some time ago, has come into opera
tion, although for the present it is
only experimental. In front of the
Royal Exchange has been placed an

in penny, the purchaser obtains an
outer envelope, inclosing q small
white envelope and card, ON which the
desired communication can be writ

box providing the necessary resting
place, At the same time an electric
bell calls messenger from the nearest
post Office. Where express delivery OF
the parcel is desired, the arrival ofthe
messenger must be awaited, but
a letter may be deposited in the mes
sage receptacle for immediate dis
patch. The necessary fee has, in
every case, to be inclosed in the en-
velope addressed, and should the
payment be insufficient, the addressed
will be required to pay the difference
No postage is charged for this service,
and the fees specified in the scale,
which are at the rate of so per mile,
include train and car fares. IL the
sender wishes cab to be used, he in
closes the fare in the outer envelope,
