| Washington, Nov. 26.-The campaign
! for a parcels post has been renewed
and will be pressed in the hope OF get
ting a bill thru the mex, congress. A.
! a beginning. the advocates OF this ex-
tension OF the postal service are max
| ing an effort TO have the president rec
! ommend the system in his message e
congress.
| The situation IN regard TO the express
| service thruout the country has brough'
/ the matter OF parcels post to the front
again. For months there have beer
complaints against the high rates fol
express movements. They have reach.
ed the interstate commerce commission
from many parts of the country and
will ultimately result it is believed, in
an investigation Of the whole quest ion
of express service by the federal body
In the meantime the Postal Progress
League. which has for years pushed the
parcels post idea, is taking advantage
of the widespread satisfaction with
the express companies and is prepar-
ing 20 concentrate its efforts upon
the passage of bill this winter estab-
fishing the parcels post.
Gain . Strong Argument.
II is using the inconvenience
and loss resulting from the recent
strike Of the New York express en-
ploves 20 bring the value Of the par
cells post 10 the attention of the ship
pers ard thru them 10 the members OF
congress
A short time ago the railroad COM
missioners of the various states held a
conference in Washington with the
members OF the interstate commerce
commission One OF the important
matters which they discussed was the
growth OF the parcels post sentiment
This. they agreed. was the direct re-
suit Of high express rates and unsatis-
factory express service.
Pusiness men all over the country
have been receiving invitations for tie
past month TO Join the Postal Progress
Lea que and It Is stated that vast mum :
bers Of new mem bers are lending their
names and influence to the movement
for the new postal service.
viii Turn TO Democrats.
! Frederick c. Beach. president OF the
league, who is also editor OF Scientific
American Magazine. declares that the
first effort will be made TO secure the
pa ssage OF the parcels post bill thru
the republican congress this winter
Failing 20 secure recognition from the
republicans. he declares that the demo-
Gratis VIII be appealed TO in the next
con eress. for action.
The express companies will OF course
feht the passage OF parcels post bill
with all their resources. II is generally
agreed that such an institution as is
proposed in connection with the postal
service Will seriously cripple the busi-
ness OF the express companies. They
even declare that il they must compete
with the government IN the quick tran l.
si, Of small packages, they VIII race
bankruptcy.

Those who know Switzerland best
VIII be least astoniShed at the figures
which NJ. A. Danzat publishes in his
work on Switzerland, recently issued
In Paris, for since there is a hotel on
nearly every hilltop and scores round
every one Of the larger lakes 1t Is more
than credible that there are 1000 hotels
In the twenty-five cantons. In the
Grisons, the most sparsely inhabited
canton, In which even the larger towns
rarely have d population Of more than
1,500. there are no less than 35S hotels
and boarding houses, while the canton
Of Berne, which includes such favorite
places as InteSlaken, Thun and Grindel-
wRid. has more than 100. There are
$4,000 BEDS IN the 1000 hotels, but
these are BY no means Sufficient during

Aviator Cord and Wire.

The arrival Of the aeroplane has Civ
en>us a new industry, or rather a mod
incation OF an old one-namely. that
Of manufacturing aviator cord and
aviator wire. The ROeblings have de-
vised a special kind of wire aviator
cord to be used for stays on aero
planes. The cord consists Of a num-
Der Of fine wires OF great strength
stranded together. The strength Of
the different sizes runs approximately
from 1000 TO 2SoO pounds. For steer
ing gear a more flexible cord is pro-
vided, composed Of six strands Of sew
en- wires each, with a center Of either
cotton or wire. The aviator wire diff
fers from aviator cord in that It con-
sists OF a single wire instead Of a num-
Der Of wires twisted together. The
wire is made in twelve sizes, with a
breaking strength that varies from
1000 pounds TO 1T5.-Scientifc Ameri-
