DEP A.RTMENT WANTS
To LOWER EXPENSE
Railway Terminal POstoffices Suggested
in Report: Recommends $4,000
for Aeroplane Service.

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 22.-The post
office department expects to decrease
expenditures for railway car service Oy
establishing railway terminal pOstotnces
and requiring a separation by routes OF
first and second class mails OF publish
ers. Is stated in the report OF second
assistant postmaster general Stewart.
Last wear. saws the report, large
amount of additional car space was re-
quired on mail trains because OF the
establishment of the parcel post system.
That the extension of the service neces-
STATED a considerable increase IN the
annual expenditure for car rentals IS
shown in the statement that from JAM
nary I to November % 1913. there was
a net increase of S451. $50. Stewart eN-
Dects. however. to reduce these eNpendI-
lures BY instituting the proposed
changes.
The number of all classes of domestic
mail routes was 12.776. the combined
length of which was 27S,568 miles
Considerable space in the report -
given to the discussion of handling mail
bv fast freight. Stewart saws that this
method of transportation has been gen
ersllY satisfactory to publishers, as IN
most cases it has been practicable to
overcome the slower movement in the
freight trains by advancing the date OF
delivery to the postoffice at the point
of origin.
Consideration is being given to The
question of additional compensation for
the TRANSFORMATION of the mails and a
report viii be made to congress by the
commission appointed to conduct the IN
quirv by or before March 4, 1914
SSuch experiments as heretofore have
been made in the carrying of mail by
aerOplanCs have been conducted without
expense to the government, although the
mails thus transported were entrusted
only to sworn carriers. The satisfae-
tory performance of the service has m
duced a recommendation by Stewart of
an appropriation of $4,000 for a regular
experimental aeroplane service.

Il EDINBURGH. the capital of Scotland,
II IS situated in a cold north wind,
- on the south side of the Firth OF
Forth. 1t has about 100000 people, and
has managed to get itself more talked
about in literature than almost any
other city of this size.
Edinburgh rambles over three great
hills. and has been built with great care
and GOOD taste. Even the railroads IN
Edinburgh are aesthetic. They have
made a valley into a great park, and
managed to make the CITY handsOmer
BY passing through it. All American
railroad presidents should be compelled
bv law to 90 to Edinburgh with q two
quart notebook.
Edinburgh's origin is lost in the Scotch
mists of antiquity. 1t contains some
very ancient features, including Inc
castle, the tenements in the old tow,
and a number of prehistoric CAB horses.
The tenements of Edinburgh are TIE
earliest known skyscrapers. they are
from six to nine stories high, built OF
brick and propped up with tlmbers,
broom handles, an dchair legs. Now and
then. one of these lands as they are
called, falls down, but few other I'M
provements in them have been made
for a generation.
Edinburgh Is so strongly lmpTegnated
with history that there are lew old
! buildings in which some person OF emil
nence did not die with his boots on,
| during some, persecution or other. Pres
{ byterianism was invented in Edinburgh
! bv John Knox. and for many years was
more unhealthy than cholera for those
: who caught it. Mary Queen of Scots
! was a popular resident Of Edinburgh,

The SearchEght
UNIQUE ELEVATOR TEST.


The most remarkably successful
elevator safety test on record was
made recently in the new WOolWorth
building, at Broadway and Park place.
New York, the highest building In the
world a car loaded with 1900 pounds
OF cast iron, apprOXimating the total
weight of the passenger capacity Of
the elevator car, was allowed 70 drop
from the fOrty-seVeuth floor TO the
bottom, a distance of 500 feet The
car landed on the ground floor with
scarcely q jar The best previous rec
ord for free drop in an elevator shaft
was 325 feet.
The car Shot through space at the
rate Of $50 feet per second, or two
miles a minute The lightning descent
panied by pillows Of dirt and dust
which were stirred up at each floor
until the top of the safety air cushions
were reached at the eleventh story.
The speed began to slacl1en at once,
diminishing thereafter with each
downward step, until it slid ever so
gently to the bottom floor. The same
car. with the same weight, was tried
in another shaft from the fifteenth
story. Because OF the shorter SaIerV
cushion in the second shaft, the de-
structiOn of the car was expected, but
the success of the first experiment was
repeated.
The ratio Of the length Of the safety
cushion or tube is governed by the
height of the elevator shaft, the ac-
cepted standard being four and one
quarter times the length Of the ele-
TatOr shaft The safety arrangement
is not wholly air eight because Of the
presence of doors at each floor OF the
tube, through which air escapes IN
slight quantity as the car hurues
downward.
