AT THE POST OFFICE
A Record Breaking Saturday for the
Handling of Letters.

"A MISUNDERSTANDING saturday for the
Handling of Letters.
Saturday was a record breaker at the
post office for the amount of letters
handled Probably more than 100000 let
tiers We're handled during the day. AS a
result the carriers and CLERKS were over
worked, and it was utterly impossible
to deliver all the mail There is always
a big rush on the first of The year but
never has so much mail been handled
as this year. One carrier, b. H Clough.
who has west side house route, took
out 1900 letters on his first trip. and
probably during the day delivered as
many more. AT station a one carrier
had probably 1000 or more letters to de-
liver on his first trip, but his route con-
tains many big business houses, all of
which have large mails The rush is
not ended and Monday there will be
more big deliveries.
The ten new carriers began their work
Saturday under the new plan of routes.
some changes may be made In the new
routes later, but for the present they
viii remain as they are and be given a
fair trial Owing to the unusually large
mails and the unfamiliarity with the
routes, there was naturally some delay
saturday, but in the course of few
days matters will probably improve
and all will be satisfied. The official an
pointment of the new carriers has NOT
oeen received, but they are upon the
pay roll of the government, and the an
pointment will be a mere matter If

BUILDING CHANGES.
Alterations To Be Made in Old Post Office
and Horticultural Hall Building.

The Pearl Street Association has decided
upon the changes that will be made in the
room formerly occupied by the post office.
The basement and first floor will be en-
tirely rebuilt and a new front will be put
in up to the second story. The first floor
space will be divided into three well-ap-
pointed stores. Two of them will meas
ure 24xS0 feet and the third 1sxS0 feet, the
smaller one being in the centre. The
west store has been rented by F. A. Cas-
well & Co., undertakes. The work will
be completed about April l.
Extensive repairs are also TO be made in
the Horticultural Hall building on Front
street. The first floor will be lowered to
tbs. street level. and an entire new front
will be put in up to the second story, in
cluding rounded plate glass windows.
The two stores now in the building will
be made into one by means of wide
arches, and F.. w. Woolworth, who now
occupies the east store, will use both. Ex-
tensive improvements win also be made
in the rear of the building, where fire
escapes will be built and more adequate
tire-proofing added

RUSSIA'S STRATEGIC CANAL.
The Great Waterway to Connect the
Black and Baltic Seas.

From the Scientific American.
The expenditure for naval work i'm
many countries is far greater than ever
before and the effect of this is shown
rot only in the laying down of new
ships and the building of ordnance
nut also in the creation of naval sta
tion5 at home and naval bases of sun
ply and repair abroad, and the field of
activity has even been enlarged so as
10 admit of the construction of ex-
tensive engineering works in the shane
of canals for the purpose of rapid con-
centratiOn of fleets of war vessels. The
most extensive works in this diractior
is that TO be conducted in Russia for
connecting the waters of the Baltic
and Black Seas. The canal will have
a length of over 1000 miles. and the
primary object is for strategic pur-
poses. but at the same time ii will be
of great commercial importance. Be-
ginning at the Riga, the canal follows
the course OF the river DuEa as far as
Dunaburg and from there an excava-
tion Is to carry it from Lepel TO the
Bereslna, along the water course TO
the Dnciper and then down this river
TO the Baltic Sea, over a total length
Of 1850 miles. by using the rivers the
artificial construction has been reduced
to some l25 miles. At the ends of this
canal are the cities of Riga on the
north and Cherson on the south. The
latter is TO become a great naval arse
nal.
Active operations along the route
We're to be begun during the last week
of June, and II is expected the canal
will be completed and open to traffic
in four years, at an expense of $97. 600
900. The canal is tC have a depth
throughout its whole extent sufficient
to take the largest battle ships, and
the construction will be of such a cnar-
acter that speed Of six knots an hour
can be obtained without eroding the
banks by the wash Of the streamers.
1t Is estimated that a vessel can pass
through the canal in less than a week.

WEATHER MEN IN l774.
How Franklin and Jefferson Co.
operated in Taking Observations.

from the Forum.
About one hundred years ago. after
the invention of the barometer, viz, in
IVA, Benjamin Franklin, patriot di-
plomat, statesman and scientist. di-
Vined that certain storms had a rotary
motion, and that they progressed in
a northeasternly direction. 1t was pro-
phetic that these ideas should have
come to him long before any one had
ever seen charts showing long obser-
Vations simultaneously taken at var
ious stations. But although his ideas
In this respect were more important
than his act of drawing the lightning
from the clouds and Identifying it with
the electricity of the laboratory, yet
his contemporaries thought little of his
philosophy of storms and it was soon
forgotten. 1t will be interesting to
learn how he reached his conclusion
as to the cyclonic or eddyllke struc-
ture of storms.
Franklin had arranged with a CO.
worker at Boston to take observations
of lunar eclipse at the same time
that he himself was taking readings
of it at Philadelphia. Early on the
evening of the eclipse an unusually Sc
we're northeast wind and rain storm
set in at Philadelphia and Franklin
was unable to secure any observations
He reasoned that as the wind blew
tiercely from the northeast the storm
was, of course, coming from that di-
rection, and that Boston must have
experienced its ravages before Phila-
delphia. Reports Indicated that the
storm was widespread. What was the
surprise of Franklin when, after the
slow passage of the mail by coach, he
heard from his friend in Boston that
the night of the eclipse had been clear
and favorable for observations, but
that a terrific northeast wind and rain
storm began early the following morn
ing, He then sent inquiries out to sur
rounding stage stations and found that
at all places southwest of Philadel-
phia the storm had begun earlier, and
that the greater the distance the earlier
the beginninG,as compared with its ad-
vent in Philadelphia. Northeast OF
Philadelphia the time of the begin
ming of the storm had been later than
at that city, the storm not reaching
Boston until twelve hours after its
commencement at PHILADELPHIA.
In considering these facts line of
inductive reasoning brought Franklin
to the conclusion that the wind always
blows toward the centre of the storm. .
that the northeast hurricane which
Ioston and Philadelphia had expert
cnccd was caused by the suction ex-
ercised by an advancing storm eddy
from the southwest, which drew the
air rapidly from Boston toward Phil
