Mailing n Ricvcle.

An American tourist Is said to
have sent his bicycle from London to
Paris bymail ata cost of few pence
and to have received it in perfect
order. This looks like a yarn, but it
is straight. The English parcels post
now carries mail packages not over
20 pounds in weight and not of a
higher value than 800 from any
point in England to any place in
France at what appears to be a RI
diculously low tariff. The bicycle
weighed just 20 pounds. The wheels
and handle bars were removed from
the frame and carefully wrapped
in heavy paper, so as to make a CON-
pact bundle, before the postage was
paid. and when the wrappings were
removed at the tourists hotel in
Paris the machine was in perfect
condition.
