to make an ordinary box car available
for the purposes Of transporting high
class animals. A car of this description
will contain four of these outfits, thus
affording means of shipping twelve
animals. The construction is such that
it is readily possible to take it apart
and store it in a small space when it
Is not desired for use; and when there
is a demand for its services it can be
quickly put together again whenever
it Is desired. Such Il device Is particu-
larly desirable for service on shipboard
and as part Of railroad equipment. as
it dispenses with the necessity of keep
ing number of cattle cars on hand for
this class of traffic.
Another feature Of this invention is
the means afforded for Suspending or

Museum is $500 Years Old.

A museum Of the sixth century. B.
c., has come into the possession of the
University of PENNSYLVANIA. The mu-
scum is not big, being contained in a
large earthen jar. but the contents are
very valuable from a historical point
of view.
Whether the specimens were eXca-
waited or purchased is not known, but
they undoubtedly represent 4 collection
which must have been made during
the time Of BelshaZZar, since it was
found in one of the upper strata at Nip
pur.
The best specimen in the jar is an in
scription containing the titles Of Sar-
gon l.. who lived about $500 B. G..
There is black stone votive tablet of
Ur-Gur, 2700 B. c., which tells that this
king built the great wall around the
city Of Nippur.
Then there Is the terra Gotta brick
stamp of Bur-Sin, which is the first yet
found of that king. Another tablet
states that the large hall Of the temple
was called Emakh, and that there were
twenty-four other shrines to gods in the
temple besides the ones that have been

Louis, in The Republic Of that city, 1t
has been decided to use the Oregon
boot" when the men are placed in
the train to be brought back to Union,
Mo-, for trial.
1 have seen the Oregon Doot used
but once in my experience in the Police
Department. That was when Marion
c. Hedgpeth was brought back to st.
Louis for the Glendale train robbery.
Hedgpeth was regarded as dangerous
man, and the California authorities
who bl ought him back decided to put
the boot on him. Hedgpeth say that
it was useless to try to get away with
it on his leg and they got him here
safely.
The Oregon boot is so made that the
weight Of the lead band which en-
circles the leg just above the ankle
rests upon the floor when the prisoner
is not walking. The weight Is about
eight or twelve pounds. 1t is Fastened
to the heel of the shoe by strips of
steel, which run down on either side.
These strips are screwed to the heel.
When the prisoner stands or sits down
the weight, therefore, is not upon the
leg. But when he walks he must lift
the entire weight, and if he tries to run
or iump I am told it will break the

boiler a hue passes obllquely, contract
ing from a circular chamber forming
the frebox to a small funnel in the
ton Of the boiler, which serves to carry
off the products Of combustion from
a spirit lamp arranged to burn within
the firebox. The steam cylinder Of the
engine is mounted on the top of the
boiler and the lower part passes into
it and is surrounded by steam. The
piston rod passes upward and is at
tached to the end of a vibrating beam,
which passes to the front of the car
riage and is plvoted in an upright
pillar. The diameter of the piston Is
three-fourths inch. and the length of
its stroke is about;two inches. AS the

engineer, without the use of his hands
and even when his hands are held over
his head in compliance to their order,
he can surround the engine with a
curtain Of hot water so that the thieves
will be blinded and otherwise disabled
and forced to desist their further eff
forts to secure their plunder. This sys-
TEN is designed to protect in this man
ner, not only the entrances to the cab
of the engine, but also the steps and
other parts Of the tender and the plat
form Of the front car. This apparatus
may be thrown into operation from
either side Of the engineers cab in like
manner, thus placing this means Of
protection at the command Of the fire.
man as we'll rs the engineer.
The idea, which is the invention Of
George A, Copp, Of Chicago, ILL.,, calls
for a system Of piping connected with
the boiler, below the water line, and
carried around the engine and tender
and covering all the vulnerable points.
The pipes are supplied with spoon noz-
zles at frequent intervals and are man.
ipulated by three valves convenient to
the feet Of the engineer and fireman.
Each of the valves control a different
part Of the system in order that the
scalding water may be directed to that
part from which the advance is being
made. Thus one lever will cause a
curtain of hot water to fall around the
rear Of the cab, while another projects
streams around the front of the en-
gine and the third throws a steaming
jet over the tender to the platform Of
the first car of the train, which is gem
orally the express. car and the one
which the robbers would naturally at
tack at the outset of their operations.
If the engineer finds himself confront
ed from all directions, he can press
all three levers and Immediately sur
round the engine with an envelope of
hot water and steam.

TULLOCH ISSUES LETTER
His Communication to the Post

Alleges Favoritisni.

Washington. D. C.-S. W. Tulloch.
whose charges of corruption In the
Postofice Department brought from
Postmaster-G General Payne q demand
for specifications in writing, made pub
lie copy of the statement he hac
filed at the Postof1ice Department.
He cites cases to show how he early
gained the ill will Of the then First
Assistant Postmaster-General Heath
for alleged refusal to pay from the
funds of the Washington office for Ger
tain supplies for G. w. Beavers and
others in the department.
He charges that about this time an
order was issued by the First Assist.
ant Postma ster-G General directing let
ter carriers to secure a blanket bond
in a single recognized company. A pro.
test arose. The postmaster consulted
with the Chief of the Salary and Al.
lowance Division, who Informed him
that Senator Platt, Of New York, would
appreciate the fact If he would select
the Senator's company. The order was
finally modified to permit bonding IN
any company.
Several years ago residents Of Wash.
ington received a letter from the post
master directing their attention to an
expensive house to house collection
box. It received and distributed mall.
It was the property Of an individual
company. The agent had the run OF
the department. Finally, Tulloch de-
clares, an order was issued by the First
Assistant Postmaster-General directing
the carriers to turn over to this agent
their route books.
There was then sent out IN official
communication bearing the heading of
the local Office, seemingly requiring,
under the approval Of the Postoft1ce
Department, and over the facsimile
signature of the postmaster, the pur-
chase and use Of the box. He says the
postmaster never saw the letter and
had no connection with the scheme,
and that though he protested no action
was taken.
He charges that in November, 1897,
First Assistant Heath appointed Oliver
II. Smith, of Muncie, Ind. an intimate
friend. a laborer at $500 per annum.
and allowed him So day for carfare
and incidental expenses.
December Is he detailed Mr.. Smith
to assist in repairing letter boxes at
50 day 'and dated his appointment
back to take effect at the same time
as the appointment as laborer. Mr..
Tulloch said that MI. Smith drew these
two salaries, but spent his time in read.

The Science of Forestry.

With view to preserving and restoring
the forests of the country much attention
is now being given to spreading scienrihc
information on the subject through educa-
tional centres. There are three higher
schools of forestry now in operation in the
United States-at Yale University at Cor
nell University and at Bhtmore, n. e.
The science of forestry is also taught IN
about forty other educational establish
ments scattered through the States. The
present forest area of this country consists
Of about 700, 900 acres, but it is estimated
that the stand of timber is only one-tenth
as great as it would be if the forests wero
