NEW DEVICES RESIGNED
FOR LOCAL MAIL BOXES
Bell to Ring in Office When
Collection Is Made.

Under the same roof with the depart
ment and subject TO It's constant scru-
ting, the Washington city postofice is re-
garded as a model for all others. New
devices for the service are always first
tried here.
With the beginning Of the year num-
Der Of entirely new inventions In postal
business viii be tested. One is a new
mail box which is said 10 be the most
perfect arrangement yet made to keep
tab on letter carriers and collectors. The
boxes Will be Arranged on a regular
route and numbered. Each will be con-
nected by a wire with an annunciator
board In the main Office, and as the col
lector opens the box to take out the mail
a bell viii ring and an index on the
board Will tell the box that is open.
The electrical work CT tie new box Is
so fixed that If the collector fails to open
a box by reason Of forgetting It or be-
cause it fails to work and ne cannot get
the door open, there is wire which pre-
vents his opening the next box in the
series, and the fact is also announced al
the main ofice. This makes sure that
the collector is doing his duty. ana that
every box is opened at each collection.
There is a third novelty in the new
system. In each box there is to be Lung
on the inside 4 telephone transmitter and
receiver. and. II at any time the col
lector should need to communicate with
his chief at the Office, he can DO so. or
the latter can tell from the annunciator
just where he is and talk with him II
necessary.
There will lie elaborate tests in Janu-
airy OF the automobile as a vehicle for
mail carriers and collectors. The rave
ments Of Washington are so well adapted
to the automobile that IL is believed that
vehicle is destined 70 do away with the
use OF horses before the end OF the next
year. The difficulty IN the way Of substitu-
ton Is the added cost Of the machines
Most OF the carriers and collectors Who
use horses furnish them, and they can
not afford to dispose Of their horses and
pay several hundred dollars for auto
mobiles The postofice allows the car
rier who furnishes a horse a certain sum
each month for feed and care. The plan
nov Is 70 invite a thorough test with the
view Of letting a large general contract
to some automobile company that will
supply machines and keep them in run
ming order.

.GALLINGER DEFENDS HIS
VIEWS ON VIVISECTION
Says Bill Would Only Regu-
late This Practice.

Senator Galllnger, Of New Hampshire.
has given the press an answer to the let
ter OF DR.. ". ". Keen. Of Philadelphia
criticising the Senator for his alleged
position on the subject Of vivisection.
The letter OF Dr. Keen, which was pub
lished before II was received by Senator
Gallinger, contained an account Of the
physicians success in the operation upon
Midshlpman Aiken. and gave due credit
to the value OF experiments in vivisec-
tion. The first point made by Senator
Gallinger is that "self-advertisement is
prohibited by the ethics Of our profes-
sion"
The second point IS. that mlsrerro-
sentation is forbidden by the ethics Of
mankind No measure that would pro-
hibit vivisection, or prevent any of the
experiments which you claim were
necessary TO give you the requisite
knowledge in the Aiken case. has ever
been introduced by me in the Senate.
nor has any such legislation been recon-
mended by me TO the Senate
Your statement that / have been en-
gagged in efforts to secure inhumane and
cruel legislation Is without the slightest
warrant in fact. have been engaged in
efforts to secure humane legislation that
would prevent cruelty. The bills which I
have favored would, II enacted. only
regulate yiyisection in the District OF
Columbia SO as to prevent admitted
cruelty. and should have the support OF
every humane person"

LIFE MARKED WITH
DEEPEST CONTRAST

The life Of Mrs. Julia Dent Grant was
marked with deepest contrast. She had
tasted the bitterness Of poverty. and en-
j0yed the luxury and comfort that comes
from modest wealth. She lived in OBJ
scurity aad iD the ImeHght Of great
publicity. Her life was inseparably
identified with the career Of her distiu-
guisned husband and Il must be said
that it was largely due 10 her faith in
him, that after much adversely ana dis

wrought almost unparalleled military
success and endless fame She believed
in him when others lost hope and he
himself was On despair.
Mrs. Grant was born on bur fathers

cases there are a number OF others in
