If a judiciOus use of the
lead had been made by the captain of the Indus,
he would have realized his peril in time to avoid
lodging on a sand bar. He was not embarrassed
by a heavy sea or a high wind, and it was an
easy matter to take soundings. Such precau-
ton would have shown him the wisdom of
anchoring until he knew definitely where he
was
Other means also are now being placed at
the disposal of navigators Of steamships with
a view to enhancing security in a fog. One
is pair Of telephones, so arranged as to pick UP
signals sent through the water by a bell, either
on shore or on another vessel. The apparatus
makes 1t possible to determine with reasonable
accuracy the direction from which the sound
proceeds. and the number of strokes can be
made TO tell where they originate. The Cana
dian government was expected to install bells
for this purpose at several points along the ST.
Lawrence last year. If the plan were carried
out it can hardly be doubted that some of the
big vessels which go up and down that river
would soon be equipped with the instruments
needed for the utilization Of the system. There
is one other piece Of information which subma-
rine signals alone do not convey. They do not
indicate the distance Of the place of origin
from the ship on which they are heard. The
degree of distinctness affords a hint, but not a
close approximation. 1t has been proposed.
therefore, TO emit a short blast from a fog
horn simultaneously with the strokes of the
bell. Sound travels nearly a mile a second by
water, and four or five times as slow through
the air. A difference of three seconds in the
reception Of signals by the two routes would
mean that they came from d spot 1000 or 5000
feet away.
1t should also prove practicable TO employ
wireless telegraphy in ascertalning the distance
of an invisible station from which warnings
were issued. In recent issue of "The Elec-
trical World and Engineer George II. Morse
suggested a combination of Hertz waves and
sound waves. The latter might be excited by
firing a gun, whose report would be conduct
ed by the air with velocity of a mile in five
seconds. A single brief impulse from q wire
less telegraph transmitter would be felt on the
ship instantaneously supposing. of course, that
she had suitable receiver. Here. again, would
be afforded the basis for a simple, rapid and
fairly trustworthy computation. Mr.. Morse be-
neyes that the apparatus requisite for indicat-
ing distance could also be made TO tell the d.
rection from which the signals were sent Very
little experiment should be necessary to develop
the system here outlined. If inventors would

RRoNr PARK is SAFE.

Good citizens whose praiseworthy zeal for tne
protection of the parks in the permanent inter-
est of all the people carried them to the extreme
of declaring that the Rapid Transit Commission
was eager to deface Bronx Park with elevated
railroad structures must be sorry they mace
that accusation. At yesterdays meeting Presl-
dent Orr assured those who were present to
protest against the adoption of any such scheme
that the commission was wholly opposed to an
invasion of the parks, and motion of Mr.
Jesup it was unanimously resolved that In the
opinion of the commission subway entlreiy
underground ought TO be the only kind OF trans
portation line permitted in them. 1t may Do
said that the commission would have taken
different course except for the indignant re-
monstrances addressed to it during the last fort
night but we cannot think there is any warrant
for that assumption. We like demonstrations of
public solicitude for the preservation of the
parks, and are glad to believe that in general
way this latest display of feeling has served
useful purpose, but we have never been afraid
that the Rapid Transit Commission would ap-
prove that part OF Mr. Parsons's report to which
SO much hostility has been manifested. 1t has
been reported that, inasmuch as the law under
which the commission acts forbids the occupa-
ton of the parks by elevated or surface rail-
roads, determined effort would be made to re-
move the restriction by means of new legisla-
tlou DuJ 1t is now evident tnaC IL WOuiu DE IoOl-
ish to attempt anything of the sort
The growth of a sound public sentiment re-
garding the parks has been exceedingly crafty
ing Formerly 1t was not an easy thing to de-
feat schemes involving their misuse, and more
than once in comparatively recent years some
act Of spoliation has seemed almost inevitable.
But every escape has made the next less doubt
full, and we may reasonably hope that here
after the schemers will always find themselves
on the defensive from the outset. Public opin-
ion on the subject ought to be strong and set
tied that incessant vigilance would be unneces-
sary, and we have faith to believe that it will
be before very long
