The weighing OF the United
States mails, now in progress on
the Santa Fe, has developed the
fact that there is an increase of at
least IS per cent in the amount OF
mail now transported over four
years ago. The facilities of the
railway mail service are inadequate
for the amount of business trans
acted, the baggage cars on every
train being utilized for the storage
OF mail sacks, IL is thought that
it will be necessary to put on an
additional train, giving us double
mail service, and possibly train
west during the afternoon. There
will be no change in the time tab.e
while the mails are being weighed
and it is not probable that any
change will be made before the
early part of May.

1871 miles. Kansas City TO La

cents per hundred. This is only
an instance of the rank discrimina-
tion that exists in our transporta-
ton facilities. AS long as the rail
roads pursue such a policy, which
is unreasonable on the face of it.
they certainly have no just cause
for criticism Of the attempts a,

Once, for few minutes, 1 thought it
was all over with me. The flames
sprang from the middle of the block,
on the east side of Wells street between
Washington and Randolph, to the mid
die Of the block between Randolph and
Lake streets. Here remarkable thing
happened. AT the northwest corner of
Wells and Lake streets | stopped for a
moment to catch my breath and to look
back. At the southeast corner there
was a boot and shoe shop, which had a
glass front on the rear alley, similar to
that Oh the street front, but not so elab-
crate. The fire struck this alley front
with force that swept the boots and
shoes through the shop and into the
street in flash. A tongue of flame shot
out, rolled across the street and kindled
q tar kettle and barrel such as PAYERS
use, bringing with it shower of boots
and shoes. Almost at the same instant
the fire threw itself against hat fac

The Heaviest Thing In the worla.

The heaviest thing in the world is the
metal osmium, the blush white metal
with violet luster which Mr.. Smithson
Tenant discovered 80 years ago in the
residue from dissolved platinum ores
This metal has specific gravity of %. :
AT; that of gold being 1926; lead,
1887; iron. 7.79, and lithium, the
ligbtest, only 0. 594.
The French chemist Jolly, determined
that osmium is likewise the most in
fusible Of metals II could never be
made to yield to the oxyhydrogen fame
which makes platinum and iridium
run like water, but Jolly has been sub
jecting osmium to the exclusively high
temperature of the electric arc which
Moissan has Of late employed successful
ly in the manufacture of diamonds
Under this fierce heat the rare metal,
ruthenium. which used to be deemed all
but infusible. readily melts, but osmium
remains refractory, there being apparent
ly only the faintest traces of fusion On
this account osmium cannot be prepared
in sufficient quantities to make il very
useful in the arts, but its alloy with IT.

some value, nothing better having been

The railway system in the United
States employs $4,000 locomotives, 26, :
600 passenger cars and 5000 mail and
baggage cars, These figures seem large
till the number of freight cars is stated
which is 1880, 900. A passenger train
consisting of locomotive, tender, bag
gage aud six passenger cars, with their
contents, is estimatd to weigh about
1874 tons. Freight trains sometimes
reach a weight of $50 tons. An ordinary
passenger car costs from 81, 900 to So,
600 and sleeping car anywhere from
$40, 900 to $40, 900. The system, with
its gigantic equipment, is practically
the growth Of single generation. With
the additions of another quarter or half
q century posterity ought to stand and
gaze at it's stupendous proportions. But
it will probably be gradually educated
out of all its capacities of wonder, as we
have been out of many Of our own.
