Mail bv Motorcycle,

Washington, Sept. lift test now
being made here proves to the salts
faction of the postoffice department
that motorcycle collection Of mail Is
faster and more economical than the
use of horses and motorcars those ma
chimes will most likely displace the
old system in every city in the United
States. One machine is being used in
the experiment here. Every point ell
Their for or against is being studied.
The machine, which is the only one
owned by the department, has been in
operation here for some time.
Assistant Postmaster Robinson be-
lieves the motorcycle will be a sue
cess both from a point of speed and
economy. The department can only
recommend the displacing of horses by
motorcycles. 1t has no authority or
appropriat ton to make the purchases
At the present time thirty-four
horses are used in the collection of
mail in Washington. The government
allows $500 yearly for the use of horse
and cart. Letter carriers who would
own the machines would find the cost
of the motorcycle to be approximately
the same as the cost of a good horse.
The cost of upkeep would be much
less.

Eiohtino the Hookwornn.

Lexington. Ky, Sept. 9.-The eyes of
the medical fraternity in Kentucky
have been centered on Knox county for
the past two months, where the initial
step in Kidding Kentucky of the hook
worm maady started with the opening
of ten free dispensaries for examina
ton and treatment. The dispensaries
are under the supervision Of DR.. j. n.
Mccormick. president of the Kentucky
health board, and DR.. J. S. Lock. one
of the state sanitary inspectors.
Five hundred cases were reported on
the second day.
The campaign to free Knox county
of the parasite has been pushed vigor-
ously. SchoolhouseS all over the coun-
ty were the meeting places. and the
workers went into the mining towns.
This county was the first selected for
the work because of the cooperation of
the county officials. who bore part Of
the expense. The Rockefeller sanitary
commission and the state board of
health worked with them.

Boston, Sept 9.--The American Game
Protective and Propagation association
is founding farm for the breeding of
wild ducks, quail, ruffed grouse. pleas
ants and other birds. The association
has leased 5000 acres about forty miles
southeast of this city. The land ac-
CURED has already been in use as
game preserve. and there are many
quail and grouse on it.
AT one time, says bulletin issued
by the association, 1.-The ponds III this
section afforded some of the best duck
and grouse shooting in New England.
They lie directly in the line of flight OF
these migrants. which. since restrlc-
tons have been placed on shooting
them, have been alighting there in in
creased numbers on their nOrthward
and southwark journeys. Many wild
fowl breed there, and the association
plans to increase the number by af-
fording them unusual advantages in
the way of food. The breeding Of wild
ducks will be the initial work in propa-
CATION.
ut is quite likely that the association
will procure an expert gamekeeper
from Scotland to take charge Of rear
ing uplands birds The foreign game
keepers in this country have been gen
orally very successful. Undoubtedly
they will teach their profession to
Americans and will thus start line
of gamekeepers in this country"

and of sharing in over $2,OOO,OOO of
graft wrung from gamblers.
Strong political influences brought to
bear on Mr.. Whitman to stop his activ-

whom are notorious gangsters, have
been of no avail. He will go as far as
he can to establish guilt, no matter
how high the standing or position of
those concerned in the daring crime.
MI Whitman, who is prominently
mentioned as a candidate for governor
this fall on the Republican ticket, has
had an active career as a public officer.
He was assistant corporation counsel,
city magistrate and judge of the court
of general sessions.
Born in Connecticut in 1865 he grad

Park Seats to Make Money.

San Jose, Cal, is trying in it's park
a bench devised by E. w. Allen for
use in connection with the free seats.
1t is a swinging seat so arranged that
until a nickel is deposited in slot,
the back is tilted forward and the seat
downward, so that it can not be used.
A coin releases it, however, and pro
vides rocking seat for two persons.
AS soon as they leave the seat swings
back to its former position, and re-
quires another nickel to unlock it. In
sunny places the bench is placed I'M
der canopy. The inventor believes
that on Sundays and other times,
when there are unusual crowds in the
park, many people will be willing to
spend nickel for comfortable seat
for their exclusive use.-The Survey.
