City of St. Louis, side-wheel mail
packet that brings letters to the river
towns ON the Mississippi.
An old-time Rocky Mountain mail
coach, swung on its leather straps,
with its boots full of mail sacks, occu-
pies prominent position. 1t was
built in 1868, and was among the first
to carry the mail in Montana. Once a
week it made the run between Helena
and Bozeman. To-day four mail trains
perform the service daily. In 1877 the
old coach was captured by Indians,
and after hot pursuit by General o.
0. Howard was recaptured. Before
General Garfield became President he
rode on the coach through the Yellow
stone country, President Arthur sat on
the boot with its driver in 1883 and
General Sherman in 1877 made . trip
on the ancient vehicle.
Near the old-timer is the modern
yellow-bodied open coach used in the
Yellowstone Park for carrying tourists
and mail. 1t has usurped the proud
position once held by the stage coach,
l.
post rider, mounted on his spirited
broncho, armed with revolvers and
booted and spurred, tells of the letters
carried over alkali plains, broad
prairies and wild western lands. This
mounted group is the admiration of
the small boys, who gaze ON it with
wide-open eyes. The pony express
was the original letter-carrier across
the plains, and to-day 1000 mail routes
use ponies and bronchos. The Indian
question was a most serious one to the
men who carried mail-bags through a
country swarming with redskins. In
the dead-letter exhibit is mail pouch
stained with the blood of post rider
and slashed by the keen blade of the
Indian murderer.
From these exhibits, around which
people gather in wondering groups, to
the mail car, mail-delivery and mail
collecting wagons, the special delivery
messenger astride the bicycle, and the
familiar city carrier and railway postal
clerk, is coming from the romantic to
the realistic commonplace.
Statistics are usually dry, but the
large tabulated postal statistics from
1775 to 1898 are always the center of
an interested group. The totals reach
almost incredible figures and demon
strate the enormous business trans
acted by the Postoffice Department.
Benjamin Franklin was the first post
master general. He was appointed by
the Continental Congress July 26,
IT'S, and apparently made no report
of the work done i'll his department.
Samuel Csgood, appointed September
| 26, 1889, who was the first postmaster
general Of the United States to hand
down reports, had seventy-five post
offices to look after in 1883, and 1916
miles OF post routes. The gross revenue
for the year amounted to $3.50, and
postmasters were paid $l657 for sal
aries, The total number of mail
pieces Of all kind handled was 500, 900,
| evidently an estimate.

WEIGHT OF A CROWD.

!l 1nents Show 1t La from 40 to 1870
N Pounds Per Square Foot.
lHhe load which is produced by a
4nse crowd Of persons is generally
afen at so to 100 pounds per square
Dot and is considered to be the
reatest uniformly distributed load
which floor need be proper
nned. That this value may be
Mgely exceeded in an actual crowd
Ms pointed out by Prof. w. G. Ker-
Ypts OF the Melbourne University,
australia, in recent paper before
ne Victorian Institute Of Engineers.
@ an actual trial class of students
averaging 1895 pounds each In
weight were crowded in lobby con-
kaining 1923 square feet, making an
GHerage floor load of 134.7 pounds.
4here was still room to have placed
mother man, which would have
Drought up the loading to 143.1
pounds per square foot.
Frof. Kernot also quoted from
eoney, who placed fifty-eight Irish
poorars, averaging las pounds each
q weight, in an empty ship deck.
hDuse measuring flfty-seven square
neet door area. This was a load of
az1.4 pounds per square foot. In
smother test, with seventy-three la
bcrers crowded into a hut nine feet
Ay eight feet eight inches. Stoney
produced q load OF 143 pounds Der
square foot, and estimated that two
or three more men could have been
squeezed In. 1t appears from these
experiments that while the figures
ordinarily assumed of 80 to 100
pounds are sufficiently correct on
spaces on which there Is no cause to
induce the collection OF great crowds,
larger figures, say l40 to $50 pounds
Per square foou, should be used for
railway stations and platforms, en-
Tances and exits to places of public
assemblies or Of office buildings,
bridge sidewalks, pavements over
vaults and other places where dense
crowds are likely to gather. -Engi-

dress are on the envelope will receive
the letter. Few of them, however, APP
preciate the fact that the stamp places
the United States Government under
q cast-iron contract to place that letter
in right hands at the earliest possible
moment, even though the hands are
telling trees in the almost inaccessible
depths of an upper Michigan pine for
est, or working in the tangles of a
Florida everglade. To do this the
Government uses human legs, wagons,
bicycles, railroads, steamboats,, dog
sleds, horses, ponies, ocean vessels,
river boats and anything else that will
carry the letter over land or water,
mountains or plains, swamps or snow
drifts, in summer or in winter, at all
times and any time.
Lives have been sacrificed that let
ter might go forward, millions of dol
lars have been spent preparing the
way for other letters and yet people
place the two-cent stamps on their en-
yelopes and drop the letters into the
red boxes on the street corners with no
appreciation of what they are doing
A visit to the Postoffice exhibit in the
Government Building is apt to increase
ones respect for the little postage
stamp. There are displayed all the
means used for transporting mail, as
well as thousand other interesting
things which might keep visitor busy
half day.
