EXPENSES IN PosroFFIcEs.
Expanding Postal Business Leads to


Expanding Postal Business Leads TO
Items of Expenditure.
The American method of conducting
the postofIlce business so as to give
the greatest good to the greatest
number and no profit to the govern
ment" has one disadvantage. That Is
the impossibllity OF providing from
time to time, as the requirements of
an expanding volume of business call
for them, new buildings for postofice
uses. or for the extension of those al
ready In use. At the time of the last
report there were 1000 postofflces OF
the first and second classes in the
United States, exclusive of minor or
village postoffices, and of these chief
postodices 252 were In buildings own
ed by the government, and the remain
der were In leased premises, the gross
annual rental of which was nearly
100000 exclusive of nearly as much
more paid for the rent of postal sub
stations. The entire appropriation
paid for leased buildings and parts Of
buildings (the usage OF the government
is to provide In leases of buildings
for postofice use for heat, light, and
a safe or vaul) is 81 $780, geo year. and
the larger postofTices, which are, OF
course, the which yield the most profit
to the government, the minor ones be-
ing operated at a loss, entail no expen-
diture for buildings, money for which
is separately appropriated from gov
eminent funds by congress. Estimates
differ as to the value of postofflce
buildings owned by the United States
government. The New York postofflce
cost $7.000,0 900, and all large American
cities, Washington now included, have
postoffices Of modern design, the col
lective value Of which is certainly not
less than $100,000 900, and may be con-
siderably in excess Of that amount In
view Of the fact that in many cases the
sites for postoffice buildings have been
presented by the state or municipali-
ties, as the case may be, without any
cost to the general government, and IL
the value of land be taken into account
and the expense of interior equipment
added,it is probable that the postoffice
buildings, represented by the govern
ment, and included, would represent
capitalization of 5000, 600, the an
nual interest charge on which would
about equal the annual deficit from
postoffice operations, which Is from
$4,000 900 to 100000. 1t is under
these circumstances that the demand
for new postoffice buildings or for the
improvement of established postoffice
buildings is usually resisted by con-
gress. There Is considerable rivalry
between cities In this regard. The
Kansas City postoffice, when complet-
ed, is to cost sS5O,000; the st. Paul
postoffice 100000, the Omaha post
Office s750,000, the Savannah postoffice
100000, the Charleston postoffice
100000 and the Newark postoffice
building a like sum. New York ex-
ceeds all other cities of the country,
not only in respect to the volume OF
postoffice business, but also in the
profit arising from it.-New York Sun.

SINGULAR FRUIT FOR a TREE.
Chinese Froauct Iht Years Tauow
Brought to s,rth aruina.

Chinese rroauct 1ht rerrs rauow
Brought to s,rsn nroi!na.
The people OF Chta arc eminently
practical, and have added much to the
civilization OF mankind by their habits
of industry, Of which the method Of
obtaining vegetable ta.lcT Is an excel
lent example The trec producing this
tallow is called Stllliagia Seblfera, ana
the words remind Us Of the dropping
product and its soapy nature. The Chit
nese pick the seeds Of ,his tree in au-
tumn, and FIRST place them in wooden
cylinder, open at the top and perforat-
ed at the bottom. After being steamed
over a fire for ten or fifteen minutes
the tallow is softened and is then more
readily separated. The seeds are trans
ferred from the steaming cylinder to q
stone mortar, in which they are gently
beaten. They are then thrown on a
sieve. heated over the fire and siftei,
by which process the tallow is separat-
ed and resembles coarse Indian meal.
In this state the tallow is put between
circles of twisted straw and these plac-
ed in a press, by which the talloW Is
forced out and falls into tub. Freed
from ali impurities, it is then SEMI
fluid of a beautiful white color. Candies
made of it easily melt in hot weather
and on this account they are dipped in
melted wax of various colors-red.
green or yellow-and are exposed for
sale by tallow chambers and oth
shopkeepers. This remarkable tree
found on the banks of the Min, in SEE
chuen. 1t also grows near Soochow,
and has been transplanted to North
and South Carolina. 1t is tree with
shining green leaves and small yellow
flowers at the end Of the branches.
They are succeeded by dark colored
seeds and vessels containing delicate
white seeds. In late autumn, on the
banks of the Tsien-tang river in Cho-
kiang, south of Hangchow, this tree is
a striking object. The leaves are then
of a blood red color instead of a light
green. When the tallow has been
squeezed out of the seeds the remainder
is preserved TO be used as fuel or to
enrich the land.-Philadelphia Record.

SEVERAL ExPOSlTlONS
or an international Character 10 Follow
Paris.

According to reports from different
countries a number of international
exhibitions will follow soon after the
close of the great exposition of Paris.
In Belgium an exposition is projected
for 1905. and it Is expected that the
preliminary works will be shortly I'M
dertaken. Upon the close of the Uni
versal Exposition of 1900 American ex-
nibitors contemplate proposing the
opening of a technical fair in Russia,
either at st. Petersburg or Moscow, at
which their metallurgical products
may be displayed. The English have
also favored the holding of an expo
stion at Moscow and announce their
intention of sending there exhibits Of
their skill In the manufacture of ma
chinery. Unwilling to remain idle at
a moment of such Industrial activity,
the Germans have started a movement
among all the chambers OF commerce
throughout the empire for the purpose
of organizing an international exposl-
ton in Germany. More than so cham
bers of commerce in that country have
signified their intention to cooperate
in the project.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Going Back TO Old Methods.

Dan Sinclair has started new fad
for bicyclists, or, rather, has resur-
rected a very ancient one. His drive
chain is tastefully draped over the
handle-bars, and he propels the ma
chine by using his feet as paddles,
lowering his feet so that he can easily
reach the ground The appearance of
the rider is not particularly graceful,
but as it is rather a unique idea, or,
at least, primitive, it will probably
be very popular in these days when
old things are in general favor

Endurance of inns.

-Four miners were entombed FOR
twelve days in the Matsuyasu col
liery lately. They did without food ali
the time. and for most OF the time
without light, and were none the
worse when dug out. One of the men
said that for some time after the oil
was exhausted they felt bit low spir-
tied, but that in few days they be-
came accustomed to the darkness and
were able to get along pretty we'll.
The incident exhibits in a striking
manner the powers of endurance pos
sessessed by the little Jap.

Three Po,sons In Tobacoo smoke.

c. Binz, in the Deutsche Aerzte-Zei-
tung, says there are three kinds of poi
son in tobacco smoke: nicotine; that
which is obtained by the slow ash for
nation, pryridin, etc, and carbonic OK
ide. Carbonic oxide is always easily
shown to be present In tobacco smoke.
Its percentage depending upon the vol
ume of the smoke gas, varies between
0.6 and 76. The variations depend
upon the rapidity OF the ash formation
and the quantity of the atmospheric air
drawn in or the lung air blown out. A
never-so-slight acute poisoning from
carbonic acid Of tobacco smoke is, un-
der ordinary conditions, scarcely to be
expected. Whether the daily taking
in OF the small quantity OF carbonic
oxide which, through many years OF
smoking, gets into the blood of smok-
ers, cannot set up chronic injury, Is
4 question still to be settled.
