Paris now claims to have the most COM
pleue and handsome postoflce building in
the world, and this is a matter Of general
concern, inasmuch as vast bulk Of the mail
from America to the eastern countries IS
handled in that city. The building stands
three very high stories and a raised roof
above the surface and with the addition of
the cellars there is depth Of eighty feet to
be utilized in distributing mail matter.
This gave occasion for putting in a novel
system Of rapid transmission which is
thought to be the most perfect in the world.
The cut here given represents fully that part
of it in which the hosting is by regular
machinery, but owing to the small scale the
tubes for pneumatic transfer are not well
shown. These are both for steam and lot
air, and by their operation packages are

transferred from any one story to another as
easily and promptly as by wave of the
hand A famous engineering firm devised
and completed the entire apparatus and put
it in place and in working order in five
months from the time they first received the
order. The work was expedited by the use
of the old steam and heating machinery,
over which they raised the pneumatic and
hosting structure. 1t is to be noted that the
rapid transfer is for letters and the slower
for packages, and it is estimated that with
this machinery all the mails from all sections
of the world may be distributed and boxed
or reshipped SO rapidly and easily that there
will be no delay or accumulation, even if the
amount should suddenly be quadrupled.

PAN-ANGLICANS IN SESSION.
terian conference, representing the two dis
tinctive types of the great division to
church government-that by bishops, episco-
pal, and that by elders or presbyters. The
division dates from the earliest ages of the
church, and the researches Of scholars often
conduct them TO local churches of the Second
and Third centuries, in which it is impossible
TO decide whether the simple superintendent
OF caretaker was more bishop or an elder.
1t is not easy to trace the establishment Of
the Pan-Angelican council, as it has been
some twenty years in taking form; it had its
origin in a sort of general missionary move
ment, was powerfully stimulated by the
notion of American bishops, and is now rec
Dgnized as the great representative gathering
Of the church. But it is not legislative
body, like the late Methodist quadrennial
conference or a maker of standards, like the
once famous convention of Canterbury; it is
merely an advisory body, and though the
views there expressed carry great weight, as
those of eminent Christian scholars naturally
would, yet there is no power in the council

THOSE who go into society in Washing ton are already speculating on the prospects under the new administration. The Nor tons are immensely wealthy, and the gay butterflies are already looking forward to a brilliant social regime. Mrs Morton is an experienced and noted social leader, and everything in her past life indicates that she will take the lead in the social race at the capital. The vice president-elect's pos sessions in Washington are really enor- nous. One of the most pretentiuos and noble buildings in the whole city is the Morton apartment house, and he owns scores of houses besides. He could spend valuable house or two in an entertain ment during the season, if it pleased Mrs Morton to do so, without feeling cramped by the result four years hence.
