Feeding Horses Automatically.

The Maine man who rugged up COM
mon alarm clock SO that il would ODen
Il Sluice and let some grain fall into the
horses feed box al Z certain hour in
the morning is doubtless an original
inventor in one sense of the term. but
the plan is in operation in New York
and other cities on Il still larger scale
One clock. specially designed. is made
10 operate from twenty To forty clocks
in Il single stable. ami perhaps dozen
stables are now 80 equipped. These
are mostly owned by milk companies.
II j. often dpsirabl 10 have horses fed
at Il very early hour. and this plan
makes il i.ossible TO give them grain or
any other dry stuff. which can BE- stored
for hours and then dropped through
hopper long before the man who must
clean and harness them is out of bed
The boxes that contain the food over
night have trap doors in the bottom
and are provided with suitable spouts
discharging into the manger From
each trap door IL wire runs to the clock,
which Is arranged 10 liberate at the
designated hour n heavy weight that
moves a lever 10 which all these wires
are faStened.-New York Tribune.

The Light Wheel.

Those who preach in favor OF the
aluminium wheel. which is 10 come.
have forgotten to give 1t one of the
greatest virtues 1t will have. when it
gets here, says the Wheel. Being so
much lighter than others, all the scorch-
ers will of course ride it. SO when they
run over any one the injury will be
very much less than that caused by the
heavier wheel f steel. This alone Is
enough to cause an intense longing for
the speedy arrival of the weightless
aluminium w wneel.

STREET RAILWAY MAILS.
A Request for the Introduction of
Them Here.

Them Here.
A committee appointed at a recent meet
irg of the Columbia Heights Citizens As
sociaticn, consisting of John +. G.sburne.
chairman; V. NJ. Hustled and Thomas j.
Ldsier, have addressed request to Post
master Willett, asking that the street rail-
way mail service, which has been put into
operation in Boston, New York, st. Louis
and ether cities, be introduced here in
Washington and placed on the Washington
and Georgetown line, with a view to giving
Columbia Heights and Mt. Pleasant the
benefit Of it. Attention is called to the
fact that that part of the city Is over two
miles from the central Office, and that
ecessarily there is considerable unavoid-
able loss of time in the postal service as
at present conducted by means of car
riers sent frcm the main office. With the
introduction of asphalt pavements and
other municipal Improvements in that sec
tion of the city, tremendous strides have
been made in private development, and
there are great many persons living there
VINO conduct important business of various
Kinds, making extensive use of the mails.
Among these are several contractors, who
receive their mail at their houses, Justice
Harlan of the Supreme Court, Mrs. John
A. Logan the Hammond Sanitarium, the
Chinese embassy and numerous other large
and important interests which would jus-
tify the new service.
1t is said that Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General Nelson who is a thorough
going convert to the Idea of street railway
mail service, desires to have it introduced
here in Washington, where it would be
demonstration in the hands of one of the
best post office forces in the United States
and where cable and electric roads afford
an excellent opportunity for it.

FELL FROM AN AWNING POLE.
Serious Accident Today to nm Eleven
Year-Old Boy.

Year-Old Boy.
George Glorious, eleven years old, son of
the florist who lives at 4th and r streets
northwest, met with a serious and perhaps
fatal accident about 8 o'clock this morn
Ing while climbing an awning pole. The
boy had left his home only few minutes
before the accident happened, and had gone
out to play. His amusement consisted in
gymnastic performances on the awning
pests and cross pieces. While thus en-
gagged he lost his hold on the post and fell
a distance of fifteen feet to the ground. He
struck on his head. and bystanders believed
that the force CT the fall had killed him.
A messenger was hurried to the wood
and coal yard of kimpton & Lewis, two
squares away, and message sent over the
telephone to send the dead wagon, that the
boy had been killed.
The dead wagon was sent to the scene of
the accident. but it had then been ascer-
tanned that the boy was not dead His
skull. 1t was thought, was fractured. He
was unconscious when picked up, and he
was hurried to Pre- violence Hospital, where
the surgeon found him suffering from con-
cusSion of the brain. So serious were the
boys injuries that 1t was thought he would
not live many hours. but a successful op-
Grafton was performed, and now it is
thought he may possibly recover, although
the chances are decidedly against him.

THE REGISTER OF WILLS
No One at the White House Knows the
Cause of the Delay.
Mr. Pruden Did ns He Was Instructed
panied by COl.Wrisht's Resignation

There is no one at the White House at
present who can throw any light on the
subject of the District registership. beyond
the fact that Col. Wrght's successor has
not been announced. AS mas already been
stated in The Star, Col. Wright teI.dered
his resignation to the President several
weeks ago on receiving an intimation from
the President, through Acting Private Sec
retary Pruden, that he was prepared to
name his successor. Maj. Pruden visited
Register Wright in his office in the city
hall, and conveyed this intimation in per-
son.
Did as He Was Directed.
Anybody acquainted with Mr.. Pruden's
careful and precise methods Of conducting
official business knows that he did exactly
what he was instructed to do in this mat
ter, both as to the manner and time of the
notice served upon Col. Wright. 1t Is not
regarded as likely that Mr. Pruden acted
cn his own responsibility in any feature of
this case, particularly in the important
question of the time that Mr.. Wright
should be asked to resign. The statement
that Mr.. Pruden took upon himself the
duty of reminding the President that the
time had arrived for the appointment of a
rev register is regarded as extremely i'm
probable by persons familiar with the
Presidents rules in the matter of appoint
ments. OF all employees at the Executive
Mansion. Mr.. Pruden is the least likely to
suggest course of action to the President
A Blank Commission Sent.
Probably the most iiex plicable feature OF
the delay in the announcement of Col.
Wright's successor Is that the President
called for a blank commission for register
of deeds, and that it was mailed to him at
Gray Gables, along with Col Wright's
resignation, several weeks ago. Consider
ing all the known facts in respect to this
appointment, the impression is growing
that the President has concluded not to ap-
point the person he had originally selected
for the office, and Is having considerable
difficulty in finding proper substitute
Meanwhile, the affairs of the office are be-
ing capably administered by the republican
incumbent, and the interests OF the people
are being carefully protected.

To Disfnfect Hides.

Acting Secretary Curtis Of the Treasury
Department has written a letter to the
Secretary Of State in which he advises him
that the Secretary of Agriculture and other
experts are of opinion that hides intended
for import into the United States cannot
be properly disinfected without opening
the bales and subtecting each hide to treat
ment. This requirement made by the
United States consul at Rotterdam is there
fore approved, and the Secretary of State
Is requested TO instruct consuls generally
to see that the separate bundles of hides
are opened and each individual hide is
treated with a solution of carbolic acid
or corrosive sublimate. The naphthaline
treatment is not regarded as effective.
