Uncle Sam has been making some
comparisons between his pstoffice bus
mess and that of other places. and he
las found queer things. For instance.
he has found that while the United
States. Germany and Great Britain
have the most postoffices in the world,
the country that has the fourth place
is far away in Asia. 1t is British In
dia, and it ranks fourth in the num-
Der of its postoffiCes.
Another country that stands high in
the list is japan. 1t is eleventh in
the list for number of postoffices and
leads such European countries as
Switzerland, Spain, Portugal. Sweden.
Norway, the Netherlands, Denmark,
Belgium and Greece.
The land that has the smallest num-
Der of postofficcs is the independent
republic OF the Congo. 1t has thirty
two. In these thirty-two it employs
seventy-seven men. Every now and
then a letter carrier of the Congo

whenever you gazed down at the globe
you would find it in darkness, you
would see darting lines of light going
criss-cross over it in every direction.
Where the United States lies you
would see more Of them than anywhere
else. You would see them gliding rest
Iessly from the Atlantic ocean to the
Pacific, from the great lakes of fresh
water TO the Gulf of MeXico's strong
brine. Glimmering lines would be visi-
bic to you where they go threading
among the Rocky mountains.
North of the United States you would
see some black patches where there
would be no such bewildering maze Of
them. But even there, even in the will
derness of Alaska, you would see some.
In fact, you would see some lights
flashing and hurrying along every
where on the globe. You would see
them rushing across Siberia. You
would see them in Africa, some fitting
along the shores of the Indian ocean,
some speeding down toward the noble
cape of Good Hope. others going along
the northern coast on the shores of the

THE WORLDS BIGGEST SHIP.

The new German passenger steam
ship Kaiser Wilhelm II, which has
been built for service between Bremen
and New York, is not only the biggest
ship in the world. but is designed to
be the fastest. According to the con-
tract with the constructors, she must
make at least 25 miles an hour. and
the builders are confident that she will
attain speed of 81
To enable her to do this, four sepa-
rate sets of mighty engines will drive
her. Nineteen boilers supply steam
to them
The ship will be able to carry more
than 1000 persons. She is fourteen
feet longer than the Great Eastern,
but not as wide by eleven feet as that
monstrous vessel was. Where the
Great Eastern could have floated easily
the Kaiser Wilhelm II would be stuck
helplessly, for she needs at least thir-
ty-seven feet of water under her I
float at all, while the Great Eastern
could navigate in water only twenty
five feet deep.

would take to flight. This was NOT -
case. however. Before midnight 60
there was such a roaring in the tbicI-
cts that the soldiers ran awav in
i.snic' and most of the people ran witb
them. The King was wroth when ~
news came to him. '''S
Are my soldiers children and cou,-

this goblin, and what is the thin
hke?" 'e
1T was a great beast with six lAgs
and with teeth a foot long" replied
one of the soldiers.
1T was big bird with a long heal
and eyes as big as saucers," added a
second.
We'll" said the King, IT will send
a hundred soldiers this time, and no
matter whether this goblin is a. heast
or bird you must capture it, If Won
do not every one of you shall be fog
ged and put into jail!''
The hundred soldiers marched awav
but it was the same as before. As
soon as night came on there was such
a roaring in the forest that the brayest
man became afraid and ran away. The
King didn't keep to his word to pun
ish them, as he began to have fear
himself, and he was about to send out
500 men this time when he was told
that a little girl desired audience with
him.
He ordered her to be brought into his
presence, and when she stood before
him he asked:
"Well, child, what do you want of
your King?"
IF you please. sir, I came about the
goblin in the Black Forest" she re-
piled.
But what do you know of it? You
are but little girl
II am Fan-Fan, the Fairy, sir, and I
can do what your soldiers have failed
to do. If there is a goblin in the forest
l can capture him."
What nonsense!" laughed the King.
when hundred men run away, sure
ly you could do nothing"
But l should like to try, oh, King"
said Fan-Fan. Let me go to the for
est alone before you send out any more
soldiers"
The King did not believe that she
could accomplish anything, but he
granted her request, and promised that
if she captured the goblin he would
make a Princess of her. The news had
gone abroad, and when Fan-Fan start
ed for the forest she was cheered and
applauded. and everybody hoped she
would earn the reward. She reached
the forest before dark, and entered it,
and the people who waited about to
see what would happen to her heard
the same noises as before, and were
terrified.
They were saying that the fairy had
been destroyed, when she came out of
the woods leading an animal by the
ear.
1t was nothing like lion, tiger or
bear-nothing like a bird 1t was

