HEAVY INCREASE IN MAIL
QUADRENNIAL WEIGHING SHOWS
INCREASED TONNAGE.
All Railroads Out Of Indianapolis Az
fected by the Increase-Rural
Delivery q Cause.

Yesterday marked the last of the govern
ment mail weighing, which has been keep
ing hundred men busy since the 4th of
March, and the reports of the number of
pounds of mail handled through the Union
Station since that time are now in the
hands of the superintendent of the railroad
mail service. The United States govern
ment weighs the entire mail handled by all
the railroads in the country every four
years and the total tonnage handled will
be made a basis of the pay to the rail-
roads for the following four years. The
reports from this city go to the superin-
tendent of the fifth division of the mail
service. where they are classified and added
in the general report, which is sent into
Washington about the 1st of July.
The total tonnage handled by the roads
at this station is much heavier than last
year and the increase out of the city of
Indianapolis is larger than at any time
in the record of the railroad contract sys-
tenn.
The mail traffic over the st. Louis di-
vision of the Big Four Railroad increased
to such an extent that the company was
compelled to put train No. 4S into service
to carry mail exclusively, In addition to the
other through mail trains they already had
in operation. All trunk lines have had a
substantial increase caused by the rural
free delivery routes being established and
the flooding of the country with maya
zines and papers.

LECTURE OF M. c. HUYETTE
HIS AUDIENCE COMPOSED OF MANU-
FACTURERS AND ENGINEERS.
A History of Coal the Source of
Power PrOductiOn-Abound
I'm Illustrations.

M. c. Huyette, of Chicago, a recognized
expert on coal combustion. lectured at Ma
sonic Hall last night under the auspices
of Lodge No. of the National Associa-
ton of Stationary Steam Engineers on
Goal as a Factor in Power Production"
The lecture was illustrated by number
of stereopticon views. About two hundred
manufacturers and members of the lodge
were present. Among those most interested
were c. II. Campbell, Charles Morgan, of
Shelbyville. Clay Whitley. of Muncie. Har-
~ Reynolds, of Marion, among the out-of-
town manufacturers, and Messrs. Jarvis
and Winner, of Kingan & Co.. Mr.. Evans,
Of the Commercial Electric Company,
George T. Evans, of the National Linseed
Oil Company. and many other Indianapo-
lis manufacturers.
Mr.. Huyette gave the history of coal as
the source of power production, describing
its earliest use and its development in the
last thirty years. 1t is the indispensable
fuel of the country, he said. Nothing has
been found that will supersede it and the
progress of the study of it's use is bringing
much greater results, particularly in the
use it. He estimated that the coal sup
ply of the Appalachian field is ample for
200 years to come in anthracite coal and at
least 80 in bituminOuS. Coal to-day, he
said, is king of fuels, because of its econ
omy and efficiency. The education of the
men who use it, therefore. is of the great
est Importance because in their hands Is
the responsibility for efficiency and econ
omy.
His lecture abounded I'm illustrations of
the practical methods Of firing and stok-
best combustion, the greatest efficiency in
power and the smallest production of smoke.
