THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT OF
NEWSPAPERS TO CARRIAGE
IN THE MAILS

The newspapers of the United
States should awaken, If they are not
already awake, to the SURPRISING i'm
portance of the question just now
before the Supreme Court of the
United States for a decision.
1t Is not from some burlesque
opera or from the mouth of some alb
surd juris-consult in that Wonder
land of topsy-turvy thought which
Alice visited that there comes the
amazing assertion of autocratic pow
er of limit the freedom of the press,
or to coerce its utterances, which is
contained in the following sentences:
I'VE submit that Congress has
the unrestrained power to say
what in its opinion is so hurt
full to the public welfare that
it should not pass through the
mails; and that it may enforce
that opinion without it's correct
ness being subject to judicial
review. 1t surely
may prescribe any conditions
concerning the mail matter it.
self, whether as to size, weight,
character of contents, purposes
for which sent, etc; and it may
likewise prescribe conditions
concerning the person deposit
ing it in the mall especially if
the conditions attached to the
sender bear some relation to
the thing sent. If
such views [those of a newspa-
per's ownersl are expressed in
the paper, Government can
doubtless exclude them, just as
Congress could now exclude all
papers advocating lotteries, pro-
hibition, anarchy or protective
tariff if a majority of Congress
thought such views against pub
lie policy"
This was the language of a high
law officer of the Federal Govern.

The First Amendment of the Con.

Needle IN a rtaystaoK,

"a bottle Of hay" was formerly
much used in Derbyshire, England,
and probably is SO still, to denote a
bundle of hay, which was taken from
rick to fodder cattle in field When
II was difficult to find anything that
had been lost, the farmer folk were
wont to say: "You may as we'll hunt
for it as for a needle in a bottle of
hay"
Sometimes the rope tied round the
hay had q piece Of wood with an eye
In 1t at one end. through which the
rope was passed to tie up the bundle,
and sharp point at the other end
and this piece of wood may have been
called needle; If 30, q needle of this
kind may have been referred to in
the proverbial saying.

From the days of antiquity II has
always been q problem unsolved how
to insure the secrecy of letters A
Frenchman named Phion claims, how
ever, to have discovered the real
method, which is as simple as the egg
of Columbus. The invention is thus
described: The envelope looks very
like an ordinary one, but the tongue
Is in kind of loop. prolonged SO us to
mt the gummed end of the upper right
hand corner, which is slit. The tongue
Is inserted, and further fixed by the
stamp struck over it The system is
simplicity itself, and, except for rip
ping open the envelope or tearing off
the stamp. 1t Is impossible to get at
the letter inside.

German publication. Die Welt der Technik, devoted to scientific matters and inventions, credits the discovery of the inkless printing process to an English inventor.
 In the course of some electrical ex- periments, 1t says, he accidentally pressed a coin, which had fallen on the table and was rolling of, against a metallic plate covered with a piece of paper, and at the same time against an insulated electric line. To his amazement he saw a sepia print of the coin impressed upon the paper. This happened about twelve years ago. Since then the inventor has fol- lowed up this observation, and has now developed process for printing without printing ink. He uses dry pa- per impregnated with certain chem icals, whose nature is not disclosed.
 In the process of printing the paper travels over a metal plate and the type is applied on the opposite side, a current of electricity passing through the paper. According to the particular metal used for the sub- stratum, and according to the mode of impregnation of the paper, a great variety of different colors can be pro duced, so that multi-color printing be- comes an easy matter.
