TO STUDY OLD MORSE ANCHOR.
Relic of Vikings Found in Minnesota To Be
Sent to Smithsonian Institution.

Crookston. Mimi. June 2s-Photographs have
been taken of the ancient Morse anchor found on
the state experimental farm and copies of these il
announced to-day. will be sent to the Swedish
and Norwegian governments. in the hope of as
certaiuins the historical value of the discoy
cry.
The anchor itself will be sent either TO the Smith
sonion Institution a similar institution, and ef-
forts will be made 10 connect il with the supposed
visit OF the NOrsemen to the Continent of North
America centuries before the discovery by Column
bus According TO tradition. Le4f Erickson left a
party OF sixty men when he touched on the North
American coast, and IL is possible that this anchor
is relic of that little band of whom nothing was
heard afterward.
The anchor is light. Weighing not more than
thirty pounds 1t consists of a rather heavy cvlin-
drical centrepiece and from sockets on either side
prongs project the prongs swinging on iron pins
through the centre of the cylinder
From the nature OF the stratum of CLAW in which
the anchor was found, it Is certain that the earth
had not been disturbed for centuries as the CLAW
was not mixed with the least particle OF black
dirt The depth at which the anchor was found
and the fact that il imbedded in solid clay
probably account for it's good state of preserva-
ton
Efforts are being made to discover other evil
denceS of the Norsemen's presence in this part OF
the country.

Sir: The picture of smoking factory chimney
which you print this morning reminds Of
similar nuisance which noticed last evening while
on Fulton ferryboat. Just. before started
ILoLh II Manhattan huge tug came slowly up the
Easl RIVER opposite the slip. After we pushed out
INTO the stream the tug passed under the Brook
Iyh BRIDGE and soon afterward disappeared from
view around bend in the river. From the stack
ing density. 1t was visible for at least five min
utes after first coming into view from the ferry
ooat but for how long q time before that IL had
existed 1 cannot say.
Outrages like this were at one time sensibly
checked on the East River, but OF late they have
required with dsgracefuI frequency They
bad enough at any time Of year, but the effects
especially vexatious in summer. In hot weather
the windows Of dwellings and offices left open,
ana In this way thousands of homes and places Of
business close to the river invaded. Personal
clothing, window curtains, table covers and other
articles of and value indoors are thus soiled.
and even greater harm is done to the apparel OF
passengers on the ferryboats and bridge cars.
Since the authorities have not been able TO sup
press this evil public spirited citizens may yet de-
eide to take the matter into their own hands and
adopt more energetic measures than have hitherto
been deemed advisable. Something has been ac-
complished by the organization Of society whose
function Is TO watch for violations of the law and
to report them. 1t is easier to keep tab on
factories, however, than steam tugs. Without
q suitable vehicle the latter cannot always be
Identified, and the owners Of the tugs TO take
advantage of that fact. 1 venture to propose,
therefore more radical step than any taken yet,

THIRST TORTURED HORSES.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. The sufferngs cruelty imposed upon
city work horses. tortured with thirst during the
torrd season. distressing TO witness. With one
OF the most important humane societies in the
world. why IS this inexcusabe neglect permitted? !?
The steamjug. suffering animals that traverse IN
uuremittiug toll our scorched streets make ap-
peal that should not pass UNDECIDED.
The Boston society has provided not only its
city with this all urgent necessity, but has
offered TO assist financially smaller towns in the
state TO follow It's humane example.
Summer Is upon in dead earnest and the thirst
tortured horses OF New York look in vain TO the
society pledged to their protection for relief and
refreshment Excuse has been offered that the
delay IL caused by the unwilngness OF the Water
Commission authorities.
II is crying shame that July weather should
be upon and that this matter should be over
looked and neglected The persistent letters pub
shed in the daily press last season finally reused
the society TO action and now twelvcmonth has
elapsed-the society has had twelve months to pro
vide water either IN permanent fountains in
temporary tubs and pals but the city IS arid
and dry as the

THE FIRST POSTAL CARS.
Those to Whom Credit for the idea Belongs

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir Referring to the subject of your recent arti-
Gle on rival claims to the establishment of the first
postal cars, doubtless a thousand had the idea.
as In later years equally large number could
see the advantages Of a sea postoffice long before
that service instituted. But the first man TO
put the idea into practical operation. TO put II on
wheels. was Colonel George r. Armstrong. In a
year or two. possibly three, the operation of the
service grew far beyond Colonel Armstrong and
his Eastern representative, Harrison Park the
former being also in poor health. Then came to
the front George 5. Bangs, Of Illinois, likewise
man of sterling character large ideas. and with
the most optimistic Views of the future of his
country and the capacity OF its men it has ever
been the good fortune OF the writer meet. To
him more than TO any other is due the rapid
early development Of what is now known the
Railway Mail Service. There has been nothing
added 10 1t In the last twenty years; It has been
simply natural and scarcely agoidable growth on
the plans put into practical operation by George 5.
Bangs.
The writer in the Railway Mail Service in
those early days and knew the mentioned
well. 50 far as he knows. there are only two men
living who can give details of the early years OF
the service from the point OF view Of an advanta-
geous executive official position. Those two are
