Mail Clerks Complain.

The railway postal clerks running
between Reno an Ogden have made
complaint that they are being over
worked and the matter has been
taken up by the department, which is
trying to secure more men to handle
the mail between the two points,
which has greatly increased in quanti-
" IN the last two months. The clerks
say that they are entitled to a day of
rest for every working day. That is,
II they work two days, they are en-.
'i.ied to two days rest, but instead
oi thls arrangement they claim that
'ney are working two-thirds of the
.me. This does not not give them
enough time, they say, for rest and for
'he studying of schedules which is re-
qu'red of them by the department.
Inc clerks make round trip between
neno and Ogden, 1880 miles, every
'iree days, amounting to 10,soO

THE DISPERSAL OF ANIMALS,
How Chance Agencies Convey stray

The manner in which animals may
be conveyed from one area or region

subject of much interest in the eyes of
naturalists. The same opinion may be
expressed of the dispersal of plants,
SAYS the London Chronicle. Darwin

how such agencies serve To widen the

marine survey gives ease in point.
A female leopard was brought down
the Moulmein river and came aboard
cargo steamer. Then she swan to
land and was thereafter dispatched.
Snakes were also found on the floats
of the paddlewheels of the surveying
steamer, having been carried down by

new territory thus implies the extend

may call chance may influence the ex-

The drug clerk reached into the
ease and drew out cake OF scented

smiled approval and the two went
