DEFoE's Provision.
His Description Of an Imaginary Erup-
ton at St. Vincent.

From the London Academy.
The terrible news from st. Vincent, fol-
lowing the impression that this island had
escaped the volcanic deluge which has Gre
mated half Martinique. at once recalls and
reverses the famous hoax by which Daniel
Defoe led all London to believe, In IT'S that
the whole Island OF st. Vincent had been
blown up and obiiterated. On the basis OF
his own Imagination. on some thin ship
story, Defoe wrote in "Mist's Journal a
circumstantial account OF the destruction
of this island. giving such details as. with
all our facilities OF news Transmission. we
wait for in vain today. After leading up
very gradually to the catastrophe, he told
his readers that. Ion the night of the said
18th, about midnight the whole Island of
St Vincent rose up in the Air, with a most
dreadful eruption of Fire from underneath
the Earth, and an inconceivable Noise IN
the Air at its rising up. that 1t
was not only blown, but blown out
of the very sea, with dreadful force,
as If 1t were torn up by the Roots, or
blown up from the Foundations of the
Earth. Finally. to bring the event home
to his readers, he recalled an accident in
foundry in Moorfields, where quantity OF
liquid gunmetai coming into contact with
some water had blown up the works-just
as a journalist of today might perhaps re-
call the recent destructive fire in the same
district to suggest however family, the
storm of fire which swept over these hap
less islands recently.

Washington Letter.

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
Monday, Sept. l, 1902.
The letter sent you week ago con-
tanned brief description Of the ener-
getic methods which characterize the
Treasury and Navy Departments under
the present administration, but it must
not be supposed that the spirit of pro-
gress is confined to the two departments
mentioned. Perhaps the most import
ant division of the work of the govern
ment is performed by the Postoflice De.
partment, for the reason that its eff
cheney affects every citizen, For num-
Der of years, the extent to which civil
service reform methods have been car
ried out in this department have been
proverbial and when the present post
master general assumed Office he an
nounced that hereafter no fourth class
postmasters would be removed except
for cause. But it is, perhaps, in other
directions that the greatest progress is
being made. The extension of the ru-
raj free delivery system has progressed
with marvellous rapidity. AT the pres"
ent time, the rural routes cover an ag-
gregate territory of over 1000 square
miles and in that area some 100000
people enjoy the privilege of receiving
their mail daily at their doors. Con-
gross has been libe; al in its appropra-
tons for this purpose and there is ev-
cry evidence that the people are CRATE
full. One Of the most remarkable feat
ures of the extension of rural routes is
the great number of letters mailed in
the districts served. It would seem
that daily delivery and collection of
the mail had served to impcll all the
residents of the locality 10 write to their
friends at least three times as often rs
had hitherto been their custom and this
great increase in the amount of mail
carried is not limited to the first few
months but continues steadily, altho' in
somewhat diminished ratio. The only
directors to the extension of the rural
delivery routes are star route carriers
whose business is injured thereby, some
country merchants who claim that they
have suffered a falling off IN trade be-
cause the farmers are no longer com
PEELED to come frequently to town for
their mail and certain politicians and
their proteges, who see in the extension
OF the rural routes necessary diminu-
ton in the number of small cross roads

have regarded as essential to the far
therance of their political fortunes

having been already made for the large

each map showing every residence, shop

superintendence of MIR. W. A. Machen,
superintendent Of the rlral delivery
division, are produced at an exceeding
ly small cost from data and drawings
furnished the postoffice department by
local assessors and other officials. They
are reproduced by cheap process and
their value when the whole area of the
