RISK LIVES CARRYING MAILS
Swiss Postmen Face Grave Dangers
\ In Execution Of Their Duty
- g Among tho Mountains.

There are several post offices in
Switzerland at q height OF 1000 or
more: feet and a mail box on the very
summit Of the Vanguard, from which
Tour collections are made daily, is
nearly 10000 feet above the sea level.
Near here some years ago three letter
carriers were crushed to death by an
avalanche. In an adjacent canton, In,
the summer OF, 1893 q postman fell
into q, creyasse while crossing q gla-
cier, his two full; bags on his back.
All efforts to- recover either the body
or the mails were fruitless.. But "a
years afterward, IN 1897, the glacier
cast forth Its prey many miles lower
down the valley, and the: long.lost let
tiers were delivered to as many Of the
addresses as could be traced.
Not infrequently, too; these Alpine
postmen are attacked by the huge,
fierce eagles that, soar hungrily above
the least frequented cragss& Usually
the men are able to beat off their
feathered assailants but not always.
In July one year postman who car
ried the mails on foot between the VII
lagos Of Sospello and Puget Theniers
was fatally mauled BY three such
birds. Of two men who attempted to
avenge his death one was killed out
right and another injured so severely
. that his life was for long time In
danger.

TRACE Jazz MUSIC TO CHINA

music Of cannibal feasts and orgiastic
dances. But. further back it can be
traced to. the beginnings of civilization
in China itself. Confucius, who lived
nearly $500 years ago, edited book
Of ceremonies called the Iii Ki." The
book of ceremonies was venerable
Chinese classic long before Confucius
gave his attention to it. The sayings
in the Ill Ki' represent viewpoint

perhaps corresponds to the date as

The NavipenduIum.

One of the problems which naval
architects have to confront is the roll
ing Of a ship on the waves, and the
"navipendulum" is an invention for
dealing with 1t experimentally.
The apparatus consists Of two
parts: A plate to which a motion cor
responding to that Of portion Of the
surface Of a wave is impaired, and a
pendulum of peculiar shape which
rolls upon the moving plate in the man
ner of vessel supported by water,
The same pendulum can be made
to represent different vessels Of given
size and shape by adding or removing
artificial resistance to the oscillatory
motion.
This instrument has been employed
to study the rolling Of the italian bat
tleships as we'll as those Of other
countries.
