Rabbi StEmund Frey Claims He Has
Car That Will Travel Over 200
Miles an Hour,

Rabbi Sigmund Frey, of Wabash,
Ind, who has proposed to the post
master general to transmit postal
matter to Europe in two days, was
invited to explain his invention, but
beyond a few hints declined to go
into details until he received advices
from Washington.
II Nave" he said, made the offer,
but supposed that my attorney alone
knew of it. 1t would interfere with
my plans were l to state just how
l purpose to achieve the results, but
my scheme is feasible.
II have been in conference with a
celebrated electrician, working out
my ideas, and have progressed to
a point where | may put it to prac-
teal test. Electricity will be the
motive power and the vehicle will be
car, which, with safety. may travel
over sea and land at a speed of from
200 to 300 miles an hour.
If the government sees fit to make
conditional contract with me l ex-
pect to demonstrate the success of
my invention at an early date.
II am initiated that the matter has
gotten into the newspapers, but I
hope to take the work up in earnest
with the post Office department. In
til the contract is made l must refuse
to particularize."

CAN'T SECURE CHEAP POSTAGE
by New Ruling of Post ONCE Re-
turned Copies of q Paper Are
shut Out from Pound Rates,

Under the old regulations it was
possible for a newsdealer to send
back unsold copies of second-class
paper to another newsdealer at the
pound rate. This privilege was not
extended to the office of publications,
as the regulations were drafted, and
it was supposed to have been made
in the interest of the large news
companies, which in that way could
control considerable circulation of
the newspapers because they could
receive back unsold copies from their
agents at the pound rate, while the
publishers would have 10 pay four
times as much.
There has been feeling in con-
gress that this application of pound
rates to the return of unsold copies,
either to news agents or to publish
ers, was a perversion of the original
law, which was intended to keep
down the price to actual subscribers
and was not meant to reduce the ex-
penses of the Office of publication.
The order issued by the postmaster
general recently prevents the return
of unsold copies at the rate of one
per cent. per pound. They will have
to pay the regular rate of one cent
for four ounces, the same as ordi-
nary newspapers and periodicals
mailed by individuals. This prohibit
ton as to the unsold copies applies
both to the news agents and the pub
lishers

: OOGES' PALACE IN PERIL.
Historic Edihce In Venice Threat-
ened BY the Waters Of the
Adrlatic.

Recent cablegrams from Venice an
nounce that the historic city is in
immediate danger of being engulfed
by the waters of the Adriatic. For
some days a conference has been in
progress attended by the highest en-
gineering authorities of Italy, who
are endeavoring to formulate some
plan by which the beautiful city can
be protected from the sea. The men,
bers agree that the danger is press
ing in the extreme.
The experts have decided that the
palace of the doges is in extreme
peril. The majestic structure faces
the lagoon and nothing but the low
esplanade called the Riva degli Schi-
avoni intervenes between it and the
waters of the sea, which at high
tide during the stormy season cover
the promenade and inundate the low
err floor of the palace. Gradually the
stout foundations of the Majestic edi-
fee have been undermined until now
there is cause for the gravest appre-
hension as to their stability.
The "Palazzo Ducale" was first
built in $50. This structure, the
scene of so many stirring events in
Venetian history, was burned in 1419.
The palace was rebuilt under Mo-
cenigo and Foscari. in "restored"
form it still stands. "The first ham
mer stroke upon the old palace of
Ziani," says Ruskin, twas the first
act of the period properly called the
Renaissance 1t was the knell Of
the architecture of Venice-and of
Venice itself"

Gum Chewing in London.

and says: "The question has been
raised whether there is any reason for
supposlng that the practice OF gum
chewing, SO prevalent in the United
States. is on the increase in this coun-
try. We have made some inquiries and
have ascertained that many Young
women-students, actresses and others
appear to have acquired the disgust
ing habit, and are inveterate chewers.
we have examined specimens of chew
ing gum obtained from various fashion
able sweet shops in London, and find
as rule that it consists of rubber fla-
