ra1 free delivery is directed by A. W. Machen, the superintendent of free delivery. Clerks in the star service regard with alarm the absorption of old star routes by the rural service, and some of the contractors who have ing to head off rural free delivery by undertaking volunteer delivery in boxes along routes where rural free delivery is desired.
 But star route contractors can only deliver mail matter. They cannot col lect, as can the rural free delivery car riers, nor can they sell stamps, take and pay money orders, and become what the rural carriers are, travelling post offices, bringing all the facilities to the very gates of farmhouses many miles away from post office.
 The rural service is to be expensive, but MT. Machen suggests that, as it's establishment will wipe out many small offices, and so save rent andclerk hire, that it is promoting correspond- ence, and so increasing the revenue, he does not think that it can be denounced as an extravaganza. It is not expect ed that the star service will be at once dispensed with, as there are many routes over which it would not be jus tifia ble to establish rural free deliv- cry for very sparseRopulation. The star service costs about $5,500,000 a wear.

Living stones of the south Sea.

The visitor to the Falkland islands sees number of what appear to be weather-beaten, moss-covered bowl ders of various sizes scattered here and there. On attempting to turn one over he is surprised to find that it is anchored to the ground by roots of great strength. These are not bowl ders; they are treesl No other place in the world can show such peculiar ity of forest" growth. The Falkland islands are exposed to strong polar wind, which renders it impossible for trees to grow in the proper form; na- ture has consequently adapted herself to the prevailing conditions and pro- duced this strange form of plant life.
