TO WIPE OUT POSTAL DE.
FIGHTS.

While the government did not 60
into the business of carrying the
mails as a money making enterprise.
says the Chicago Times-Herald,
there is no economic argument in ia
vor of maintaining the Postoffice
Department at an annual loss of
$12,OOO.OOO.
The principal reason why the
Fifty fifth Congress did not enact
notifications in the postal laws that
would wipe out the annual postal
deficit and prevent the abuses that
have resulted in heavy losses of pos
tai revenues was largely due to dis
agreement regarding the exact
sources of these losses.
The Postoffice Department should
at least pay expenses. Until the
transportation and distribution of
mails is put upon a paying basis ii
cannot be regarded as a successful
branch of the governments business
There is no economic sense in reduc
ing rates for postage and then com
polling the people to make deficit
through taxation. 1t is highly prob
able that the present rates for first
second, third and fourth class mai
matter are ample to yield adequate
revenues if the business of the de
partment is economically admins
tered and the abuses of the second
class mail privileges are corrected by

An uneducated colored youth in

An uneducated colored youth in
this county, named John Aston,
has made an invention that may
entirely revolutionize the motive
power that propels machinery
and do away with the use of steam
power. This newly invented ma
chinery is propelled by condensed
air, which can be used as motor
at very little expense and is more
powerful than steam power. The
model he has made is self-pro-
polling car, or, as he calls it, a
horseless carriage. How the ma
chinery is arranged is concealed
from view, by being boxed up or
inclosed in one end of the car.
When the machinery is put in
motion it will keep going for an
indefinite time. He ran it steadi-
ly at one time for a month. He
will have his invention patented.

A Natural Fog Horn.

At the Farallones the erosive agents
have worked with queer caprice. This
rock, being granite, has been acted upon
by the sea at all levels and throughout
the long period when it has been rising
out of the watery depths. Through
long narrow hole, slanting and commu-
nicating with the ocean, there comes at
intervals terrific stream Of air. forced
by the spasmodic heaving of the waves
against the lower orifice The govern
ment, which uses this island for light
house purposes, inclosed the upper end
with the nozzle of fog horn, and every
few seconds there was blown an ear
splitting brawl, which was heard far
out at sea and above the din of the
breaking rollers.
It was allowed to roar only in foggy
weather, but it was eccentric in that it
would only sound at high tide. When
the tide was low, although the weather
might be very thick, the thing was si-
lent. For lack of its warning q ship
went ashore upon the island rocks, and
then it was that the government aban-
doned its location on the wind hole and
erected steam siren or mechanical fog
horn, which has since very faithfully
performed the necessary service.-"Oul

The Boy and His Cap.


II can't find my cap anywhere, is
sentence more or less familiar in the
household, that being what the boy says,
looking for his cap, when he wants to
go out to play. EARLY in the search he
enlists his mother, and that may make
q serious business of it. She has to drop
her busting or whatever household work
she may be engaged in. and the search
may take long time.
"Where did you put it when you
came in;" is "a question sure to be asked
sooner or later. but all the boy can an
swer is:
II don't know"
And then the search goes on every
where, over and under, in all sorts Of
places, all at great loss Of time, if not
Of temper. It is found at last, as most
things are in time, and in some simple,
easy place, which makes the finding OF
it all the more exasperating.
The boy takes it and goes out to play
and straightway forgets all about it;
but it may take quite little time to
restore the normal calm in the house.
It is a mystery how the boy manages
to lose his cap as often as he does, but
It appears to be boys way. and COM
mon to almost all.-New York Sun.
