HISTORY OF INAUGURATION Sponsor of Bill Providing for Special Delivery of Mail Tells of Hard Time He Had Getting It Through. New York.-How the much-used spe cial delivery stamp was passed upon by congress after a bitter fight almost thirty-five years ago after a bill provid ing for its use was Introduced by Dr. Charles R. Skinner, now legislative librarian and formerly state superin tendent of instruction, was recently re le*ed by the former congressman. T'Le aumber of these stamps has increased from 8906,344 during the first fiscal year of nine months to 58,544,337 in 1919. Between 1885, the year of the adop tion of the stamp bill. and last year. Doctor Skinner says, 450,072,072 pieces of mail bearing the ten-cent stamp were delivered. "In his report of 1883 as first assist ant postmaster general Frank Hatton alluded to the success of many com panies organiszed to deliver letters by messenger, and suggested that the gov ernment might with propriety_ adopt plans for the speedy delivery of let ters ausing the mails and clerical force to accomplish the results sought," writes Doctor Skinner in a recent issue of State Service, a magazine devoted to the government of New York state tnd its affairs. "Mr. Hatton's sugges tion quickly came to my notice as a representative in congress, and was the subject of many conferences be tween myself and my friend, Edward If. Gates, then postmaster, at my home a Wathrtown. The plan seemed to be easible and was favorably considered. as a result of frequent conferences a ll providing for a special delivery .tamp. embodying the features prac ically as they stand today, was pre dared by me for ntrductilon at the first res ion of the Forty-eighth congress in De ember. 188.

It was extended to provide for the delivery of mail matters specially stamped at any free delivery office, or within one mile of every other office." From the introduction of the bill, when It was referred to the committee on post offices and post roads by Speaker John O. Carlisle, until its final enactment, dozens of pages in the'Con gressional Record were used to report the arguments on the bill between members of the house, writes Doctor *lnner.

Dirigibles Between New York and San Francisco Project Being Diecussed. Cambridge. Mass.-A dirigible air nh!g line to engage in regular passen ger service between New York and San Francisco is a project in which war department officials would like to interest capital, with a view to having an air fleet immediately available an case of war, according to Prof. Har vey N. Davis of Harvard university. Prof. Davis Is engaged in expert work on helium gas for the depart ment, and is designing a plant to be built at Langley field. Virginia, where the expensive gas after use in the mil itary lighter than-air craft may be washed free of impurities and used again. Estimates by Col. William N. Hens ley of the war department indicate that It will be possible for passenger. to go by airship overland at a cost of about 5 cents a mile.

It was rtn;il na spleial order for Feb. ruary 13. 1S5,. Doctor Skinner contin tes. Ital i; went well untll the pars graph rehlting to the special stamp was reiached. whtren the opposition broke out afresh. Mr. McMillin. who. accordi n: to the present librarian, seemed to have a particular prejudice against the ten-cent stamp feature, said the proposition changed existlng laws and that it was also legislation upon an appropriation ill,. which was against the rules of the house, unless It could he shown that the proposition reduced expenditures. It was finally passed by the house, carrying with it the special stamp clase. But opposition to the stamp was even more vigorous In the senate than in the house of representatives, he says, and many amendments were voted upon and accepted, but they were just as quickly disagreed with by mem bers of the house. After a bitter strug gle the bill with the special stamp fea ture was finally passed by a vote of 79 to 66. It was signed by President Arthur and made a law. It went info effect October 1, 1S.43. almost two years after its Introduction. On March 2, 1902. the law was amended, providing that ten cents in ordinary stamps, in addition to regular postage affixed to a letter or package marked "special delivery," entitled the matter to all privileges. "The advent of the airship as a regular passenger carrier Is much nearer than many persons in this country realize," said Mr. Davis. "I shall he surprised if the coming soum mer does not see a line of airships in operation by an English firm between the United States and the British Isles, and I have no doubt whatever that a year from now will see regular weekly sailings. By the use of helium all danger of disaster from explosions such as have wrecked big balloons filled with hydrogen will be averted. "There will be no fear of ignition of the gas by bullets, lightning or spark! from the engine. In fact, it is pointes out that the engines may be placed inside the outer shell of the dirigible. and that except for observation pur poses no car need be carried outside the big bag." While the present cost of producelg helium is about ten times that of hy drogen. Professor Davis believes that development of Its manufacture wili result in a cheaper product. Helium will be used to fu!nlsh the lifting pow. er in the $2,500,000 dirigible which te, navy department etpects to obta'i from an English manufacturer soon.

El Chat may be classed as a digni fled ballroom dance. The movement throughout Its three variations is slow and calls for a creeping motion that may have inspired its caption. There also is just a touch of the kittenish to It when the dancers, at the end of the second movement, rise to their toes and wiggle their heels. It is a simple. graceful dance, easily acquired. It is intended to take its place with the fox trot, one-step and modern modification of the waltz, hut is no relation whatever to the dance Jim Crow. Alexis Kosloff. who danced with the Russian imperial ballet during the regime of the late czar, is the origi nator of the cat step. Man Has Hardware Store in Stomach.
