Would Abolish Stamps.

One of the most easily effected
economies in the postal service, not
only of Germany, but of any country,
would be the abolition Of the postage
stamp, the Neuste Nachrichten Of Mu-
mich points out. It recommends the
substitution of a franking machine for
the postage stamp, and remarks that
this change would save Germany near
ly $25,000,000 year.
The franking machine by q single
operation would not only imprint the
letter with a device indicating that the
postal charges had been prepaid, but
would also put on the postmark and
obviate the necessity Of using the can
ceiling machine. This method is al
ready used in Bavaria and in New Zea-
land, while the German field post has
taught the people Of Germany that the
change Is entirely practicable. ""The
postage stamp" concludes the Mach
richten, though q great invention, is
now obsolete. Germany has invented
the franking system, and by develop
ing it, she will be doing civilization o
great service"

STATE WILD GAME PRESERVE
Massachusetts, Ought to Take Over
! the October Mountain, says the
/ Boston Transcript.

Probably . good many Massachu-
setts people read the other day a short
newspaper dispatch to the effect that
an American elk had been shot In New
Jersey without realizing that the feat
could be duplicated in this state, pro-
vided one wished to violate the game
laws. Two Of these magnificent ami.
mails, both bulls, are still roaming the
old Whitney reservation, on October
mountain, remnants Of larger herd
which formerly fourished there, and 1t
is interesting to note also that the buf-
falo on the Wichita national forest re-
serve, in Oklahoma, are not wild bison
OF the Western plains, but animals
reared on the October mountain pre-
serve, or their descendants. It has
been demonstrated that the wapiti does
well In Massachusetts,, and many more
Of these animals should be removed
to the October mountain reservation,
which consists Of about $4,000 acres
OF land splendidly adapted to the
propagation of wild life. A project
to have the state take over this prop
erty for q state game preserve has
somehow languished of late, but there
are so many things to recommend such
action that It is to be hoped that
the legislature will at least consider
It seriously. Many of the Eastern
states are interesting themselves along
these lines. The elk shot In New
Jersey had undoubtedly wandered
there from western Pennsylvania,
where q band of elk from the Jackson
Hole country of Wyoming was estab-
hshed few years ago, and other ami.
mails have been liberated in the noun.

doubt, they are doing well.-Boston

DR.. GRENFELL AT THE FRONT
10 RecuperatIns After Some Months
Of Hard Work In the Military
HospltaIs.

Doctor Grenfell Of Labrador has
been spending a few days in London
after three months hard work in the
hospitals at the front. He is greatly
impressed by the patience, courage,
and self-sacriflcing spirit Of the men,
and is delighted with the wonderful
efficiency of the hospitals and the
general arrangements for dealing
with the sick and wounded. He has
many stories to tell Of the almost
miraculous operations performed by
his brother surgeons.
Doctor Grenfell says it is amusing
to notice what a ridiculously small
thing will sometimes stop q bullet.
He tells Of one man who was shot
at when he was standing with his
hand on his hip. The bullet went
right through his hand, making q
clean and easily healed wound. The
difficulty was to discover what had
happened to it after it passed through
the mans hand until someone dived
into his trousers pocket. There the
bullet was found loose, having been
stopped by some coppers.

BRYAN MAY HEAD
PROHIBITIONISTS

Chicago, May 24.-If he will consent
to make the race, William Jennings
Bryan may be selected as the candidate
for president of the prohibition party.
the general conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church at Saratoga
Springs, in which he was quoted as
declaring that he had about reached
the point where he could no longer fol-
low a political party which refused to
endorse national prohibition, was dis
cussed by prohibition party leaders
here. They expressed the belief that if
the democratic national convention at
st. Louis declines to adopt a national
Bryan might consent to become the
candidate of the prohibition party for
president. The prohibition national
convention will be held at st. Paul July
in the interest of the movement to OBJ
tain pledges from 100000 citizens to
vote only for candidates for public Of
fee who favor national prohibition.
Other candidates for president being
former Gov William sulzer of New
York, former Gov. Eugene Foss of
Massachusetts,, former Gov. J. Frank
Hanly of Indiana, Gen. Nelson A. Miles
Of Washington. d. c. and Richmond P.
The convention promises to be the
| most important in the history of the
party, in the opinion of the leaders.
One suggestion that may come before
the convention involves the entire re-
organization of the party under a new
name.
A referendum vote of the executive
committee is now being taken by mail
to select temporary chairman for the
convention. The two candidates being
| considered are w. P. F. Ferguson OF
| Franklin, Pa, and Daniel A. Polling OF

DIFFERENT KINDS OF PIPE
Day Has Long Passed Since There
Was But One Style OF That
Article In Use.

Up to about 28 years ago hand
puddled iron was used entirely for
making pipe; for various reasons
steel had not been successfully welded,
and as the quantities needed were
comparatively small there was no trou-
BILE in supplying the demand. bays the
Engineering Magazine. With an In
creasing use Of pipe, however, the dis
covery that steel could be welded when
treated properly, and the discovery Of
cheaper and better processes Of maxi.
ing this material, caused 1t to be en-
ployed more and more, and two classes
Of pipe appeared on the market-iron
and steel With many manufacturers
In the field different grades of these
appeared, and now there are a number
of such grades; in fact there is as
much difference between some Of the
wrought-iron pipes az there is between
IL and the steels, and there is cor
responding disparity between the lat
ter. All Of this has tended to in
crease the confusion, and inasmuch
as any new material is liable to be
looked upon with suspicion, It is per-
haps only natural that there should
have arisen much lack Of agreement
regarding the length Of life which
iron pipe, as contrasted with that
made from steel, might be expected to
give.

NICKEL WILL REPLACE PAPER
Metal Substitute, According to Edison,
VIII Reduce Bulk and Weight
Of Books.

Edison is not alarmed by the paper
scare; he foresees the day when nickel
will be substituted for paper in books,
remarks London Answers. He esti'
mates that a sheet Of nickel one
twenty-thousandth of an inch thick is
cheaper, more flexible and more dur
able than an ordinary sheet Of note
paper.
The weight would not be great, ei.
ther, for a nickel book, containing
10000 pages, would only weigh one
pound, and only be two inches thick
The Japanese are wonderful paper
manufacturers, paper being put to fan
more uses in Japan than in Europe
and they cultivate certain mulberry
osier solely for the use of it's bark in
paper manufacture.
Wood pulp is not by any means the
sole paper material, for at the Paris
exhibition Of 1889 sixty webs, or rolls
of paper were displayed, each roll be
ing made from a different fiber. Books
too, have seen the light, produced from
several hundred leaves of different
fiber.
The pity Is, though, that these dis
coveries are either too costly for pro
duction or that the substances are un
obtainable in Europe.

Should the price Of lead average the
merest fraction more than $3.50 hun
dredweight, recent New York quota-
ton for March, 1t would mean that
practically every man employed in the
mines OF the Occur d'Alenes, approxi-
mately 5000, would this month be paid
bonus of 81 shift for every day
worked, the Spokane Spokesman-Re-
view states. This would involve an in-
crease in the pay roll of the district of
$4,000 q day. or $150,o00 month.
The price Of lead is so firm of late
that there does not seem now to be the
slightest doubt that the bonus will be
at least 75 cents a shift, as it was for
March, while the prospect is fair for a
bonus of 81.
The normal pay roll Of the Occur
d'Alene district as a whole is around
100000 month. The bonus paid in
March exceeded $4,000.
