Though it seems to be a settled idea
in some minds that the government
loses on second-class matter, we are
inclined to believe it is all a mistake.
And does second. class matter really
cost eight and two-third cents per
pound?
Let us make inquiry: In 1901 the
total weight of second-class matter was
4a9,444,573 pounds, and the deficit
was $3,923,7274 S; by 1909 the total
weight had increased 294,r6I,297
pounds. Now if this increased weight
had cost eight and two-thirds cents per
pound, the deficit should have been
$28,435,5oI.o6, but it was only ST.
479,77o.47. Now we have high au-
thority for the statement that the rural
delivery system involved loss of
S28,ooo,ooo. 1t will not do to charge
the loss against second-class matter
and against free delivery too. If there
really was loss Of $28,ooo,ooo on
rural delivery then there was no loss at
all, but gain Of $ro,52o,2z9 on
second-class matter.
Again, the total weight in 1907 was
7Ia,94s,I76 pounds; in 1903 it had
fallen to 6o4,86s,884, a matter of
$I8,o79,292 pounds; yet the deficit
was Slo,2Io,242.s2 greater than In
1908. This is ascribed to an increase
of salaries, chiefly for rural carriers, but
even allowing for that there was an in
crease of deficit, while I8,o79,292
pounds were shut out of the mails.
Then we have the testimony of the
Postal Commission to the effect "that
within the radius of average newspaper
circulation and possibly within the rad
ius Of average for periodical circulation
for bulk subscription service, the rate
of one cent pound is approximately
adequate compensation
In Canada the postage rate is only
one-quarter of a cent a pound, recently
reduced from half cent, and second
class matter goes free within radius of
forty miles, recently increased from
twenty miles. The Dominion is wide
ly extended and sparsely settled, yet
the past year shows a surplus for the
postal service of $293,7oo. From the
above evidence | think we will have to
conclude that second class matter does
not cost eight and two.thirds cents per
pound 1t can be demonstrated in
other ways, but this seems scarcely
necessary
For our part we have not the slight
est doubt that if all seeond-class mat
ter was Withdrawn from the mails, and
not distributed in some other way, the
deficits would be double what they are
now. Intelligence and advertisements
are the chief producers Of postal rev.
enues.

AN ODD EXPERIMENT.

Il Explains How Cyclones Drive straws
Through Tree Trunks.
If a needle is showed into cork TN
til just the tip end shows on the oppo-
site side and the needle is then broken
off SO that the upper end is flush with
or hidden under the top surface on the
cork an interesting thing may be
shown, known as the increase of pres
sures. IL this cork be now placed
needle point down on copper cent or
other small coin light blow on top Of
the cork. with hammer will drive the
needle through the copper. The expla-
nation is as follows:
Everything has It's limits of resist
ance, and we may define this In terms
to the square inch that will overcome
It, Take ten pound weight and place
1t on q surface of two square inches:
the pressure is evidently five pounds
to the square inch. Now take away
one Of the square inches, and there is
just as evidently pressure Of ten
pounds to the square inch. Decrease
this surface to the dimensions of q
needle point and put five pound
blow on the needle head. The pres
sure TO the square inch at the point is
tremendous. So, Of course, 1t can be
forced through almost anything, pro-
vided the needle Is kept from break
ing. For this purpose the cork is sup
Piled which keeps the needle from
starting to bend. having for this pur-
pose what might be called an infinite
ly inclined plane or straight line.
This phenomenon explains several
things of frequent occurrence. Cy-
clones sometimes drive straws through
trees three and four feet thick. The
compressed air round the straw keeps
it from bending. and the enormous
force driving 1t forces 1t through.
OF course in the case Of the needle
and, in fact. any pointed instrument
gradually getting larger from the point
the advantage of the inclined plane Is
made use Of in continuing the motion.
AS 1t takes much less force to roll a
barrel up an inclined plank into door
than to lift IT directly from the ground
to the door. so we can separate two
things or two parts Of the same thing
easier with pointed instrument
(which is the same thing as a round
wedge, than with an instrument of the
same size all the way.-St Louis Re-
