A STICKS WIDE TRAVELS.
Much Stamped Souvenir That Has Con
100000 Miles


A mailing stick that has probably
Travelled through American mails for &
/ hundred thousand miles or more, goiDg
to and fro between Washington and va
rlous internal revenue offices. is in the
} posses sion of Collector Chamberlain
waiting to start on another trip to the
national capital. 1t is decorated nearly
all over with the stamps of revenue col
, lectOrs from Honolulu to Brooklyn The
stick IS used to wrap monthly reports
around before they are mailed and the
collectors have habit of putting Their
rubber stamps on it before remaiiing it.
The stick appears to have begun its
career in October, 1902, by a trip to the
collector at Cleveland, o. Since then il
has been here twice and has been one or
more times to Arkansas, Illinois. New
York, Texas, South Carolina, Indiana
Louisiana, Missouri, California, Tennes-
see, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan and Mas
sachusetts. After each trip there is a
return to Washington with a report.
The department at Washington re-
turns it with report. The various col
lect0rs report monthly, so that the sticks
are going all the time.
"There are many of them going to and
fro all the time" said Collector Cham
berlain, land when they get all covered
over some one is likely to hold on to
them as souvenirs. l suppose this one
has gone hundred thousand miles or
more in the last few years. 1t will
start to Washington again soon."-Ha-

How to See the Wind.

Take a polished metal surface Of
two feet or more and with a straight
edge. A large handsaw will answer
the purpose. Take a windy day on
which to make the experiment, pay
ing no attention to atmospheric
conditions, for such an experiment
can be as successfully made on a
clear day as it can on cloudy one,
and the results will be equally good
in summer and winter. The only
thing you need to look out for is
that you do not attempt to "see the
wind" on a rainy or murky day, as
conditions are then very unfavora-
bic. When everything is in readi-
ness, hold the metallic surface at
right angles to the direction Of the
wind e., if the wind is in the
north hold the metal east and west,
but instead of holding it vertical
incline it about II degrees to the
horizon. When this has been done
sight carefully along the edge of a
sharply defined object for some mo-
ments and you will see the wind
pouring over in graceful curves al
most like water.
