Commander Fletcher Before Senate
Naval Committee.

Washington, March 4.-Commander
F. F. Fletcher, a naval expert on. the
subject Of turret construction and
particularly on the subject of ammu-
nillon hoists, appeared before the SEN
ate committee on naval affairs and
contradicted much of the testimony
given by Commander Sims.
1.-THE American device of a straight
hoist" he said, sis similar to five
sixths of all the hoists in use and
therefore are not the senseless expert
ments some critics have charged All
that is required to make them safe, he
thought, is to provide proper screens
between the guns and the handling
rooms. Under the present system, he
asserted, there is no danger whatever
to the powder magazines. He told of
the Missouri accident, where 700
pounds of powder burned in the han
ding room and a large quantity in
the open door of the magazine with
out any damage or much danger to
the airtight powder tanks.
"Of course, that is somewhat more
Of a chance than we like to take, how.
ever" he commented. He said that
there had been forty or fifty accidents
in the French and other foreign navies
where powder had burned in the han
ding rooms of ships without causing
explosions.
He agreed. with Admirals Converse,
Caps and Mason that the turrets can
be made safe, in accordance with late
designs, at a comparatively small cost.
Senator Perkins questioned Com
mander Fletcher about the statement
of Commander Sims that the Amer
lean navy at Santiago gave a poor
exhibition Of craftsmanship. The wit
ness said that from all records he had
ever seen or heard of no navy could
have done better shooting at that
time

Sowing Spring Cats.

As a rule we much prefer to SOW
oats in the fall. but owing to the con
tinued rains very few farmers succeed
ed in planting a sufficient area, and
many have failed to SOW any. Now oats
are one of the most profitable crops
we can grow, especially when follow
ed by peas sown for hay. Owing to
the depressed times, the high value Of
foodstuf and the probability Of cheap
er cotton next fall it behooves the
farmers to SOW a large area in spring
oats. Put them in as early as posi-

Qriuin of thu Postal Sustain,

The wonderful postal system, which
has reached out until II includes every
country Oh the face of the earth. had
Its beginning In the mind OF an ingen
lous Frenchman.
In 1868, early In the reign of Louis
XIV, NJ. de Nelayer established IA pri-
vate penny post. Boxes were set up at
the street corners for the reception Of
letters, and offices were opened in va
rious quarters OF Paris. Collections
We're made once Il day from the street
boxes, followed many hours later by u
single delivery, and thus the first post
office In the world was established.
NJ. de VeIayer was SO greatly encour-
aged by the success of his enterprise
that IN order to develop 1t still further
he printed certain forms of bilicts or
notes which We're intended TO cover all
the ordinary requirements Of business
In great towns These forms contained
blanks which were intended to be filed
up by the pen with such special matter
AS might be necessary to complete the
writer's object. The idea at once be-
came popular, and the printed forms
accompanied the expansion of the post
al service throughout the larger cities
o: France, and It was many years be
fore they fell into disuse.

Should find Its fruitage In grim

And maybe here's II seed of thought
To flower forth In bliss.
