Artificial stone.

Quarrymen and stone dressers will
probably be gradually crowded out Of
their occupation by the use of artificial
stone. In the manufacture of this stone
the sand is heated and the cement add
ed to the amount of II per cent of the
mixture. The steel molds are filed
with the dry material and moved into
an immense cylinder, which is closed
and bolted. Boiling water is then
turned In under pressure sufficient to
force 1t all through the sand In the
molds. The cement Stacks. but the
steel molds do not permit any expan-
sion to occur, and the stone is formed
and dried under an immense pressure,
The result is very hard stone, which
can be supplied In shapes desired and
much cheaper than the natural stone.

MAIL CARRIERS RESTRICTED.
No Longer Permitted &c Act as General
Agent ON Country Rontes.

Washington July 20. The decision
Of the Postmaster General to stop
rural free delivery carriers from act
ing as agents for stores and nanufac-
turing enterprises, announced IN The
Evening World some time ago, found
form in an order issued by the de
partment yesterday.
County merchants complained TO
the department that the carriers TOOK
orders for the great mail order houses
OF Chicago and other cities and thus
cut them out of their legitimate trade.
Believing the complaints were found
ed on fact and were justifiable, the
Postmaster General issued this order
" Hereafter rural letter carriers
shall not act as agents, statesmen or
solicitors for express companies. let

own account or accept or collect sub
scriptions for the same.
when carriers receive newspapers
or other periodicals. by express or by
other means outside the mails to be
sold or delivered on their route. they
as news agents, will be required to
paw postage on such matter at the
second class rate of postage. cent per
pound, except in the case of county
papers, which are mailed free to sub
scribers residing in the county in
which they are published. This order
is not intended to prohibit carriers
from performing various private
commissions for the accommodation
of the patrons on their route as long
AS it does not interfere with the re-
gular and prompt performance of their
duties.
Another order issued is designed to
avoid the duplication of service in
some sections by both star and rural
free deiIeryy services. 1t says:
..In those States in which the star
route box delivery is now in operation
the rural free delivery service will
not hereafter be established over any
road which must continue to be trav-
ersed as part of star route except
in special and unavoidable cases, in
which cases the star route box deliv-
cry will be abandoned
