expenditures OF the department, but It
Will mark a radical change In the man
agement of the legal bureau. Mr.
Christiancy was the successor of Har-
rison j. Barrett, who was for years an
attorney under Assistant Attorney
General Yynor.
Christiancy followed in the groove
which Barrett had carved. Under Cen
eral Tyner and Barrett, and later under
Christiancy when General Tyner, by
reason of his yeLls, was incapacitated
from active management, the work OF
postoff1ce inspectors in many important
cases was practically nullified. In
none of the recent get-rich-quick inves-
legations conducted by the postoffice
department We're the conclusions of the
postoffice inspectors accepted until the
actuaries had made their own investi-
cations. Christiancy, In the absence
of Tyner, passed on the reports of those
actuaries. His close relations with
Harrison j. Barrett, who was employed
because of his alleged influence In the
legal bureau, has long been a matter
OF notoriety. Had 1t not been for the
sensation caused by the abstraction of
postmaster general probably would
have appointed Christiancy as the head
of the legal bureau.
A New Law Probable.
In the radical changes in the reorgan,
ization of the postotilce department and
the Inauguration of a new system the
impression prevails that congress will
enact a law which will repeal the pres
ent law making the assistant attorney
general for the postoffice department
an appointee of the postmaster general,
and will place the legal bureau of the
department under the Jurisdiction and
control of the attorney general. This
will give the appointing power for the
assistant attorney general of the post
office department to the president, and
the nomination Will have to be con-
firmed by the senate, as is now the case
with the assistants attorneys general
for all other departments

Sioux City, Ia, May 14.-As ma ~
men will be employed on the construct,
tion Of the new Armour & Co. plant ins
Sioux City as were employed in the.
operation of the Armour plant which,
burned here-from 500 to 600.
This fact was stated today by r. c.
Clark, superintendent of construction
for Armour & Co., and by w. E.
Pier:e, chief architect of the same
company. They arrived in Sioux City
today after several weeks' delay at the
st. Louis plant Mr.. Pierce will be the
main representative of Armour & Co.
here during the construction OF the new
plant and will supervise that work.
Plans Are Extensive.
With the plans of the new plant
spread out before them, Messrs. Clark
and Pierce sat with General MA mayer
Eaton of the Stock Yards company and
Manager Lennon of Armour & Co all
this forenoon discussing details.
Admitting that the plans had beA. I
practically approved in their entirety,
Superintendent Clark said there wers.
still some details to discuss with Man.
ager Eaton. For this reason he would.
not permit the newspaper man to Pc
tuse the plans nor would he give the.
exact dimensions of the new buildings.
Mr.. Clark, however, counted the build
lngs from the plans and said there were
twelve of them. Manager Eaton said
the plant that burned consisted Of only
three buildings.
Architect Pierce said the institution
would be as large as the Omaha plant
Of Armour & Company The largest
buildings will be 80 feet, or six stories
high, modern in every particular. thor
oughly sanitary and be operated in the
most approved fashion.
The capacity of the new plant will be
from three to four times that Of the
old establishment, which was from $50
to 500 cattle, and from 1000 to $1,000
hogs daily. Architect Pierce was au-.
thority for the statement regarding the.
increased capacity.
The plant according to Samuel Nc.
Roberts, who was recently here. Wilt
cost to exceed 100000.
Work Will Be Hurried.
I'VE cannot say exactly when work.
will begin" said Superintendent Clark,
but there will be no time lost. We
have instructions to hurry things and
we will do 1t. Under favorable c0ndi
lions we will employ from 500 to 800
men in the construction Of the plant. !
ut is a big job to build plant the.
size of the one to be put up here. Wel
expect to have the work far enough.
along to permit Of carrying on the In.
side work next winter. No, killing CAM.

At recent test in Germany OF ths
PollakVirag system of telegraphy q
speed of $4,000 words an hour was at
tained. In transmitting, this system,
like other fast systems. uses a strip of
paper previously punched with holes
representing dots and dashes. The
most novel feature Of the system is the
method OF receiving. The incoming
electric impulses cause n thin strip OF
metal. resembling q telephone dia-
phragm to vibrate, and thus move q
tiny mirror attached thereto. A slen-
der beam of light from an incandescent
light falls upon the mirror and Is re-
flected thence to a strip OF Photographic
cally sensitive paper. which Is steadily
unrolled by clock work when messages
come. Chemicals for development" be-
Ing applied, the paper exhibits con.
tinuous dark line with upward pro-
Jections for dashes and downward ones
for dots The message must then be
deciphered and the translation must
be written out

The way in which billiard playing is
simplified b. the device of Munich
professor h.. astonished those who
have witnessed The test. says the Amer
lean inventor. The sides of an ordi-
nary billiard ball are provided with six
mirrors, one or more of which can be
turned down when a play is made, and
the advantage rests in the fact that any
image is reflected In the same angle In
which 1t falls on the mirror, just as the
billiard ball rebounds from the cushion
in the same angle as that of striking.
