might be supposed Many times peo-
pie would like to recall letter after
it has been mailed. This can be done,
even if the letter has reached Uhe post
office at its destination. AT every
pOStoffice there are what are called
withdrawal blanks" On application
they will be furnished, and, when a
deposit is made to cover the expense
the postmaster will telegraph to the
postmaster at the letters destination
asking that it promptly be returned.
The applicant first signs this agree
ment: ct is hereby agreed that, If
the letter is returned to me l will pro-
tect you from any and all claims made
against you for such return and will
fully indemnify you for any loss you
may sustain by reason of such action.
And | herewith deposit s. to cover
all expenses incurred and will deliver
to you the envelope of the letter re-
turned" In many cases persons have
made remittances to fraudulent parties
or irresponsible firms, not learning
their true character until after the
letter had gone, and have succeeded in
recalling them. There is an instance
where a Kansas City merchant had

DEFLECTED BY ELECTRICITY

Some remarkable results have re
Gently been observed in Switzerland
regarding the effects of electrical cur
rents in causing bullets to defect from
the straight line. Like many other
important observations, attention was
first drawn to the fact by accident.
Some experiments were being made
with army rifles, and the bullets went
wide of the targets in a perfectly I'M
accountable way. The matter was in
yestigated, and it was found that an
electric line ran parallel to the range.
This set the authorities to discover how
much defecton could be produced in
the short range.
They accordingly laid four steel
cables at a distance of about forty
yards from the hange, which was well
under 300 yards in length. The cables
were then charged with a strong cur
rent and the firing was resumed. 1t
was then ascertained that the de-
Election for the distance, 78O feet, was
about 20 feet: when a longer range
was used the DETECTION was proper
tionately increased. In some expert
ments with artillery at a range Of 5000
yards it was found that the DETECTION
amounted to no less than Il degrees.
