POSTAL

Will any one tell US why we should be
behind all the world IN c~heapening commu-
n~ication by telegraph. In all the countries
of Europe the telegraph is under govern
ment control, and in all of these, with the
exception of Turkey and Russia, the cost
to the people is less than in the United
States. In Belgium messages of ten words
are sent anywhere in the kingdom for ten
cents in Switzerland for ten cents Greece,
eighteen cents /; France, from ten to twenty
cents and in all the other countries from
fifteen to twenty-five cents, according to
distance. In England the uniform rate of
twenty-five cents is charged for each mes
sage Of twenty words sent anywhere within
the United Kingdom, which includes free
delivery within a distance of one mile from
the telegraph Office. 1t was thought that
this would prove a burden on the Govern
ment, but the result proves the contrary,
the net revenue from this source being
81, 100000 in gold for the year ending April
l, 1872. While all the other countries of
the world have been reducing the cost of
t~elegraphing, and as a consequence utilizing
the discovery, in the United States the
tariff has been generally increased. Must
we be thus forever behind countries which
we claim to lead in all great local move
ments? 1t is only the power of organized
capital that prevents the adoption of one
of the grandest reforms of modern times
that is, the connection of the Telegraph witt
the Postal service.

NEW ROCK.

We have received from d. Appleton &
Co., The Forms of Water in Clouds,
Rivers, Ice and Glaciers" by Professor
Tyndall. This fine treatise leads off the
International Scientific Series which Apple
ton & Co. are now publishing, and which
we have hitherto extensively advertised.
The book contains q preface from Pro-
fessor e. L. Youmans, to whose efforts the
collection of these valuable works is
mainly due. He has thus added another
to his many claims as a public bcnefactor.
We doubt if any other man now liv-
ing has done so much to bring science
within reach of the masses; MS he. This
book treats Of subjects upon which
Professor Tyndall is, perhaps, the high
est living authority and is an adj
mirable example of that vivid, stirring,
impressive style for which its author
is so distinguished. Professor Tyndall IS
not only a master in the ''scientific use of
the imagination" but in kindling the action
of that faculty in his readers. He writes
in pictures, so as to make them see what
he sees. In this volume he addresses him.
self directly to his juvenile friends, groups
them around him, takes them with him to
his ~fayorite mountains, and thus adds a
dramatic element and the effect of personal
sympathy to familiar colloquial exposition.
The International Scientific Series will
form an elegant and valuable library Of
popular science, fresh in treatment, attrac-
tive in form, strong in character, moderate
in price, and indispensable to all who care
for the acquisition of solid and seryiceable
knowledge and it is commended to Amer
lean readers as a help in the important
work of sound public education.
This series should be in the library Of
every school and every growing family.
The next book will be upon ''Politics and
Physics" by Sir Walter Bagohot.

fire /; hours, indeed, might elapse before
they reach it. / have known an instance
of nearly two days burning of the end of
q joist, just under a fire place, and yet the
beam not burn off, only deeply charred.
The fire cannot get through the bricks /;
but it would soon find its way through a
wood floor, and then with ventilation it
would soon reach the garnet. In short,
the whole building would be in flames
within half an hour. Brick floors do not
prevent fires, but they prevent confiagra-
tons. No city can be burnt with brick
floors, nor has a house been burnt within
the city of florence during my residence
here of thirty-fve years."

THE LEGISLATURE.

The. Virginia Sentinel, in calling attention
to the r~eassembling of the Legislature.
pitches into our Solons rather sharply. 1t
says:
In their brief anti-hoIiday session they have
most sorely disappointed us. In the matter of
the State debt they have sought to nullify and
set aside the judicial branch of government
they have exhibited a disposition to adopt a mar
row, bigoted, unwholesome, restrictive policy as
to internal improvements, by outside capital;
they have proclaimed fear of its political effect,
as their motive for repeating a good law, reject
ing an opportunity for large state revenue by
the proper taxing of worthless ours. and viola.
ting one of the safest principles of state polity.
Everybody seems to scold the Legislature
and to belittle its work nowadays. We
are not by any means pleased with all its
acts and sins of omission and commission.
1t may very likely be numerous around its
door. But we consider that body quite
the equal of any that we have ever seen
here. It's members are generally honest,
high-minded and patriotic men. They
differ from us on many points touching
the public interest. They are undoubtedly
as sincere as we are, and we hope to see
them take up every subject in the spirit Of
Investigators rather than as partisans. Par
tisan legislation will forever be unfruitful
and vicious. Let our Legislature close
their doors to all special jobs, confne
themselves to general laws, and study the
merits of every question presented to them
in the enlarged and liberal spirit of states
men, and such errors will be corrected,
adequate remedies found for all abuses,
aud a body of wise laws enacted, fruitful
Of good to the State. They will thus make
an enduring reputation for themselves and
secure the gratitude Of the people.

HIRAM POWERS, the sculptor, writes
from Florence to the New York Eeeniay
Post to tell how buildings should be erect
ed in order to avoid fire. His plans are,
first-the abandonment of all wood floors.
Second-the floors to be made Of bricks,
thus sealing dowl all ventilation in case Of
fire. Afoor of wood may, however, be
laid on bricks. Third-the stairs to be
metallic, or Of stone. Fourth-the rafters
of the roof, like the joists of the floors, to
be all bricked over before putting on the
states or tiles. He adds that joists and
rafters will take fire, and in Florence often
do. "But" he says, with a. floor of
bricks laid with mortar upon them the
