CATCHING MAIL BAGs.-One of the most
interesting features OF the Postal Car system
is the Catching Service" by which the mails
are taxed up at the stations along the route
without checking the speed of the trains. The
bag is hung on frame erected beside the
track so as to be within reach OF the agent
car is an iron arm, which
us of handle acting as .
approaches the station
n the car window, the arm
the suspended pouch is
ged firmly against the side
MT of the V formed by the
extended iron rod. 1t is then Immediately
opened and sorted, and the mail for the next
station is made up and placed ready to be
thrown out. This process is repeated many
times along the route, and the constant re-
ception and delivery of mails adds greatly to
the labo1s of the clerks.
Sometimes bags are missed or knocked
down 0y the arm attached to the car, but
never when they are properly suspended
The force with which they are jerked up by
the express trains soon destroys the bags
employed in the service; but. as. they are in
expensive canvass sacks, it is a matter of
slight consequence, considering the many ad-
vantages OF the service.-N. Y. Eueninq
