PARCEL DELIVERY b TUBE.
PriVnte Company That Has Installed
a System in BostOn-PIan Would
Save Much Traffic.

Pneumatic tubes have long been
used for the transmission of change,
messages, and other light articles.
They were also employed for a time
III Boston, New York and PhiIadeI-
phia for mail trans mission, although
this was stopped about a year ago
1t is quite possible that tubes-which
have long been in extensive use on
the other side OF the water for
the dispatch of mail, may again be en-
ployed for that purpose in this coun-
try, and not only in the cities named,
but also in others. In the meantime
an interesting experiment in the use
of pneumatic tubes for delivering or
binary parcels was begun by a pri-
vate company in Boston last August
and is described by the engineer of
the company, Mr.. Edward D. Sabine,
in the Engineering News. The line
starts in the midst of the retail dis
trict and has two branches. One runs
to the Back Bay, distance of a mile
and a half. The other runs a mile to
a point in the South end, whence a
line continues a mile farther to Rox-
bury, and from there another line eX-
tends a mile and quarter farther to
Dorchester. Every line is really
double, one tube being for outward
and the other for inward business.
The carrier travels al the rate of a
mile in two minutes. Bundles are col
lected by team for deposit and are
distributed by team from the other
end. 1t is obvious that a proper
pneumatic tube parcel delivery sys-
tenn, having direct connections with
big stores and other centers of dis
tribution in the downtown district in
any large city, would obviate a great
amount of traffic in that district.
The Boston system is not such a one,
but so far as it goes the results of its
use will be instructive.

THE PEOPLE OF MARS.
New Convert to Theory That Planet
Is Inhabited-Snys Commune
cation Is Impossible.

Prof. Samuel 4. Harker, occupying
the chair of mathematics and astron-
omy in the University of indianapolis,
lately gave out statement that he is
a convert to the theories advanced by
Sir Robert Ball, Garrett Serviss and
others, that the planet Mars is in
habited, and that its people are ex
ceedingIy intelligent and enterprising.
but it is impossible to communicate
with them.
Prof. Harl1er further says, accord
ing to the Cincinnati Enquirer, that
''the Martians are people of stu
pendous power and wonderful engi-
Deering skill. Were it possible to sig
nal them, there is little doubt that
they would understand and reply, as
they are race of enormous brain de-
velopment.'
Prof. Harker further adds that in
all of the thousands of years OF
the earth's history it's people have
not succeeded in changing the face of
the planet to any such extent as the
people of Mars have changed theirs,
but he sees no way of signaling to
them. He does not take kindly to
the theory advanced by Tesla, of cleo
trio signals conveyed through the
ether. as Prof Harker believes it an i'm
possibility to develop the requisite
energy to transmit the waves so far.

It is not improbable that EiwoDd, a
deserted Kansas boom town Of anti
bellum days, on the west bank of the
Missouri river opposite St. Joseph. is
to be rejuvenated and the dream OF

may vet materiaIize after a Rip Van

Of a century. The building of the new

THE ORIGINAL JUDGE LYNCH.
no One Condemned InwIessness More
Heartily Than He-StranSe
Prank of Tradition.

Tradition some times plays strange
pranks with dead mems regulations,
says Thomas Walker Page in Allan
tic. 1t would make an interesting
ha,f hour for the eavesGropper be-
yond the Styx, if he could hear the
exchange of amenities between Duns
Scotus and Judge" Lynch-the one
a shrewd, clear reasoner, whose name
BOW signifies a fool; the other, sim
pie Quaker gentleman, whose name
has come to stand for organized saw
agery. Charles Lynch was a man
whose services to his country as a
brave pioneer and righteous judge, as
soldier and a statesman, are by no
means deserving of oblivion, still less
of obloquy. It seems, indeed, one of
the iniquities of fate that his name
should now be universally applied to
procee dings that no one would con-
denim more heartily than he. The
records of the court of Bedford coun-
ty, in Virginia, and those of various
Quaker meetings, the journals of the
Virginia house of burgesses and of
the first constitutional convention,
taken together with family documents
and traditions, show him to have been
an upright and useful member of So
ciety and a wise and energetic leader
at the most important crisis of Amer-
lean history.

TWO Ideas About WORK

Somebody asked eX-Secretary OF the
treasury Lyman j. Gage, why he did
not stop work and have a good time.
You see Gage is at least 80, has accum-
ulated what Carnegie would term
competence" and million or two
more and doesn't need to labor.
Here is what Nv. Gage said: BE
cause the two things don't go togeth-
cr. l can retire and be miserable, or
[ can work and enjoy myself. | am
going 10 work -
But at the same time SIR. Gage was
talking Z. Z. Adams, Il Wall Stree
broker, rich at 20, was preparing to
throw work overheard and put in all
the days, left to him searching fol
happiness. Ames said: Some men
will grub, grub, although they do not
know what to do with their millions.
I'm sorry for them. I'm through dig
ging I'm going to climb mountains
in Europe and sail my yacht"
Will not Secretary Gage be the hap
pier Of the two? Isn't continual
search for pleasure the hardest Kind
Of labor? After Mr.. AmeS has climb
ed the mountains and sailed his yacht
won t lie become tired Of idling? II
he has the right kind Of mind and
heart he may do Sore thinking. He
will see things in the chase for happi-
ness that will hurt. He will find
some sorrow ana great deal OF p0N-
erty. Everywhere he will lind Oppor
tunities for doing good. if he wants to
do it. He will see SO much of OppreS
sion and distress and mans inhuman-
ity to his own kind that he will hate
his sci isl life, if he is built on broad
lines. The man who has millions and
deliberately sets out to spend his life
and his dollars in disqualification
must have a heart Of stone if he can
carry out his plan.
Mr.. Gage thinks work is happiness.
Mr.. AncS thinks work-labur where
there is no financial needs a curse
