his reward the privilege of carrying

CHRISTMAS MAIL LOST

The Minneapolis Journal says:-
Much of the force OF early shopping
and early mating is to be lost be-
cause of the inability of the railway
mail service in distributing Christ
mas mail.
A startling example of the ineffi-
ceincy of the railway mail service,
according to members OF the service,
the department of the postal service
system upon which economy is be-
ing most rigidly enforced, was given
today. A member Of the railway
mail service working out of the Min
neapolis office, today said that sack
of mail originating west of James
town, N. D., for Wisconsin points,
was made on December II. 1t was
placed aboard train at jamestown,
sent to Chicago, but the force was
unable to route" the mail. From
Chicago, he said, it was sent back to
Hastings, Mimi, again to Chicago,
then back to Minneapolis and on
December "a, was again started from
Minneapolis toward Chicago.
There was some special delivery
letters in that sack,' said the rail-
way mail clerk, "but after seven days
of juggling, the service men being un-
able to touch any of it the whole
sack has been dumped and as we say
in the service is "lost." The natural
increase of business in two years has
been about Is or 20 per cent. The
increase, in help has been less than
/ per cent. We were swamped long
before the Christmas rush began.
This talk of economy may be all right
but it is being practiced at the ex-
pense of the public. Business mail
is being delayed

there is hardly doubt but that the

Minneapolis, Dec. 26.-Nels G. Mel
son, a we'll to do farmer Of Bismarck,
n: D., was robbed Of $4,000, all in
bials. of large denominations Saturday
afternoon in this city. The robbery
occurred between the folding revol-
wing doors of an Office building, and
was performed by men, strangers.
with whom Nelson had become ac-
quainted and whom he told of hav-
ing several thousand dollars, which
he desired to invest in good bonds
The strangers promised to help Mel
son make the investment, and show
ed him around the town, visiting sew
eral bars. ~
Nelson says the two men jammed
him between the revolving doors and
took his wallet containing the money
from his overcoat pocket. With this,
he says they pushed him back into
the building and ran down the
street.
Nelson spent Sunday and Monday
going over the downtown district with
detectives trying to locate the build
ing in which he was robbed. He
failed to recognize the place. That
Nelson drew the amounts he said he
did has been verified at the banks.
Nelson told the police tale of
marital troubles, which he said caus-
ed him to sell his farm and deposit
the money in Minneapolis banks.
Wishing to invest the money profita-
bly,, he says, he came to Minneapo-
lis and drew it out.

Ths announcement that good fueI
can be made out of the raw materia !
Of which the ancient Egyptians manu-
featured their paper may strike some
persons as odd An Anglo Germn IL
syndicate has just been formed to COM
press into briuuettes the rank gr"wtlls
of panyrus and other reeds. locally
known as sudd, which cover an area
Of $4,000 square miles on the upper
Nile and obstruct navigation.
The Sudan government has to main-
! tain a service OF dretlgers to keep chan.
nels open through the morass. and for
some 200 miles it is impossible to get
fuel of any kind, as the river channel
has no banks and the dredgers depend
for their coal supply on khartum.
Coal or coal .briquettes at Khartum
cost $1G.5O a ton. while wood is but lit
tie cheaper. The cost Of transport is
the great handicap to the employment
of any. other fuel, such as oil.
Now the obstructing material itself,
the sudd, is going to be cut, chopped
up and compressed into slabs on the
spot at the rate of fifty tons day.
The promoters declare that the sudd
fuel, being 35 or 40 per cent cheaper,
will almost Immediately replace coal
on the Nile steamers and the Egyptian
railroads. The heating value Of COM
pressed sudd is nearly two-thirds that
Of coal, while its density is about four
flfths.
Boiler tests with the new fuel have
been carried out at Magdeburg and
Merseburg and have given excellent
results. The experiments were watch
ed with interest by representatives Of
the British and German navy depart
ments, but whether sudd will adapt It.
self to navy requirements remains yet
to be seen.
