FITTED WITH ICE PLOWS.
Tugs on River Will Soon Find Them
Useful Is Belief.

The tugs Camilla, J. o. Carter and d.
M. Key of the Taylor fleet and the tug
Minerva and the other tow boats Of the
sand towing companies were early in
the winter fitted with their ice plows.
but the ice came SO heavy that they have
had no opportunity to use them UP to
this time. 1t now looks, however, as II
they might be of service II the boats go
into commission this week. Even should
the ice now in the river become SO soft,
under the influence Of the warm sun,
that the tugs could go through 1t without
plows, the owners of the vessels will
keep the plows on them until the middle
certain that no heavy ice will again
make.
The efficiency of these appendages
about the bows Of a tug was discovered
by accident, according to an old tug
boat man. Years ago while a tug was
forcing her way through an ice field
with great difficulty her master noticed
that all at once she seemed to increase
her speed and to break the ice with more
ease. Other tugs in company with her
were still having trouble, and he was
at loss to understand how his ''old
hooker had become so brisk, when,
glancing over the bow, he saw that a
heavy forked limb of tree had been
caught across the bow, and a projecting
end broke the thick ice with ease. From
this the present ice pillow was evolved,
and it is now a part of the necessary
winter equipment of all tugs in service
on northern streams

TALKS TO BANDS OF MERCY.
Medical Director Wise Tells Of
Harsh Treatment of Animals.

IF animals could talk and the over
worked, overloaded and illfed horses OF
Washington could tell their troubles,
said Medical Director Wise, retired, vice
president of the Washington Humane 80
ciety, at meeting of Bands OF mercy
held in the Curtis School, Georgetown
yesterday afternoon, ''the thoughtiess ana
in many cases deliberate cruelty now
visited upon them by owners and drivers
would come to an end. Washington
would not tolerate for day the abuses
now practiced upon faithful beasts OF
burden, which go on unchecked In TOO
many instances because the Humane So
ciety is not always able to have man
ON the spot when offenses are COM
mitted."
The meeting, which was held through
the courtesy OF Miss Chase, the principal.
was Il large one, and brought together
all the Bands of Mercy organized by the
Humane Society in the Curtis School. The
presidents OF the various bands submit
ted reports of the work accomplished by
the members and made short speeches.,
which were enthusiastically received by
their school fellows. DIR. Wise, VINO,
with Mrs. Alexander Sharp and Miss
Mary Harold, attended on behalf or the
Humane Society, then made addresses to
the school. children in which he ponteo
out the great good that could be oone
by bows and girls of the city who would
take upon themselves to see that kind
ness should control all their dealings
with the dumb and faithful servants Oh
mankind. ~
Arrangements have been made with the
school authorities by which these as
semblages of the Band of Mercy auxfli-
airy to the Humane Society Snail DC

RAPID PROGRESS NOTED.
Work on Foundation for Bureau of
Engraving and Printing.

Excavation work on the foundations Of
the new bureau of engraving and print
ing at the foot Of 14th street southwest is
progressing rapidly. Three big steam
shovels that bite a CARLOAD of earth each
time the scoop goes into the ground are
employed upon the work, and they keep
a steady procession of dump wagons
moving from the digging grounds to Po-
tomac Park, where the excavated earth is
being deposited.
A pile Of clay and sand hundred feet
long, fifty feet wide, and ten or fifteen
feet high is now on the park waiting to
be taken to the Eastern branch on dump
scows and deposited where the dredge
Dewey can pick it up and pump it ashore
on the flats.
The moving of the earth from Po-
tomac Park to the Eastern branch, it is
said, will be started this week. The tug
James o. Carter and the lighters are
ready for service, but since the early
part of January the heavy ice on the
harbor and branch has held them up and
prevented the material from being moved.
