There are 10 sets of belt cOnveyers and

In the Money-Order Division the
clerks who issue the orders to the pub

trap door, one for each clerk, which is
held shut by spring. The moment a
money order is issued the duplicate is
dropped through this door into q con-

The Chicago Post Office Building is
the finest in the country. It was II
years in construction. In addition to
the several floors devoted to postal busi-

are provided for, including the United
States Courts. There are $50, 900 square
feet Of floor space, or about Is acres;

for handling the mail cost $250,0OO.

The engine is blowing off steam, all
the passengers are on board, the con-
ductor stands watch in hand, and even
as he gives the signal and steps upon
the slowly-moving train, one more last

The Pneumatic Tubes.
The pneumatic-tube system includes
six trunk lines with nearly 90 miles of
pipe. The nominal diameter of the in
side of the pipe is eight inches. The
tube is of cast iron, with bell and spigot
joints. which are made tight in the
same way as the ordinary water mains;
| that is, with lead calked into the bell.
The pipe, as a rule, follows the street,
and the depth depends largely on the
local condition, from two to 10 feet.
Ii crosses the Chicago River in two
places. The air pressure varies with
the load carried and the length of the
line, and is direct pressure, from six to
IL pounds. There are four sets of COM
preSSors operated by steam-engineS in
the basement of the Federal Building.

Did He Find Out.
(Boston Transcript.)

One of the Missouri Representatives
in Washington who did some campaign
ing with Folk during the contest of a
year ago tells a story illustrative of the
danger of the rhetorical question.
At small town where Folk was
billed to speak portly man named
Sidd0ns had been scheduled to act a.
presiding officer He felt the impor-
lance and dignity OF the occasion keen
ly, but without knowing very much to
say. In opening he rambled on about
National issues and the past glories OF
the Democratic Party, till finally he
reached the State situation, which he
promptly declared was OF overwhelm-
ing importance to the people of Mis-
souri, To work up a climax he began:
Il will ask you this question: Who
is this man that has been named for the
Governorship" / say, Who is Joseph

What Liquozone Is.

The virtues of LiquoZone are de-
rived solely from gases, by process
requiring large apparatus, and from s
to IA days time. No alcohol, no mar
cotics are in it. Chemists of the high
est class direct the making. The re-
suit is to obtain from these harmless
gases Il powerful tonic-germicide.
The great value Of LiquoZone lies i'm
the fact that it is deadly to germs. yet
harmless to you. Germs are of veget-
able origin; and this gas-made product,
when absorbed by them, stops their ac-
tiyities. We publish an offer of $1,000
for a disease germ that it cannot kill.
But to the body Liquozone is eXhilarat-
ing, vitalizing, purifying. 1t is helpful
in the extreme.
