can be spanned by seven bridges of
about 1900 feet each. He states the
channels between the islands are of
immense depth, with tides running
from four to nine miles an hour, and
he reports that all difficulties of the
work would be further increased by the
fact that the islands are very rocky
and would prove most difficult places
for railway laying. A number of tun-
nels would be required, while the bridge
would have to be strung $50 feet above
the sea. The concensus of opinion is
in favor of the construction Of the
bridge.

Head Of Bureau Explains Steps
to Take.
MUST FILE PETITIONS FoRl. SERVICE
INQUIRIES ARE MADE THROUGH
PosTMAsTERs IN REGARD TO
TO THE sIcNERs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The an
nual report of the fourth assistant post
master general, P. T. DeGraw. head of
the rural free delivery service, made
public recently, tells Of the extension
of the service and of the conditions
under which rural communities may
be served by carriers. He says:
1.-THE initial step in securing the in
auguration of rural delivery service is
the filing Of a petition for such SER
vice, inquiry is made through post
masters as to whether petitioners are
heads of families or householders act
uallp residing along the proposed route
of delivery, and if so, it is presumed
they have petitioned in good faith for
the service.
after a petition is accepted an in
spector visits the locality and if the
route to be travelled in the delivery
of mail. Favorable conditions are: The
roads to be traversed to be in good
condition, unobstructed by gates; no
unbridged creeks or streams not ford
able at all seasons of the year, and
possible patronage of 100 or more
families on each route Of "a or more
miles in length, or a proportionate
number Of families where it is neces-
sary to lay out routes less than the
standard length.
ITO insure a reasonable patronage
from it's Inauguration and almost pre-
clude the possibility of reducing the
frequency of delivery from daily to
tri-weekly or disseminating service be-
cause of lack of patronage, the rule
three-fourths of the families on each
route was adopted.
Persons desiring the benefits Of
service on a rural delivery route are
required to furnish and erect in a suit
able place accessible to the carrier, at
their own cost, boxes for the reception
of mail to be delivered or collected by
the carrier. All rural letter boxes must
conform to the specifications fixed by
the department.
about 26O styles of boxes manu-
featured for sale have been approved
which are sold at prices ranging from
so cents to 81 per box.
"Since January 1, 1906, increased
efforts have been made by road Off
Gals in various states to secure the
cooperation Of the postoffice depart
ment in the improvement of public
highways on which rural delivery SER
vice has been established. The method
of procedure is for the road officials to
send out to each rural carrier a blank
containing questions to be answered
by him in regard to the condition Of
the roads. POstmasters at rural deliv-
cry offices are directed to cooperate
with state and local road officials and
to instruct the rural carriers to fur
nish all the information called for"
In his statement on the work of the
dead letter department, Mr.. DeGraw
says:
unclaimed packages sold at auc-
ton and money taken from unclaimed
letters or found loose in the mails
yielded total revenue of $24,O83.43
during the year. Loose stamps to the
value of $1,221.21 were taken from the
mail boxes"

"the awesome breath of the Almigh-

terms, but this perpetual tragedy OF
a nation would not have occurred II
the Ludwigs and Ottos had left wine
and women alone; II they had gone
to bed at 10 o'clock at night and got
up to breakfast at s o'clock in the
morning, and worked all day like
honest men, instead of initiating the
emperors of Rome in the graifica-
ton of their depravei tastes and SEN
suous appetites. And they should
have done this, being aware that
there had been signs OF insanity
among their ancestors as long ago
as Frederick Christian, who reigned
in the earlier part of the eighteenth
century.
Otto. the present king, is so era
