the route the yellow dog got to know
my whistle. and would come rushing
to the corner to get the mail. He kept
that up steadily, rain or shine, for over
a year, and never missed trip. What's
more, he showed a pride and interest
in the task that were really half hu-

would be q little late and find me on
the way to the house when he got out
of the yard. Then 1t was comical to
see him come tearing up the street.

plainly as he could, Stop. hold on!

On such occasions he would always In

Incredible number Of sea birds. Upon

Stamp on III, R,xht H.ud Corner

The Postoffice Department has sent
out notice that the persons who write
letters must be careful in placing
stamps or the department will not be
resposible for any delay in transms-
sion. The rule OF the government is
that the stamp must be firmly attached
to the upper right hand corner of the
letter. In NIL postoffices of any size
the machine for stamp cancellation is
in use. and 1t is SO constructed that it
cannot be used to cancel stamps that
are not placed ns the rules direct. OF
course, the department agrees to deliv-
er all letters received that have the
postage paid. but 1t warns writers that
delay Is possible II the rules are not OBJ
served. The next order is expected TO
be that n special drop box shall be pro-
vided for letters having the stamp
placed in unauthorized corners and
that those having the stamp on the
back shall go with the third class mail.

Steamship. May propel rh.m.elvs..

Interesting and important expert.
ments are now being conducted by one
of the largest manufacturing corpora
tions in the country to demonstrate the
feasibility and advantage Of propellng
ship through power derived from gas
engines supplied by gas generated on
the vessel itself. Thus the coal. in.
stead Of being consumed under the boil.
ers to make steam, would be roasted in
retorts aboard ship to drive off the gas
which would supply the engines The
coke thus produced. it is estimated,
would furnish all the fuel needed to
roast the coal.
The purpose of the experiment is to
ascertain whether the weight of the
gas-producing plant and gas consum
Ing engines are SO much less than the
ordinary plant of steam boilers and en-
gines and the saving of space sufficient
to warrant the adoption of the new
system.
