| The building Of the ark proves that
| tho family OF Noah must have pos
! sCsscd and transmitted Il large inhcri
I tancc OF knowledge and 9!Sill in arts
that were common to men before tho
| Hood. The magnitude and scaworthi
ness Of that great specimen OF antcdi
luvian marine architccturc-nOt less
than 600 feet in length and 100 in
breadth, and with its three decks, a,
least sixty feet in depth-is Il conclu
sivo testimony to proficiency in the
arts such as We should expect from the
immense advantage at which men
worked who had hundreds OF years in
which to accumulate skill, experience
and methods, instead OF dropping their
life work as sO0l aS well begun, like
the artisans and engineers Of the pres.
ent day.
With lives ten .!m1& rs long and Wig
orOus as ours, how long would 10 have

the population would have passed the

OF money order which will be used TO
gradually supplant the style Of Order
now in vogue. The new form Is 6mi>s-

bank check. There will be Is stub
receipt for the romittcr, and a mani
fold copy will be sent to the Office upon
which tho order is drawn rs a notilica.
tion and to prevent fraud.
On the back OF the order q space
has been provided for the stamps Of
banks through which it may be passed
for collection.
In color, the order Is blue, having a
light bluo ground, with fine, closely in
torlaid lathc-work, of darker shade.
In tho centre is an escutchcOn bearing
shaded capital letters Of the same two
tints Of blue. The tint Of the order
and lathe work will serve to prevent
| limitations ; but as an additional safe
guard against countcrfcting, u hori-
| Zontal water mark, composed Of the
initials, U. S. Nj. o., in broad, capital
lettcrs, has boon wrought into the
paper on which the now forms are
printed.

order. The liability to mistake is thus
greatly lessened, and saving OF time
Objected. Discrepancies between order
and advice, which, by ont"iling addi.
tional correspondence and causing de-
lay in payment, have heretofore been
n source Of annoyance to the depart
mont and pOstmastcrs, IS we'll as to
romittors and payers, are prevented,
and absolute uniformity between the
order and advice insured. The dis
patch OF adviccs, which hitherto have
| not bccn made out and until after 49,
sue OF the orders, will also be accelor-
atcd.
The receipt, which is to be furnished
by the issuing postmaster to tho rc-
mittcr, showing the number anu uatc
Of tho ordor and the amount for which
issued, is also, in the main, reproduce
tiOn by tho carbon process OF the writ
ing and stamping on the order, hence,
must necessarily agrec Herewith. The
adoption OF q receipt has not hitherto
been practicable. 1t will tend to pop.
ularize tho postal money ordcr, sup.
plying moro than all else what was
needed to make 1t, in tho estimation
of the public, II perfectly satisfactory
vehicle for tho transmission Of small
sums.
