THE CABLE ON THE BRIDGE.
ON The Engineering News New York;.

We have no doubt that with the introduction Of
electric traction on both Brooklyn and New-York
elevated railways and through connection between
them across the Bridge there will be strong In

made by competent engineers TO ascertain all tho
facts In the case.
So far as the economy Is concerned. however; .
very simple computation, which any under.
stand. shows that the saving In power which the
sable railway makes h %es to very large "sS

The above will make clear the simple process BY
which the economy Of the cable system can DO

mere approximations. and there are several nino!
elements that we have not mentioned which should
be included in accurate computation. But the
method by which the economy Of the cable system

As to the safety to be gained by the use Of the
cable. this is certainly an important element OF me
problem. We discussed this matter In our issue OF
October II, 1885, and have since seen no reason 10

"MIsslNG WORD" CONTESTS,
Plan of Trashy Newspapers to Be
Nipped by Government.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The postof1ice
department is taking a firm stand
against the so-called missing letter"
and missing word contests which are
being conducted by number of pub
fishers to increase the subscriptions to
their papers. The lottery law directs
that the postmaster general, upon evil
dence satisfactory to himself that a
concern or person is operating through
the mails lottery, or scheme of regu-
lar prizes dependent upon lot or chance
to prohibit the delivery of all mail mat
ter to it. All newspapers and periodi-
Gals containing advertisements of this
character are forbidden transmission
in the mails. This law, it is now an
nounced at the postoffice department,
will be applied to all schemes which
are violations of it if they are contin-
ued in operation or advertisements of
them are published. Missing letter con-
tests are held to be such violations be-
cause many correct answers can be
given, but only one list is deemed the
correct list by the promoter of the
scheme. The chance consists in guess
ing what words compose the so-called
correct list" Such schemes are held
to be especially obnoxious, owing to the
skillful wording of the advertisements
which make the chance for obtaining a
prize more remote than in the defunct
Louisiana lottery.
