Townsend, observer in charge of the signal office at Cape May City, N.

It has been submitted to the Treasury Depart- ment by the chiet signal officer, with afew prac- tical suggestions, and will probably be adopted. Aun extended nse of Mr. Townsend’s plan will enable shipping off the whole eoast of the United States to take advantage of the predictions of the signa) corps, which now amount tu almost absolute certainties.
