The Chicago postoffice is to have the

Postmaster Hesing has studied for

plan has been kept secret by the postof-

Mr.. Hartley, who lives in Chicago, as 1t
was feared when put to the final test the
motor might not prove success.
Frederick f. Stoll, superintendent OF
the city delivery, has worked for months
with Inventor Hartley in developing the

A Monster Musical Instrument.

The most gigantic harp ever con-
structed, as far as the record goes, was
that made by Veritan, the provost of
Burkli, near Basel, Switzerland, i'm
1887. That was long while ago, but
the fame of M. Veritan's gigantic
harp was such that it is still occasional
ly mentioned by writers on the rare and
the wonderful, just as the sea serpent
bloody rain, live mastadons, ETC., are
M. Veritan's colossal musical instru-
ment was $50 feet in length, and, on
that account, was constructed in an open
lot instead of in harp factory. 1t was
most simple in construction, consisting
Of 10 wires strung tightly between two
poles. These wires were of different
sizes, the largest being one-sixth OF am
inch in diameter and the smallest one
twelfth of an inch. They We're stretched
north and south and inclined in such q
manner as to form an angle Of from 20
to 30 degrees with the horizon. This
queer instrument was not intended a.
an exaggerated toy, but was constructed
for the express purpose Of foretelling
changes in the weather, which were
calculated by Professor Veritan accord
ing to the different tones the instruments
made when the wind was blowing
through it.-St Louis Republic.

RELIC FOR ST. JOHNS.
Iona Cathedral Io Scotland Originally

Iona Cathedral Iu Scotland Originally
Owned the Interesting Shrine.
The new Cathedral of st. John the
Divine, in New York, is to have Dor
tion OF the relic from Iona cathedral
that Is imbedded in the old shrine of
st. Andrews, Willow Acre, Glasgow.
Bishop Potter and the trustees of the
new cathedral met in the see house in
Lafayette place to receive it from John
w. Wood, general secretary of the
Brotherhood of st. Andrew, and Silas
McBee, vice president of the brother
hood. While in Scotland last summer
the Rev. Andrew Mitchell, rector of st.
Andrews, showed them the relic. They
suggested at once that two pieces be
Clipped from it, one to be imbedded in
the altar of the new cathedral and one
in the altar of the new chapel which is
building at the University of the South
at Suwanee. AT their instigation, Bish-
OPP Potter made formal request for the
pieces, which was granted.
1t is believed that the st. Andrew 8

taken is the only piece of the historic

Urban Development In the South.

The rural south, especially in the old
er portions, is, economically speaking,
far from progressive, and what was once
the single occupation of the southern
gentleman is now the last that he would
voluntarily assume In the rich valley
and ON the grazing lands of southwest
Virginia, in parts of Georgia and in the
blue grass region Of Tennessee farming
pays fairly. owing to the greater thrlft
of the inhabitants and to the fertility OF
the soil, but, ON the whole, the progress
of the new south, like that of the rest of
the country, certainly has not taken this
direction. 1t is through its urban de-
velopment only that the section has

the coal regions near Mount Jewett,
and it is there that the services of this
giant engine will be required to help
the regular engines up the grades with
loaded coal trains.
This big engine was designed and the
parts constructed at Dunkirk. The fin
ished parts were taken to the Lincoln
Park shops of the Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburg road, where the work OF
erection occupied over a month. The
setting up of the monster not only re-
ouired the work of an unusually large
number of men for such service, but
before it could be accomplished extra
heavy cranes and travellers had to be
erected and rugged in order to lift and
convey the parts to their proper place
in the great machines structure.
The parts had, however, been design
ed. made and finished with such scrupu-
lous care that when the process OF lit
ting them was carried out no change OF
Importance had to be made. The trifling
alterations that were found to be neces-
sary were quickly done in the shops
where the coming mogul's skeleton was
rapidly being supplemented with its vi
tai organs and developed into COM
pletely formed body, marvelously capa-
BILE of power and motion.
The Mastodon, which is tersely de-
scribed by Superintendent Of Motive
Power Turner as "B. r. and r. IL
wheel freight locomotive, road No.
1885," is much more massive, extensive,
taller and more powerful in appearance
than any possible picture or written
description can convey, and its story
told in figures, though exact, would
mean more to an expert engine builder
than any one else.
No. 1870 was constructed to use bituml-
nous coal as fuel and to run on track
of a feet s 1-2 inches gauge. The total
wheel base of the engine is 20 feet o
inches. which means that its wheels
stand ON a space longer than the width
of a full city building lot. The driving
wheel base is Is feet 6 inches. The to.
tal wheel base of engine and tender Is
62 feet inches, while the total length
of engine and tender over all is over &c
feet. =,
The engine is giant, and would, IN
carving out the idea of symmetrical
nroportion, have been taller than 1t il
Int for the numerous obstacles, like the
roofs of tunnels and bridges, which 10
comotiye while travelling is likely to
encounter. 1t is cheaper to foreshorter
the stacks of locomotives than to incul
expense of extra rock work in tunneline
and for building higher abutments and
approaches for wagon road bridges.

CHARITY FAIRS.
An Argument tn show Why They ST
Be Suppressed.


Be Suppressed.
Charity has been defined as this state
of things: That SO soon as A is in trcu-
BILE b begins TO consider what g ought
TO do for him. ALI charitable fairs, for
instance, are based on this principle.
You go and buy something which You
probably do not want in order that tho
profit made ON it may go to some good
cause. In case you had really wanted
what you bought you would have per-
haps bought it somewhere else, and tho
regular trade thus suffers from the loss
of your custom. In case of very large
fairs, like the sanitary fairs" in war
time, the ordinary local trade unques-
tionably suffers, perhaps for a whole
year, and the community Is thus impov-
erished to degree in one way SO that
it may be helped in other ways
For great national object this can
easily be endured, although, to be sure.
we never have known just what the
regular dealers thought about it. But
when we consider that the same thing
is done TO some extent in behalf Of every
local or sectarian enterprise, 1T is evil
dent that the principle of the affair 10
not quite satisfactory.
Suppose, for instance, that we were
all to agree for single year to have all
our shoes and hats made by amateurs
"for sweet charity's sake" and to have
single church or hospital take the
value of them all. Then sweet charity
would make an apparent gain no doubt.
but all the ordinary hatmakers and shoe
makers would starve. Or, if they did
not starve, they would be supported by
their kindred, who perhaps are not far
above the starvation point themselves,
or they would be supported by sweet
charity, and the last condition of things
would be worse than the first. 1t is not
really the fact that the evils of society
can be greatly helped by dressing up
young girls prettily and having them
take money and give rather inaccurate
change at bazaar table. One day, per-
haps, when the laws of trade are better
understood, we shall look at charity
fairs as we already look at lotteries.
which were once regarded as one of the
| highest forms of sweet charity, but
which are now prohibited by law
