NEW POSTAL SERVICE SCHEME.
Proposition to Attach Small Postal
Cars to Cable Trains.

10 AUISCn small POSTAL
Cars to Cable Trains.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-Postmaster-
General Wanamaker is just now much
interested in the scheme of Postmaster
Harlow of st. Louis, now in Washington

anime 1000 models of house letter boxes.
His plan is to facilitate the collection and

PRODUCTION Of a system very much like
that of the railway mail service He
wants to attach a small postal car to some
OF the cable trains. All collections would
be turned into sub-stations and from
these points sent directly to the station
nearest the Postoffice. Postal-cars would
run on schedule time, so that business
men could time their letters very closely.
The directors of the most important
street-car lines in St. Louis consider the
scheme practicable. The expense over
that of the present system, it is believed.
would be small compared with the quick
service and vastly increased postal
facilities thus placed with in the easy
reach of public patronage.

PRUssIAN GRAIN DUTIES.
Won Caprivi Addresses the Diet on the
Subject.


Subject.
BERLIN, June FIN the lower house
of the Prussian Diet debate on the grain
duties was resumed. Won Caprivi de-
clared that it was impossible for the Gov
ernment to submit to the house reports
which have been received from
foreign countries in regard to
inquiries made by the Govern
ment in regard to grain matters.
But" the Chancellor added, comment
ing on the Russian report, there is no
danger that Russia will not supply suffi-
cient grain for the use of Germany"
In conclusion, the Chancellor strongly
protested against the reproach. The Gov
ernment had not paid due consideration
to the welfare of the working people.
After considerable additional debate,
Rickerts motion, that the Government
should submit to the House material
upon which the Chancellor based his
recent speech upon grain duties, was re-
jected by vote of 223 TO 20.

Base Metals.

Some rare metals, possessing special
qualities, are required for certain work.
Thus palladium is used in making some
parts of time-pieces, and iridium for the
points of gold pens. Lithium is the
fightest of metals. Rhodium is ex-
tremely hard and brittle and is only
fusible at very high temperature, and
iridium is the heavist substance hitherto
discovered. The uninitiated have no idea
of the value of these scarce products,
which are, most OF them, far more pre-
cious that gold or silver.
