25o Miles an Hour bv Mail.

It is stated that the Italian postal
authorities arc considering scheme,
devised by an engineer named Pisci-
celli, for the establishment Of a new
rapid electric postal service. 1t is pro-
posed to transmit the mail in alulni-
mum boxes travelling along overhead
wires at the rate Of 400 kilometres all
hour A letter could thus be sent from
Rome to Naples in twenty five min
utes. and from Rome to Paris in five
hours. "A technical commission has
been appointed to investigate the in
ventor's claims. The track will con-
sist OF steel wires. supported every
300 feet by poles forty-ive feet in
height. From these wires are suspend
ed small motors propelled by current
from the line. Each steel Wire is de.
signed to carry weight OF two tons,
and the motors, with their aluminium
luggage carriers. weigh only seventy
pounds each. 1t will be possible to

The London Express prints in arti-
Gle on the British National debt show
ing thar the wars waged by Great
Britain during Victoria $ reign cost the
English people nearly billion dollars.
\ list Of the various wars and insur-
rections requiring unusual expenditures
is given, and De Bloch's assertion that
future armed collisions would be very
costly is amply corroborated. 1t ap-
pears. according to the table OF the
Express, that it cost nearly three and
q half times as much to wage the war
against the Transvaal as il did to fight
Russia. The two conflicts lasted about
the same time. but the facilities were
noted so great for eating up money be-
tween 1855 and 1857 as between 1900
and 1902.

Walking Toucs.

Walking is an art, almost said to
be one OF the lost arts. says Country
Life in America. 1t is astonishing
how few know how to walk: know
how to acquire the measured stride,
the spiingy step, the easy poise Of the
body and the swing OF the arms. which
make walking at once cne OF the most
heaithiul and enjoyable forms OF phys
ical exercise. For the real pleasure
of walking one must turn 10 the cour-
try. Pavenents are but dead, I'M
yielding matter ut best. In the turf
OF the country there is n spring in
response TO the pressure of the foot
which is !: delight and an inspiration
in itself. The purity Of the air sets
the blood to racing sloriously. Good
walkers find twenty miles Cay
comfortable average, allowing plenty
OF time for rest aud "lcaing." Two
weeks thus spent will afford memories
to last for all time. and with them n
measure of health and strength,
of vital forces. nervous
energy which will find expression in
increased power for Accomplishment
in the worlds work.
