have the honor to inform you that the

not presumed that service on route

thereby be dispensed with.

NOVEL MAIL CARRYING SYSTEM

somewhat novel system for carrying
the mail is now in use between two towns
In France Bonnetable and Connerre-
Breille. These towns, ten miles distant,
are on line OF narrow-guage railroad,
but part OF the mail was formerly car
ried by a four-wheled car running on the
rails. provided with two bicycle move
ments and worked by two men. AS this
system OF locomotion proved too slow
the railroad company has substituted a
four-whecled automobile car which has a
three-horse power gasoline motor. water
cooled, the movement of the motor is
transmitted To the rear axle by two
round belts passing over two speed
changing pulleys which arc loose on the
shaft and NAV be coupled by friction to
fixed pulley. mounted on the interme-
diato shaft This shaft II connected by
reduction gearing to a second interme-
diatc shaft which carries a. chain passing
10 the rear axle. Ball bearings are used
throughout. \ pedal operates a powerful
band-brake upor the rear axle. The total
weight of this car Is 1850 pounds and Il
makes an average speed ~ twenty miies
an hour. Since IL has been put into use

has becn quite satisfactory. Scientific
