Letter Tubes in Paris.

From the engineering News.
A scheme is being promoted in Paris for
constructing a system of subterranean
pneumatic conduits for the rapid transport
tation Of mail matter and parcel freight
and express. The proposition has been
brought to the notice Of the government,
and official trials will be made OF models.
The system employs electricity as its mo-
tive power. and its inventors represent that
they can transport cars weighing ton over
any given distance at a speed of 160 miles
an hour. The system Is styled the "elec-
trio postal service" A metal duct is to be
constructed, of a width Of not exceeding
thirty inches, which will be wide enough
for a double track to accommodate trains
going in opposite directions. The cars would
be simply sheet iron cases supported on
two or four axles, and carrying the electric
motor. The central compartment OF each
car" measuring about twenty cubic feet.
would be reserved for freight. The total
length of each vehicle. would be about
twenty-five feet. but 1t would not exceed
twenty inches in height. To counterfeit
the resistance of the air-naturally Of great
force in view of the excessive speed at
tained by the vehicie-the front and rear
of each car would be equipped with wind
cutters In pArabolie form.

NAMES CHRISTMAS TREES.
The Once Despised Fir Now Popular
Source Of Revenue.

Bangor Correspondence New York Tribune.
The Christmas tree industry is now at its
height in this state. Many carloads, and
even vessel loads. of the trees are going
forward every week to the large cities. A
few years ago the fir tree was looked upon
as a nuisance in Maine. Now 1t Is a source
of considerable income to hundreds, and to
the transportation companies as well.
The beginning of It's popularity was in
1892. when party of hunters who had been
III a steam yacht to Newfoundland to shoot
caribou called at Sargentville, on Penobscot
bay. to visit some abandoned copper mines
short distance inland. The leaves had
fallen from the deciduous trees, causing the
dark evergreens to stand out in bold
relief against neutral background OF
browns and grays The owner of the yacht
was struck by the beauty of the scene. and
also with a practical idea. He hired men
and horses and had cut about coo of the
frs. which he carried on the deck of his
yacht to Boston. where they were offered
for sale.
The demand exceeded the yachtsman's
greatest expectations, for the whole lot
was snapped up in short order. So profit
able was the first venture that in the next
christmas season fully fifty thousand frs
Were sent from the shores Of Penobscot
bay to Boston, where they were all sold at
good prices, and in the following year the
trade was extended to New York, where
INC AZ "0ic DIS eagerly laRen In 1876 the
shipments of trees from Maine to the largo
cities had increased to about $50 OOoO. and
In 1899 over 100000 were sold.
In, some sections, where the fir is espe-
cialiy prolific, the cutting and preparing Of
christmas trees Is made the occasion Of
Iestive gatherings, corresponding to the
hrskfngs Of fall time, whole families going
into the woods and taking their dinners
a!cng. man cuts the trees close to ths
roots and boy or a strong girl cuts with
a sharp Ratchet the few dead limbs from
the pase Women and boys tie the trees
INTO bundles of a dozen, and then the
harvest IS piled into hay racks and carried
TO the nearest railroad station The small
ef children gather the trailing creepers OF
the ground pine. pluck branches of glossy
Wlntergreen and gather the red fruit OF
the Wild rasta shrub all of which are pack
ed IN boxes and sent to the cities for the
making OF wreaths and garlan6s for the
decoration of church and home.
Inc evergreen harvests are eenera1iv
pousht by men who make a business OF
supplying the Christmas markets of the
clties. though many farmers and Others
send their crops direct to market For
uees nve to six feet in height the BUYERS
IN hdaine pay cents each, and for trees six
10 ten feet In height the price paid is from
~ 10 ID cents. The J-cent tree sells in the
city market for % cents while the l5-cent
Tree OFTEN brings 81 or more The total
revenue to Maine people this year from the
christmas greens crop will probably amount
to $4,000.

A CUSTOM SHELTER.
To BE Erected on the Gila River, Near
Florence.

w s Fletcher who a few weeks
since, purchased the Weedin- Bouviolle
lead-silver mines at Mineral Hill.
known as the Golden CULVER group. has
decided TO erect siXty-ton smelling
plant on the ella river. near Florence.
for the treatment Of the ores of said
group and also for the treatment OF
gold concentrates and rich gold ores
which he VIII ship from his gold mines
in MohaVe county says the Florence
Blade. He closed the deal for the Mo-
have mines last week and arrived here
Monday from those mines. coming by
way Of Kingman ana Phoenix. He IS
very much pleased with these gold
properties. A large per cent of their
ores, he says, show masses Of wire gold.
The richest Of this ore he viii. ship to
his Florence smclter and the lower
grade will be concentrated. These
concentrates will also be shipped here
for treatment at the smelter. There is
a new Ave-stamp mill on one of the
gold claims and this will be converted
into concentrating plant.
After getting his own mines on
paving basis Mr. Fletcher will add TO
the capacity and equipment of his
smelling plant with a view to handling
all classes OF custom ores. and he is
Just the man to build up a great Gus
tom smelteI. He is a clear headed bus
mess man and brim full of. energy and
enterprise. He made n fortune in min
ny in british Columbia, then came
down 70 Pasadena. Cal. and built hln;-
self and family a beautiful home. But
being young and fun of spirit he could
not remain idle and came out to
Arizona too see what this section could
offer N the way Of safe ard profitable
Investments. Under the guidance of
the editor Of theBiadc and G. @ Werner
he went into the hills. and in less than
two days saw enough to convince him
that th's was the greatest mining field
in the west. The result was. he took
over the Golden Culver group promptly
and at once commenced TO figure on
plans for a smelling plant that would
handle his own and other ores of this
district
Pinal county is fortunate in having
a man of Mr.. F'letcher's means. business
ability and enterprise become interested
here on a large scale. He is Of that
class of men who put their shoulders
to the wheels Of progress and help
push the county ahead. The Blade W i'll
have in him a valuable assistant in les
nattles for progress in this county and
