An experiment Is to be made soon in
Detroit in the collection of mail by au-
iomobiles. Previous experiments in this
line with electric carts have failed, be-
cause the wagons when equipped with
batteries sufficiently to propel them the
required distance were too bulky to
move round easily. In detroit the wag-
ons are to be operated by gasoline
motor It is claimed that one wagon
will do the work of two Of the old horse
carts for the $500 year now allowed
for such service. The only saving to the
government would be in the time of the
letter carriers. The gasoline cart has
front almost entirely of glass. 1t has
windows at the sides and a door, au-

cure1y guarded, so it cannot be entered
by thieves. The wheels are fitted with

Anvbody who has ridden where he
could watch the work of a fireman on
a swiftly moving passenger train

sootv trade is to keep an eye on the
smoke that comes sweeping from the
stack. and that as soon as the color
dwindles from thick gray-black 70
light straw, open comes the doors OF
the frebox and in go five or six
shovelfuls Of coal. The surprising part
of it, to a novice. is that the color OF
the smoke dwindles so fast that the
fireman seems to have barely time to
straighten the kinks out of his back.

looks cleaner, for one thing. He can
do his work without getting covered
with SCOT. More important. however
he no longer looks to see the black

SWIMMING and CycIinu.

1t might well nave been taken AZ a self
evident fact that cycling. an exercise
which strengthens the leg muscles if it
does nothing more. must act henefcillly
in the case of swimmers But from Il
discussion which has been going ON in a
cycling journal it appears that this is not
50; rather does il seem that much cycling
is q danger to the swimmer. In modcra-
tion cycling does no harm, but we gather
that the great Cyclist is not likely t. be-
come 4 great swimmer. although there are
exceptions even to this genera iZati0n.
even less helpful. The cyclist, it appears
benefits by the matutinal cold bath. bu.
, he will not ride freely and so well if
he has INDUCED in an early morning
swim. Swimming. according to the pro
tagOnistS in this discussion. ought not to
preccde any other violent exercise ana
should only be cultivated At midday Dr in
the afternoon. few minutes before the
| last meal. So il seems that swimming Is
| OF no more service to the cNcliSt. and
cycling to the swimmer, than gymnastics
| to the crickcter. 1t is another case Of
one sport not assisting in the cultivation
| of another. But this. be it noted. only af-
| fects the more or less professional. For
the man not anxious tn establish cycling

may attract more public notice than the
moderately good all round man. but he
