OBSCENE POSTAL
WILL CAUSE
TROUBLE
Post Office Department VIII.
Vigorously Enforce Regula-
tons Barring Such Matter.
From The Mails.

The prevalence of the souvenir post
al card fad not only in the United
States, but in the countries of Europe,
has led to the sending OF much doubt
full matter through the United States
mails, and judging from the late action
of the department in several cities.
will be the cause of perhaps a fine of
considerable proportions or term in
jail.
1t seems that because of the great ex-
tent TO which III efad has grown people
have become careless, and, In many
instances, pictures or reading matter
which Is nothing If not obscene have
been mailed, no name being signed
and the sender relying on the diff
Guilty of obtaining direct evidence in
such case to protect him from the
consequences. Lately the department
at Washington has taken particular
notice of the matter, and issued strict
instructions to postmasters througout
the country to prevent the transmits
sion of such mater and where possible
to secure evidence against the sender.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Postmaster Cassidy said that every eff
fort is being made to carry out the
instructions, and as the offence is a
serious one under the postal laws. any
one prompted to use such cards had
better refrain from doing so, if not for
fear of punishment, at least from com
mon decency.
The records of the local office for
the past quarter showed a decided in
crease over the same period of year
ago-in fact an advancement of Sc pei
cent in the business.
Another matter which is engaging
the attention of the department is the
using of boxes by more than one per
son. when the users, other than the
one paying the rent, are not entitled
to such use. All of these cases will
be looked into and the rules enforced

CHICAGO, Nov. 29,-Upon recommends

Mayor Busse will take steps today to sup
press a vicious form of burlesque currency
that Is being circulated In initiation of
clearinghouse checks. A number of
frauds have been perpetrated with the
spurious checks, and 1t Is the intention OF
the officials not only to put a stop to their
circulation, but to prosecute persons who
have used them for swindling purposes.
Advertisements of a weekly paper are
printed on the back of some of the fake

THE SPIDERS AIRSHIP.
A Curious Phenomenon ms It's Inter-
esting Explanation.

When the British war balloon Multi
was sailing high over Lon
don the navigators in the car found
the air filled with spiders. This phenon-
enon is explained very simply. In early
autumn the spider families separate.
Hundreds of thousands of infantile
spiders on a warm sunny morning

OF the leaves and project slender silken
threads from the spinnerets at the
ends OF their bodies. Before very long

heated. ascends, and carries up the
silken threads with 1t. Still the little
creatures hold on and pour out silk
till each has some eight or ten feet of
line rising almost perp~endicularly into
the air above it.
At last they let 70 and rise into the
air themselves, each at the extremity
OF It's own thread. In this way they are
carried upward, perhaps for many
hundreds of feet, till at last they meet
a current of air moving slowly along.
and by this they are carried often for
many miles, while they can always
descend at will by the simple expedient
OF rolling up their supporting threads.
On a warm autumn morning the air
is often filled with these baby spiders.

TELEGRAPHERS REDUCED?
Returned Strikers Say They Get Less
Than Substitutes.

NEW YORK Nov. 29.-The photographers
who returned to work and were taken
hack when the strike was declared off
complained yesterday at the office of local
16s of the Commercial Te%legraphers
Union. Sc Pine street, that while the
strlkebreakers are getting the highest
wage ever paid. the pay of the returned
strikers has been reduced from SIS and
81 a week to SIG a week or less.
They say also that the most important
work Is not being done by the strike
breakers. but by returned strikers. 1t Is
admitted. however, that the strikers lost
their strike and are not in a position to
make terms or pick and choose In the
matter of work.
The operators in the brokers' offices.
who did not go on strike, reported that in
spite of this wholesale reductions of their
wages are being made. They said that
their wages a been reduced, in many
cases from s5 to SOS a week and from $50
to $50 and $22 a week, though they ex-
pected consideration from the fact that
the Wall Street chapel of the union could
not be induced to declare a general SYM
pathy strike.

PAYING VEIN OF COAL
FOUND BY READING co.
Discovered in Lykens valley-Expect to
Unearth Rich Red Ash Supply
Sho&.

SHENANDOAH. Pa, Nov. 29.-ln or
der to tap all of the underlying veins
of anthracite coal in the Shenandoah
Valley the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company is digging a tunnel
from Locust Mountains to Turkey Run
colliery. at a cost of 100000. A num-
Ser of paying veins have been discov-
cred. and yesterday the workmen
struck the famous Lykens Valley vein.
This is the first time this rich vein
has been encountered north OF Broad
Mountain. 1t was located at the ex-
trnordinary depth of 1880 feet.
This means millions of tons of coa
for the Reading Company. The vein
is only three feet thick but the engi-
neers are confident that a ff~teen-foot
vein of rich red-ash coal. as clean as
any that Is mined, will be encountered
shortly. Some years ago the late
Henry Peasants attempted to discover
this Lykens vein in the Pottsville dis
trict, when he sunk the Mount Pleas
ant shaft, but after going to a great
depth with DOR results and enormous
expense he abandoned the effort. The
disappointment is said to have sent
him to an early grave.

CURRENCY SITUATION
NEARING NORMAL POINT.
vanderlip Says Confidence Is Return
ing-Strongly Favors a
Central Bank.

CHICAGO. Nov. 29.-Frank A. vapder-
lip, vice-president of the National City
Bank, New York, who is visiting his
mother here. predicted that the currency
situation will get back to normal as soon
as the December pay-rolls are met. He
said:
Interior banks are undoubtedly
boarding money. h Is, they are
running their reserves up to an alb
normal point. There is an entirely ade-
quate supply of currency at the present
time. All that is needed to unlock the
currency situation is more confidence,
and there is evidence of a returning
of that confidence. Some currency is
being shipped to New York from interior
points. In my opinion, a few lays more
will end the premium on currency.
There Is a fair probability of cur
rency legislation at the coming session
of Congress. Sentiment on the subject
Of currency legislation is still uncrys-
tallized In New York. For my part,
! believe the ideal solution lies in the
direction of a central bank that will
have the power to Issue and take on
the fiscal duties of the. treasury de-
partment. The effectiveness of cooper
alton through the clearing houses dur
Ing the present crisis has emphasized
the important part clearing houses may
be made to play In our financial system.
IT is possible the legislation now will
give enlarged powers to he treasury
to be used In conjunction with the clear
ing houses"
