The Troublesome Mississippi River.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2.-The
naval officers who have charge of the
work at the station of New Orleans,
report considerable difficulty on ac-
count of the uncertain condition of the
Mississippi river. 1t will be neces-
sary soon to improve the levee at
Algiers, La, where the naval station
is, and the difficulty SO far encounter
ed by the authorities is that contrac-
tors are not willing to undertake the
project for the available amount ap-
propriated by congress. There is too
great risk in assuming obligations for
work in connection with the Missis-
sippi river, and it is probable that
much of the contemplated improve
ment will have to be done by days la
Dor by the authorities at the naval sta
ton A movement is on foot to en-
gage the army engineers on the task
and to employ in that connection the
army dredges in the neighborhOod. 1t
is necessary to have the work of i'm
provement and protection undertaken

AN ORDER FOR MANY

Understood That Russian Government
Is Also Trying to Place An
Order in United States.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Nov. 1.-The E.
w. Bliss company of this city is max
ing preparations for charging its
plant so as to be able to fill the con-
tract just placed with the company by
the United States government, for
$2,00O,O0O worth of dirigible electric
torpedoes of the kind which the COM
pany patented several years ago. The
navy department has been expert
menting with these torpedoes for the
past two years and, after exhaustive
tests, established, beyond question
their efficiency,
1t is understood that the Russian
government is also trying to place a
contract with the company Russia
wants $5,0OO,0O worth of the same
dirigible torpedoes. Whether the COM
pany will take the contract depends
in part on the attitude of the United
States government and in part on the
ability of Russia to guarantee the
payment.

Paints Hens Green-"Lay Better"

SOUTH ORANGE, N. j., Nov. 2.-P.
J. Walsh, who keeps the Hunters Rest
at South Orange and Mum avenue,
has painted mis- flock of chickens green.
Until a few days ago they were of the
ordinary motley in which nature garbs
the common garden fowl. But Mr..
Walsh noticed that they had way of
vanishing into the bush, and he
quickly concluded that ia paint the
birds green might save their lives for
a while.
I've painted them,'' Mr.. Walsh
confessed today. You see, the grass
is turning brown now and the leaves
are turning red; 1 can spot my chick
ems as far off as 1 can see 'em. There
is no danger of having them absorbed
by some constituencies gallinophagist,
and moreover, I'll tell you a queer
thingt My colored hens lay mucn
fresher eggs than any other hens in
the neighborhood.'
'Why?" he was asked.
Because they're so green" said Mr..
Walsh, solemnly.
