Franks" Used on Early
Pony Express, Writer Says

While letters were carried by
mail, on horseback, before the is
suance of postage stamps, in 1847,
at Eastern points, the first record
we have of a Pony Express in Cali
fornia was in 1848, the year gold
was discovered, notes a writer in
the New York Sun. Samuel Bran
non, publisher of the California Star,
at Yerba Buena (now San Fran
cisco) is claimed to have created
the pioneer pony express.
He proposed to carry letters for SOL
cents each to Eastern points and
guaranteed they would reach their
destination within two weeks. On
April 1, 1848, his pony started carry
ing mail to Independence, Mo. In
stead of arriving there in the speci-
fled two weeks time it took all sum-
mer. Then gold was discovered,
and in the attendant excitement
caused thereby this Pony Express
became forgotten enterprise.
AT the time of the gold rush Cali
fornia as place Of Importance was
entirely non-existent. Population and
activity were conferred in the north,
with three rivers utilized as the
main highway. San Francisco had
become city almost overnight, and
the other important points were.
Sacramento, reached by the Sacra-,
mento River; Marysville, on the,
Feather River, and Stockton, on the
San Joaquin. Express messengers
carried mail on the boats and made
the rounds of the mining camps, the
envelopes bearing the frank" Of

yet good button is not nearly as

should have certain definite char

built out a little; the holes should
have rounded edges so as not to
fray the thread; and the bridge be-

thin. These points any woman can

tell how the button will launder.

The remains of Napoleon were

Greenland Covered With
1.OOO-Et. Blanket of lie,

Greenland is covered with blan-
ket of solid ice over 1000 #. thick
and is the largest island in the
world. Australia, of course, is ex-
cepted, being classed as continent,
notes a writer in Tid-Bits Magazine.
Greenland is inhabited by about
400 whites and $4,000 Eskimos, and
is controlled by Denmark. 1t is
twenty-five times as large as Ire
land, its area being about 1927, 300
square miles. No foreigner can live
on the island or trade in the country
without special permission from the
authorities.
Greenland was originally discov-
cred by Norseman in the latter
part of the tenth century; he set
tied in the extreme south portion.
The colonists vanished, however,
and their fate is one of the mys-
teries of history.
The vast ice-cap which covers the
island except for narrow fringe at
the edge of the surrounding sea has
a central dividing crest from five
to nine thousand feet high, while
here and there ice-free mountain
peaks burst through their frigid
armor and lift their heads towards
the heavens, some eight or nine
Thousand feet above sea level. Vast
ice streams, which form gigantic
icebergs, flow continuously from the
inland ice into adjacent seas, largely
through fiords of which Greenland
has the most extensive and most
remarkable system in the world.
