A PROPOSED TUBE BETWEEN
LONDON AND PARIS.

It has been proposed that a pneu-
matte tube be laid from London to
Paris by way of the English channel.
This somewhat realized that time
honored joke about the possibility OF
a person going to Europe in pneu-
matte tube with that other distinct
possibility of getting stuck in the mid
dlet There will have to be some bet
ter method devised, however, before a
tube could be laid under water How
ever we'll protected, corrosion would be
sure to take place. Then the almost
impossibiliity of laying it would be an
other difficulty. The method of laying
a cable could hardly be used in this
case, as the flexibility of even q. leaden
tube would not adapt itself to circum-
stances and it would be equally as hard
TO adapt any system of coffer-dam con-
struction to the needs of the moment.
DISTINCTIONS in the tube could not be
reached by the ordinary method and
the slightest break would mean chaos
for the time being. Even with forty
years of European experience to draw
upon. the Philadelphia officials have
had grave difficulties to cope with. and
as the diameter of the tube increases
the difficulties increase with it, until
when ten inches diameter has been
reached, anything larger than this is
not considered feasible, because the
weight becomes so great that the pack
ing wears out very rapidly.
One of the features of the London
service is the regularity with which it
is operated The block signaling de-
vices of railroading have been made to
suggest means to prevent disastrous
collisions between carriers in the tubes.
Each section of the tubing all over the
route is provided with an electric ap-
paratus for keeping the carriers con-
trolled If two carriers should mad
vertantly try to occupy the same sec
ton, the last carrier to come in would
start an electric switch, operating a
mechanism so contrived as TIC keep the
carrier in it's section until the carrier
ahead had passed out of the way.
Something of the same kind will be
used in Philadelphia when the large
plant is installed. One of the new tubes
which viii be used for carrying pack
ages will be eight inches in diameter,
almost the limit as to size, and if a col
lision was TO occur between two heavily
laden carriers of this size the result
might be disastrous.
Pneumatic tubes have been in sue
cessful operation so long in Europe
that the great wonder is they have not

AN ELECTRIC DEVICE FOR Lo-
eating DISTRACTIONS.

This brings forward a very curious
instrument which is used for locating
an obstruction in the underground
Paris. The magnificent sewer system
of the French capital makes the in
spection of the tubes an easy matter, as
they are all laid in the sewers. When
pipe is INSTRUCTED, however, other
means of inspection must be resorted
to. A diaphragm is attached to the end
of the INSTRUCTED tube and a pistol is
discharged into the tube through an
opening just below where the dia-
phragnl is placed, the sound acting on
the diaphragm causes an electric cir
cult to be closed, which in turn causes
a mark TO be made on a chronograph.
The sound wave travelling through the
tube finally meets the obstruction and
is reflected, causing another mark to
be made on the chronograph. The in
terval of time between the two sounds
can thus be easily determined and the
position of the obstruction located. The
rest is easy. The pipe being measured
it is only necessary to descend into the
sewer. take out the requisite section Of
the pipe and remove the offending OBJ
struction.

Must Pay Postage.

CHICAGO, July 9.-Railroad companies
no longer may carry their business let
ters over their own roads without paying
postage to the government. An order
has been received from Postmaster GEN
eral Wilson by Major Stewart and POST
master Hesing, insisting upon the en-
forcement of the postal laws against rail-
ways carrying their own letters. An
exception is made in favor of letters that
have to do with the business of the train
carrying them. But all letters to station
agents and officials are forbidden to be
carried without postage, and the in
spectors are directed to enforce the law.
The railroads, however, will not be
required to mail their letters as ordinary
citizens and corporations. They will be
supplied with specially stampe en-
velope, which they must cancel on. de-
livery to the trainmen. The express
companies have been using such en-
velopes for some years.

The minority also feels that the report
of the majority is defective in failing to
make any recognition of the honesty,
and economic course and fidelity of the
present Democratic administration, and
they therefore offer the following dec
laratlon as an amendment to the ma
jority report:
"We commend the honesty, economic
course and fidelity of the present Demo-
cratic national administration"
Senator Hill offered this report, and
also the following amendments to the
platform and moved their adoption:
Amendment But it should be
carefully provided by law at the same
same time that any change in the none
tary standard should not apply to exist
ing contracts.
Amendment 2-Our advocacy of the
independent free coinage of silver being
based on the belief that such coinage
will effect and maintain the parity be-
tween gold and silver at the ratio of 16
to 1, we declare as a pledge of our sim
cerity that if such free coinage shall fail
to effect such parity within one year
from its enactment by law, such coinage
shall thereupon be suspended.
