TO say, Russian or even Finnish milk
is never thick at the best of times and
places.
But the run on the flower shops was
more serious and more costly. Flowers
in st. Petersburg are in demand main
Iy for the celebration of names days,
for funerals and to show appreciation of
the art of operate singers and actors,
and they are wanted most OF all for the
last-named purpose.
Flowers occasionally adorn dinner ia
bles-aIways those of members of the
diplomatic corps.
This winter flowers are unusually
scarce, owing to the frost, and posi-
bly, for that reason capricious song
stresses at the imperial and other op-
eras have taken it into their heads to
vie with each other precisely in the
number of fresh flower WreathS they
can show as presents from their adj
mirers. And so there is a dearth of
flowers. Prices went up by leaps and
bounds as they may have done during
the great tulip boom in Holland many
generations back. But, none the less,
the flower shops were literally cleared
out.
Some divas who were accustomed to
receive the nightly baskets of flowers
and bouquets had to do without any.
One wealthy admirer of a prima donna
offered $3.50 for just one basket of or
chids-and a mOderate-siZed basket IT
was, nor were the specimens rare. But
his money was not accepted. He had
been outbidden before he even had
priced the coveted blossoms.

COLLECT MAILS
DURING NIGHT
Mounted Men Will Gather Let
tiers Deposited After Even
ing Hours Close In.
LATE TRAINS ARE MADE
WILL AFFECT LARGE NUMBER
OF RESIDENTS.

One of the most important improve
ments in the postal service in Salt Lake
was the Inauguration las night OF a
system of night collection Of mails. Two
mounted men from the carrier depart
ment will make the rounds in large area
outside the business district between
and IL O'Clock in the evening. For this
service the government supplies the
horses from the appropriation.
The night collections will make it pos
stble and, indeed, convenient for people
10 get their mails off on the night trains
and on the early morning trains. The
most important mail trains leave at
night: The Oregon Short Line train leav-
ing this city at l1:45 o'clock carries mail
Tor Butte and the north, Portland and
the north Pacific coast points. The Salt
Lake route train leaving at 80 carries
mail for Los Angeles and the Pacific
coast. In the morning there Is an east
bound train on the Oregon Short Line
and Union Pacific that carries mail for
Omaha. Chicago and the east. In addi-
ton TO these trains there are trains that
serve the different localities that leave
Salt Lake early in the morning.
Heretofore the mail deposited In boxes
I'm the residence districts was not collect
ed after a certain hour on one day until
the carriers made their rounds the next
forenoon. Thus, II will be seen that the
saving In hours is really matter of first
Importance.
The district that Will be covered by
the mounted carriers embraces about III
blocks, which is quite an area when the
size of Salt Lake blocks is taken into
account The service will he operated IN
the district between Eleventh East and
Fifth West and from Second street and
Third avenue on the north to Seventh
South.
Postmaster Arthur L. Thomas made the
suggestion of the establishment of this
service TO the department some months
ago, and yesterday the authorization fOl
its Inauguration was received It was
promptly put into effect and the first
collections brought in hundreds of letters
which, had they not been assembled as
they were, would have remained in the
boxes until this forenoon.
Altogether the new system is expected
10 be of immense benefit to the patrons
of the postal service-and who is not 6
patron of the postal service?

Petty Crimes and Police Pointers

Hold-ups and robberies are fast increas-
ing In Salt Lake. John Gibbins, a far
mer from Layton, was attacked by high
waymen in an alley off Commercial street
early yesterday morning and robbed of 50
and gold watch. He reported the mat
ter to the police, but no arrests have been
made. This is the. second daring street
robbery that has leaked out in two days,
despite Chief of Police Pitts efforts to
suppress the news of such crimes.
Harry Joseph last night continued his
roundup of youngsters who defy the cur
few ordinance. He had a number of
young offenders at police headquarters
and after showing them the error of their
ways allowed them to go to their homes on
their promise TO keep off the streets at
night in the future. Mr.. Joseph, before
rounding up the boys, made a tour of the
city with Judge Gowans and the juvenile
court, to see if the curfew ordinance was
in working order.
John Layton. % years old, who calls
himself a salesman and says that he ar
rived here yesterday from Philadelphia
was arrested last night by Policeman
Burton and charged with attempting to
steal a hat from Crabbe's clothing store.

THE EXPERIMENT OF PROFESS
SOR FOUCAULT TO SHOW TIE
REVOLUTION OF THE EARTH.
The experiment first made by Pro-
fessor Foucault in 1851 may be easily
repeated. All that is necessary is an
iron ball of considerable weight at
tached by means of a fine wire 40 Or
80 feet long TO the ceiling OF convent
ent building. The longer the pendulum
the better will the experiment be
shown. The ball should hang Just clear
OF the floor, which should be covered
evenly with fine white sand, and nee
die fastened TO the under side IF the
ball should touch the sand. To start
the ball il should be drawn to one SIDE
by a silk thread fastened around its
equator and held in place until quies-
cent To release the ball by cutting
the thread would give ii an uneven mo-
ton, so the thread is severed by APP
plying the flame of candle After
the ball has been swinging a few Tnin-
utes 1t will be seen that the needle on
the bali is making successive circular
lines in the sand, thus demonstrating
that while the ball is suspended in
space the earth is turning under it.
