Popular Science Monthly for October will at
tract widespread attention for the rare excel
lence of its contents. The number opens with
the first of series, entitled New Chapters in
the Warfare of Science, by Hon. Andrew d.
White, late President of Cornell University.
The subject of this paper is The Doctrine of
Comets, which the author treats in a most lucid
and interesting manner. The article awakens
q lively interest in the others that are to fol-
low from the pen of this able writer. Another
phenomenon Of nature is discussed by NJ. A.
Daubree, an eminent French scientist, in A
Study of Recent Earthquakes, which goes far
to assist in the understanding of these convul-
sions. In natural history the number offers a
pleasing variety, with The White Ant: A
Theory, by Prof. Henry Drummond; The
Early Study of Planets, by Eliza A. Youmans;
and The Trading Rat, by Mrs E. D. w. Hatch
In The Energy of Life Evolution Prof Edward
ID. Cope continues the consideration of this sub
ject, discussing in an exceedingly bright and
interesting way what is generally considered
very dry and abstruse theory. Medical science
is considered by two papers-Tommasi-C rudelia
on the Reclamation of Malarous Countries, and
Tissue Selection in the Genesis of Disease, by
w. Henry Kesteven, NJ. r. c. S. DR.. W. 7.
Barnard concludes The Relations of Railway
Managers and Employees subject of much
practical interest to large number people.
Besides these there are several miscellaneous
papers and the usual excellent melange of edi-
torial and other notes on current topics. No
publication in the country has done so much as
this magazine to diffuse scientific information
and popularize subjects that in past years were
only within the comprehension of collegiates.
Its growth and marked success is the best evil
dence of the important work it is doing among
the people. Published by d. Appleton & Co.,

THE ESPECIAL DELIVERY"


On Oct the new special delivery system OF
the Post Office Department was begun. 1t pro-
vides for the Immediate delivery, IN all cities
and towns having population of 1000 or over
by the last Federal census, of letters bearing
the 10-cent special delivery stamp III addition
to the regular postage. The stamp Tor TINS
purpose is 1-f6 inches long and 1916 OF an
inch wide. These are to be sold by Postmasters
in any quantity desired to any person who
NAV apply for them. They can be used for no
other purpose than that of securing immediate
delivery of letters at Offices where they are
received Under no circumstances can they
be used for the payment of postage nor can
any other than the special stamps be used for
the special delivery. If the sender neglectS TO
stamp letter with the necessary amount of
prepaid postage, even though the special de-
livery stamp is put on, the letter will be con-
sidered unavailable and held for postage. The
system applies only to letters, and not to pack
ages of any kind.
The delivery is made by messengers, who are
required to be kept constantly on duty at the
poSt-offices designated. They are paid cents
for each letter delivered, and no more, so that,
whether the system-which is an experiment
as vets successful or not, it cannot became
public expense. The first day at the Washing
ton st-office 6S of these letters were received
and delivered. 1t is believed by the Depart
ment officials that the system will soon become
popular, as there are thousands or lDporlans
business letters mailed daily, the gaining of an
hour or two in the delivery of which may be OF
many times greater value TO the parties than
the cost of the special service.
A committee of clergymen appointed by the
Ministerial Union waited upon President Cleve-
land and demonstrated against the employment
of boys in the special delivery service on Sun
day. on the ground that it would be prejudicial
TO their moral growth. The President listened
attentively, but gave them no assurance that
the Postmaster Generals instructions would be
modified.
The following shows the number of special
delivery offices in each State, being in towns
having 1900 population or more:

"Our Former Enemies, our Present Friends"
was to have been responded to by Gen. Govan,
(Confederate,) but as he was not present it went
without response. Gen. Belknap introduced to
the brigade Mrs. Gen. Croker and two daugh-

with three cheers. as were little later Mrs.

the Cocker Iowa Brigade Reunion at Iowa City
was thing of the past, but in every way credit

During the Reunion the following Song of

AHeathen and q Preacher. i,

Once there was o man running for
the Indiana Legislature, saysthe Hatch
ct. He was himself heathen, but
lis wife and daughters belonged to the
Baptist church. During the heat of
the canvass the pastor of tho church tc
which the wife and daughters belonged
came to the candidate and said: "Broth-
-er w., have made up my mind to take
the stump for you" ii wouldn't do
that" replied Brother W., earnestly;
"you are Baptist, and if the Methodists,
Presbyterians, and so on observe that
you are taking great interest in my
election, they may get sour and vote
against me. This religious prejudice,
you know, is very qneer thing. Any
personal influence you may be able to
exert quietly, I shall be grateful for.
But be quiet about it, and don't, on any
provoca.ion, make a speech" "Weli,
then, Brother w." persisted the elder,
IF you won't let me. make speech, I
can at least preach sermon in your
behalf from my pulpit?" mo, elder,
l wouldn't do even that, for the same
reason that I have just stated. Any
little personal influence, etc., will be
appreciated, but don't preach sermon" {"
"Now, Brother w." said the despair
ing preacher. ''as you won't have
speech, and don't want sermon, you
will at least permit me to pray for your
success?" eyes, elder, you can pray
for me. It may do good, and can't pos.
sibly do any harm. The Almighty does
not vote in this DISTRICT"

Increase ofPopulation in Germany.

The German people, who were only
$4,000, 900 in 1916, are now As, 500 900,
and their present rate of increase is
greater than that of any European race.
The population, which in France only
increases by 26 a year for every 10000
and in Great Britain by only 101, in
creases in Germany by 115, and this in
spite Of vast emigration which, since
1916, has carried away 3, 500. 600. mostly
young adults. There is no sign of sus-
pension in this rate of increase, while
there are signs that it is much to rapid for
the country to support. The vast. fat.
sandy, wind-swept plain which makes
up 90 much of Northern Germany is
not fertile; the artisans, though most
industrious, find it difficult to dispose of
their labor, and in 1882 the Prussian
officials discovered that the number of
heads Of families who must be exempted
from direct taxation because they were
earning less than 1925 year exceeded
1000, 900, and what was much more
formidable, increased with every year.