Even whaling ships are used by I'm
Gle Sam. They go far North into
Boring Sea. One mail route of Uncle
Sam is attended to entirely by steam
whalers that sail form Seattle in
Washington. These ships take letters
and packages from home to men hid
den away in the frozen country north
of Boring Straits. The whalers' and
sealers in the Arctic Circle are hunt
ed for by Uncle Sam and he tries to
deliver their mail to them, though
they may have been cruising for year
or more. Sometimes he will send their
mail from ship to ship, until at last
one will find the vessel and send the
letters aboard. They may be many
months old by that time, but they are
none the less welcome for that you
may be sure, and they are read over
and over in the dim light from oil
lamps in the laboring, tempest-beaten
ships.

from one side of the wagon TO the 9TH
er; If a boom is attached to the sail a
jibe would result toe often in a smart
rap on the head.
The mast is fastened to the wagon
bed by means of a step, block of
wood shaped as shown in figure l. A
hole in which to fit the bottom of the
mast is cut in the block, as indicated
by the dotted lines.
If any member of the crew possesses
an old bicycle the power of the hand
gear may be very much multiplied by
the use of the sprocket wheels.
Add a third pair of wheels to your
sail wagon, but have them turn with
out touching the ground. To one of
these wheels at the large sprocket
wheel, and to one of the hind wheels
attach the smaller sprocket wheel:
then run the chain around the two;
see figure II.
While this arrangement adds some

on is propelled by hand, it will not
add to its speed when propelled by the
wind, and therefore it is not essential.
AS the crew of sail wagon often
desire to take trips which will last d
whole day, it is convenient to have l
box in which luncheon may be stored.
Figure shows a good form for
such box. 1t may be attached to
the under side of the wagon, where
it will be out of the way
While sail wagon will not eat
into the wind like a good knockabout
or a. catboat. it will do much more
than sail directly before the wind. In
planning a race or a trip, the direction
of the wiEd should be taken into con-
si6eration, so that there will be little
or no pulling at the hand gear. When
the wind is fair and a good stretch of
read lies before you, unbolt the hand
gear from the back wheel and pull it
up out of the way so that it will not
hold you back.
If it is possible, arrange to have
two crews and two sail wagons, as
this adds greatly to the fun.

fear for their lives. They would be

perhaps they would be resting for a

Alaska, to the Cape of Good Hope, to
carry the mails.
Your Uncle Sam was not one of the
FIRST in the field of carrying mails.
Some of the smaller countries in Eu-
rope were far ahead of him for time.
But now he is the leader of them all.
He has more postoffices and employees
than any other country. He carries
more mail matter. More mail is de-
livered to each of his sons and daugh-
tiers than is the case anywhere else.
He has thirty-three thousand more
postoffiees than Germany and fifty-five
thousand more than Great Britain. He
has eight thousand more employees than
Germany, and Great Britain is thirty
nine thousand behind him.
He has nearly three hundred and six,
teen thousand more miles of mail
routes than the next nearest country
Russia. He spends ten millions of dol
lars more a year on his mails than
any other country.
But he is behind in some things still
Germany, for instance, has eight thou
sand more letter boxes than Uncle Sam.
He ranks second in this. In the num-
Der of postoffices as compared with
population, he is seventh in the list.
Tha countries that lead him are New
